Hey Kim! It's Nisla... (the playdough girl...)

anyway, does this count on internet sales only or if I buy them at Life Grocery too??? Thank you for doing that by the way.

By the way, if anyone hasn't tried Kim's 1-2-3 Gluten Free Southern Glory Biscuit Mix or her Pancake Mix, you absolutely HAVE TO! All of the mixes are excellent, but those two are absolute staples in my house.

:) Thanks for the info..I think it would be absolutely great if all celiacs could help these folks in their effort; to say nothing of the fact that their products are absolutely FABULOUS.

I have been baking gluten-free for many years and I had never successfully made a baking powder biscuit. Mine always turned out like hockey pucks. This really bothered me because my gluten-free hubby always loved biscuits and gravy. I was astounded at this company's biscuit mix. Its fast, easy and they always turn out perfect. We had chicken & noodsles & biscuits the other night and my 8 year old granddaughter made the biscuits. They also freeze great (although ours never last long enough to make it to the freezer). Makes a great egg mcmuffin, chicken a la king, strawberry shortcake, or just warm dripping with butter and honey. etc. etc.

I have also used their pan bars a lot, but I have never tried one of their mixes that weren't great. I plan to stock up to help support their Katrina effort.

Hi Nisla,

I remember you well. Thanks so much for your kind words. It's very gratifying to know that people enjoy our products.

We are donating 10% of our proceeds for all sales during September. Internet sales is the most direct way. But, if you purchase an item at a store, they are more likely to order more to replace and we'll give 10% off that order -- does that make sense?

We've also sent some food to Mississippi to be baked up at a camp being set up for evacuees with autism (and their families) and should anyone contact us for other needs, we'd be pleased to help. It hasn't been easy locating those in need in this terrible disaster. That's why we decided that money to general funds (like Red Cross, Salvation Army) might be more helpful.

We really appreciate your support and supporting our efforts to help those affected by Katrina.

All my best,

Kim.

I will let Life Grocery know, since I think they need to place another order REALLY soon! (I'm craving more biscuits and they are OUT!)

Thanks for doing what you do...

I made "Aaron's Rolls" the other night and my family absolutely devoured them!

I love raving about your product because DANG... it's a GREAT product line!

Thank you so much.

We'll also give them a call to see if they are ready to order.

Thanks again. It's truly been a dream to get this family business up and running and testimonials from people like you has been our best advertising. I truly appreciate it.

Kim.

      Been off this forum for years. Is it that important that you get an official diagnosis of something? It appears like you had a trigger (wheat, gluten, whatever) and removing it has resolved your symptom. I can't speak for you, but I had known what my trigger was (gluten) years before my diagnosis I would just stay gluten-free and get on with my symptom free...

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      No coincidence. Recent revisions to gluten challenge guidelines call for the daily consumption of at least 10g of gluten (about the amount in 4-6 slices of wheat bread) for a minimum of 3 weeks. If possible, I would extend that two weeks to ensure valid testing.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      Thank you both for the replies. I decided to bring back gluten so I can do the blood test. Today is Day #2 of the Challenge. Yesterday I had about 3 slices of whole wheat bread and I woke up with urgent diarrhea this morning. It was orange, sandy and had the distinctive smell that I did not have when I was briefly gluten free. I don't know if it's a...

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      @Jane02, I hear you about the kale and collard greens. I don't do dairy and must eat green leafies, too, to get sufficient calcium. I must be very careful because some calcium supplements are made from ground up crustacean shells. When I was deficient in Vitamin D, I took high doses of Vitamin D to correct the deficiency quickly. This is safe...

I can't speak for you, but I had known what my trigger was (gluten) years before my diagnosis I would just stay gluten-free and get on with my symptom free condition. I was diagnosed over 20 years ago and have been symptom free only excluding wheat, rye and barley. I tolerate all naturally gluten free whole foods including things like beans which actually helps to form the stools.

      @Jane02, I hear you about the kale and collard greens.  I don't do dairy and must eat green leafies, too, to get sufficient calcium.  I must be very careful because some calcium supplements are made from ground up crustacean shells.  When I was deficient in Vitamin D, I took high doses of Vitamin D to correct the deficiency quickly.  This is safe and nontoxic.  Vitamin D level should be above 70 nmol/L.  Lifeguards and indigenous Pacific Islanders typically have levels between 80-100 nmol/L.   Levels lower than this are based on amount needed to prevent disease like rickets and osteomalacia. We need more thiamine when we're physically ill, emotionally and mentally stressed, and if we exercise like an athlete or laborer.  We need more thiamine if we eat a diet high in simple carbohydrates.  For every 500 kcal of carbohydrates, we need 500-1000 mg more of thiamine to process the carbs into energy.  If there's insufficient thiamine the carbs get stored as fat.  Again, recommended levels set for thiamine are based on minimum amounts needed to prevent disease.  This is often not adequate for optimum health, nor sufficient for people with absorption problems such as Celiac disease.  Gluten free processed foods are not enriched with vitamins like their gluten containing counterparts.  Adding a B Complex and additional thiamine improves health for Celiacs.  Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  Thiamine helps the mitochondria in cells to function.  Thiamine interacts with each of the other B vitamins.  They are all water soluble and easily excreted if not needed. Interesting Reading: Clinical trial: B vitamins improve health in patients with coeliac disease living on a gluten-free diet https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19154566/ Safety and effectiveness of vitamin D mega-dose: A systematic review https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34857184/ High dose dietary vitamin D allocates surplus calories to muscle and growth instead of fat via modulation of myostatin and leptin signaling https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38766160/ Safety of High-Dose Vitamin D Supplementation: Secondary Analysis of a Randomized Controlled Trial https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31746327/ Vitamins and Celiac Disease: Beyond Vitamin D https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11857425/ Investigating the therapeutic potential of tryptophan and vitamin A in modulating immune responses in celiac disease: an experimental study https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40178602/ Investigating the Impact of Vitamin A and Amino Acids on Immune Responses in Celiac Disease Patients https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10814138/

      Thank you so much @knitty kitty for this insightful information! I would have never considered fractionated coconut oil to be a potential source of GI upset. I will consider all the info you shared. Very interesting about the Thiamine deficiency.  I've tracked daily averages of my intake in a nutrition software. The only nutrient I can't consistently meet from my diet is vitamin D. Calcium is a hit and miss as I rely on vegetables, dark leafy greens as a major source, for my calcium intake. I'm able to meet it when I either eat or juice a bundle of kale or collard greens daily haha. My thiamine intake is roughly 120% of my needs, although I do recognize that I may not be absorbing all of these nutrients consistently with intermittent unintentional exposures to gluten.  My vitamin A intake is roughly 900% (~6400 mcg/d) of my needs as I eat a lot of sweet potato, although since it's plant-derived vitamin A (beta-carotene) apparently it's not likely to cause toxicity.  Thanks again!
