Hello again. I wonderong if anyone has tried the store-bought brownies in the gluten-free freezer section. They are by a brand with a really long name and it starts with a K.

If so are they any good?

Sorry I am not at home right now to ge the full name of the product.

Umm...I've tried Food By George brownies, but they're terribly expensive and not as good as the ones made with a gluten-free mix so I don't eat those much.

Do you mean Kinnikinick? (do they make brownies?)

sdore Enthusiast

Yes! That's the brand!

I saw them over the wekend at my local grocery store. They were already in a paper-like pan, but had no instructions on how to make. I guess you just defrost them like everything else.

I was tempted o buy them, but they were very expensive. I would hate to wast money if they didn't taste good.

What you can do is buy them and taste it then return it if you don't like it. Companies around here will do that. We got apple muffins that were gluten-free and tasted them and they were horrible so they took them back :D

I just tried Ener-G Foods brownies yesterday. If you like cooky crisp on the outside, chewy-on-the-inside brownies, don't bother with Ener-G's version. :angry: If you like brownies which taste like heavy chocolate cake, you'll love these. <_< The package even suggests splitting the brownie chunk into 2 horizonal layers and frosting them like a cake. :blink: After tasting Ener-G's Brownies I gave the rest to my nonceliac (garbage disposal) husband and made Almond Chocolate Chip Quinoa cookies for myself. :lol:

What? :huh: Do you mean that the healthfood store will do that or the manufacturer?

About that--be careful because some companies will and some won't do this. I know that the Gluten Free Pantry does not have such a return policy and Miss Robens does...

The health food store...not the manufacturer

of course be careful with it...they have never had a problem with it where we go

      I’d say celiac is likely.  Please continue to eat plenty of gluten until your endoscopy to be sure that any gluten-related damage can be seen.  Plus it gives you one last chance to enjoy your favorite gluten-containing foods. I hope the endoscopy/biopsies give you a definitive answer.

      I do also have the bloating, gas, constipation, hair loss, an auto-splenectomy that no one can see any reason for and some elevated liver enzymes that don't seem to have a cause, I also have joint pain and some spinal compression fractures that have no explanation.  I am only 42 so haven't had a bone density test yet.  My calcium was normal, but my D was a little low.  They haven't checked for any other vitamin deficiencies yet.  My blood test for an autoimmue disorder was quite high but my Thyroid was all normal.

      Hi, I have been having a lot of back pain and gut issues for 8 weeks or so.  I saw the GI on Monday and my results just came in from the lab.  Some of these number are high and off the little chart from the lab.  I am reading this correctly that I most likely have Celiac, right???  It would explain a lot of things for me.  She does have me scheduled for a colonoscopy and endoscopy in  2 weeks to do the biopsy.  I posted this prior, but forgot to put the range assuming they were all the same.  Someone advised me to repost with the ranges for some insight in the meantime. Immunoglobulin A, Qn, Serum 140 (normal) - Normal is 87-352 Deamidated Gliadin Abs, IgA 256 (High) - Moderate to strong positive at or above 30 Deamidated Gliadin Abs, IgG 65 (High) - Moderate to strong positive at or above 30 t-Transglutaminase (tTG) IgA 31 (High) - Moderate to strong positive above 10 t-Transglutaminase (tTG) IgG 10 (High) - Positive is at or above 10

      Usually, the blood testing is done first and the endoscopy/biopsy follows for confirmation if there are positive antibody test scores. Historically, the endoscopy with biopsy has been considered to be the gold standard for diagnosing celiac disease. If the tTG-IGA scores are very high (5x-10x normal), some doctors will forego the endoscpoy/biopsy and grant a celiac disease diagnosis without it. So, if you are starting with the endoscopy/biopsy that may be all you need to arrive at a diagnosis. Another possibility would be for the GI doc to do a blood draw for antibody testing on the same day you come in for the endoscopy/biopsy.
