Hey,

Anyone have suggestions for good cake mix? I am looking for Cause You're Special mixes but my grocery stores don't carry it.

Thanks

Jennifer

The Gluten Free Pantry makes the best mixes I've tried so far, in my opinion. The Cake and Cookie Mix is very good. Also the Gingerbread Cake Mix. Their brownies are as good or better than Duncan Hines.

I second the Namaste chocolate cake mix. It is the absolute best. If given the choice I would eat this over any of the "normal" brands like Duncan Hines.

I use El Peto. It's a Cdn company. Their white cake mix and chocolate cake mix are amazing!

I second Gluten-Free Pantry and Namaste is almost better than sex (can I say that here?). I made namaste blondies with chocolate chips at Christmas and everyone gobled them up!

I've recently tried Pamala's chocolate cake mix and it is the best I've tried so far.

haven't tried Pamela's cake mix yet, but her brownie mix makes the best double chocolate cookies!!!

As far as the cake mixes I have tried, the Namaste has the best texture so far. Gluten free Pantry was good, but still a little grainy for my taste. Namaste chocolate cake is VERY rich and moist and just yummy, I used homemade chocolate butter frosting and almost wish I'd used either cool whip, or something lighter to frost with b/c it was so rich.

I just got off the phone with a friend that I had served cake to the last time she was here and I sent some home with her for her mom... she just called to tell me that her and her mom LOVED the cake and want the recipe (they are NOT gluten free) I told them it was Pamela's brownie mix, the recipe for cake is on the bag! The frosting was just a homemade fudge frosting with butter, cocoa, powdered sugar and vanilla... very simple! She just went on and on about how delicious and rich the cake was and could not believe that it was wheat free/gluten free! So, a non gluten-free reccommendation for the Pamela's brownie mix made into a cake!

      Draft gluten-free ciders… can they be trusted ?

      I'd go with a vodka tonic, but that's just me😉

      Draft gluten-free ciders… can they be trusted ?

      By Rejoicephd · Posted

      That and my nutritionist also said that drinking cider is one of the worst drink choices for me, given that I have candida overgrowth.  She said the combination of the alcohol and sugar would be very likely to worsen my candida problem.  She suggested that if I drink, I go for clear vodka, either neat or with a splash of cranberry.   So in summary, I am giving ciders a rest.  Whether it's a gluten risk or sugars and yeast overgrowth, its just not worth it.

      Tea Bags and Gluten

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      While plain, pure tea leaves (black, green, or white) are naturally gluten-free, the issue often lies not with the tea itself but with other ingredients or processing. Many flavored teas use barley malt or other gluten-containing grains as a flavoring agent, which would be clearly listed on the ingredient label. Cross-contamination is another possibility, either in the facility where the tea is processed or, surprisingly, from the tea bag material itself—some tea bags are sealed with a wheat-based glue. Furthermore, it's important to consider that your reaction could be to other substances in tea, such as high levels of tannins, which can be hard on the stomach, or to natural histamines or other compounds that can cause a non-celiac immune response. The best way to investigate is to carefully read labels for hidden ingredients, try switching to a certified gluten-free tea brand that uses whole leaf or pyramid-style bags, and see if the reaction persists.

      Inconclusive results

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      This is a challenging and confusing situation. The combination of a positive EMA—which is a highly specific marker rarely yielding false positives—alongside strongly elevated TTG on two separate occasions, years apart, is profoundly suggestive of celiac disease, even in the absence of biopsy damage. This pattern strongly aligns with what is known as "potential celiac disease," where the immune system is clearly activated, but intestinal damage has not yet become visible under the microscope. Your concern about the long-term risk of continued gluten consumption is valid, especially given your family's experience with the consequences of delayed diagnosis. Since your daughter is now at an age where her buy-in is essential for a gluten-free lifestyle, obtaining a definitive answer is crucial for her long-term adherence and health. Given that she is asymptomatic yet serologically positive, a third biopsy now, after a proper 12-week challenge, offers the best chance to capture any microscopic damage that may have developed, providing the concrete evidence needed to justify the dietary change. This isn't about wanting her to have celiac; it's about wanting to prevent the insidious damage that can occur while waiting for symptoms to appear, and ultimately giving her the unambiguous "why" she needs to accept and commit to the necessary treatment. This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease. One test that always needs to be done is the IgA Levels/Deficiency Test (often called "Total IGA") because some people are naturally IGA deficient, and if this is the case, then certain blood tests for celiac disease might be false-negative, and other types of tests need to be done to make an accurate diagnosis. The article includes the "Mayo Clinic Protocol," which is the best overall protocol for results to be ~98% accurate.
