I didn't think I could do it.....but I DID!!!!! Yippee! I made the Gluten Free Pantry Bread Mix...and I LOVE it! 
Kandee...thanks for he tips! Next week I'll have to try those muffins that Chrissy recommended!
You guys are the BEST! I was practically in tears....I was SO HUNGRY from not eating enough. That bread is FILLING!
Still learning what is/isn't ok. I'm reading Danna Korn's book Gluten Free and Worry Free I think it's called. It's EXCELLENT. I feel like she wrote it for ME LOL
Thanks again...I love you guys!
With love, Ruchie

Hey - where did you get that recipe? From the site or elsewhere? I have just been given a bread machine but am convinced bread is doing me no good so gluten free would be great - let me know and if I can make it in my bread machine (if not...onto Ebay it goes!!)  xx

Yep! I'd love the recipie too Ruchie! And I know Beth would love it aswell. The GF breads here are terrible  blech. Plus they're full of sugar! I think it might be more so than regular breads. Congratulations btw. On your cooking great bread and dealing with your dinner.

Well done sweety!!!!! I'm so impressed. Once you've mastered your first loaf you've got it made You'll be cooking up GF storms all the time now! The loaf I made was delicious, but a bit more crumbly then the bread mixes I've been using. Lovely toasted tho. The muffins were also DELICIOUS, but next time I'll use less butter, as it didn't really need as much as the recipe said. Once I've made them again I'll email you the new recipe
Camping was a BLAST!! The weather was gorgeous and we pitched our tents right on the beach, watched the sunset over the water, and had baths in the ocean! But I'm feeling a bit sad tonight, because apart from my very good intentions to begin with, food got the better of me once people were handing around potato chips, chocolate, and cheese and crackers all weekend. I did stay GF, raaaayyyy, but I couldn't say no when the easter eggs were being passed around. And despite having an awesome time (we caught heaps of fish, yummm, and spent most our time swimming and snorkelling, so cool) I was so stressed about food that I obsessed about it allllllllllll weekend and overate till my belly was sooooooooooo sore I've decided no more weekends away until I can get ontop of the whole food thing I'm dealing with at the moment. I'm actually thinking of seeing a counceller as I've now accepted that I definately have an eating disorder. I looked at your compulsive eating website, but would like some 1:1 help. Have you ever seen someone professional, and if so has it helped?
I read your post in the IBS diet section, sorry you're feeling so sad at the moment If its any consolation, I understand how tough it is, so my heart really is with you. My friends were marvellous during our trip, one night we were going to make a vege stockpot (using a packet sauce mix), but on finding out I was GF, my friend insisted we make a GF sauce instead. It was really easy to eat GF in the sense that everyone understood, but it was soul destroying watching everyone devour hot x buns, delicious fresh white bread, crackers and cheese, potato chips..... you name it I couldn't have it. Even caramel filled easter eggs were a no no
But I really really enjoyed spending time with friends, and I now have renewed determination to follow my strict diet, find out exactly what foods are causing my grief, and get better. I hated hiding my bloated tummy behind t-shirts, while others frolicked in their bikinis! And I hated feeling so panicky and obsessive about food.
Sorry I've rambled so much, I just had to get a few things off my chest, and I know how well you understand me, its so comforting to have you there. I thought about you alot over the weekend, and I took some photos for you! Will post them soon. I hope together we can beat this thing.
Take care xxxx

I had to eat Gluten Free for a while. I found a very good flour called - Betty's Gourmet Four Blend Flour. It measures exactly the same as regular flour (which is nice) -though you need to add the Xantham Gum. I did not make white bread - but made other breads and they were all very good. Glad to hear you found something you like. Anne

Sounds like a DREAM Chrissy! I hope I get to camping one day...
I do speak to a counselor but it is about my abuse issues. The more I learn to love myself the less I overeat. I was in OA....but I just don't have time for it anymore  I am SOOO busy living my life I don't overeat so much!
I am NOT a doctor. If you would like MHO here it is: People that are abused/o through traumas do NOT ALL turn to addiction. I believe food is at the root of all. What we do/do not put in our bodies effects EVERYTHING. Our emotions, cravings, rain, cognitive abilities, etc. Because of poor eating habits, again in MHO, we have sooo many probs in our socety. We have food APLENTY and we EAT APLENTY as a result. This i NOt the way our bods were meant to be fed.
Sorry to ramble so. But I have to say that almost everyone I came across in OA had a MEDICAL issue. Sleep apnea, diabetes, fibro, IBS, etc. Think they were lacking something in their diet? Or that their diet had too ,muh of someting bad (ie sugar?) In OA they recommend eliminating sugar and white flour from the diet. I think the sugar made them sick (not ALWAYS but def. sometimes if not more0, in the st place.
Take the Twinkie Defense for exaple. Look at all the children with diabetes from too much sugar. Look at the folks in Oa....it just seems to add up.
I am NOT saying you should never have sugar and I am NOT a doctor. This is just my opinion. The meidcal world MESSED ME UP SILLY! Between antibiotics, my misdiagnoses for things, eating tons of sugar in my home, etc...it's amazing I can function properly.
I do NOT recommend using anything as a band aid. Period. i think counseling is EXCELLENT! and I recognize you did NOT mention using an AD. But I wanted to throw this in there because I am not surprised that people with celiac use food (LESS or MORE than needed), for several reasons. If you eat less it is because it HURTS to eat! If you eat more it is because you use the taste/texture to feel better (even tho it hurts in the long run. We grab at straws for comfrot as we are always in pain...and with the overabundance of food it is EASY to use and quite common....we learn it from society at large).
PLEASE do NOT think you are alone or a freak. This is NORMAL behavior. our bodies are soooo confused by what we have given it and denied it for so long. it is NOT our faults!
Please pleae know I am here for you and I have ben where you are and I am still working on things myself. It just hurts me that we suffer the way we do and that there are things we can do to get better.
We WILL do this together!!!!!!
You've helped me sooo much already. I hope I can help you to...
If I said anything offensive, please forgive me. I just needed to get this out I guess. I have been reading for close to THREE years now on IBS, fibro, migraines, celiac, etc. I was anorexic as a kid and compulisve overeater as an adult. it does NOT have to be this way! Life should not revolve around medical issues. And I believe one day things will get better as more and more people learn what they can get from what they eat!
Ok...stepping down now. Thanks for reading!

Make sure you got the dairy free mix. This company originally only had one with dairy in it. I think they now offer a dairy free version, but I don't seem to be able to find it. Is it terribly high in fat? Or did you use some substitutions to make it?
Also, did it require a stand mixer, or just a hand held mixer?
I have found that this companies muffin mixes call for lots of margarine or oil to be added raising the fat grams to 9 or 10 grams per muffin!!
Did you have this problem with the bread mix?
