Both of our daughters have a birthday party this weekend. I called HyVee and they do make gluten free cakes in there bakery. I don't know of anyone who has tasted one and wondered if any of you had? If you have what was your opionion of it.....what is the comparison to a non gluten-free cake as many of the people there are used to regualar cake but we do have ourselves as well as a few other family members who are celiac including one of our daughters that will be there. I don't want to waste $25 on a cake that will end up in the trash!

Wow, very interesting. I had no idea that Hy-vee offered that. I guess I would be paranoid about cross contamination though. They probably use the same icing to frost gluten filled and gluten free cakes. I would be worried about their work surfaces being full of crumbs. Unless they had a dedicated area with dedicated tools and new frostings I would just not be able to buy it.......

My husband just got off the phone with one of there bakeries and she says they use a dedicated area and what not for these cakes. I guess hy-vee themselves don't make the cakes they just decorate them. We live in eastern Iowa and they order them from gluten free bakery in DesMoines and they deliver them to HyVee. Not every hy-vee in the area does this though. My problem is that niether of the hy-vees could tell me if the cakes tasted good or had a decent texture.

That is great that they are "aware" enough to have a dedicated area. In reguards to the taste, If you slap enough frosting on anything it tastes good :P

      Draft gluten-free ciders… can they be trusted ?

      By Rogol72 · Posted

      A friend of mine is in the bar trade most of his life and has never heard of lines being mixed for different type of beers and ciders. Better to stick with cans.

      By Rejoicephd · Posted

      Thanks very much for confirming my suspicion @Scott Adams! That helps a lot because I'm really trying to track down and get rid of these sources of cross-contact and so I'm going to just rule out the draft ciders and hope that helps. Also @Rogol72 its nice to hear you haven't had a problem on that side of the pond - draft cider lines being used for cider only certainly sounds like the right way to do it, but I think that must not always be practiced over here!

      Gluten challenge and Hashimoto's Thyroiditis

      I didn't ask a doctor about this actually. I did ask several doctors a long time ago and they told me gluten has nothing to do with hashimoto's. One of them told me to do a gluten challenge to test for celiac, but at the time I was in graduate school so couldn't afford to be even more ill than I was. If you have the symptoms, I really don't advise you to do a gluten challenge. It messed me up mentally and physically for months. At the same time, I benefitted from doing the challenge in the sense that it convinced me that all my symptoms were truly from gluten - even stuff like insomnia! So now I am terrified to eat gluten, whereas before I would have a little once in a while and not notice anything dramatic.

      I am in a similar situation where I can't feasibly do a gluten challenge but have all the symptoms and I have 2 celiac genes. I'm curious if your doctor advised you to eat as if you had a diagnosis or if they were more dismissive about it.

      Negative, although I had most of the symptoms of celiac disease. I now eat as if I had a diagnosis.
