Betty Crocker Cookie Mix

As a kind gesture, someone gave me a box of the new Betty Crocker Chocolate Chip Cookie Mix. However, I cannot have soy or egg (which the recipe calls for). What could I use to substitue for the egg (possibly applesauce)? Also, the chocolate chips have soy in them. If I pick all the chips out - would I still get the effects from the soy?? It seems like a lot of dang work, but would be worth it to have a warm cookie out of the oven.

You can use egg substitute like Ener-G. Works fine with it. But picking out the chocolate chips won't get rid of the soy if you are truly allergic. It will have gotten all over the dry ingredients.

I think it is GREAT that they are making these. But I am not really a chocolate person. Now don't get me wrong I did get some and had them and they were very good. But I wish they would make the mix with out the chocolate chips then you could put in what ever kind of chips you want. Like butterscotch, :rolleyes::) Oh well cant have every thing I guess.

I have to agree. I wish the chips were not mixed in so there was a choice. I love the gluten free pantry muffin/scone mix. It come plain so you can add anything you dream off. The mix is awesome and they are carrying it in my local grocery stores and walmart, for $2-4. Try it if you haven't the possibilities are endless.

About the eggs here are some options, in baking cookies I normally switch them for bananas or baking powder, Open Original Shared Link. Picking out would not be ok with me, I wouldn't chance it, I do know that grocery stores like Publix, let you return items, unopened, all the time if they do not agree with me or contain gluten that I didn't realize, you might be able to switch it for CherryBrook Kitchen's cookie mix that is soy free, egg free, and gluten free as well!

I also cannot use the BC cookie mix because of additonal allergies. I recently made chocolate chip cookies using Namaste cookie mix, added Enjoy Life chips (allergen free) and they came out spectacular. I used canola oil for the shortening. I might add, the first time I used Namaste cookie mix, the cookies were a disaster. I'm glad I gave the product a second chance. They stayed moist day after day. This will be my preferred "in a hurry" mix from now on.

I made them with egg replacer and they turned out great. . . .the brownies did not. I made cupcakes last night with the cake mix and they were yummie.

I've made the brownies many times with egg replacer. They did not come out so well with margarine but they did with coconut oil. Even people who don't need to eat gluten-free liked them.

      Supplements for those Diagnosed with Celiac Disease

      By lmemsm · Posted

      Thank you for mentioning that.  My main reaction to gluten seems to be related to the skin and breaking out.  So, I'll definitely take that under consideration when trying to figure out how to better supplement calcium.  I'm trying to use lower oxalate and lower histamine greens like broccoli, baby bok choi, collards and Lacinto kale.  Recently, I've been getting migraine reactions to spinach, possibly from the histamine.  I do use Malabar spinach (not related to spinach) but only a leaf or two in foods and I don't think it has a high calcium content.  I should check into longevity spinach and Moringa again.  Some gardeners in our area grow them.

      Supplements for those Diagnosed with Celiac Disease

      I tried algae based calcium supplements, but because I have Dermatitis Herpetiformis I broke out with dermatitis herpetiformis blisters.  Do be careful.  Iodine, whether in iodized salt or seaweed or some types of fish, can stimulate dermatitis herpetiformis. I stick to cruciferous veggies (broccoli, kale and other green leafy veggies), but I avoid spinach.  Many people have problems with oxalate formation (kidney stones) with spinach and calcium supplements.   Do remember to take Vitamin D and Vitamin C with Calcium.  Talk to your doctor and dietitian about supplementing with Vitamin A and Vitamin K, and Boron and Magnesium as these vitamins and trace minerals are important to bone formation as well.

      Since you moved away from dairy, it's definitely a challenge to get enough calcium, and your point about its proper absorption is crucial—it's not just about intake, but also making sure it goes to the right places. Since you prefer food-based sources when possible, you could first focus on incorporating more non-dairy, calcium-rich foods like fortified plant milks or juices, canned sardines or salmon with bones, tofu made with calcium sulfate, dark leafy greens like kale and collard greens, and almonds. If you still feel you need a supplement, your research on algae-based calcium is spot-on; it's often praised for its bioavailability and balance with other trace minerals, which may help with proper absorption. While the cost is higher, you might find it's worth it as a targeted solution, potentially taken every other day or a few times a week alongside your dietary efforts, rather than a full daily dose. It's great that you're already so mindful of your nutrient sources with the Brazil nuts and seaweed—this holistic approach is the best way to build a solid nutritional foundation.

      Yep,yep,yep, called it from experience.  I've lived through SIBO and Candida myself.  I get a different sorts of reactions to dairy, high sugar consumption, and gluten.  I react to Casein, the protein in dairy.   Try the AIP diet.  Dr. Sarah Ballantyne designed it and is a Celiac herself.  Her book, the Paleo Approach, has been most helpful.
