<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU to everyone who responded to my post (which, by the way, I apologize for not giving a subject line) I got 60-70 responses and am afraid i'll never get back to you all individually. I really appreciate all of your messages! My first question was asking opinions on the Gluten Free Pantry, and mail order catalogs in general. The response was overwhelmingly positive! People raved about the GFP products and service, and I feel confident ordering just about anything. The most frequently suggested products were the brownie mix, cookie mix, cake mix, muffin mix, bagel mix and rye and white bread mixes. Several people tried the Angel food cake with good results and many also loved the french bread.Also mentioned more than once were the cornbread, the glutano pretzels and the pancakes. The only remotely negative comments were that the bagels were time consuming to prepare (one person did not like them at all) and a few people were mildly dissapionted with the french bread. All in all, this company got rave reviews and I look forward to placing my first order. Many people also mentioned Authentic Foods as a Great supplier. i spoke to the owner earlier this week and he was very nice and helpful. Also suggested: Really great food company, Miss Robens. My second question was how long it seemed to take people to gain back weight. This really varied depending on the individual, but the majority of people said it took quite a while- months or years. One person has been GF for 9 years and still has not gained back all the lost weight. I feel better knowing that this is totally normal and doesn't mean I'm not responding to the diet. Personally, I am happy with my weight and know that I am healthy based on other tests, but it's so tiresome to hear others constantly say "you just can't be that healthy at 105 lbs." (I'm 5'6") I think weight is totally individual and as long as my hormones are functioning normally and my iron levels are up, I feel fine where I am. Thank you all for the support. And I have been warned by many of you to enjoy it now, as the weight will eventually creep back on! Thank you everyone! Becca Buffum Fairfax, CA
