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.

      FDA Moves to Improve Gluten Labeling—What It Means for People With Celiac Disease

      My question I have proposed to the FDA through their website is why Prescription and OTC drug manufacturers are not required to list what binding ingredients were used to bine the drug? They list this on Capsules which are made of cellulose but not on pills? As it stands I or my pharmacist must contact the manufacturer to find out and my list is long from...

      i take b12, folate, b2, b6, glycine, Nac, zinc, vk2 mk4, magnesium, coq10, pqq, tmg, creatine, omega 3, molybdnem (sp) and just started vit d. quite a list i know.  I have high homocysteine (last checked it was 19, but is always high and i finally decided to do something about it) and very low vitamin d, 10. have been opposed to this supp in the past, but going to try it at 5k units a day. having a pth test on friday, which is suspect will be high. my homocysteine has come down to around 9 with 3 weeks of these supplements and expect it to go down further. i also started on estrogen/progesterone. I have osteoporosis too, so that is why the hormones.  anyway, i think all celiacs should have homocysteine checked and treated if needed (easy enough with b vit, tmg). homocysteine very bad thing to be high for a whole host of reasons. all the bad ones, heart attack , stroke, alzi, cancer..... one of the most annoying things about celiacs (and there are so many!) is the weight gain. i guess i stayed thin all those years being undiagnosed because i was under absorbing everything including calories. going gluten-free and the weight gain has been terrible, 30#, but i'm sure a lot more went into that (hip replacement - and years of hip pain leading to inactivity when i was previously very active, probably all related to celiacs, menopause) yada yada. i seemed to lose appetite control, like there was low glp, or leptin or whatever all those hormones are that tell you that you are full and to stop eating. my appetite is immense and i'm never full. i guess decades or more ( i think i have had celiacs since at least my teens - was hospitalized for abdominal pain and diarrhea for which spastic colon was eventually diagnosed and had many episodes of diarrhea/abdominal pain through my 20's. but that symptom seemed to go away and i related it to dairy much more so than gluten. Also my growth was stunted, i'm the only shorty in my family. anyway, decades of malabsorption and maldigestion led to constant hunger, at least thats my theory. then when i started absorbing normally, wham!! FAT!!!

      You may also need to supplement with B12 as this vitamin is also involved in iron assimilation and is often deficient in long-term undiagnosed celiac disease.
