Ideas For Wedding

Hi everyone,

This is my first post. I am getting married in July and was wondering if anyone had any suggestions on what to do with my cake. We ordered a gluten-free 2 tier cake for my fiance and I, and we are going to get a seperate "normal" cake for the guests. What have others done? Should I put it on the same table? Let me know if you have any suggestions. Thanks!

I'm sorry I can't answer your question. I'm new here too. I would love to know the answer though. I am getting married in June. I was thinking of doing a flourless chocolate cake for us to cut and "regular" cupcakes and pastries for our guests.

We are getting a gluten cake for our guests and I am making a gluten free cake for me, my finance (dairy intolerant), and my grandmother (celiac disease). I will probably have it on the same table and it will be well coverd.

I am the only one in my family so far that knows that they have celiac disease. We think that my younger sister does, but she just is too stubern and doesn't want to change what she eats. I am a little nervous about our cake because it will probably be just me and my fiance that will eat it. We are going to freeze the top tier.

If it was me and you want to save on expense why not only have a gluten-free cake and not bother telling anyone that it is.

      ttg iga high (646 mg/dl) other results are normal

      I think you may be correct. The way the results are printed makes it appear as though it’s the ttg iga but I think you’re right—the 646 is total iga. So this would be indicative of another issue (another autoimmune condition, infection, cancer, etc.) and my doctor would need to do further testing. Thank you for saying this!

      Are you sure that is the TTG IgA? Based on the units (mg/dL) and having an upper limit to the normal range, it looks like a total IgA result.

      Vegetarians and vegans with celiac disease

      I am wondering if there are any vegetarians or vegans on this forum. I’ve been vegan for 15+ years and am just finding out I likely have celiac disease (blood panel done, need biopsy). My favorite foods—outside of vegetables, fruits, nuts, seeds—I will likely have to give up. Anyone else?

      Fiber Supplement

      Welcome to the forum, @Trish G! "Gluten free" does not necessarily equate to "no gluten". According to FDA standards it actually means that a food product contains no more than 20ppm of gluten. This is safe for most celiacs but would not be for those who are on the more sensitive end of the spectrum. So, it would depend on the individual celiac and their...

      Fiber Supplement

      I was taking Benefiber for my IBS-C before my celiac diagnosis. It does say Gluten Free but lists Wheat Dextrin on the label. I really dont like psyllium fiber, so is there anything else I can take or is the Benefiber really ok for someone with Celiac disease? Thanks!!!

This is safe for most celiacs but would not be for those who are on the more sensitive end of the spectrum. So, it would depend on the individual celiac and their level of sensitivity to minor amounts of gluten. That's the long and nuanced answer. The short answer is that it is a product derived from wheat and so you can be certain it will contain some residual amounts of gluten. No gluten removal process is 100% effective. So, to be absolutely certain, stay away from it. Have you tried chia seeds? Very high in fiber and quickly turns into a gel when added to water. Make sure you get seeds that are gluten free if you decide to try it.
