My Favorites

Chebe Bread Mix -- I absolutely love their pizza-- have tried Amy's and other brands, but this one takes the cake, lol...no pun intended. You can order online at Open Original Shared Link and it's very unlikely you'll find them in any health food store. There is no shipping cost, but you get a discount on the packages if you buy them in bulk. I'd recommend the bread mix over the pizza mix for making pizza, just because it seems to work better. Also, it gets better as you make it more often...you sort of get the hang of it. Umm...cover in gluten-free sauce (I use the Four cheese Classico, but Prego is also gluten-free) and grated parmesean and mozzarella (Kraft has both in those see-through bags and both are gluten-free).

Foods By George -- Great English muffins, excellent brownies, realistic corn muffins, good blueberry muffins, and a fabulous pizza. Comes in small sizes though and outrageously expensive--like $7.50 for a small container of brownies. Website: Open Original Shared Link

Ener-G -- Open Original Shared Link . I like their Tapioca loaf bread the best--the rice is extremely dry and too thick. I use their bread, though, and they make other products, as well.

Tinkyada -- The undisputed pasta champion over DeBoles and everything else. I don't think I could tell the difference between it and regular pasta and if I could, Tinkyada would win. In the San Francisco Chronical there was a taste test and Tinkyada had a score of something like 93 from professional chefs and Deboles had like 40, some gluten-free pastas had 10 or 0, a few had 60 or so. Tinkyada won by a lot, though. Definitely would recommend it.

Mrs. Lepers -- GREAT mixes for meals. I've tried a...chicken alfredo, beef lasagna, and cheeseburger something. They come with packages for sauce, uncooked noodles, and you add the chicken or beef to it. Would work fine without the meat, though, very good.

Kinnikinick -- Also a good bread. They make muffins and other bread products as well. The website is their name, though I'm sure I misspelled it.

Pamela's Products -- Great mixes and the best packaged cookies.

Gluten Free Pantry -- Great mixes.

Glutino -- I love their bagels! Lighter than normal ones, but the best I've found so far. And they actually toast well.

Arrowhead Mills -- Pretty good "grits" called Rice and Shine. Excellent gluten-free choc. chip cookie mix. Be careful about buying the gluten-free ones, though, cause some of their products contain gluten.

Amy's -- great frozen meals and they also make a pizza. Be careful that you buy gluten-free products by them, as many are not gluten-free.

Nature's Path (Envirokids) -- I liked some of their cereals. Many like the bars.

Mi-del -- I don't like them, but some swear by their animal crackers. Also make ginger snaps and mini choc. chip cookies.

Though if I could only have one selection, I would pick the gluten-free pantry/glutino, I gave my vote to the Chebe products because I love the pizza and because I know that they won't get many votes :lol: since they only make a few products.

Grandma Ferdon's is my absolute favorite. I actually don't really buy any other gluten-free processed food besides some Amy's meals and soups and Imagine butternut squash soup.

frenchiemama Collaborator

Oh, also Lundberg rice chips. How could I forget?

Guest gfinnebraska

The only gluten-free products I use on a regular basis (when not on the SCD) is Dietary Specialties mixes (their choc. cake is WONDERFUL!!!!) and Gluten Free Pantry Sandwich bread ~ which bakes up nice in my bread machine. :) I am trying to not eat too many mixes and learn to make things myself. MUCH easier on the wallet!!! ;)

I like it as pizza crust. I also like the garlic bread mix too. I have to try their cinnamon one and see how that one tastes too.

jenvan Collaborator

I ditto some of the above:

Tinkyada's pasta is great.

Kinninnick's italian white bread is good.

Nut-Thins are really good too--more tasty than a basic rice cracker.

Pamela makes a pancake/general baking mix I used for cookies--best I've had yet.

Amy's frozen dinners are great--there are a lot of varieties.

Wild Oats makes some great mini gluten-free choc chip cookies in a plastic tub.

But the product I nearly worship is Mi-Del's arrowroot/animal crackers. Probably b/c its the closest thing to graham crackers I've found. I go to Wild Oats and literally take every bag off the shelf ! And if someone else tries to buy a bag, I tear it out of their hands and push them down ! (Okay, just kidding about the last part...) :lol:

I'm a real Kinnikinnick fan! Our main grocery store carries a lot of their products. I tried their pizza crust for the first time last week and they are great. Found them in the freezer compartment with the bread, donnuts and blueberrie muffins :D Yummmm

I use Mrs Leeper's corn pasta (yummy!) and Bob's Red Mill for most of my flours.

gf4life Enthusiast

I don't like the way the poll is listed, since it groups together my absolute most favorite pasta (Tinkyada) and my least favorite pasta (DeBoles, yuck!). I can actually say that I made myself a note on my shopping list to never buy DeBoles again. :blink:

That said, my favorites are:

Tinkyada - their pasta is the best! We love all their pastas, but prefer the ones with rice bran.

Kinnikinnick - pizza crust, english miffins, white sandwich bread, bagels, angel food cake mix, and bread and bun mix.

Glutino-breakfast bars (apple and blueberry only, hated the chocolate), also we like a lot of their cookies and breadsticks, crackers, etc.

Ener-G - their new Wylde pretzels are great! (and soy free, too!), I also buy my flours in bulk from them. I like the texture of their rice flours.

Amy's - frozen meals (the ones without tofu) especially the Rice Mac N Cheese, and the Cheese Enchilada.

Really Great Foods- chocolate cake mix, and banana bread cake mix are our favorites

Aunt Candace -cookies and bars are really good

Sorry...I know what you mean, but with a limit of 10 poll choices, I had to condense the pastas--I think it's a given that any votes for that category are due to Tinkyada

gf4life Enthusiast

I know celiac3270, I'm not complaining about how you did the poll, just how the poll is set up. You should be able to list more than 10 choices, and also pick more than one choice when you vote on the poll...

God bless,

Here's a brand that I absolutely LOVE that I haven't seen listed, it's 1-2-3 Gluten Free, and they have a southern style Biscuit Mix that is out of this world! Roll Mix, Cake mixes, Pound cake mix, Buckwheat Pancake Mix... I use a lot of this products mixes. They are easy to use and delicious! Last I heard, the woman that owns this company was even working on a mix for an Easy Bake Oven for kids! I believe you can order off the website

Bob's Red Mill. Ancient Harvest.

Most of the prepared stuff is either:

1) not dairy free

2) too high in sugar

3) too low in protein

4) outrageously high in fat (12g for a hamburger bun?!)

5) not altogether that tasty

for my tastes.

celiac3270 Collaborator

I know, Mariann. It would be good if you could list as many poll choices as you wanted (well, within reason) and choose how many you can pick (just one, all, five (as in, pick your top 5 favorites, etc.) But we're not the people who have to put all this in tedious computer languages... :rolleyes:

1) not dairy free

2) too high in sugar

3) too low in protein

4) outrageously high in fat (12g for a hamburger bun?!)

Tiffany -- I can see your points about this--for me, though, df doesn't matter, I'm not health conscious enough to care (to a degree) about sugar, and I can use all the fat I can get. :lol: Plus, I'm not terribly good at cooking. :rolleyes:

While on the high-fat thing, it's really interesting that the...store-bought gluten-free food is either extremely high in fat or has no fat at all--not really any medium. It would be quite a challenge for me to find a cookie with less than 5 grams of fat in it, but many foods have barely any fat at all.....can't think of a specific example off the top of my head--lol :lol:

      If a Celiac person is successful in following a gluten-free diet, they can go into remission.   They may not have a reaction to gluten without a precipitating event like an injury or infection or even emotional or mental stress.   Following a strict gluten-free diet at home, then indulging in gluten containing products abroad without a reaction can be explained by this remission.  
    • Scott Adams
      Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS.

      Hi Theresa,  A few of my friends have your same story. You may be right about barley, etc.  18 years ago at a football game while clapping, suddenly my 4th finger was in agony.  It looked like a vein had burst. It was blue for a couple hours, then disappeared.  Finally realized it happened every time when drinking beer.  It's occurred several times over the years when opening a jar, lifting something that was a bit heavy, holding on to tight to something.  Immediate icing stops the pain and discoloration.  Now avoiding wheat in the US, it rarely happens.  Thanks for the reminder.  Will have Entero Labs run another test. Unfortunately they've relocated to Switzerland/Greece.

      The EMA test is an old and less sensitive test for anti-tTG2 antibodies. It relies on a technician using a microscope to check for fluorescence of a labelled substrate (typically monkey oesophagus or human umbilicus), giving a simple positive/negative result. It is similar to running a standard anti-tTG2 test but with a high cut-off, making it more specific but less sensitive. Transient rises in tTG2 can be caused by e.g. viral infections and inflammation. Very high levels of anti-tTG2 (>x10 standard range) are almost certainly coeliac disease but moderately raised levels can have several causes apart from coeliac disease. Other food allergies can cause villi blunting but that is much rarer than coeliac disease or other non-coeliac causes. Not All That Flattens Villi Is Celiac Disease: A Review of Enteropathies
