Has anybody found the gluten-free Betty Crocker mixes in Canada? Where? Also to those anywhere who buy them, are they more expensive than the regular products? Thanks!

I'm sorry I can't help with your question but I just bought the Betty Crocker mixes tonight and made the banana bread with the yellow cake mix

and the grass hopper bars with the devils food cake mix

which I modified a bit more toward the cake recipe on the box.

Wow! They were so easy to make and very tasty. In addition I can't believe how professional they look. My baked goods never ever turned out looking so good.

I hope you get the mixes in your area soon. I had never made Betty Crocker anything even before going gluten free but after trying the other stuff available to gluten free people over the last few years its nice to have Betty Crocker available. I'll be buying her gluten free stuff all the time now.

We have tried the brownies, the chocolate cake and the Bisquick, however, we had to pack our suitcases up with the product. It is made in Canada, but not sold here. I've written to Betty and begged. Your turn! :D

Hi Rideallways,

I am not sure where you are, I am in the Toronto area. I go to Buffalo and stock up on gluten free things such as the Betty Crocker cake mixes. I have also found the gluten-free Bisquick mix and I buy Chex Cereal all the time. The cereal is much cheaper then buying cereal here. I have not had to pay duty or taxes on groceries, however there are some limits and I suggest that you look at the govt guidelines for this.

Betty Crocker are expensive but save your receipts for the tax credit. I buy 5 or 6 at a time so that I have them on hand and my guests can't tell that there is anything different about the cake.

I hope it works out.

Lisa

You should have someone from the U.S. Ship a few boxers.

I wrote a letter and signed an online petition, and my family lives close to the border (I live 4 hours away) so it is attainable, and I'm sure there's a place to order it online..but I would like the convenience of being able to pick it up at the store, as I'm sure many others would like. Not to mention the expense of shipping/handling can be high, and the cost of gas to drive half an hour (from parent's house) to Fred Meyers or wherever (plus border wait times..) isn't really ideal!

      High blood test numbers - with scales. Any advice?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I agree with @RMJ, you have multiple positive tests so celiac disease is likely.  This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease.

      Newly gluten free… withdrawal?

      By trents · Posted

      One small study found that 50% of celiacs react to the dairy protein "casein" like they do to gluten. It is also common for celiacs to be lactose (the sugar in milk) intolerant, though that often disappears in time as the villi heal. About 10% of celiacs react to the oat protein "avenin" like they do gluten.

      Newly gluten free… withdrawal?

      By K6315 · Posted

      Thank you so much Trents (Scott?)! I have started working with a dietitian and did a deep research dive as soon as I got the diagnosis. I am aware of what you mentioned in the first two paragraphs, and was not aware of anything in the third, so I am grateful for that information, and will talk to the dietitian about that. I think I was most interested in the withdrawal process - it gives me hope that, although I have felt unwell recently, I just need to be patient (not a strong suit). I have printed the article you sent and will look at it more closely. Thanks again!

      Newly gluten free… withdrawal?

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @K6315! Gluten withdrawal typically lasts for a period of a few weeks. But there is a real learning curve involved in actually attaining to a gluten free dietary state. Much more is involved than just cutting out major sources of gluten such as bread and pasta. It's all the places that gluten is hidden in the food supply that is difficult to ferret out, like soy sauce and canned tomato soup, canned chili and canned pork n' beans, some "lite" pancake syrups, potato salad, flavorings, etc., etc. Gluten-containing grain products are hidden through alternate terminology and found in places you would never expect.  There is also "cross contamination" where naturally gluten free foods come into contact with gluten-containing grains during farming, transportation, storage and manufacturing processes. Then there is the issue of "cross reactivity" whereby you may be having gluten-like reaction to food proteins whose structure is similar to gluten. Chief among these are dairy, oats (even gluten-free oats), soy, corn and eggs. I am including this article that you might find helpful:
