Gluten Free Pantry Vs Pamelas

My local store carries quite a few items by Gluten Free Pantry... and Pamelas. Which do you recommend?? I'm mainly interested in a cake or brownie mix.... and a general baking mix (like, to replace "flour"). Pam's was a bit more expensive. Is it worth the extra money?

AS for the cake mix... I am a chocoholic.... and a self-proclaimed chocolate conniseiur (spelled wrong, for sure). I can easily taste the difference between "real chocolate", and the cheap brown stuff that is just called chocolate. If any of you are chocolate experts, please mention that in your response - it would be good to know. :) Thanks!

LOL! I consider myself to be a chocolate aficionado and my personal preference when it comes to chocolate is Pamela's brownie mix, mainly because it has extra chunks of chocolate in it and when I serve it to non celiacs they CAN'T tell the difference! When it comes to baking mixes pancake mixes and such I actually prefer 1-2-3 Gluten Free's mixes... The lady that started this company is a perfectionist, and she won't put out a product unless it's absolutely perfect! I absolutely love the Buckwheat Pancake Mix, The Southern Glory Biscuit Mix, and Aarons Favorite Rolls

Yes--for brownies mixes, Pamela's...

Arrowhead Mills has some very good mixes, including a choc. chip cookie. Just be careful because some are gluten-free and some aren't.

My favorite choc. cake mix is from Dietary Specialties ~ VERY good!! I have their brownie mix but have not tried it yet. I love Gluten Free Pantries sandwich bread mix if you are looking for that item as well. Good luck!

Another vote for gluten free pantry chocolate truffle brownie mix. I buy it in bulk the 5lb bag!! :D My family loves it!! They always steal my brownies when I take them to their house. I smother them in milk chocolate frosting mmmmmm

They also make a mean brownie sundae after being put into the microwave for about 20 seconds and drop some icecream ontop of them.

Also recently tried a suggestion from this board, melted a large box of junior mints onto the brownies. However I went one step further. I went ahead and put frosting on them also!! HOLEY COW SOOOOo good!!

I have a bag of the Chocolate Truffle Brownie Mix. I was going to make them with my son this week, but now I will have to buy the Junior Mints and try it that way. Sounds fantastic. So does the Brownie Sundae! Thanks for the tips!

Jessica, do you cook the brownies and then spread the junior mints on while it cools. It seems to me that this would be sufficient to let them melt, but it also sounds good if you stir them in the mix and bake them right in! :D I love brownies!

God bless,

Mariann

Wow! I'm drooooling!!! So many good comments and suggestions! Thanks everyone! I made the plunge today, by the way. I've been really really sick for the last few weeks - to the point that i've become this irritable crabby *itch. I've even been getting violent the last few days - hoping someone will give me an excuse to kill them. My precious little 3 yr old said somethign to me today that made me realize just how out of hand it was getting. SOOO... when I went grocery shopping, i shopped gluten-free!!! It was surprisingly easy! Except that I did get a few things that I wasn't sure about. Sodium phosphate? good or bad? Ate a gluten-free dinner. Threw out the donuts. I can't wait to feel better!!! At least now I have hope!

What I did when I made them was when they were cooked, I immediately dumped the box onto the brownies as soon as they came out of the oven. They melted onto the browies then cooled. Then I spread frosting over all of that. mmmm

Both brands are really good. When I make the brownies, I put the batter into the pan and then I take raspberry jelly and swirl it into the batter. You have to cook it for another 5-10 minutes. But it is so worth it.

      Oh, okay. The lower case "b" in boots in your first post didn't lead me in the direction of a proper name. I thought maybe it was a specialty apothecary for people with pedal diseases or something.

      In the Europe the new protocol for making a celiac disease diagnosis in children is if their tTg-IgA (tissue transglutaminase IgA) levels are 10 times or above the positive level for celiac disease. According to the latest research, if the blood test results are at certain high levels that range between 5-10 times the reference range for a positive celiac disease diagnosis, it may not be necessary to confirm the results using an endoscopy/biopsy: Blood Test Alone Can Diagnose Celiac Disease in Most Children and Adults TGA-IgA at or Above Five Times Normal Limit in Kids Indicates Celiac Disease in Nearly All Cases No More Biopsies to Diagnose Celiac Disease in Children! There are other things that may cause elevated tTg-IgA levels, but in general a reaction to gluten is the culprit:

      Hi @trents Just seen this - Boot's is a chain of pharmacies in the UK, originally founded in the 19th Century by a chap with the surname, Boot.  It's a household name here in the UK and if you say you are going to Boot's everyone knows you are off to the pharmacist! Cristiana

      I am looking to find a Celiac Dietician who is affiliated with the Celiac Disease Foundation who I can set up an appointment with.  Can you possibly give some guidance on this?  Thank you!

      Nacina, Knitty Kitty has given you good advice. But I would say/add find a Fat Soluble B-1 like Benfotiamine for best results.  The kind found in most Multivitamins have a very low absorption rate. This article shows how taking a Fat Soluble B-1 can effectively help absorption by 6x to7x times. https://www.naturalmedicinejournal.com/journal/thiamine-deficiency-and-diabetic-polyneuropathy quoting from the article.... "The group ingesting benfotiamine had maximum plasma thiamine levels that were 6.7 times higher than the group ingesting thiamine mononitrate.32" Also, frequency is much more important than amount when it comes to B-Vitamin. These are best taken with meals because they provide the fat for better absorption. You will know your B-Vitamin is working properly when your urine becomes bright yellow all the time. This may take two or three months to achieve this.......maybe even longer depending on how low he/you are. The Yellow color is from excess Riboflavin bypassing the Kidneys....... Don't stop them until when 2x a day with meals they start producing a bright yellow urine with in 2 or 3 hours after the ingesting the B-Complex...... You will be able to see the color of your urine change as the hours go by and bounce back up after you take them in the evening. When this happens quickly......you are now bypassing all the Riboflavin that is in the supplement. The body won't absorb more than it needs! This can be taken as a "proxy" for your other B-Vitamin levels (if taken a B-Complex) ...... at least at a quick and dirty level......this will only be so for the B-1 Thiamine levels if you are taking the Fat Soluble forms with the Magnesium as Knitty Kitty mentioned. Magnesium is a Co-Factor is a Co-factor for both Thiamine and Vitamin D and your sons levels won't improve unless he also takes Magnesium with his Thiamine and B-Complex. You will notice his energy levels really pick up.  His sleeping will improve and his muscle cramps will get better from the Magnesium! Here is nice blog post that can help you Thiamine and it's many benefits. I hope this is helpful but it is not medical advice God speed on your son's continued journey I used to be him. There is hope! 2 Tim 2:7 “Consider what I say; and the Lord give thee understanding in all things” this included. Posterboy by the grace of God,
