So I am so excited for the gluten-free Bisquick but cannot find it anywhere :( I live in Buffalo NY and even Wegmans doesnt have it. Anybody here find it around you? And if so where are you from- I would definitely road trip for this!!

I bought it at Wegman's in Southern New Jersey. Maybe the store near you was out of it? You could try asking the manager--I've found Wegmans most helpful when I've had to ask about something.

Hope you find some soon! :)

Hi BcG,

Sorry I don't have an answer about your bisquick because I'm from Canada but I'm wondering if you can let me know what the best store is in Buffalo to buy gluten free products (most variety). I'll be in Buffalo this weekend and I'm going to totally stock up (we don't have much here in Canada!). Also, have you seen Udi's bread around your neck of the woods?

Sorry to bud in on your bisquick post :D

Wegmans usually is super helpful usually- Not this time! I called two different locations and they didnt even know what i was talking about. When i called a few months ago about the Betty Crocker cake and brownie mixes- completely differnt situation. But I guess they just arent carrying them yet=- Guess I'll have to request it to be stocked- I hate being that girl!! lol

Hey Mommyto3!

Dont apologize!! Wegmans is the place to be for gluten-free. If you buy their brand name they will put Gluten free on the front. And they have a section with all sorts of stuff. Havent found any UDI's around but there is a health food store on Maple Rd. in Amherst called Feel-Rite Fresh Market & Natural Food www.feel-rite.com

3912 Maple Road, Amherst - (716) 834-3385. They dont have UDI's they are getting it in a few weeks but i called the guys there and he said they have a few kinds from local bakeries around here that are pretty good- I might go get some after work and ill let ya know tomorrow what i think!! But they seem to have a good selection by what he said on the phone.

I wonder if that blogger used a recipe from the BC gluten free site or just tried to make something up? You can't use the gluten-free stuff in the same way you would use the regular Bisquick. I made a zucchini pie with the gluten-free Bisquick and it was awesome! I ate it for three meals straight it was so good. Someone posted the recipe here, but I do believe it came from the BC website originally. My only complaint about this stuff is that it's expensive for such a little box. After I made the pie there was not enough to make biscuits.

I found mine in Lowes Foods in Raleigh, NC, BTW.

Don't call the stores call the main office at 1-800-wegmans. They will be able to help you much easier. I have always found them to be really freindly and they will be able to tell you if and when the product will be in the store near you. It took a while but they finally got the gluten-free Bisquick in my local Wegmans in the regular baking mix section not Natures Market where I thought it would be.

She's got an axe to grind. Yes, Bisquick is white flour awfulness, but it does make a crunchy golden crust when you follow the directions. It isn't cheap, it isn't great, but it comes in very handy in a pinch and is in ALL the grocery stores where I live.

I'll agree that I have made better tasting stuff. That said, I made waffles out of it and they were really good! I have tried to follow other recipes for them and have failed. I like the convenience of the stuff, especially if the husband needs to make something in a hurry. He isn't into mixing all of the different flours. I may keep it around just to make waffles.

I have to agree with this. Wonder where she got the recipe that turned out so terrible as I don't recall seeing it on the liveglutenfreely website. Sometimes I need something quick and we don't have a store full of choices for gluten free items (at least where I live). I appreciate having a company like General Mills make gluten free items that are readily available in so many stores.

I haven't made much yet but the pancakes are delish! My 11-year old granddaughter couldn't tell the difference between them and the gluteny ones her Mom makes.

That surprises me. I've made cookies several times from the BC CC product, and have had excellent results every time. Super simple to make. I add extra chips and lots of nuts. The only problem I had, was you need to put the dough in the fridge for a few minutes and in between batches. Otherwise it may spread out too thin when cooking.

But that's the same thing you have to do for made from scratch gluten-free cookies, which are a real PITA, due to all the ingredients. Plus, there was a pretty big learning curve for me when I first attempted gluten-free CC cookies from scratch. BTW, I considered myself to be a pretty good baker before gluten-free. But no matter how much I tried, I could never make good gluten-free bread.

best regards, lm

Yeah--me too. The only reason I don't make them very often is that I eat too many :P

Even my picky, non gluten-free son likes them.

LM--I find that if I put the butter out on the counter in the wrapper a few hours before baking and let it come to room temperature slowly, the dough has a better consistency and the cookies don't spread too much.

Me too! My husband is trying to go gluten free so I made some Gluten free BC cookies for him. He said they were the best cookies I've ever made! (He may have been a little over dramatic, LOL, he's been deprived because I'm not baking gluten cookies anymore). Anyway I tried one (despite the soy) and I couldn't tell any difference between them and regular BC cookie mix. The main trick I have learned is to use really cold butter or put the dough in the fridge as lm suggests. Also, the dough should be crumbly when you put it on the cookie sheet. It will look awful, like you did something wrong, but it will bake up into nice thick cookies.

Really? Did you use real butter and follow the recipe exactly? My whole family loves them and every gluten eater I feed them to goes nuts for them. They are my go to cookies. I wonder why they didnt' turn out.

They have the gluten free Bisquick at my local Vons but it was $6.50 for a tiny box!! YIKES! So I didn't buy it.

      Headaches / Migraines and Hypoglycaemia

      By trents · Posted

      If I may put my two cents in here . . . Coffee (caffeine) is a double-edged sword when it comes to headaches. It can relieve them (that's why caffeine is put in many over the counter pain relievers) but it can also cause them - particularly if you consume coffee/tea/soda often and regularly and then are in a situation where you have to go without it for a longer stretch than you are used to. Those who suffer from migraines may likely be more sensitive to the effects of caffeine or the withdrawal of it I'm thinking. And then there is the potential negative impact caffeine can have on sleep patterns for many people. Disruption of sleep patterns is also a migraine trigger for some. I speak as a migraine sufferer myself.

      Headaches / Migraines and Hypoglycaemia

      By Sarah Grace · Posted

      Hello Knitty Kitty, Many thanks for asking about my progress.  Its mixed....  I've been taking Benfotiamine since November.  I started on 300mg, but I didn't notice any change.  Increased to 900mb in 300mg tablets throughout the day and initially it seemed to be a cure.  But then the Hypoglycaemia and migraines started to return...it's really very difficult for me to control my diet.  I'm still taking the Benfotiamine but I now take the Benfotiamine in the evening and usually about 600mg after my early evening meal.  I'm still very sensitive to carbs and especially alcohol and sugar, which makes any social activity really difficult especially in the evenings and having to avoid all gluten as well....anyway I guess most members of this forum are very familiar with this.   However, I do think the Benfotiamine is very helpful.  I still get significant vertigo (very wobbly at random moments) but I think my brain fog and insomnia have improved.  I'm quite active physically (gardening and dog walking etc), so need carbs for this.  I am a bit of a coffee addict and wonder what impact that might have? Any suggestions that you have that might further improve my diet and management of the hypoglycaemia would be much appreciated, as I definitely have failed to conquer the problem.

      How many people here are aware that there are 9 types of gluten that Celiacs should be aware of?

      Thanks kitty, I needed reminding about thiamine. I ran out of magnesium so stopped taking it and that was ages ago, it definitely helps with my energy levels and general function. I just took some now and I’ll get some more magnesium. Although I don’t really understand the gundry list it does seem to correlate with foods I can/cannot eat, lectins are not all made equal and it seems to be personal which we react to but some are generally more problematic than others, I think he’s based the list on avoiding lectins that people are often reacting to on an igg test. I think it’s fructose I’m reacting to in fruit rather than histamine because I’m fine with coffee, not sure of the quantity of tannins but for me green tea is worse than black and coffee is fine. Interesting about wet beriberi as I nearly died from pneumonia when young so I wonder if it was related. I react differently to the different foods, lectins cause bloating bleeding and severe pain, sugar I feel wiped out but don’t get the bleeding, tea it’s just nausea. I’ve wondered about lectins being sugar binding proteins and my intolerance of sugars but the bleeding does seem to be a specific response to lectin consumption which I think is an autoimmune response because it improves when I take immune modulating mushrooms (reishi and cordyceps). I really do appreciate you being here to help whenever  I log in, than you 🙏

      hey knitty, thanks for the follow up. I did buy the benfotiamine before I saw a couple of the side effects that concerned me esp bracardia. I already have irregular heart beat and have had elevated liver enzymes before. I lowered the count by taking milk thistle in case anyone interested. I realize that many side effects are simply for legal protection but at my age and as a recovering heart patient can not take risk. Anyway, been strictly gluten-free since we last talked. I did add 200 mg of vit b1 in addition to the b complex. Not as much b1 as you suggested because of my conservative nature but at least an attempt. I still have substantial bloating which unfortunately is probably not caused by gluten, as I was hoping that gluten-free would clear it up a bit.  I wish that I could report a major benefit from going gluten-free but I can't. But I never got desperately ill as many have reported here and my poor brother who was completely overcome til diagnosed.  Take care

      Since lectins occur in almost everything, it's pretty unrealistic to avoid them all.  I didn't understand the rationale behind Dr. Gundry's lists either. Many fruits either contain high histamine amounts or are histamine releasers.  Histamine is made by our body, but we can also consume it in foods, because plants and animals make histamine, too.  Histamine is a neurotransmitter, that results in alertness.  That cup of coffee in the morning?  Releases histamine, so we wake up more.  But histamine is released as part of the immune response in Celiac and other illnesses, causing inflammation.   Our body can clear histamine, but if the body can't keep up with the histamine we are making ourselves as well as the histamine we're eating, we can have serious problems, digestive problems, insomnia, depression.  Some fruits can have high levels of fructose, one kind of sugar in fruits.  Some intestinal bacteria can ferment fructose, resulting in gas, bloating, diarrhea.  So, yes, Fructose Malabsorption can occur in Celiac.   Your dont list...Honey, maple syrup, lectins (and their attached carbohydrates), sugar... ....bedridden...These are all carbohydrates, sugars.  We need Thiamine to turn carbohydrates into energy.  Without sufficient thiamine, we can develop Gastrointestinal BeriBeri which has the classic digestive symptoms, nausea, diarrhea, abdominal pain. Tannins in tea and coffee cleave thiamine in two, making it nonfunctional.   Your do list...hazelnuts, pistachios, pressure cooked potatoes, and yogurt, butter, cheese.... These are foods that contain thiamine.  Pressure cooked mashed potatoes have more thiamine than boiled potatoes.  Those nuts are high in thiamine.  Dairy products are a good source of thiamine.   I can't diagnose, I'm not a doctor.  You read these articles and let me know if anything rings a bell with you.  Yes, I see thiamine deficiency everywhere because it is unrecognized by doctors.  I recognize it because I had it. Hiding in Plain Sight: Modern Thiamine Deficiency https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8533683/ Thiamine deficiency disorders: a clinical perspective https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8451766/ Refeeding Syndrome https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK564513/ Refeeding Syndrome (a different article...) https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33232094/
