I just moved to Canada and want to know if Betty Crocker gluten-free mixes are available here. I've looked in one store (the Superstore) and couldn't find them but they have other Betty Crocker stuff. Anyone have any idea? I'm in London, ON specifically, thanks for your help.

As far as I know, they are only available in the US at this time.

They are not available in Canada yet. I emailed Betty Crocker a couple of months ago and they did not indicate they had any plans to bring their gluten-free products here although they said they would take note of my interest and pass it on. I suggest everyone who is interested in getting their products in Canada email them to let them know.

I currently get friends/family to buy their stuff when they go over the border.

Btw, I'm also in London, Ontario so I have a good knowledge of where to go for the good stuff around here. Let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks everyone. I don't mind making stuff from scratch and would rather do that than pay $6 for a gluten-free package of cake or brownie mix, but it's nice to grab a box now and then for whatever special something that comes up last minute and I had preferred the Betty Crocker mixes to most of the gluten-free brands. However, I do have plenty of pretty good recipes that I'll use and try to remember a box or two the next time I go over the border.

Other things to consider buying when in the US:

CHEX cereals. All but Wheat Chex are now gluten-free and have been for more than a year. They are not sold in Canada.

Lea & Perrins Worcestershire Sauce. The one sold in the US is gluten-free, and even says so on the label. In Canada, it is made under license by E.D.Smith, and the first ingredient is "Malt Vinegar from Barley." Not gluten-free! :(

I enjoy the Betty Crocker Gluten Free Brownie Mix and Chocolate Chip Cookie mix too. I've not been able to find it locally here, but usually buy it from www.allergyfreegrocerystore.com online. Does anyone know of store in Dallas that carry it? I typically pay $4.95 a box online and am wondering if I can get it cheaper locally. Thanks!

      Ibuprofen

      For back pain, I take a combination of Cobalamine B12, Pyridoxine B 6, and Thiamine B 1 (in the form Benfotiamine), which have an analgesic effect.  These three B vitamins together work way better than those over the counter pain relievers.  Theses are water soluble B vitamins that are easily excreted via the kidneys if not needed.  Thiamine will also help the nausea.

      @stephaniekl, welcome to the forum, Is your daughter taking any nutritional supplements?   Weight loss and failure to thrive are two symptoms of thiamine insufficiency.  Thiamine deficiency symptoms are not recognized as such by doctors.   I experienced similar symptoms when I became malnourished.  Thiamine deficiency symptoms can become worse quickly, and can affect one emotionally and mentally.  Although blood tests for thiamine aren't accurate, do have your daughter checked for nutritional deficiencies.  Thiamine B 1 works with the other B vitamins and magnesium.  Thiamine and Niacin B 3 help improve Gerd.  All the B vitamins are frequently low due to malabsorption.  Vitamin D will help calm the immune system.  Thiamine helps the immune system fight off viruses like those tick borne illnesses.   Thiamine Mononitrate, which is in many vitamin supplements, is not bioavailable.  I was taking a multivitamin containing thiamine mononitrate and still became deficient in thiamine. Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine has been shown to promote intestinal healing.  A form called TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) is also excellent for correcting thiamine deficiency.  A combination of Thiamine, Cobalamine B12, and Pyridoxine B 6 has analgesic properties.  I take it for back pain.   Keep us posted on your progress!

      Has prednisone or some other systemic steroid been tried that might quiet her immune system down for a while? I have two acquaintances with Lyme's disease. It is a wicked condition that has long fingers.

      We have.  She is so limited as to what she can eat.  She has a nutritionist, but they are even at a loss.  Right now, her pain is so significant that she can only eat 5-10 bites a meal.   We just got some labs back today and she is hypoglycemia, anemic and her immune system is shot.  She also is positive for 3 tickborne illnesses.  Thanks for your help!

      A much better suggestion than that of the new doctor!
