The pre-mixed baking mixes are expensive because they can be (low volume, more stringent controls in the factory). And to be honest, sometimes they are worth it for those of us who simply don't have time (or patience) to bake everything from scratch. If you use enough to buy in bulk, sometimes you can buy direct from the manufacturer on their website. Amazon has Pamela's stuff and most stuff ships for free if you buy more than $25 at a time. Kinnikinnick stuff is generally cheaper on their website than in stores. They have a flat shipping rate of $10.

Individual flours you can get cheaper (but not necessarily guaranteed to be free of cross-contamination) at some Asian grocery stores. They usually have things like various rice flours and sometimes bean flours.

Make your own flour, there are recipes for all-purpose gluten free flour mixes on the Internet. Google for them.

Also keep in mind that eating that stuff is totally optional. One can live on whole foods without starchy grains, sugar and all that stuff. Some say it is, perhaps, even healthy.

I know that international food markets have large bags of rice flour and it is much cheaper. My mom bought me a bag, but I am worried that it could be contaminated so I haven't tried it yet. Anyway, that is an option. Also, a local health store called Healthway gives me a 10% discount if I buy a box (4 bags) of flour. It's still expensive though. I've been trying to limit my baking.

I'm anal I will admit it! But I made a spread sheet of all the products I use and which store has them and for what price! I have to shop at a few stores to get the foods I want anyway!!! I found buying the flours and doing my own mixes is cheaper in the LONG RUN!!! Buying bag after bag of teh premixed flours gets expensive!!!!

I second...most places will give a discount if you buy in bulk or oder off teh internet in bulk!

Good Luck!

      Thanks for sharing, Karen. Certainly a needed reminder what we already knew (and I've posted many times on this forum) but sometimes forget, namely, autoimmune disorders tend to cluster. Where one is found, you can look for others to show up eventually. The thing that is unusual in your son's case is the onset of several of them at such a young age. My sister in law, who is in her early 60's has Crohn's and struggles with constipation so I don't think that is unusual with Crohn's. If nothing else, it's the outcome of not eating much because of the pain. Now that you know what is going on with your son and the Crohn's, we hope he is beginning to improve.

      Hi there. My son is turning 16 this month. He had an endoscopy and biopsy to confirm celiac. He went gluten-free and his pain never got any better. I think it got worse. Months went by. The pain started around 7th grade. He missed a lot of school in 8th grade, and a whole lot in 9th grade. He couldn't go to school in 10th grade. All along the gastroenterologist prescribed Hyoscyamine, didn't help at all. Cyproheptadine, no less pain. Peppermint oil, ginger, Miralax, Senna. Doc said he was constipated, but I couldn't get him to have Miralax daily. Eventually he went on Linzess and no senna or Miralax. Sorry this is long, there will be a point.  We gave his school not just a doctors not...

      Most likely cross-contamination I believe.

      I think it takes different people different amounts of time, but in my own case I had pain,  bloating and loose stools for some time, exacerbated by a lactose intolerance, which eventually went.  I would say the really bad diarrhea got better quite quickly, but the bloating pain carried on for a few months, until I was told to give up lactose for a few weeks.  That helped enormously and once I realised milk and yoghurt was the cause, after a short break I went back to lactose very gradually and felt a lot better.  Now I can tolerate it well. From Coeliac UK "The enzyme lactase is found in the brush border of the small intestine. This is why people with coeliac disease can be deficient in lactase...

      Hello,   The medication in these inhalers can cause a thiamine deficiency if used by someone already low in thiamine.  We don't absorb sufficient amounts of vitamins and minerals due to the inflammation and damage done to our villi in Celiac Disease.  Even a long term strict gluten free diet may not provide sufficient amounts of vitamins and minerals.  There are eight B vitamins that all work together.  Thiamine deficiency often shows up first because our bodies use so much of it and it can't be stored very long. Thiamine deficiency symptoms can appear in as little as three days.  Without thiamine, the other B vitamins may not be able to function properly.   Thiamine is needed to clear lactic...
