gluten-free Bisquick

I haven't made waffles, but I have made pancakes several times, and I totally agree. The first time they were very bland. After that I added some flax meal and a little more egg to make them more like Pamela's.

This product has absolutely nothing in common with regular Bisquick. Aside from the flours obviously, regular Bisquick has shortening already in it. The gluten-free kind needs oil added to it. Big difference between shortening and oil.

All you needed to add to regular Bisquick was milk. Now we have to add milk, oil, and egg. They share the same product name, but that's all.

Basically, you're paying for the convenience of not having to mix in zanthan gum.

best regards, lm

Mmmmm, just tried the gluten-free Bisquick for the first time. I made the biscuit recipe on the box. It was heaven. Funny I never cared for Bisquick biscuits back in the day when I could eat gluten. But they so hit the spot tonight. I look forward to doing more with it. Beats the hell out of the other gluten-free baking mixes I've tried.

I was really excited to find this at my local Safeway in my teeny little town. It's $5.19 a box which is outrageous for such a small amount, but I think it's pretty good. So far I've only made pancakes but they are yummy. I also made them with some dehydrated blueberries and a teaspoon of superfine sugar added- tasted like a hybrid between a pancake and a blueberry muffin and was really yummy! I want to try the garlic cheddar biscuits from the website, and I have my eye on a waffle press so I can try waffles.

Just as a side note though, there's a brand called Namaste Foods that makes a really yummy pancake mix and there's more in the bag for about the same price and the ingredients are better- has ground vanilla beans in it. So good. They also make really good cake mixes.

It's definitely in Puget Sound - the Safeway in Newcastle has it. You might try calling around if you really want to find it?

Where is Newcastle? I will keep looking but so far no luck in Edmonds, Lynnwood, Bothell, Mill Creek or Woodinville.

Not sure I could really use it though because I can't have eggs.

It doesn't have eggs in it. You have to add eggs. So, if you have an egg substitute, I guess you could use that.

I do, but... I find that it often doesn't work very well.

      Gluten free stuff

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      The following two lists are very helpful for anyone who is gluten sensitive and needs to avoid gluten when shopping. It's very important to learn to read labels and understand sources of hidden gluten, and to know some general information about product labelling--for example in the USA if wheat is a possible allergen it must be declared on a product's ingredient label like this: Allergens: Wheat.

      Gluten free stuff

      By trents · Posted

      Tammy, in the food industry, "gluten free" doesn't mean the same thing as "no gluten". As Scott explained, the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) allows food companies to use the "gluten-free" label as long as the product does not contain more than 20 ppm (parts per million) of gluten. This number is based on studies the FDA did years ago to determine the reaction threshold for those with celiac disease. And the 20 ppm figure works for the majority of celiacs. There are those who are more sensitive, however, who still react to that amount. There is another, stricter standard known as "Certified Gluten Free" which was developed by a third party organization known as GFCO which requires not more than 10 ppm of gluten. So, when you see "GFCO" or "Certified Gluten Free" labels on food items you know they are manufactured with a stricter standard concerning gluten content. Having said all that, even though you may read the disclaimer on a food item that says the spices may contain wheat, barley or rye (the gluten grains), you should be able to trust that the amount of gluten the spices may contain is so small it allows the total product to meet the requirements of gluten free or certified gluten free labeling. I hope this helps.

      Gluten free stuff

      As soon as I see gluten free I read the labels. I always find stuff that I cannot have on the products them selfs. Like spices, when the labels says  everything listed and then after like say garlic salt then the next thing is spices. When it says that that can contain wheat and other things I can’t have..

      Do some people with Celiacs develop hypoglycemia?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      While hypoglycemia isn't a direct, classic symptom of celiac disease, it's something that some individuals with well-managed celiac disease report, and there may be a few plausible explanations for why the two could be connected. The most common theory involves continued damage to the gut lining or nutrient deficiencies (like chromium or magnesium) that can impair the body's ability to regulate blood sugar effectively, even after gluten is removed. Another possibility is delayed stomach emptying (gastroparesis) or issues with the hormones that manage blood sugar release, like glucagon. Since your doctors are puzzled, it may be worth discussing these specific mechanisms with a gastroenterologist or endocrinologist. You are certainly not alone in experiencing this puzzling complication, and it highlights how celiac disease can have long-term metabolic effects beyond the digestive tract.

      Ibuprofen

      Paracetamol, aka, acetaminophen (Tylenol) just does not do anything for me as far as pain relief. It does help with fevers, though.
