    I am looking for a good chocolate cake recipe and would like to try Beverly Messner's Heavenly Chocolate Cake. But, I'm confused. The recipe calls for "100% corn flour (cornstarch)". In my understanding corn flour and cornstarch are two different ingredients and I would expect different results. Which am I to use, corn flour or cornstarch?

    In my opinion, they are both the same. The corn starch wording is used buy the oriental language, whereas we say corn flour. I hope this will help

    Scott Adams was diagnosed with celiac disease in 1994, and, due to the nearly total lack of information available at that time, was forced to become an expert on the disease in order to recover. In 1995 he launched the site that later became Celiac.com to help as many people as possible with celiac disease get diagnosed so they can begin to live happy, healthy gluten-free lives.  He is co-author of the book Cereal Killers, and founder and publisher of the (formerly paper) newsletter Journal of Gluten Sensitivity. In 1998 he founded The Gluten-Free Mall which he sold in 2014. Celiac.com does not sell any products, and is 100% advertiser supported.

    1-½ cups white sugar
    1 teaspoon vanilla
    1 egg
    2 cups gluten-free flour mix (e.g., B. Hagmans)

    1 teaspoon baking soda
    1 cup milk
    2 cups chopped rhubarb
    Topping:
    ½ cup brown sugar
    ½ teaspoon cinnamon
    Mix margarine and sugar together; beat in egg and vanilla. Mix in dry ingredients followed by milk, then finely chopped rhubarb. Pour into greased pan then sprinkle mixed topping on top. Bake in 9x13 inch pan at 350 degrees F for 35-40 minutes. Half this recipe works well in an 8x8 inch pan.

      Why?

      Perhaps I should also have said that in addition to showing a very high response to gluten, her stool study showed that she had extreme reactions to everything achievement on it long course of microbials to treat that.

      Constant low back, abdominal and pelvic pain!

      I think sometimes the pain described here can be a result of a sort of 'perfect storm' of contributing factors. Recently I had an appalling bout of lower back pain, lower burning gut pain and what felt like cramps. I then started to think about what could have caused it and I realised it was several things that had set it off: I'd been carrying heavy luggage...

      Have this rash forming on the back of my legs. Looking for relief outside of going to the doctor.

      HI @Kirbyqueen That's great news your insurance will be kicking in soon. Sorry to see that you have been dealing with this for six months now, but I do hope you have managed to find some relief with some of the suggestions in the meantime. Perhaps come back and let us know what the doctor says. Cristiana

      Trying to read my lab results

      I agree, and hopefully your doctor will contact you soon about the next step, which will likely be an endoscopy to confirm your diagnosis. Do you have celiac disease symptoms?
