My family is really struggling with how to have a birthday party for me this year without having a cake. I told them I thought an ice cream sundae supper would work. Just buy ice cream and the goodies and let everyone make their own. Keeping the items in seperate dishes. Do you think this would work?????

Did this last year, it worked very well, got TONS of compliments on it.

How ever, you can get gluten-free ice cream cakes, we get ours from Baskin Robins (just have to tell them how to make it and give them a few days notice) and some one posted that Carvel will do the same.

Well I am in Nashville, TN and go to the on near Kroger on the corner of Magavic and Lebabon. Thier normal cake is 1/2 cake and 1/2 ice cream, so all they realy need to do is leave the cake out. Thier icing is gluten-free (at least the containers they let me read), and thier icecream is gluten-free (save teh odvious like cookie dough) so its fairly easy for them. I just make sure to remind them to use all clean untensils and stuff. They have been very nice to me at least .... and I will be there today ordering a cake for my son's b-day this weekend. :)

You can still have cake - just make a gluten-free one. Or there are tons of other things you can have... my mom makes a fabulous lemon sponge cake w/ cornstartch, or pies, or meringues, creme brulee, definitely a sundea bar... oh I'm hungry now :P

A hot fudge sunday bar would be great you could make a big batch of easy gluten free fugde pie ( crustless like brownies), I have a recipe thats so simple if you would like it.. my family LOVES it! and it calls for very little flour. then have all sorts of topings and flavors of ice cream.. or you could make a few rice cream pies.. gluten free rice crispys peanutbutter and caro syrup for the crust and fill it with vanilla icecream.. if you would like any of those recipes let me know!

I live in Tn also.. we get up towards nashville quite often, its about 30 mins away. we have a baskin robbins here I will have to ask them about it so you simply leave off the cake part ?

Yep. I just have them make it with only ice cream. THey say they need 48 hours for the icecream to "set" so it not as easy as walking in and pulling on from the freezer, but realy a small price to pay for a REAL birthday cake :D I have had them make 2 so far, and both went off very well. :D

I live just out side Nashville in a area called Donelson, near the new Grand Old Opry so that might be closer then that 30 mins to you... or futher. :)

Happy B-day!!

      Help I’m cross contaminating myself,

      @klmgarland, My dermatitis herpetiformis didn't clear up until I became meticulous about cross contamination. I cut out gluten-free oats and all gluten-free foods, dairy and gluten-free rice.

      What are Celiac Disease Symptoms?

      In addition to gastrointestinal symptoms like diarrhea, I had gastroesophageal reflux that was becoming intolerable despite treatment with PPIs and antacids. When I went gluten-free, the GERD lessened tremendously (as did the other symptoms).

      Help I’m cross contaminating myself,

      Thank you so very much Scott. Just having someone understand my situation is so very helpful. If I have one more family member ask me how my little itchy skin thing is going and can't you just take a pill and it will go away and just a little bit of gluten can't hurt you!!!! I think I will scream!!

      It is difficult to do the detective work of tracking down hidden sources of cross-contamination. The scenarios you described—the kiss, the dish towel, the toaster, the grandbaby's fingers—are all classic ways those with dermatitis herpetiformis might get glutened, and it's a brutal learning curve that the medical world rarely prepares you for.

      My only proof

      It's very frustrating to be dismissed by medical professionals, especially when you are the one living with the reality of your condition every day. Having to be your own advocate and "fight" for a doctor who will listen is an exhausting burden that no one should have to carry. While that 1998 brochure is a crucial piece of your personal history, it's infuriating...

      Help I’m cross contaminating myself,

      By Rogol72 · Posted

      @klmgarland, My dermatitis herpetiformis didn't clear up until I became meticulous about cross contamination. I cut out gluten-free oats and all gluten-free foods, dairy and gluten-free rice. Additionally, getting the right amount of protein for my body weight helped significantly in my body's healing process ... along with supplementing with enough of all the vitamins and minerals ... especially Zinc and Magnesium. I went from 70kg to 82kg in a year. Protein with each meal 3 times daily, especially eggs at breakfast made the difference. I'm not sure whether iodine was a problem for me, but I can tolerate iodine no problem now. I'm off Dapsone and feel great. Not a sign of an itch. So there is hope. I'm not advocating for the use of Dapsone, but it can bring a huge amount of relief despite it's effect on red blood cells. The itch is so distracting and debilitating. I tried many times to get off it, it wasn't until I implemented the changes above and was consistent that I got off it. Dermatitis Herpetiformis is horrible, I wouldn't wish it on anyone.

      It is difficult to do the detective work of tracking down hidden sources of cross-contamination. The scenarios you described—the kiss, the dish towel, the toaster, the grandbaby's fingers—are all classic ways those with dermatitis herpetiformis might get glutened, and it's a brutal learning curve that the medical world rarely prepares you for. It is difficult to have to deal with such hyper-vigilance. The fact that you have made your entire home environment, from makeup to cleaners, gluten-free is a big achievement, but it's clear the external world and shared spaces remain a minefield. Considering Dapsone is a logical and often necessary step for many with DH to break the cycle of itching and allow the skin to heal while you continue your detective work; it is a powerful tool to give you back your quality of life and sleep. You are not failing; you are fighting an incredibly steep battle. For a more specific direction, connecting with a dedicated celiac support group (online or locally) can be invaluable, as members exchange the most current, real-world tips for avoiding cross-contamination that you simply won't find in a pamphlet. You have already done the hardest part by getting a correct diagnosis. Now, the community can help you navigate the rest. If you have DH you will likely also want to avoid iodine, which is common in seafoods and dairy products, as it can exacerbate symptoms in some people. This article may also be helpful as it offers various ways to relieve the itch:

Having to be your own advocate and "fight" for a doctor who will listen is an exhausting burden that no one should have to carry. While that 1998 brochure is a crucial piece of your personal history, it's infuriating that the medical system often requires more contemporary, formal documentation to take a condition seriously. It's a common and deeply unfair situation for those who were diagnosed decades ago, before current record-keeping and testing were standard. You are not alone in this struggle.

      Methylprednisone treatment for inflammation?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Methylprednisolone is sometimes prescribed for significant inflammation of the stomach and intestines, particularly for conditions like Crohn's disease, certain types of severe colitis, or autoimmune-related gastrointestinal inflammation. As a corticosteroid, it works by powerfully and quickly suppressing the immune system's inflammatory response. For many people, it can be very effective at reducing inflammation and providing rapid relief from symptoms like pain, diarrhea, and bleeding, often serving as a short-term "rescue" treatment to bring a severe flare under control. However, experiences can vary, and its effectiveness depends heavily on the specific cause of the inflammation. It's also important to be aware that while it can work well, it comes with potential side effects, especially with longer-term use, so it's typically used for the shortest duration possible under close medical supervision. It's always best to discuss the potential benefits and risks specific to your situation with your gastroenterologist.
