Review Of Crave Bakery

I think that's the name. I got one at Whole Foods yesterday, it was $7.50 (around that amount) and it's personal sized, the diameter of a celiac disease, approximately. It is dark chocolate cake with dark chocolate frosting. I totally splurged in buying it but couldn't pass it up. The way I am I am making four servings from it.

It tastes and has the texture of a regular cake - maybe a little denser, but still great. It is made of rice, tapioca, arrowroot, and some other flours, and also has some applesauce in the recipe (though I couldn't taste it anywhere in the cake).

Being hypoglycemic and not doing well on a lot of sugar, it's a good thing I live far from Crave bakery - it's in SF but they supply some Whole Food's (the one I went to was in Sacramento).

I also picked up the Whole Foods Bakehouse pizza crusts from the freezer - haven't tried yet but they look good and no potato starch, like most of their other products so far. Also not a bad deal, $8.89 for two that look to be a foot in diameter. Pricier than Boboli but cheaper than a delivery pizza. the rest of their treats were too pricey for me, $12 for a half tray of brownies? $9 for 8 ginger spice cookies? $8-9 for a loaf of bread? No thanks. I'll stick to Manna from Anna bread and Pamela's cookies.

Hey Stephanie!

I was really impressed with the Crave cake. It's pretty cute too....I got it for my desert on Thanksgiving. It just looked "perfect" in the box...and it was. :) I wouldnt have known it was dairy and gluten free...it didnt taste any different to me.

      Thank you and I am aware that I should be eating a "normal" diet until tested it's kind of been trial and error for my diet or more like just ERROR! I about 1-3 bites a meal I'm to a point that 99 percent of the time I'm having trouble swallowing just about everything occasionally I find either something or a very small window of time that allows me to get very little of something! I am basically getting zero nutrition what so ever because I take one bite of the meal that I usually just slaved over just to end up tossing it when it's all said and done...did anyone else ever experience anything like this?  I am more then open to suggestions! It is taking a very extreme toll on me and my body forsure

      No! Do not start the gluten free diet until you know whether or not you will be having an endoscopy/biopsy to verify the blood antibody test results. Starting gluten free eating ahead of either form of diagnostic testing can invalidate the results. You don't want to allow the villous lining of the small bowel to experience healing ahead of testing by removing gluten.

      We offer a ton of recipes here: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/gluten-free-recipes/ and have done some articles on fast food places, but keep in mind that eating out is a common source of gluten contamination: https://www.celiac.com/search/?q=fast food&quick=1&type=cms_records2 Many colleges now offer allergen-friendly, and sometimes gluten-free options in their student cafeterias: https://www.celiac.com/search/?&q=colleges&type=cms_records2&quick=1&search_and_or=and&sortby=relevancy PS - Look into GliadinX, which is a sponsor here, but many studies have been done on it which show that it may break down small amounts of gluten in the stomach, before it reaches the intestines.
