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

      Low iron and vitamin d

      Hi, I posted before about my son's legs shaking after gluten. I did end up starting him on vit b and happily he actually started sleeping better and longer. Back to my 4 year old. She had gone back to meltdowns, early wakes, and exhaustion. We tested everything again and her ferritin was lowish again (16) and vit d was low. After a couple weeks...

      Hi @Atl222 As @trents points out, there could be many reasons for this biopsy result. I am interested to know, is your gastroenterologist concerned? Also, are your blood tests showing steady improvement over the years? I remember when I had my last biopsy, several years after diagnosis, mine came back with with raised lymphocytes but no villous...

      Low iron and vitamin d

      By lizzie42 · Posted

      Hi, I posted before about my son's legs shaking after gluten. I did end up starting him on vit b and happily he actually started sleeping better and longer.  Back to my 4 year old. She had gone back to meltdowns, early wakes, and exhaustion. We tested everything again and her ferritin was lowish again (16) and vit d was low. After a couple weeks on supplements she is cheerful, sleeping better and looks better. The red rimmed eyes and dark circles are much better.   AND her Ttg was a 3!!!!!! So, we are crushing the gluten-free diet which is great. But WHY are her iron and vit d low if she's not getting any gluten????  She's on 30mg of iron per day and also a multivitamin and vit d supplement (per her dr). That helped her feel better quickly. But will she need supplements her whole life?? Or is there some other reason she's not absorbing iron? We eat very healthy with minimal processed food. Beef maybe 1x per week but plenty of other protein including eggs daily.  She also says her tummy hurts every single morning. That was before the iron (do not likely a side effect). Is that common with celiac?

I remember when I had my last biopsy, several years after diagnosis, mine came back with with raised lymphocytes but no villous damage, too! In my own case, my consultant wasn't remotely concerned - in fact, he said I might still get this result even if all I ever did was eat nothing but rice and water.   My coeliac blood tests were still steadily improving, albeit slowly, which was reassuring.

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @Atl222! Yes, your increased lymphocytes could be in response to oats or it could possibly be cross contamination from gluten that is getting into your diet from some unexpected source but not enough to damage the villi. And I'm certain that increased lymphocytes can be caused by other things besides celiac disease or gluten/oats exposure. See attachment. But you might try eliminating oats to start with and possibly dairy for a few months and then seek another endoscopy/biopsy to see if there was a reduction in lymphocyte counts.
