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.

      Waiting on biopsy after positive bloodwork, but also not really believing this is real

      By Alibu · Posted

      @knitty kitty Thank you for your response!!  So do you think my doctor might still diagnose celiac even with the negative biopsy?  At this point I'm just wondering like do I have to be super careful when I eat places for cross-contamination, or do I just have to eat gluten free and not worry about the damage so much as the symptoms, you know?  Like with celiac I know my body is attacking itself and doing damage (although apparently not haha) and with an intolerance it certainly doesn't feel good, but it's not doing the same kind of damage, you know? I sent a message to the doctor asking if I should do a video capsule endoscopy or if we should have a second opinion on the pathology but ugh, I just want a clear answer so whatever it is, I can move forward!!

      Newly Diagnosed

      Welcome to the forum, @Gary Libby! Have you talked to your doctors and nutritionist about checking for nutritional deficiencies and supplementing with vitamins and minerals while you're healing?   Malabsorption caused by the inflammation and damage of celiac disease can deplete our stored vitamins, making us feel poorly the majority of the time.  The B vitamins are needed to digest our food and turn it into energy for our body to function.  If we're not able to absorb nutrients from food, taking a B Complex vitamin supplement can help immensely.  Do get checked for deficiencies before starting supplements.  Ask for an Erythrocyte Transketolace test.   Consider folliwing the Autoimmune Protocol diet to help your intestines heal.  Benfotiamine, a form of thiamine Vitamin B1, has been scientifically shown to promote intestinal healing.   Hope this helps and you feel better soon!  Keep us posted on your progress.

      Probably celiac but also confused

      @terrymouse, I agree that you may be suffering from nutritional deficiencies already.  Get tested for nutritional deficiencies before supplementing, otherwise the vitamins you're taking can mask a deficiency.   Symptoms that you have are similar to what I experienced with malabsorption of Celiac Disease.  I would lose my appetite; if I did eat, I got full quickly, and had nausea, dizziness, trouble digesting fats, abdominal pain, and heart palpitations.  I had unintentional weight loss.  I also had my gallbladder removed.  I was deficient in the essential nutrients, especially Thiamine and the other B vitamins. Ask for an Erythrocyte Transketolace test.  Thiamine deficiency symptoms may appear first because our body can't store it for more than three weeks and our metabolic needs for Thiamine increase when we're physically sick or emotionally stressed, so we can become depleted quickly.  Thiamine deficiency symptoms include gallbladder problems and all the ones list above.  Thiamine and the other B vitamins are needed to digest our food and turn it into energy for our body to function.  Gastrointestinal Beriberi is frequently overlooked by doctors.   Ask for a DNA test to check for any known genes for Celiac Disease.  You have to have at least one gene for celiac disease to develop.  You don't have to be eating gluten for a DNA test.  Your genes don't change.  If you don't have any celiac disease genes, you can focus on other reasons for your illness.  If you do have celiac disease genes, with your positive blood test results, you, your doctors and nutritionist can focus on correcting nutritional deficiencies which will help you heal and feel better.

      @Alibu, There may not be textbook intestinal damage in the early stage of Celiac Disease!!! Keep in mind that the endoscope used can only reach about a foot past the stomach, while the small intestines are twenty-two feet long!  Damage can be patchy or out of reach of the scope.  Early celiac disease may not show damage at all. Don't compare your tTg IgA numbers with others.  Every lab uses their own range values.  Tests from different labs are not using the same scale and shouldn't be compared with other people's numbers from a different lab.   You've got the Celiac genes and the positive antibody test and the EMA test.  Next step is a Gluten Free diet trial and look for improvement.  Celiac Disease can be diagnosed using genetic testing and response to a gluten free diet!  I'm seronegative, but DQ 2.5.  My doctors were clueless.  They didn't see any classic textbook damage, so didn't bother to biopsy.  Ack!    This study followed people who showed no or little damage at first....they accrued more damage.

      Gluten-Free Drinks

      By JulieB11 · Posted

      I was introduced to a new-to-me alcoholic beverage yesterday, a grapefruit radler. The bartender said it was sugar- and gluten-free and I trusted him. After I ordered a second drink, I had the good sense to look it up: it’s half beer! Usually wheat beer. BUT it gave me no symptoms—no bloating, fatigue, stool issues. Anyone else have this experience?
