So, for $4.79 we got about 2 1/2 to 3 cups of mix :o

But, we got 10 biscuits out of it. it has around 5 recipes on the box for different items.

We did biscuits, so used 2 cups of the mix :unsure: and they turned out great. my other son who is not on a gluten-free diet (yet) devoured them and normally he turns his nose up to anything we make that is gluten-free after trying it. :blink: Everyone enjoyed them!

So, other than the price, they were a HUGE hit.

Holy cow! That is expensive. Where did you buy it? I paid $3.84 at my local Wal-Mart (still expensive considering the inexpensive ingredients that are in it). I was surprised to see that it came in a tiny 16 oz. box. I guess I was expecting it to be a much larger box.

Glad to hear the biscuits turned out well. I haven't made anything yet but am thinking of making pancakes tomorrow morning.

Can't wait to try it so I can get back to those impossible Bisquick pies. I haven't made one of those in about 25 years! Guess that ages me.

$4.79 would make me croak, too. lol I'm sure distribution of new products like this take time to roll out to the stores that stock General Mills products.

I really had to search for it at Wal-Mart in Waynesboro, PA. It was buried on the very bottom shelf next to the reduced fat Bisquick. Just one row of the gluten free Bisquick and it was almost gone. Picture me practically on my hands and knees trying to reach it. tongue.gif They certainly didn't give it much shelf space.

This morning I tried the gluten free Bisquick for pancakes. They are excellent. Expensive, but excellent!

In looking at the ingredients of this Bisquick, the main item is rice flour followed by sugar and leavening (sounds like baking powder to me). The only other flour is modified potato starch with the last items salt and xanthan gum. Obviously there's not a lot of potato starch in it.

I found this recipe for gluten free pancakes on the Land O Lakes website (ingredients are very similar) and it would be a lot less expensive. Open Original Shared Link

I'm glad that mainstream companies like General Mills come out with gluten free items and are generally readily available to consumers so I do like to support them. I just don't like that something with such cheap ingredients is so terribly expensive. I recently bought white rice flour for $1.15 a lb. at a local Mennonite-type market. Haven't checked my Asian store but can't believe it would be less expensive than that.

So that's my two cents worth...

here is a fantabulous recipe for pancakes if you are looking for one...

1 cup rice flour

3 tablespoons tapioca flour

1/3 cup potato starch

4 tablespoons dry buttermilk powder

1 packet sugar substitute (I use table sugar or dextrose)

1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon xanthan gum

2 eggs

3 tablespoons canola oil

2 cups water

In a bowl, mix or sift together the rice flour, tapioca flour, potato starch, dry buttermilk powder, sugar substitute, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and xanthan gum. Stir in eggs, water, and oil until well blended and few lumps remain.

Heat a large, well-oiled skillet or griddle over medium high heat. Spoon batter onto skillet and cook until bubbles begin to form. Flip, and continue cooking until golden brown on bottom. Serve immediately with condiments of your choice.

All my kids, but one :wacko: didn't like it. I think he just knows it is gluten-free.... :lol:

I finally found this while traveling. It was 3.99 at Lowes Foods in Raleigh, NC. So there is quite a bit of regional price differences. Can't wait to try making some biscuits.

I have only seen it at one store (Rockford Walmart for $3.29 I think).

I also made biscuits - they turned out GREAT. Could not even tell they were gluten free.

      Recurring flu like symptoms after being precribed immune system stimulating drug

      By sillyac58 · Posted

      I was diagnosed about 10 yrs ago with Celiac by presenting with dermatitis herpetiformis rash. I had no stomach or intestinal discomfort, but of course showed intestinal damage. The dermatitis herpetiformis eventually went away and I've been religiously gluten free ever since. About 3 years ago I was given a topical drug by a dermatologist for pre cancerous spot on my lip. The drug is called Imiquimod/Aldara, and works by stimulating your immune system. ? The package insert and many releable online sources warn to use caution using this drug if one has an auto immune disease, I hace since found out. One of the side effects is flu like symtoms, which I had at the 10 day mark as warned. But these symptoms have been recurring regularly ever since. Low grade nausea (no vomiting), extreme fatique (sleeping in daytime) and often a migraine headache on day one or two. The bouts last around 5 days or more, usually the nausea being the persistent symptom. My dermatologist, and another I went to for second opinion say this isn't a problem. I have been ill about a third of my life ever since. I have had extensive bloodwork, been to numerous specialists, but cannot figure out what is making me sick. I have become neurotic about gluten at home, using separate cutting boards, pans, sponges, dish towels, etc. I rarely eat out, and usually only because I am traveling. I have begun taking my own food to peoples homes for dinners etc. The only thing I haven't done, until now, is to eliminated oats, which I eat fairly regularly, and are known to sometimes be a trigger. And I have to say, in my defense, that it took me a very long time to suspect gluten because my only original symtom was rash/dermatitis herpetiformis. So I didn't associate the nausea/headache/fatique with gluten for a long time. Nor did any one of the many doctors I saw suspect it. I finally had a couple of dermatitis herpetiformis spots (and severe migraine) when traveling and probably eating cross contaminated food. I've never been on one of these sights but I am desperate. I'm praying it's as simple as eliminating oats. But I am angry that I was given this drug that I truly believe set this off to begin with. Anyone?

      Paying for my own Celiac screening at WalkInLab so a positive result doesn’t become part of my medical history

      Just switching to gluten free diet will answer your question without involving anyone else.  Your sister was diagnosed, that puts you at 40% risk of having it also as a first degree relative.  If you improve on a trial gluten free diet, you either have Celiac Disease (autoimmune) or Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (not autoimmune).  In any case it is important to address nutritional deficiencies like vitamin D.  Gluten free processed foods are not required to fortify.  The reason gluten foods are fortified is our western diet is deficient in them to the point where the government had to step in and require fortification.   Once you start GFD you'll realize it was the gluten you were afraid of all along, but nobody told you.

      Maybe celiac but maybe NCGS that was misdiagnosed as IBS morphing gradually into celiac. Is NCGS a new category to you? It shares many of the same GI symptoms with celiac disease but does not damage the small bowel lining like celiac.

      Oral thrush question

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Thiamine has antifungal properties.  The body uses thiamine to keep bacteria and yeasts from overgrowth in the digestive system.   Fluconazole use can cause thiamine deficiency.   Supplementing with thiamine in the form Benfotiamine would be beneficial as Benfotiamine promotes intestinal healing.   Thiamine and the other B vitamins tend to be low in Celiac due to malabsorption.  Talk to your doctor about supplementing vitamins and minerals.

      Nutrient deficiencies despite normal MARSH and strict gluten-free diet

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Welcome @Natalia Revelo, your experience is profoundly difficult and, sadly, not entirely unique within the celiac community. It's the frustrating reality of "silent" or ongoing damage that isn't captured by the MARSH score alone, which only measures active villous atrophy. Your normal biopsy suggests your diet is preventing the classic autoimmune attack, but it doesn't mean your gut has fully healed or that other issues aren't at play. The inflammation from your newly discovered milk and egg allergies is a huge clue; this constant allergic response can create a low-grade inflammatory environment that severely hampers nutrient absorption, effectively creating a "leaky gut" scenario independent of celiac damage. This is likely why your iron stores deplete so rapidly—your body is both unable to absorb it efficiently and may be losing it through inflammation. While the functional medicine path is expensive, it's clearly providing answers and relief that traditional gastroenterology, focused solely on the gluten-free diet and biopsy results, is missing. To move forward, continue the gut-healing protocols your functional doctor recommends (perhaps exploring alternative options to glutamine that won't irritate your cystitis), maintain your strict avoidance of all allergens and irritants, and know that true healing is a multi-faceted process. You might seek a second opinion from a different gastroenterologist who is more knowledgeable about non-responsive celiac disease and the complex interplay of food allergies and micronutrient absorption, but your current path, while costly, seems to be leading you toward the steady health you need.
