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.

      oops my gluten challenge was only 12 days It started Jan 21s and ended Feb 1st worst 12 days of my life Does not help that I also started on a thiazide-like drug for rule in/out renal calcium leak at the exact same time No clue if that could have been symptoms worse 🤔

      during the gluten challenge I did not consume any wheat germ   the wheat germ is TOASTED - it's the only way it is sold now afiak doesn't matter I consume vast amounts of lectin containing foods PROPERLY prepared and have for well over a decade. They do not bother me in the least.    no anemia however the endo who ordered the celiac panel is the one who suggested the 2 week gluten challenge of eating at least 2 slices of bread per day or a serving of pasta- ALSO put me on a new drug at the same time (not a good idea)  I ate 4 slices because they were thin, or 2 English muffins, and just once some lasagna that someone else made since I stopped eating wheat pasta years ago. The English muffins caused some of the worst symptoms but that pc of lasagna almost killed me ( not literally but the pain was extreme) during those 12 days there were at least 3 times I considered going to Urgent Care.   This entire process was a waste of time TBH due to being on that new drug at the exact same time. it is impossible to tell if the drug I am taking for the possible renal calcium leak is working or not- given the dramatic response to the gluten challenge and resulting nausea (no vomiting) and eventually a loss of appetite and lower intake of foods so now I have a dangerously low potassium level   I don't have a simple case of celiac or no- I have an extremely complicated case with multiple variables I am seeing an endocrinologist for a problem with the calcium sensing glands - that system is very complicated and she has been unable to give me a firm diagnosis after many tests with confusing and often alarming results. She also appears to be inexperienced and unsure of herself. but I don't have the luxury of finding a new endo due to multiple issues of insurance, lack of drs in my area, money and transportation. so I'm stuck with her At least she hasn't given up    in any case I can assure you that lectins are not and never were the problem. I know they are a favorite villain in some circles to point to, but I have ZERO symptoms from my NORMAL diet which DOES NOT contain gluten. The longer I went without bread or foods with wheat like raisin bran cereal, the better I have felt. my body had been telling me for several years that wheat was the problem- or maybe specifically gluten, that remains to be seen- and stopping eating it was the best thing I could have done   I almost had unnecessary MAJOR SURGERY due to joint pain that I ONLY have if I am eating bread or related products I assumed it was the refined grains - never really suspected gluten but it does not matter I won't put that poison in my body ever again not that it is literally poison but it is def toxic to me

      Welcome to the forum @Known1, What reaction were you expecting? Pipingrock.com High Potency Vitamin D3, 2000 IU, 250 Quick Release Softgels $6.89 I've have been taking the 10,000 IU for close to 10 years. When I started with vitamin D I worked my way up to 10000 over several weeks.  Even at 8000 I felt no noticeable difference.  Then after a few days at 10000 it hit Whoa, sunshine in a bottle.  celiac disease causes malabsorption of dietary D and you've poor UV access.  It took me from 2015 to 2019 to get my 25(OH)D just to 47 ng/ml.  Another two years to get to 80.  70 to 100 ng/ml seems to be the body's natural upper homeostasis  based on lifeguard studies.  Dr. Holick has observed the average lifeguard population usually has a vitamin D 3 level of around 100 ng/ml. Could it be that our normal range is too low given the fact that ¾ or more of the American population is vitamin D deficient? Your Calcium will increase with the vitamin D so don't supplement calcium unless you really need it.  Monitor with PTH  and 25(OH)D tests. Because of your Marsh 3 damage you need to ingest way more than the RDA of any supplement to undo your specific deficiencies. I believe you are in the goiter belt.  Unless you have reason not to, I recommend pipingrock's Liquid Iodine for price and quality.  The RDA is 150 to 1100 mcg.  In Japan the safe upper level is set at 3000 mcg.  Start with one drop 50 mcg to test for adverse response and build up.  I found 600 mcg (12 drops) a day is helping repair my body.  Iodine is necessary to healing.  90% of daily iodine intake is excreted in urine.  A Urine Iodine Concentration (UIC) can tell how much Iodine you got that day.  The thyroid TSH test will not show iodine deficiency unless it is really bad.
