It must be chocolate! I am a chocolate lover! What's your favorite birthday cake box mix? I don't want to make from scratch; too much hassle. Must come from a box, just add water, egg, butter, etc.

 

And what about icing? Can be chocolate or vanilla. What's the best? Has to come already made--don't want to bother making it myself.

I like the King Arthur Flour gluten-free chocolate cake mix. Makes two layers (betty crocker ones only make a small cake or one layer) and stays fresh for a long time. Nice chocolatey flavor.  I use the icing in the tub from the store... I want to say Duncan Hines is the gluten-free one, but they all look very similar.  But at least one brand has gluten-free on the label, maybe more than one of the brands.  If you want to ice a two layer cake, it takes 1 and a half tubs of icing to make it thick on there, otherwise you have to put it on thin to make it go all over.

 

The betty crocker mixes taste good, but if you want a big cake you gotta buy two.  But not quite as good as KAF.

I like to use a brownie mix (Glutino I think?) and turn it into a small cake.  The box calls for about 1/4c oil and 2 eggs but I increase the eggs up to about 4 or even 8 if I use coconut flour.  I add baking powder, 1/2-3/4c golden flax meal, and 1/4 c chia meal if I have it. I often add 1-2 scoops (1/4-1/2c) chocolate protein powder too.  It makes a dense cake that is halfway between a brownie and pudding cake.  Tastes good with coconut cream icing or chocolate avocado icing.

      That is more than 10x the standard range, so a strong positive. In the UK for children and adults under the age of 55, at least 10x the standard range is sufficient to be diagnosed without having an endoscopy. The NICE guidelines are are different for children in that a referral to a gastroenterologist is also recommended for diagnosis. https://www.coeliac.org.uk/healthcare-professionals/diagnosis/how-to-test/ https://www.coeliac.org.uk/healthcare-professionals/diagnosis/diagnosis-in-children/

      Diagnosed w Celiacs, but reacting to gluten-free Digiorno Pizza AND Kraft Zesty Italian Dressing

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Welcome, @annamarie6655, I followed the AIP diet, too.  It allows the intestines time to heal.  I still avoid a lot of processed foods.  Once you get used to eating whole foods, they taste better than processed foods. I couldn't eat pepperoni without becoming ill.  Pepperoni is a processed meat that uses "meat glue" to hold its shape.  "Meat glue" is microbial transglutaminase produced by microbes in a lab.  Transglutaminase produced by microbes works the same in our bodies as tissue transglutaminase, which causes inflammation.  Remember those antibody blood tests, tTg IgA and tTg IgG?  They test for tissue transglutaminase produced by the body in response to gluten.  The microbial transglutaminase provokes the same response in our bodies as if exposed to gluten.  Best to avoid processed meat products like formed chicken nuggets, luncheon meats, formed hams, sausage, etc.   Best wishes.

      How to work through food paranoia

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Welcome to the tribe! Do discuss the Autoimmune Protocol Diet (Dr. Sarah Ballantyne) with your dietician.  The AIP diet helps while the intestines are healing, lowering potential to develop other food sensitivities.  Be sure to discuss supplementing with vitamins and minerals.  Damaged intestines don't absorb essential nutrients well.  Supplementing while healing boosts absorption and provides vitamins needed for repair.

      Having the will to be healthy but not the willpower

      This is not a weakness.  It is a serious threat to your health.  I once read an interview with a representitive of a large company.  He proudly stated that his wheat based product is more addictive than potato chips.  The other issue is cultural.   Perhaps this book will help Gluten-Centric Culture: Chapter 5 - Grabbing A Bite Together.  It is published here on Celiac.com free to read.  Chapter 1 starts here Gluten-Centric Culture: The Commensality Conundrum - Chapter 1 - Are You Kidding? At first I ate anything, regardless of nutritional value. Fritos, M&M Peanuts, potato chips, fruit, steak; anything else. Like most habits, it takes about thirty days create the gluten free habit. Pretend you've moved to another country where the food is entirely different.  Don't try to recreate your old diet based from commercial gluten free foods.  Gluten free foods are not fortified, so be aware of vitamins and mineral intake, especially vitamin D.  Vitamin D deficiency is practically a given.  You probably already have deficits from the malabsorption caused by villi damage. Some symptoms respond immediately, others take time to heal.  I counted 19 different symptoms that got better.  Some, like permanent stuffed nose, I was told was normal for some people.
