Anybody Had Problems With Bob's Red Mill All Purpose Gluten Free Baking Mix?

I was wondering if anyone else has gotten sick from this gluten free baking mix. Since I was diagnosed with celiac, my whole household went gluten free but I LOVE to bake and I got this gluten free baking mix by Bob's red Mill a try. Boy, I felt awful... definitely glutened. wondering if I could have developed a sensitivity to something else? or was this flour contaminated? I hate the idea of not being able to bake for my kids... What do I do? Any suggestions? Also, do you guys have any good recipes for some baked gluten free goodies that are also dairy free?

Thank you!

I was wondering if anyone else has gotten sick from this gluten free baking mix.

My daughter and I both can't have it - makes us sick most of the time, yeah. Bob's red mill tests its products at 20ppm of gluten or less. There are other companies that have a lower gluten threshold, however, so if you find out you are more sensitive to gluten, perhaps another baking mix with a lower gluten level might do? Pamela's brand is 5ppm of gluten or less for their baking mix, I believe, although you might want to check that. Glutino and gluten free pantry are 20ppm or less, too, I believe? So if you wanna check if it's the gluten levels, or something else, they might be good to sort of check yourself against, you know?

Also, my daughter and I just discovered we might be sensitive to all oats (some small percentage of celiacs react to gluten-free oats just like wheat, rye, or barley). Bob's red mill's gluten-free facility still processes oats, even if they are gluten-free ones. So if you might react to gluten-free oats, that could be an issue as well.

I never liked the all pourpose flour mix, but I almost only used a lot of their other products. I discovered in Aug. that I can't tolerate any Bob's products because of the cc from the gluten free oats. I knew early on that I couldn't eat certified oats, but never gave the cc from them a thought until 6 months ago. I recently ate some things made from Bob's products from a gluten free bakery and oh boy, did I react bad. So now I know for sure. It's such a learning curve, argh! :P

Good news is that there are other mixes too. Jules and King Arthur are both gluten-free and dairy-free. What are you looking to make? I can get you plenty of recipes. I usually just substitute rice milk or coconut milk for cow's milk, use Bestlife Buttery spread instead of butter, etc. The only thing that hasn't worked out for me using a mix is cornbread. It was more like corn-flavored birthday cake...so weird.

Thank you for this post! I haven't been feeling well and I had just used that mix this past weekend. This might be why!........Here is my favorite cookie recipe if you can have peanut butter, chunky or smooth works. Don't use the refrigerator kind. I buy Smart Balance because it has the omega 3 in it.

1 cup of peanut butter

1/2 cup sugar

1/2 cup brown sugar ( or your can use 1 cup of reg. sugar but I like this combo)

1 eggs ( I use Ener-G egg replacer instead of eggs but either works)

1 tsb. baking soda

Mix, roll into a ball ( I do NOT roll in sugar), Place on cookie sheet ( I spray with PAM), smash down with a fork.

bake at 350 for about 15 min. I like big cookies, this makes about 12 large cookies, I usually double it, this is a single batch. Smaller cookies might take a little less time.

They are our favorite cookie. Gluten free and with no eggs they are Vegan too! Without the flour they have so much peanut butter flavor. I get a lot of requests for these when I am bringing something to a gathering....... Enjoy :)

A basic flour mix is:

1 part brown rice

1 part white rice

1 part starch (I blend tapioca and potato starch)

1/2 t guar gum or 2 T ground flaxseeds

I've substituted it in quite nicely in a few different recipes, mostly if not all recipes that also have eggs in it. You can also substitute other flours for the white rice, like buckwheat or corn flour.

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

      By Alibu · Posted

      I was tested back in 2017 and my TTG-IGA was mildly elevated (an 11 with reference range <4) but my EMA was negative and biopsy was negative. Fast forward to 2 weeks ago where I was like y'know what, I still have so many symptoms and I'm always so sick, I should repeat this, thinking it was not going to be positive.  I also found out through 23 and me that I do have the HLA-DQ2.5 gene so I thought it would be good to repeat given my ongoing symptoms. Well my blood work came back with a ttg-iga level of 152.6 with a reference range of <15 and my EMA was positive and EMA titer was 1:10 with reference range of <1:5. I guess I'm nervous that I'm going to do the biopsy and it's going to be negative again, especially since I also had an endoscopy in 2020, not to look for celiac but just as a regular 5 year thing I do because of all my GI issues, and they didn't see anything then either. I have no idea how long the EMA has been positive but I'm wondering if it's very recent, if the biopsy will show damage and if so, if they'll say well the biopsy is the gold standard so it's not celiac? I of course am doing all the things to convince myself that it isn't real. Do a lot of people go through this? I think because back in 2017 my ttg-iga was elevated but not a huge amount and my EMA was negative and my biopsy was negative, I keep thinking this time it's going to be different. But this time my ttg-iga is 152.6 with reference range <15, and my EMA was positive. BUT, my titer is only 1:10 and I keep reading how most people here had a ttg-iga in the hundreds or thousands, and the EMA titer was much higher. So now I am convinced that it was a false positive and when they do the biopsy it'll be negative.

      Found coffee or coffee pods that contain gluten

      Welcome to the forum, @linnylou73! Are you claiming this based on a reaction or based upon actual testing?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      This varies a lot from person to person. I include foods that are not certified gluten-free but are labelled "gluten-free", while super sensitive people only use certified gluten-free. Both types of products have been found to contain gluten, so there are no guarantees either way: It you are in the super sensitive group, eating a whole foods based diet where you prepare everything is the safest bet, but it's also difficult. Eating out is the the most risky, even if a restaurant has a gluten-free menu. I also include items that are naturally gluten-free, for example refried beans, tuna, pasta sauces, salsas, etc., which have a low overall risk of contamination.
