Things continue to get better and better.

Namaste, carried at Wal Mart, has a premix bag for their Spice Cake.

Its incredible. Looks like cake, bakes like cake, it makes a huge pan full, isn't dry, isn't flaky. You can stick a fork in it and it stays, its not super dense like others. You would never ever know.

It is just a TAD dry but if you leave it in the fridge it moistens up. We served it to the family as Thanksgiving and no one knew.

I've heard their pancake mix is better than gluten based pancake mixes, next on the list to try.

We love the Namaste mixes and blends! We buy the brownie mix (our absolute favorite!), the spice cake mix, the chocolate cake mix, the biscuit, pie crust & more mix, the perfect flour blend, and others I can't think of right now. We have had the pancake mix in the past, but haven't recently. I just use the perfect flour blend and some light buckwheat flour that we like to make pancakes with a recipe. (Perfect Flour Blend is a cup for cup flour replacement for wheat flour.)

Every time we have to go to a pot luck, we take Namaste brownies. I add a handful of Enjoy Life chocolate chips to the batter before baking. No one but us - and anyone else with celiac or food allergies that we tell - know they are gluten-free. With a gluten, corn, dairy, soy, MSG, "and more" -free family, Namaste mixes work great for us.

I just used Namaste Perfect Flour Blend this Thanksgiving to make a pumpkin roll and a banana cake. The best sweets I baked since going gluten free 18 months ago. Both were delicious and very moist. Don't know if it was the pumpkin and the bananas that were added in that made them so moist, but they were AWESOME! My gluten eating family even ate some and did not complain!

I have mentioned Namaste over and over. I LOVE Namaste!! Mine NEVER turns out dry though. My coworkers love when I bring carrot cake.

Is it in the gluten-free section at Wal-Mart? I've never seen their products at the Wal-Mart where I shop.

Our Target just converted to include a large grocery section and they now sell Namaste products, as well as Pamela's, Bob's, plus other gluten-free snack foods.

      Headaches / Migraines and Hypoglycaemia

      By trents · Posted

      My migraines generally have their onset during the early morning hours as well. Presently, I am under siege with them, having headaches all but two days so far this month. I have looked at all the things reported to be common triggers (foods, sleep patterns, weather patterns, stress, etc.). Every time I think I start to see a pattern it proves not to pan out in the long run. I'm not sure it's any one thing but may, instead, be a combination of things that coalesce at certain times. It's very frustrating. The medication (sumatriptan or "Imatrix") is effective and is the only thing that will quell the pain. NSAIDs, Tylenol, even hydrocodone doesn't touch it. But they only give you 9 does of sumatriptan a month. And it doesn't help that medical science doesn't really know what causes migraines. They know some things about it but the root cause is still a mystery.

      GI DX celiac despite neg serology and no biopsy

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Just a gluten free diet is not enough.  Now you have to identify and replenish your malnutrition.  Celiac disease is co-morbid with malabsorption syndrome.  Low vitamin D, Low Thiamine caused Gastointeston Beriberi, low choline, low iodine are common the general population, and in newly diagnosed Celiacs in the western culture its is more likely.  It takes time to heal and you need to focus on vitamins and minerals.  Gluten free foods are not fortified like regular processed foods.

      Headaches / Migraines and Hypoglycaemia

      By Sarah Grace · Posted

      Dear Kitty Since March I have been following your recommendations regarding vitamins to assist with various issues that I have been experiencing.  To recap, I am aged 68 and was late diagnosed with Celiac about 12 years ago.  I had been experiencing terrible early morning headaches which I had self diagnosed as hypoglycaemia.  I also mentioned that I had issues with insomnia, vertigo and brain fog.   It's now one year since I started on the Benfotiamine 600 mg/day.  I am still experiencing the hypoglycaemia and it's not really possible to say for sure whether the Benfotiamine is helpful.  In March this year, I added B-Complex Thiamine Hydrochloride and Magnesium L-Threonate on a daily basis, and I am now confident to report that the insomnia and vertigo and brain fog have all improved!!  So, very many thanks for your very helpful advice. I am now less confident that the early morning headaches are caused by hypoglycaemia, as even foods with a zero a GI rating (cheese, nuts, etc) can cause really server headaches, which sometimes require migraine medication in order to get rid off.  If you are able to suggest any other treatment I would definitely give it a try, as these headaches are a terrible burden.  Doctors in the UK have very limited knowledge concerning dietary issues, and I do not know how to get reliable advice from them. Best regards,

      @rei.b,  I understand how frustrating starting a new way of eating can be.  I tried all sorts of gluten-free processed foods and just kept feeling worse.  My health didn't improve until I started the low histamine AIP diet.  It makes a big difference.   Gluten fits into opioid receptors in our bodies.  So, removing gluten can cause withdrawal symptoms and reveals the underlying discomfort.  SIBO can cause digestive symptoms.  SIBO can prevent vitamins from being absorbed by the intestines.  Thiamine insufficiency causes Gastrointestinal Beriberi (bloating, abdominal pain, nausea, diarrhea or constipation).  Thiamine is the B vitamin that runs out first because it can only be stored for two weeks.  We need more thiamine when we're sick or under emotional stress.  Gastric Beriberi is under recognised by doctors.  An Erythrocyte Transketolace Activity test is more accurate than a blood test for thiamine deficiency, but the best way to see if you're low in thiamine is to take it and look for health improvement.  Don't take Thiamine Mononitrate because the body can't utilize it well.  Try Benfotiamine.  Thiamine is water soluble, nontoxic and safe even at high doses.  I thought it was crazy, too, but simple vitamins and minerals are important.  The eight B vitamins work together, so a B Complex, Benfotiamine,  magnesium and Vitamin D really helped get my body to start healing, along with the AIP diet.  Once you heal, you add foods back in, so the AIP diet is worth doing for a few months. I do hope you'll consider the AIP diet and Benfotiamine.
