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.

      GI DX celiac despite neg serology and no biopsy

      By trents · Posted

      If you were off gluten for two months that would have been long enough to invalidate the celiac blood antibody testing. Many people make the same mistake. They experiment with the gluten free diet before seeking formal testing. Once you remove gluten from the diet the antibodies stop being produced and those that are already in circulation begin to be removed and often drop below detectable levels. To pursue valid testing for celiac disease you would need to resume gluten consumption equivalent to the amount found in 4-6 slices of wheat bread daily for at least two weeks, preferably longer. These are the most recent guidelines for the "gluten challenge". Without formal testing there is no way to distinguish between celiac disease and gluten sensitivity since their symptoms overlap. However, celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder that damages the small bowel lining, not true of gluten sensitivity. There is no test available for gluten sensitivity so celiac disease must first be ruled out. By the way, elevated liver enzymes was what led to my celiac diagnosis almost 25 years ago.

      Then it does not seem to me that a gluten-related disorder is at the heart of your problems, unless that is, you have refractory celiac disease. But you did not answer my question about how long you had been eating gluten free before you had the blood antibody test for celiac disease done.

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By Xravith · Posted

      My genetic test results have arrived - I’m homozygous for DQB1*02, meaning I have HLA-DQ2. I’ve read that this is one of the genes most strongly associated with celiac disease, and my symptoms are very clear. I’m relieved that the results finally arrived, as I was getting quite worried since my symptoms have been getting worse. Next step, blood test. What do these results imply? What should I tell my family? I’m concerned that this genetic predisposition might also affect other family members.

      So far 3 months in - worsening symptoms. I have had the worst constipation in my life and I am primarily eating naturally gluten-free foods like potatoes, eggs, salad with homemade dressing, corn tortillas, etc. I hate gluten-free bread and pasta so I don't eat it. Occasionally I eat gluten-free almond flour crackers. As stated in the post, I don't have any vitamin deficiency. I was already tested.
