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

sooooo frustrating...

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.

      Outgrow celiac?

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Testing can't alone be trusted.  Else why would it take so many years of testing and retesting and misdiagnosis to finally be told, yes you have Celiac Disease. As to what to eat, I like pre 1950 style food.  Before the advent of TV dinners.  Fresh food is better for you, and cooking from scratch is cheaper.  Watch Rachel Ray's 30 Minute Meals for how to cook.  Keep in mind that she is not gluten free, but her techniques are awesome.  Just use something else instead of wheat, barley, rye. Dr Fuhrman is a ex cardiologist.  His book Eat to Live and Dr Davis' book Wheatbelly were instrumental in my survival.

      Celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis has taken Me from Me

      If you have DH you will likely also want to avoid iodine, which is common in seafoods and dairy products, as it can exacerbate symptoms in some people. This article may also be helpful as it offers various ways to relieve the itch--thanks for the tip about Dupixent, and I've added it to the article:

      I just want to clarify that what I posted is a category of research summaries we've done over the years, and nearly each one shows that there is definitely a connection to celiac disease and migraine headaches. The latest study said: "the study did indicate some potential causal associations between celiac disease and migraine with or without aura, as well as between migraine without aura and ulcerative colitis...this study did not find evidence of a shared genetic basis..." Anyway, there is definitely a connection, and you can go through more of the articles here if you're interested: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/celiac-disease-amp-related-diseases-and-disorders/migraine-headaches-and-celiac-disease/

      Celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis has taken Me from Me

      By SusanJ · Posted

      Two months ago, I started taking Dupixent for dermatitis herpetiformis and it has completely cleared it up. I can't believe it! I have had a terrible painful, intensely itchy rash for over a year despite going fully gluten-free. See if your doctor will prescribe Dupixent. It can be expensive but I am getting it free. When the dermatitis herpetiformis was bad I could not do anything. I just lay in bed covered in ice packs to ease the pain/itching and using way too Clobetasol. Dapsone is also very good for dermatitis herpetiformis (and it is generic). It helped me and the results were immediate but it gave me severe anemia so the Dupixent is better for me. Not sure if it works for everyone. I cannot help with the cause of your stress but from experience I am sure the severe stress is making the celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis worse. Very difficult for you with having children to care for and you being so sick. Would this man be willing to see a family therapist with you? He may be angry at you or imagine that your illness is a psychosomatic excuse not to take care of him. A therapist might help even if he won't go with you. Also do you have any family that you could move in with (with the kids) for a short time to get away? A break may be good for you both.

      @tiffanygosci, Thiamine deficiency is a thing in pregnancy for "normal" people, so it's exponentially more important for those with celiac disease and malabsorption issues. I studied nutrition before earning a degree in Microbiology because I was curious what the vitamins were doing inside the body.  See my blog.  Click on my name to go to my page, scroll to drop down menu "activities" and select blog.   So glad you're motivated to see the dietician!  We're always happy to help with questions.  Keep us posted on your progress!
