Brownies

Hello again. I wonderong if anyone has tried the store-bought brownies in the gluten-free freezer section. They are by a brand with a really long name and it starts with a K.

If so are they any good?

Sorry I am not at home right now to ge the full name of the product.

Umm...I've tried Food By George brownies, but they're terribly expensive and not as good as the ones made with a gluten-free mix so I don't eat those much.

Do you mean Kinnikinick? (do they make brownies?)

sdore Enthusiast

Yes! That's the brand!

I saw them over the wekend at my local grocery store. They were already in a paper-like pan, but had no instructions on how to make. I guess you just defrost them like everything else.

I was tempted o buy them, but they were very expensive. I would hate to wast money if they didn't taste good.

What you can do is buy them and taste it then return it if you don't like it. Companies around here will do that. We got apple muffins that were gluten-free and tasted them and they were horrible so they took them back :D

I just tried Ener-G Foods brownies yesterday. If you like cooky crisp on the outside, chewy-on-the-inside brownies, don't bother with Ener-G's version. :angry: If you like brownies which taste like heavy chocolate cake, you'll love these. <_< The package even suggests splitting the brownie chunk into 2 horizonal layers and frosting them like a cake. :blink: After tasting Ener-G's Brownies I gave the rest to my nonceliac (garbage disposal) husband and made Almond Chocolate Chip Quinoa cookies for myself. :lol:

What? :huh: Do you mean that the healthfood store will do that or the manufacturer?

About that--be careful because some companies will and some won't do this. I know that the Gluten Free Pantry does not have such a return policy and Miss Robens does...

The health food store...not the manufacturer

of course be careful with it...they have never had a problem with it where we go

      I looked further into Thiamax Vitamin B1 by objective nutrients and read all the great reviews. I think I will give this a try. I noticed only possible side affect is possibly the first week so body adjusts. Life Extensions carries Benfotiamine with Thiamine and the mega one you mentioned. Not sure if both in one is better or seperate. some reviews state a laxative affect as side affect. SHould I take with my super B complex or just these 2 and multivitamin? I will do further research but I appreciate the wonderful explanation you provided on Thiamine.

      There are other Celiac genes. HLA DQ 2 and HLA DQ 8 show up in people from Northern European descent.   People of Mediterranean descent have HLA DQ 7.  People of Asian descent have HLA DQ 9.   There's other Indigenous populations that have other HLA genes that code for Celiac disease.   Are you still having symptoms?   What do you include in your diet?  Are you vegetarian? Are you taking any prescription medication?  Omeprazole?  Metformin?   Do you have anemia?  Thyroid problems? Are you taking any vitamins or herbal supplements?

      There are eight essential B vitamins.  They are all water soluble.  Any excess of B vitamins is easily excreted by the kidneys.   Thiamine is Vitamin B 1.  Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  Benfotiamine and TTFD are forms of Thiamine that the body can utilize very easily.   The form of Thiamine in the supplements you mentioned is Thiamine Mononitrate, a form that the body does not absorb well and does not utilize well.  Only about thirty percent of the amount on the label is actually absorbed in the small intestine.  Less than that can actually be used by the body.  Manufacturers add thiamine mononitrate to their products because it's cheap and shelf-stable.  Thiamine and other B vitamins break down when exposed to light and heat and over time.  Thiamine Mononitrate is a form that does not break down over time sitting on a shelf waiting for someone to buy them.  What makes Thiamine Mononitrate shelf stable makes it difficult for the body to turn into a useable form.  In fact, it takes more thiamine to turn it into a useable form.   Gastrointestinal Beriberi is a localized shortage of Thiamine in the gastrointestinal tract.  High carbohydrate meals can result in gastrointestinal symptoms of Gastric Beriberi.  Fiber is a type of carbohydrate.  So, high fiber/carbohydrate snacks could trigger Gastric Beriberi.   Since blood tests for Thiamine and other B vitamins are so inaccurate, the World Health Organization recommends trying Thiamine and looking for health improvement because it's safe and nontoxic.

      Thanks very interesting I have to see if I should take these 2 vitamins along with my multi and super Vit B complex or if its too much or would hurt me. I don't have any other health issues but would love to see if this improves anything especially to feel stronger build muscle.
