OKay todays my birthday, and I always have :( IceCream Cake : ( but cant :angry: this year do to dairyfree. Soooooo...

If I get one of Pamula's mix's and bake my own dang cake, whats a good alternative for the dairy and egg? I often use 1 1/2 T. water, 1 1/2 T. oil, 1 tsp. baking powder per egg, but is there better option? NOTE: MY WIFE HATES FLAX SEED AND WILL BURN ANYONE AT THE STAKE THAT SUGGESTS YOU USE IT :D I know you can use water for milk 1:1 but is there a better option?

Thanks!

approx 1/4 cup per egg plus add a teaspoon of baking soda to the recipe... you can also add a 1/2 tsp of gluten-free vanilla extract as well...

another version is 1/4 cup silken tofu per egg and a teaspoon of baking soda to the recipe also add vanilla...

Wellyou can add vanilla extra to any baked good realy :) I like the idea of tryin apple sauce rather then oil. I'll have to pick up some 100% pure stuff today and try it.

What about for milk, any ideas beyond rice/soy/almond? If the DariFree stuff arrives today I'll try that, but prbly to soon since the REALY COOL AND AWSOME PERSON OF JERSEYANGEL only mailed it on friday.

You didn't specify if you are making a white/yellow cake or chocolate cake? Pamela's Pancake and Baking Mix has dairy in the mix, I think buttermilk powder. The chocolate cake mix is dairy free.

I have used coconut milk as a milk substitute for a white/yellow cake.

Absoluly, bake from scratch all the time. Got a freezer full of flours heh. DF/EF/gluten-free/NF is a new combo for me to try and work with though LOL

Okay, you've probably already made your cake, but just in case you're still looking, rice milk works great in any cake. You can't taste it. Water will work okay. Here's the link to the white cake recipe in the recipes section - I used water. Use your regular egg substitute or Ener-G Egg Replacer. Cupcakes also work better than larger cakes. You can put them together and frost the top like one big cake.

My grandmother used to make a cake that used OJ in a butter cake mix, then she would boil about a cup of OJ with 1/2 C. sugar until it was thick, slice the cake, but leave it itact, then pour the syrup over it. It was soooooo good. She did this is a pyrex dish, so it wouldn't run everywhere. I would make one now if my hubby wasn't diabetic! :( I'd hate to tempt him!

That sounds delicious :P That would work well, I think, with the GFP Cake and Cookie Mix, done as a cake.

      Self Diagnosed avoiding gluten 7 months later (Not tested due to eating gluten to test) update and question on soy

      I know I haven't been tested but self diagnosed that by avoiding gluten the past 7 months I feel so much better. I have followed how to eat and avoid gluten and have been good about hidden gluten in products, how to prep gluten-free and flours to use to bake gluten-free and have been very successful. It has been a learning curve but once you get the hang...

      Check your multivitamin to see if it contains Thiamine Mononitrate, which is a "shelf-stable" form of thiamine that doesn't break down with exposure to light, heat, and time sitting on a shelf waiting to be sold. Our bodies have difficulty absorbing and utilizing it. Only 30% is absorbed and less can be utilized. There's some question as to how well multivitamins...

      @Scatterbrain, What supplements are you taking? I agree that the problem may be nutritional deficiencies. It's worth talking to a dietician or nutritionist about. Did you get a Marsh score at your diagnosis? Was your tTg IgA level very high? These can indicate more intestinal damage and poorer absorption of nutrients. Are you eating...

      Basic metabolic panel results - more flags

      By Rejoicephd · Posted

      Hey all  Has anyone on here experienced any of the following on their basic metabolic panel results ? This is what mine is currently flagging : - low sodium  - nearly too low potassium - nearly too low chloride - high CO2  - low anion gap  This is now after being nearly gluten-free for over a year (although I admit I make mistakes sometimes and pay dearly for it). My TtG went down to undetectable. I was so sensitive to so many foods I am now avoiding meat dairy and don’t eat a lot of cooked food in general (raw veggies, white rice, avocados and boiled eggs are my usual go-to meal that doesn’t make me sick). But my abdomen still hurts, i have a range of other symptoms too (headaches that last for days before letting up, fatigue, joint pain, bladder pain). Anyway im hoping my urologist (that’s now the latest specialist I’ve seen on account of the bladder pain and cloudy urine after eating certain foods) will help me with this since he ordered this metabolic panel. But I’m bouncing around a lot between specialists and still not sure what’s wrong. Also went back to the GI doctor and she thought maybe the celiac is just not healed or I have something else going on in the colon and I should have that looked at too. I’m still anemic too BTW. And I’m taking sooo may vitamins daily.

I have followed how to eat and avoid gluten and have been good about hidden gluten in products, how to prep gluten-free and flours to use to bake gluten-free and have been very successful. It has been a learning curve but once you get the hang of it and more aware you realize how many places are gluten-free and contamination free practices etc. One thing I have read is how soy is like gluten. How would one know if soy affects you? I have eaten gluten free hershey reeses that say gluten free etc some other snacks say gluten free but contain soy and I dont get sick or soy yogurt no issues. Is there adifference in soys?

      Check your multivitamin to see if it contains Thiamine Mononitrate, which is a "shelf-stable" form of thiamine that doesn't break down with exposure to light, heat, and time sitting on a shelf waiting to be sold.  Our bodies have difficulty absorbing and utilizing it.  Only 30% is absorbed and less can be utilized.   There's some question as to how well multivitamins dissolve in the digestive tract.  You can test this at home.  YouTube has instructional videos.   Talk to your nutritionist about adding a B Complex.  The B vitamins are water soluble, so any excess is easily excreted if not needed.  Consider adding additional Thiamine in the forms Benfotiamine or TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) or thiamine hydrochloride.   Thiamine is needed to help control electrolytes.  Without sufficient thiamine, the kidneys loose electrolytes easily resulting in low sodium and chloride.   We need extra thiamine when we're emotionally stressed, physically ill, and when we exercise regularly, are an athlete, or do physical labor outdoors, and in hot weather.  Your return to activities and athletics may have depleted your thiamine and other B vitamins to a point symptoms are appearing.   The deficiency symptoms of B vitamins overlap, and can be pretty vague, or easily written off as due to something else like being tired after a busy day.  The symptoms you listed are the same as early B vitamin deficiency symptoms, especially Thiamine.  Thiamine deficiency symptoms can appear in as little as three days.  I recognize the symptoms as those I had when I was deficient.  It can get much worse. "My symptoms are as follows: Dizziness, lightheaded, headaches (mostly sinus), jaw/neck pain, severe tinnitus, joint stiffness, fatigue, irregular heart rate, post exercise muscle fatigue and soreness, brain fog, insomnia.  Generally feeling unwell." I took a B 50 Complex twice a day and extra thiamine in the forms Benfotiamine and TTFD.  I currently take the Ex Plus supplement used in this study which shows B vitamins, especially Thiamine B 1, Riboflavin B2, Pyridoxine B 6, and B12 Cobalamine are very helpful.   A functional evaluation of anti-fatigue and exercise performance improvement following vitamin B complex supplementation in healthy humans, a randomized double-blind trial https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10542023/
