I wanted to let everyone know about an amazing chocolate cke mix I had. It's by Namaste.

My sister's, boyfriends mother every so often makes a chocolate cherry cake with fresh whipped cream that is awesome. Well she decided to make a gluten free one so that I could have a dessert for Chanukah. She used the Namaste Chocolate Cake Mix and it is the best I've had. I thought the Gluten Free Pantry one was excellent but this blows it away. It is so light and moist I kept looking at the package to confirm for myself it was gluten-free. It tasted so good and so much like normal cake I couldn't believe it.

I went on the website just now to find where I can get it. Here is the link if you are interested.

Thanks for the tip! I just ordered their choc. cake mix, van. cake mix, pizza crust mix, and waffle/pancake mix. I was on the verge of not trying any more gluten-free baked goods as I have not found any that I like (I know - I am VERY picky). I had decided I would rather go without. But, the other day I tried a frozen pizza crust that I ordered from gluten-free Pantry and it was OK. I will let you know what I think of the Namaste mixes.

Thanks again!!!!

I had a hard time finding things I liked at first. I wasted TOO much money trying to find "replacements". I think after a while my tastebuds adjusted and everything wasn't YUCKEY anymore. I have found a few things that I rely on for a regular basis. I like the gluten free pantry's cake and cookie mix, also their pie crust mix and their chocolate truffle brownies. I like the namaste blondies as a special treat (their mixes are a bit expensive). I get blue diamond almond thins for crackers. I also like to get a package of nana's lemon cookies on occasion. I have gotten doughnuts twice from Kinnikinnick . Other than that, I don't really get many specialty foods. I just eat foods that are naturally gluten free or I make things from scratch at home.

Jessica,

It is so funny that you mentioned Blue Diamond Almond Thins - my brother who lives in Annapolis brought a box to me at Christmas. There aren't very many options for me locally since I live in such a rural area. I loved them! They are really good with Kraft Old English Cheese Spread!

My brother is so sweet - he brought a bag of gluten-free goodies for me from Whole Foods!

I am so glad to hear you like the cake mix. I tried their brownies and hated them. I prefer gluten-free pantry. So, never purchased anything else. I will try the cake mix next time I am in the mood!

Thanks,

Hez

      Is "Shield" skincare products gluten-free?

      By trents · Posted

      @LynnM, when you say, "today, his numbers were high", what numbers do you refer to? Are you speaking of celiac antibody scores? Can you be more specific and can you post the test names, the numbers and the reference ranges for the tests? So, I am understanding you to say that topical exposure to gluten doesn't cause him GI reactions but ingestion of gluten does but at the same time you are attributing the "high numbers" to the topical exposure?

      Abnormal Labs, Should I Be Concerned?

      By Ginger38 · Posted

      So I recently had blood work and my hemoglobin, hematocrit, protein and alkaline phosphatase were all low. They have never been low in the past but since august of last year I have been on the in and off gluten rollercoaster as I mentioned in previous posts. Should I be concerned with these new findings? I am worried I have made myself really sick and done damage or something this past year

      Thank you Scott. My son doesn't have a reaction topically, only when ingested. Interestingly though, the doc told us the face cream getting gluten into his bloodstream doesn't do the damage akin to when gluten is ingested. He had no reaction when using the face cream, it only presented in blood-work. I'm hopeful from all the comments today and will wait for the GI doc to reply. If he is cleared to use it, I will encourage SHIELD to get a gluten-free certification

      Is "Shield" skincare products gluten-free?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It’s great that you’re taking the time to research products carefully for your son with celiac disease—especially since accidental gluten exposure through skincare can be a real concern for sensitive individuals. Based on the ingredient lists you’ve shared, none of the products appear to contain obvious sources of gluten like wheat, barley, or rye derivatives. Ingredients like glycerin and tocopherols (not listed here but often a concern) can sometimes be derived from wheat, but many manufacturers use plant-based or synthetic sources. SHIELD’s transparency and willingness to share their full ingredient list is a good sign, and their note about not intentionally adding gluten is reassuring. Still, because ingredient sourcing can vary and sensitivities differ from person to person, it’s wise that you’ve reached out to your GI specialist to be sure these products are safe for your son’s specific needs. In the meantime, if you do try any of the products, consider patch-testing them first and watching closely for any signs of skin irritation or reactions. PS - Most people with celiac disease won't react to skin products that may contain gluten, but I still recommend finding gluten-free products.

      Greetings Trents and Scott. This is the first time I'm posting here so I apologize in advance if I'm not replying properly. My 13 YO was diagnosed at age 5 and once gluten was removed from his diet, he grew 3" in a year, skin became much better and dark circles around his eyes disappeared. Today his numbers were very high and our new dietician discovered his face cream (Clinique dramatically different lotion) contained gluten. My fault for not checking.    His acne really has only just started and he's using OCT gluten-free products but the SHIELD is nothing short of miraculous for my 16 YO son and the 13 YO is eager to start. I will await his dietician's reply or google each ingredient.    I don't want to put him on that Rx as it's not that bad and isn't painful either. Just a boy starting 8th grade and doesn't want bad acne.    When I hear back I will circle back.
