Expensive diet and more questions

[Guest guest]

I am so sorry for bothering you guys too much. In the

past 2 days I have spent over $120 on flours, mixes,

cereals, vitamins etc, just for this diet. I am shell

shocked and still confused. My mother picked up a

book for me called " More from the Gluten Free Gourmet "

and it looks good for some breads and stuff (no banana

bread recipe which my kids love), but I found the

Chocolate Truffle Brownie mix that someone mentioned

and a French Bread mix and some other stuff. I cant

find Vance's DariFree anywhere except Miss Robens so I

order one container to try. When you add in shipping

even that gets expensive too. ANyway I also picked up

a box of the Yummie Bears that I saw mentioned and the

Animal Parade daily Calcium supplement that were on

the list. I also found a few products that I am not

sure about and I cant find a phone number on the

product to check:

1. Speakeasy Natural gum - tangerine flavored (Natural

Chicle Gum Base (from rainforest trees), evaporated

cane juice, Rice syrup, Filtered Water, Natural

tangerine flavor oil (no propylene glycol), tangerine

extract, annato

2). L'il Critter Gummy Vites dietary supplement - we

already had these at home before GFCF diet (Vit A as

vitamin A palmitate, Vitamin C as Asorbic acid,

Calcium as calcium lactate, Vitamin D as

cholecalciferol, Vitamin E as d-alpha tocopheryl

acetate, Vitamin B-6 as pyridoxine HCL, Vitamin B-12

as cyanocobalamin, Biotin, Folic Acid, Pantothenic

Acid as d-calcium pantothenate, Iodine as potassioum

iodide, Magnesium as magnesium gluconate, Zinc as zinc

citrate, Choline as choline biartrate, Inositol,

sugar, sodium, Glucose syrup, sucrose, gelatin, citric

acid, lactic acid, natural colors added (carmine,

annatto, grape skin liquid), natural flavors,

fractionated coconut oil, and beeswax to prevent

sticking. It says no artificial stuff, but doesnt say

if it is gluten or casein free. Any one heard of

these?

3). Soy Shake (vanilla almond flavor)from

Fresh Inc. - my 2 yr old who wont touch soy

or rice milk tasted this and said yummmy. It says

always from fruit, never from concentrate, no

preservatives. Ingredients: soymilk (water and

soymilk powder), banana, evaporated cane juice,

vanilla extract, almond extract, vitamins and minerals

(d-calcium phosphate, magnesium oxide, asorbic acid,

d-alpha tocopherol acid succinate, niacinamide, iron

(reduced), beta carotene, zinc oxide, d-calcium

pantothenate, pyridoxine hcl, copper gluconate,

riboflavin, thiamin mononitrate, folic acid, biotin,

cholecalceferol, cyanocobalamin.

I am just overwhelmed at the price and scared to death

of making bread. I ordered xanthum gum and

wunderbread mix last night from Miss Robens and I also

picked up some arrowhead mills all purpose flour.

What do you use for yeast? any other tips would be

great.
