NEW CASEIN FREE and gluten-free Bakery! Organic and free trade to boot, so totally guiltless and indulgent and safe!

Just had some of the brownies and they are to die for! Wonder if we can wrangle a cook book out of them at some point? You can order online!

Go here for the website, hope this doesn't count as inappropriate advertising! But man are these brownies good!

Has anyone else tried them? I am going to find out more about them, but the area code is central Pennsylvania.

Hello,

I am the owner of Molasses Bakery and I would like to respond to the question about our prices. The cost of our cookies and brownies comes from the use of premium, organic ingredients.

Someone asked if I thought I could produce the same desserts using cheaper ingredients and I told them no way. If you've ever tasted organic walnuts vs. the conventional baking walnuts, there is no contest. Organic brown sugar is in a different league than the standard processed brown sugar. "Standard" brown sugar is really just white table sugar with molasses added back into it, as opposed to the rich, sticky molasses sugar that results from minimal processing of real, organic brown sugar.

These desserts are gourmet and should be compared more with what you might order after a nice dinner out than what you would buy in a box at the grocery store. I know my husband and sister in law, who are both celiac, were desperately missing that experience of ordering something truly rich and delicious from an upscale bakery or nice restaurant until I began producing these desserts. For many celiacs in much of the country, if you want an amazing dessert you have to make it yourself or you're out of luck. I was very excited to put something out there for celiacs when they need more than just a sugar fix, when they need something truly delicious.

Hope this sheds some light on why we price our cookies and brownies this way.

Hi, Sarah, and thank you for the explanation. It does make sense. However, when it comes to choosing between a plate of brownies and half :o a tank of gas in order to get to work or get the kids to school, I'm afraid the gas wins every time.

      Autoimmune Reaction to SO many foods

      Hi Trent! Thanks so much for your warm welcome and questions! They do, but these symptoms have been ongoing for a long time before the pregnancy. However, it's hard for me to know what's a celiac response vs. a Hashimotos one. I haven't, maybe it's worth getting those checked again?

      Welcome to the forum, @Maura Gissen! Don't those same symptoms often come along with the territory when pregnant? And then throw in Hashimoto's. Have you had your celiac antibody levels checked recently?

However, I was unable to do the full reintroduction process because I went off the AIP diet when I got pregnant and was experiences chronic nausea." CBC = Complete Blood Count. This is the typical bloodwork most people would have done routinely with an annual wellness checkup. I would include things like iron levels, various blood cell counts including reds and whites and other infection fighters. CMP = Complete Metabolic Panel. This would measure things like blood sugar, kidney and liver function, plasma proteins and various enzymes. Non cellular things that the body produces. Also typical of an annual wellness check. Have you tried cutting out dairy and oats? These two are the most common cross reactors in the celiac community. I know it must be tough trying to get adequate calories and nutrition when you are pregnant while at the same time eliminating foods that are good sources of those things.

      They did. I was doing a lot better on the AIP diet. However, I was unable to do the full reintroduction process because I went off the AIP diet when I got pregnant and was experiences chronic nausea. This is what makes me believe it's food related.  I do check all of my food products and supplements and I am very careful about them being gluten free and trying to stay away from corn starch etc. However, I am eating gluten free breads that sometimes have rice flour, yeast, etc. - I seem to do fine with these breads/bread products some days, but then am sick other days.  I have never really had any GI symptoms outside of bloating. My symptoms are dizziness, brain fog, and a general feeling of unwellness or malaise, sort of like when you're going to get the flu.  I have had a lot of bloodwork done over the last three years, but I don't recall doing the CBC, CMP, or a celiac-specific test recently. That's helpful so that could at least provide some insight to see if I'm still being exposed.  Do you see most individual with celiacs having to take a period of time away from even gluten free breads and other cross-reactive foods to let their guts heal? I'm not sure how restrictive to get with my diet again since it's so challenging.

      Did the symptoms commence after you discontinued the AIP diet? Have you checked all nutritional supplements and oral hygiene products for possible gluten content? Have you recently checked all the labels of purchased processed foods in your pantry to check for formulation changes that might have introduced gluten? Historically, when "glutened" did you have GI symptoms or were you a "silent" celiac whose symptoms were non GI. Is what you are experiencing now like what you were experiencing at the time of diagnosis? Have you had recent blood work done (CBC and CMP) and if so, were there any parameters out of norm? I know you have Hashimoto's but you say that is well controlled now? It certainly wouldn't hurt to get celiac antibodies rechecked. Because you are essentially gluten free I would not expect to see any big departures from normal levels but if there are even weak positives it could indicate you are getting glutened from some unexpected source.
