I Made A Huge Mistake!

Last week, I bought a couple of mixes from the Gluten Free pantry because I had heard so many good things about them on here. So I got the sandwich bread mix and the muffin mix. I tried out the bread mix a few days ago, and the whole family LOVED it. Then this morning I tried out the muffin mix and made blueberry muffins w/ struedel on top. They were amazing.

The problem is, I CANT AFFORD THESE MIXES!! And now I want them all the time. I don't want to go back to making things from scratch :( .

So does anyone have a recipe that is equivelant to these mixes????? PLEASE!!! I just cant afford to pay $5 for 1 loaf of bread. But I LOVE the taste.

Well, I haven't tried those, but I might try to approximate the recipe by using logical proportions of the ingredients they have on the package. Also taking note of the color, aroma, etc, while adding things, and attempt to match the original.

What may help is to bake a small amount of the mix like a cookie, for a reference. Then as you tweak your own blend, bake a similar cookie to see how it compares. This might waste some ingredients before you get the blend right, but once it's done you'd have the recipe forever.

I've seen many recipes come up in Google which emulate name brand products, so perhaps someone has already done the work and posted the recipe.

I make up flour mixes in big containers so I don't have to measure out six different kinds of flour each time I bake. That has increased my baking efficiency a lot.

You could try buying them from amazon .com. You have to buy by the case, but the prices are better.

Annalise Roberts' Gluten-Free Baking Classics, IMO, is as good as these recipes. SOme of her recipes are on her website, which I think is www.foodphilosopher.com

      So, you are not IGA deficient and your tTG-IGA is clearly positive, indicating you do have celiac disease. Historically, it has been standard practice to confirm positive blood antibody tests with endoscopy/biopsy. In the past several years, however, there has been a trend to forego the latter if the tTG-IGA antibody test scores were 5-10x normal. Your score...

      Welcome to the forum, @Eric.C! Are you still consuming dairy and oats? It is very common for those with celiac disease to have or to develop additional food intolerances. It could be to almost anything but dairy and oats (even gluten free oats) are the most common offenders because their proteins are similar to gluten. Also, if you are relying...

      Reaction to gluten or gastro bug?

      Hi @Beck1430 You are very welcome. I am looking at your spelling of coeliac disease and see you spell it the English way. If you are British, like me, perhaps you could update us if you are successful in getting genetic testing. It seems more commonplace in the US. I have been a diagnosed coeliac since 2013 I have not yet met anyone with coeliac...

      Welcome to the forum, @Jy11! The way you have posted his blood antibody test results is very confusing. TTg and IgA are not two different tests. These abbreviations should be combined into one expression: TTg-IgA. You seem to have listed the same test twice in 1. and 2. but with different results. Is the way you have posted the results exactly...

It could be to almost anything but dairy and oats (even gluten free oats) are the most common offenders because their proteins are similar to gluten.  Also, if you are relying on a lot of gluten free prepackaged food products you could be reacting to peculiar ingredients that are commonly found in ready made gluten-free foods such as xanthan gum. There are a lot of polysaccharides used in gluten free ready made food products to give them textures similar to conventional wheat products. Polysaccharides can be hard to digest.

      Welcome to the forum, @Jy11! The way you have posted his blood antibody test results is very confusing. TTg and IgA are not two different tests. These abbreviations should be combined into one expression: TTg-IgA. You seem to have listed the same test twice in 1. and 2. but with different results. Is the way you have posted the results exactly as they appear on the printout you were given? I cannot make heads or tales of the data you supply the way you have posted it. But let me say this. At the very minimum, there are two blood tests that should be run when checking for celiac disease: 1. total IGA and 2. tTG-IGA. The total IGA test looks for IGA deficiency. If a person is IGA deficient, then individual IGA tests scores will be artificially low and can result in false negatives. The most popular individual IGA celiac disease test ordered by physicians is the tTG-IGA. The EMA test is an older test that is not often ordered anymore and has largely been replaced by the tTG-IGA. The EMA test is expensive to conduct. However, if the EMA is positive, it is a highly accurate test and strongly suggests that the person does have celiac disease.  To summarize: 1. a physician should always check for IGA deficiency. 2. tTG-IGA test results are expressed in terms of being "normal" or "high" but not "deficient". 3. EMA test results are expressed in terms of being "negative" or "positive".  Here is an overview of celiac disease antibody testing:
