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!

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By trents · Posted

      NCGS does not cause damage to the small bowel villi so, if indeed you were not skimping on gluten when you had the antibody blood testing done, it is likely you have celiac disease.

      I will assume you did the gluten challenge properly and were eating a lot of gluten daily for 6-8 weeks before your test, but if not, that could be the issue. You can still have celiac disease with negative blood test results, although it's not as common:  Clinical and genetic profile of patients with seronegative coeliac disease: the natural history and response to gluten-free diet: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5606118/  Seronegative Celiac Disease - A Challenging Case: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9441776/  Enteropathies with villous atrophy but negative coeliac serology in adults: current issues: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34764141/  Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS.

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By Xravith · Posted

      I'm very confused... My blood test came out negative, I checked all antibodies. I suppose my Total IgA levels are normal (132 mg/dl), so the test should be reliable. Still, I'm not relieved as I can't tolerate even a single biscuit. I need to talk to my doctor about whether a duodenal biopsy is necessary. But it is really possible to have intestinal damage despite having a seronegative results? I have really strong symptoms, and I don't want to keep skipping university lectures or being bedridden at home.

      They may want to also eliminate other possible causes for your symptoms/issues and are doing additional tests.  Here is info about blood tests for celiac disease--if positive an endoscopy where biopsies of your intestinal villi are taken to confirm is the typical follow up.

      New labs are now very elevated

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      In the Europe the new protocol for making a celiac disease diagnosis in children is if their tTg-IgA (tissue transglutaminase IgA) levels are 10 times or above the positive level for celiac disease--and you are above that level. According to the latest research, if the blood test results are at certain high levels that range between 5-10 times the reference range for a positive celiac disease diagnosis, it may not be necessary to confirm the results using an endoscopy/biopsy: Blood Test Alone Can Diagnose Celiac Disease in Most Children and Adults TGA-IgA at or Above Five Times Normal Limit in Kids Indicates Celiac Disease in Nearly All Cases No More Biopsies to Diagnose Celiac Disease in Children! May I ask why you've had so many past tTg-IgA tests done, and many of them seem to have been done 3 times during short time intervals?
