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.

some dairy free recipes I've seen use ORANGE JUICE in place of milk! I've not personally tried it, so I can't vouch for the flavor, but I have seen this on more than one occassion in recipes...

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.

Okay well I did not last long LOL! I iced just one and ate it. It was VERY good. I think I like it beter then useing eggs/dairy. Its alot more mosit.

I did 1/4th cup apple suace per egg, but did not add any extra baking soda. I used puple free minite maid oj, 100% pure one. The rest I did as per Pamula Cholocate BROWNIE mix directions for cake. :)

Like I siad package says "may contain traces of milk" so have to find a new mix for next try....

      Increased intraepithelial lymphocytes after 10 yrs gluten-free

      Increased intraepithelial lymphocytes after 10 yrs gluten-free

      By trents · Posted

      Cristiana, that sounds like a great approach and I will be looking forward to the results. I am in the same boat as you. I don't experience overt symptoms with minor, cross contamination level exposures so I sometimes will indulge in those "processed on equipment that also processes wheat . . ." or items that don't specifically claim to be gluten free but do not list gluten containing grains in their ingredient list. But I always wonder if I am still experiencing sub acute inflammatory reactions. I haven't had any celiac antibody blood work done since my diagnosis almost 25 years ago so I don't really have any data to go by.

      Increased intraepithelial lymphocytes after 10 yrs gluten-free

      By cristiana · Posted

      I've been reflecting on this further. The lowest TTG I've ever managed was 4.5 (normal lab reading under 10).  Since then it has gone up to 10.   I am not happy with that.  I can only explain this by the fact that I am eating out more these days and that's where I'm being 'glutened', but such small amounts that I only occasionally react. I know some of it is also to do with eating products labelled 'may contain gluten' by mistake - which in the UK means it probably does! It stands to reason that as I am a coeliac any trace of gluten will cause a response in the gut.  My villi are healed and look healthy, but those lymphocytes are present because of the occasional trace amounts of gluten sneaking into my diet.   I am going to try not to eat out now until my next blood test in the autumn and read labels properly to avoid the may contain gluten products, and will then report back to see if it has helped!

      Low iron and vitamin d

      By lizzie42 · Posted

      Hi, I posted before about my son's legs shaking after gluten. I did end up starting him on vit b and happily he actually started sleeping better and longer.  Back to my 4 year old. She had gone back to meltdowns, early wakes, and exhaustion. We tested everything again and her ferritin was lowish again (16) and vit d was low. After a couple weeks on supplements she is cheerful, sleeping better and looks better. The red rimmed eyes and dark circles are much better.   AND her Ttg was a 3!!!!!! So, we are crushing the gluten-free diet which is great. But WHY are her iron and vit d low if she's not getting any gluten????  She's on 30mg of iron per day and also a multivitamin and vit d supplement (per her dr). That helped her feel better quickly. But will she need supplements her whole life?? Or is there some other reason she's not absorbing iron? We eat very healthy with minimal processed food. Beef maybe 1x per week but plenty of other protein including eggs daily.  She also says her tummy hurts every single morning. That was before the iron (do not likely a side effect). Is that common with celiac?

      Celiac disease is the most likely cause, but here are articles about the other possible causes:
