Thank you for posting this! It's good to know I can buy regular frosting now, instead of going through the hassle of making it! :D

Not to be a PITA but did you ask about barley malt in flavorings? The reason I ask is because she mentioned the top allergens and since barley malt is not considered an allergen. I would love it if they are gluten free as I really hate to make frosting.

No I did not ask specifically about malt.

I will grab a can tommorrow since I want to make chocolate cupcakes and give them a call. It likely is a safe product but I am so sensitive that I like to be sure.

Can I offer up my uber-easy chocolate frosting that is out of this world amazing (plus it doesn't have all the crap that canned frosting has in it):

2 c cream-heavy or whipping

2 c chocolate chips--you can use milk, semi-sweet, dark-whatever (white doesn't work as well)

microwave cream just until it starts to boil, dump in chocolate chips and let sit for 2 minutes. Whisk well and either dump over your cake (and serve warm-OMG delish) or put in fridge. Keeps for 2 weeks or so. If you refrigerate, you can just soften it up by popping it back in the microwave for a bit.

That sounds so good and so easy, thank you!!!! My Mom used to make frosting with just powdered sugar milk and vanilla but I can never get it to come out as good as hers did.

Thanks for posting this info. Pete.

I've been using the Duncan Hines Classic Chocolate and am grateful for an easy/tasty alternative for when I can't make my own homemade frosting. I tried one of the dedicated gluten gluten-free frostings and it was terrible.

Raven, let us know what they say about barley malt. My daughter is quite sensitive to CC and so far has not reacted to Duncan Hines at all, so I trust it. Of course, we must always re-read labels regularly for changes.

      I'm pretty sure that in stores, you can find plenty of gluten-free options. But they are usually a bit more expensive.

      Hello @BunnyBrown and welcome to the forum. I cannot say that I have had the procedure you describe, but recently I did have general surgery and was routinely intubated.  That pain was what troubled me most after the operation, far more than the operation site.  It took a few days to really settle down, I was quite badly bruised. It was taking so long I was a bit concerned so asked the question on another forum. A few patients came back to me and said they had suffered the same.  I imagine in my own case possibly the throat got bashed about a bit,  maybe they had difficult inserting the tube?  I've suffered with a painful throat post-endoscopy too, but never as long as the intubation pain.   I hope you will be feeling better very soon.   PS BTW - love the name!  I saw this today in an Easter display in a shop and your name reminded me of it.🙂

      This wonderful, Anne. I think you have a point about why people disappear off forums.  I found the first few years post diagnosis a real struggle and frankly wondered if I would ever feel better (not to dishearten people, but just to say it can take a while longer for some folk to heal).  However, once my antibodies were back within normal range it really has made a big difference to my health.  I've chosen to stick around because I'm a Mod, otherwise I might have been one of those that disappeared, too!
