I am so sad to hear that, I live in Lima Peru, where we don´t have any Gluten or casein free store not even organic, and the only way I keep my baby on the diet was by buying on line Miss Roben´s Products. Can aanybody help me? I need to find a replacement for Miss Roben´s french bread, Ice cream and pancakes, do you know any other mixes? please let me know!

I am desperately looking to find another supplier that has pre-made frozen soft pretzels! Allergygrocer.com had the best ones - and my 4 year old loves them! We just toasted the last one we had - and I'm so sad that I'm going to have to tell him we don't have them anymore to give to him. If anyone knows of where I can find them somewhere else, please let me know!

OH, NO!! I just went online to purchase the Miss Roben's soft pretzel mix for my son and I'm just learning the bad news. We buy the mix in mass quantity since he eats them twice a day, more if I would let him. He needs a gluten free substitute for soft pretzels, any thought?

My son is the little guy who eats the soft pretzels daily. He has celiac disease so he needs to avoid gluten. Thanks!

Unfortunately, Navanfoods doesn't have the animal cookie mix as of 5/21 which was a staple of baking in my house. We're lost without it!

NOTE: Navan Foods has notified us on June 5, 2009, that they have the animal cookie mix, goldfish cracker mix and bagel mix. Just call Navan Foods at 1.866.707.7706 to order.

It's really too bad that Miss Roben's is closed. We'd be happy to support other vendors, but have yet to find anyone with the quality of mixes (especially the chocolate cake mix).

Here is a link to the pretzel recipe I submitted to last year's Pamela's Gluten Free Recipe Contest. It takes a little more effort, but Pamela's bread mix is readily available. (It does have a milk and nut facility warning, though.)

Have you tried The Cravings Place mixes? They are produced in a dedicated gluten free, wheat free, dairy free, egg free, bean free and nut free location, and are free of many common allergens. They are delicious! For my wedding, we made cupcakes with the chocolate cake mix and they were a hit! The pancake mix is a staple in my pantry! Cravings Place mixes are available at Amazon.com and glutenfreemall.com.

I like Arrowhead Mills gluten free pancake mix...all of these comments are totally making me want to try the hot pretzels now that they are no longer available!
