Re: Have you reacted to Trader Joe's GF Brownie Baking Mix ?

[Guest guest]

Perhaps you're reacting to some ingredient in the mix. Those of us with CD often have other sensitivities.

For the second time I am experiencing a gluten reaction having Trader

Joe's Gluten Free Brownie Baking Mix.

The first 3 batches did not make me very suspicious.

The previous batch and this one have me very wary of this lot Date Code:

020510 UPC: 00919586.

I do not know the date code of the previous lot.

I would not have consumed the product ever again,

however, this was a gift

and I foolishly decided to give it one more chance.

It's possible that you could have an allergy to xanthan gum, it is a binding

agent used in many gluten-free products (including TJ's GF mixes). Guar gum can

be used as an alternative binding agent, but I'm not aware of any pre-made GF

mixes that use guar gum instead of xanthan gum.

Here is an article with more information:
