My most favorite thing to have is a cake mix that you buy.......It is from the "Really great food company" there batter tastes so wonderful. They have chocolate, vanilla, and lemon. Yummy :P Yummy.

Oh, if you like cheese cake, I will post a recipe on that. My aunt made it and it was so good. I love cheese cake also, Just let me know. :)

The last few years I have asked for a birthday pie instead of a cake. My mom makes the best pies!! We use the gluten free pantry's pie crust mix and then I request either butterscotch or lemon for the filling (recipe in the better homes and gardens cookbook). SOooooo good!! Much better than a cake :)

I've made this a couple of times and it turns out really well. I liked it better with the flour blend below; with the Bette Hagman featherlight mix I thought it was a bit gritty or grainy tasting. My little fella will be taking one of these cupcakes with him on Sunday to a friend's birthday. I should note that my in-laws didn't know it was gluten-free when they tried it. They were both surprised at how similar it tasted to an all-purpose flour cake.

Gluten Free Wacky Cake

1 1/2 cups gluten-free flour mix

1 1/2 tsp xanthan gum

1 cup sugar

3 tbsp cocoa

1 tsp baking soda

1/2 tsp salt

1 tsp vanilla

1 tbsp vinegar

6 tbsp oil (I used canola)

1 cup cold water

Preheat oven to 350F.

In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, cocoa, soda and salt.

Make three "wells" in the flour mixture. In the first well, put vanilla, in the second the vinegar, and in the third the oil.

Pour the cold water over the mixture and stir until moistened.

Pour into an 8x8 pan.

Bake at 350 until it springs back when touched lightly...about 30 min.

I also added about 1/4 cup applesauce for added moistness.

Carol Fenster's Sorghum Corn flour Blend

makes 4 1/2 cups

1 1/2 cups sorghum flour

1 1/2 cups potato starch OR corn starch

1 cup tapioca starch (flour)

1/2 cup corn flour

I like a homemade Flourless chocolate Torte. Google the recipes for them and you'll get 1000's to choose from. You can add any flavoring you like... I've made it with raspberry flavor, orange flavor, mint *didn't like mint, Coffee flavor, Kaluha flavor, You can figure out your favorite. They are easy enough to make and so varied.

      Celiac friendly probiotics

      In response to your questions regarding probiotics. I have had Celiac for 40 years. Stomach issues: digestion, IBS to chronic constipation, bloat after eating anything. I was unable to eat a healthy variety of foods, tried probiotics supplements - some made me worse, others made no difference. After reading about people with Crones, IBS, etc, who made...

      Hi Katht - I sympathize with your struggles in following a gluten-free diet and lifestyle. I found out that I had Celiac Disease a few months before I turned 70. I just turned 89 and it has taken me almost 20 years to attain a fairly normal intestinal function. I also lost a lot of weight, down to 100 lb. down from about 140 lb. What Trents wrote you was...

      In response to your questions regarding probiotics.  I have had Celiac for 40 years.  Stomach issues: digestion, IBS to chronic constipation, bloat after eating anything.  I was unable to eat a healthy variety of foods, tried probiotics supplements - some made me worse, others made no difference.  After reading about people with Crones, IBS, etc, who made their own probiotics I started making Milk Kefir: not water Kefir. There are 10 probiotics in milk KEFIR. After 3 weeks I was able to eat more, no gas, no IBS.  If you have a computer just ask for videos on making milk Kefir. I branched out and make my own Kombucha for even more probiotics. I do not make my yogurt because there are only about four probiotics in that. I started this when I was 82 and I still make my own Kefir and Kombucha. My stomach issues were fixed with the Milk Kefir alone. If you decide to try making it, make certain you order MILK GRAINS. The finished product tastes a bit like Buttermilk. I hope this helps in your journey to good health.

      Hi Katht -  I sympathize with your struggles in following a gluten-free diet and lifestyle. I found out that I had Celiac Disease a few months before I turned 70. I just turned 89 and it has taken me almost 20 years to attain a fairly normal intestinal  function. I also lost a lot of weight, down to 100 lb. down from about 140 lb. What Trents wrote you was very true for me. I am still elimination foods from my diet. One person suggested you keep a food diary and that is a good idea but it is probably best just to do an elimination diet. There are several ne and maybe one for celiacs. I used one for a while and started with plain rice and zucchini and then added back other foods to see if I reacted or not. That helped a great deal but what I did not realise that it would only very small amounts of some foods to cause inflammation in my intestine. Within the last few years I have stopped eating any trace amounts of hot peppers, corn and soy(mostly in supplements) and nuts, (the corn in Tylenol was giving me stomach aches and the nuts were causing foot pains). Starting an elimination diet with white rice is better than brown rice that has some natural toxins. In addition it is very important to drink sufficient plain water. You can find out how much to drink for your height and weight online. I do have difficulty drinking 48 ounces of water but just recently have found an electrolyte supplement that helps me stay well hydrated, Adding the water and electrolytes may reduce muscle cramps and gag spams you wrote about. . Also buy some anti-gluten enzyme capsules to take with meals. I use GliadinX advertised here. These are a lot of things to do at one time as they reflect my 20 years of experience. I hope you do what you can manage to do over time. Good luck and take care.
