I was listening to the radio on my way home and they always have a little 5 minute session about food or wine, and today they talked about Cherry Brook Kitchen. They make gluten-free cake mixes. The lady on the radio said their Chocolate cake with Chocolate frosting is amazing!

Thought I would share that with you. Here is the link to their website.

Thanks for that! I saw them in Wild Oats and was wondering about them, I wonder if they're any good?

Maybe I'll pick one up and try it, but I've never had much luck with mixes ;)

Well the lady on tha radio...not sure of her name...she's into fine dinning, wine, and stuff like that. She definatly knows what she's talking about. She went to a demo for Cherry Brook Kitchen and said she was impressed on how the chocolate cake with chocolate frosting tasted and she never would have thought that it was gluten free.

My husband is baking one for me for my bday. He is really excited about it. I'll let you know in a couple weeks how it was.

We have seen them several times at Super Target and I have never gotten them. I will try them sometime.

We use the chocolate cake mix alot, for both cake and cupcakes. They are quite good!! And they are dairy, egg, peanut and nut free too!!

Simple to make, it only takes oil, water, and vanilla.

I've tried the chocolate cake mix and wasn't impressed. It was edible, but very dry. I liked their sugar cookie mix, though. My B-da7 was Monday and my mom tried Pamela's choc. cake and it was amazing!!!! She made the rich recipe with fat free sour cream and it was great. I love the Cause You're Special brand yellow cake mix. We do cupcakes with it that are soooo good.

I've tried the sugar cookie mix and liked it as well. I used rice milk and Spectrum Organic Shortening to make them dairy and soy free as well as egg and gluten free......YUM!! I could go for some now. :lol:

I haven't seen their products anywhere around here, but was out of town and picked up a frosting mix. Anyone seen them online to buy?

      I realized it is actually important to get an official diagnosis because then insurance can cover bone density testing and other lab work to see if any further damage has been done because of it. Also, if hospitalized for whatever reason, I have the right to gluten-free food if I am officially celiac. I guess it gives me some legal protections. Plus, I have 4 kids, and I really want to know. If I really do have it then they may have increased risk.

      Been off this forum for years. Is it that important that you get an official diagnosis of something? It appears like you had a trigger (wheat, gluten, whatever) and removing it has resolved your symptom. I can't speak for you, but I had known what my trigger was (gluten) years before my diagnosis I would just stay gluten-free and get on with my symptom free condition. I was diagnosed over 20 years ago and have been symptom free only excluding wheat, rye and barley. I tolerate all naturally gluten free whole foods including things like beans which actually helps to form the stools.

      No coincidence. Recent revisions to gluten challenge guidelines call for the daily consumption of at least 10g of gluten (about the amount in 4-6 slices of wheat bread) for a minimum of 3 weeks. If possible, I would extend that two weeks to ensure valid testing.

      Thank you both for the replies. I decided to bring back gluten so I can do the blood test. Today is Day #2 of the Challenge. Yesterday I had about 3 slices of whole wheat bread and I woke up with urgent diarrhea this morning. It was orange, sandy and had the distinctive smell that I did not have when I was briefly gluten free. I don't know if it's a coincidence, but the brain fog is back and I feel very tired.

      @Jane02, I hear you about the kale and collard greens.  I don't do dairy and must eat green leafies, too, to get sufficient calcium.  I must be very careful because some calcium supplements are made from ground up crustacean shells.  When I was deficient in Vitamin D, I took high doses of Vitamin D to correct the deficiency quickly.  This is safe and nontoxic.  Vitamin D level should be above 70 nmol/L.  Lifeguards and indigenous Pacific Islanders typically have levels between 80-100 nmol/L.   Levels lower than this are based on amount needed to prevent disease like rickets and osteomalacia. We need more thiamine when we're physically ill, emotionally and mentally stressed, and if we exercise like an athlete or laborer.  We need more thiamine if we eat a diet high in simple carbohydrates.  For every 500 kcal of carbohydrates, we need 500-1000 mg more of thiamine to process the carbs into energy.  If there's insufficient thiamine the carbs get stored as fat.  Again, recommended levels set for thiamine are based on minimum amounts needed to prevent disease.  This is often not adequate for optimum health, nor sufficient for people with absorption problems such as Celiac disease.  Gluten free processed foods are not enriched with vitamins like their gluten containing counterparts.  Adding a B Complex and additional thiamine improves health for Celiacs.  Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  Thiamine helps the mitochondria in cells to function.  Thiamine interacts with each of the other B vitamins.  They are all water soluble and easily excreted if not needed. Interesting Reading: Clinical trial: B vitamins improve health in patients with coeliac disease living on a gluten-free diet https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19154566/ Safety and effectiveness of vitamin D mega-dose: A systematic review https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34857184/ High dose dietary vitamin D allocates surplus calories to muscle and growth instead of fat via modulation of myostatin and leptin signaling https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38766160/ Safety of High-Dose Vitamin D Supplementation: Secondary Analysis of a Randomized Controlled Trial https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31746327/ Vitamins and Celiac Disease: Beyond Vitamin D https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11857425/ Investigating the therapeutic potential of tryptophan and vitamin A in modulating immune responses in celiac disease: an experimental study https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40178602/ Investigating the Impact of Vitamin A and Amino Acids on Immune Responses in Celiac Disease Patients https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10814138/
