The Best Chocolate Cake Mix?

DD is going to a friend's birthday this weekend for an overnight. She's already going to miss out on the pizza that night so I asked her mom if there was any way I could help. She's getting an ice cream cake from DQ and was planning to make a regular chocolate cake as well. I volunteered to do it so DD could have some since I would have to make some sort of treat anyway. Since this is for another child, I want to be sure it is just as good as what they are used to. I was thinking Namaste since all the kids in DD's classed seemed to like the cookies on her own birthday, but I thought I'd solicit opinions first!

My friend made the Cherrybrook Farms? one for her daughter's birthday. She made it as cupcakes, but I think you can bake it as cake too. She got the frosting too. It was REALLy good. We couldn't tell the difference at all.

I just had Gluten Free Pantry's chocolate truffle brownies for the first time last night and they were AWESOME, totally shocked. I would bet if they make a cake mix it would be great too!!!

We love the Gluten-Free Essentials Extreme Chocolate Cake Mix. We have tried a lot cake mixes over the years and this one is by far our favorite. :) The mix actually makes 2-round pans or one 9 x 13. Alot of the other mixes only make one round pan. Sometimes I can find these in the health market of my local grocery store or I have also ordered them from The Gluten-Free Trading company. The spice cake mix is really good too!

By far, our favorite is the chocolate cake mix from Namaste. It's delicious and, when I made it for my daughter's birthday, everyone (including gluten eaters) totally loved it.

If it only needs to be gluten free, I like Pamela's Products best by far. I liked it more than Namaste, Gluten Free Pantry, and Sylvan Border Farms. I do the "Ultra Rich" recipe on the package. I personally don't have Celiac Disease, but my son & possibly husband do, so I actually have tasted it side by side w/ gluten chocolate cake and don't taste much of a difference except it's a little less sweet and has a stronger chocolate taste than something like Duncan Hines mix. And others who have eaten it who also do not have celiac disease had no idea it was gluten-free until after they noticed that my son was eating it, too.

I've used Namaste, Cherrybrook Kitchen, Gluten-Free Pantry, but the one I like best is Pamela's. I made it into a birthday cake for my 4 year old daughter. Her friends loved it! They couldn't tell the difference!

Those are wonderful, I have tricked my coworkers with them, they did not believe they were gluten-free.

      High DGP-A with normal IGA

      So you're saying that you think you should have severe intestinal damage since you've had the symptoms so long? DGP IgG antibodies are produced in response to a partial gluten molecule. This is different than what tissue transglutaminase antibodies are produced in response to. TTg IgA antibodies are produced in the intestines in response to...

      High DGP-A with normal IGA

      I was tested for celiac at the same time, so I wasn't taking naltrexone yet. I say that, because I don't. The endoscopy showed some mild inflammation but was inconclusive as to celiac disease. They took several biopsies and that's all that was shown. I was not given a Marsh score.

      High DGP-A with normal IGA

      Food and environmental allergies involve IgE antibodies. IgE antibodies provoke histamine release from mast cells. Celiac disease is not always visible to the naked eye during endoscopy. Much of the damage is microscopic and patchy or out of reach of the scope. Did they take any biopsies of your small intestine for a pathologist to examine? Were...

      High DGP-A with normal IGA

      I was tested for food allergies and environmental allergies about 7 months before I started taking Naltrexone, so I don't think that is the cause for me, but that's interesting! The main thing with the celiac thing that is throwing me off is these symptoms are lifelong, but I don't have intestinal damage to correlate with lifelong undiagnosed celiac...

      Finding gluten free ingredients

      Welcome to the forum, @Kara S! Warrior bread is a grain free bread product. Google it. There are commercial mixes available, I believe, Youtube videos and many recipes.

      So you're saying that you think you should have severe intestinal damage since you've had the symptoms so long?   DGP IgG antibodies are produced in response to a partial gluten molecule.  This is different than what tissue transglutaminase antibodies are  produced in response to.   TTg IgA antibodies are produced in the intestines in response to gluten.  The tTg IgA antibodies attack our own cells because a structural component in our cell membranes resembles a part of gluten.  There's a correlation between the level of intestinal damage with the level of tTg antibodies produced.  You are not producing a high number of tTg IgA antibodies, so your level of tissue damage in your intestines is not very bad.  Be thankful.   There may be reasons why you are not producing a high quantity of tTg IgA antibodies.  Consuming ten grams or more of gluten a day for two weeks to two months before blood tests are done is required to get sufficient antibody production and damage to the intestines.  Some undiagnosed people tend to subconsciously avoid lots of gluten.  Cookies and cakes do not contain as much gluten as artisan breads and thick chewy pizza crust.  Anemia, diabetes and thiamine deficiency can affect IgA antibody production as well.   Do you carry genes for Celiac?  They frequently go along with EDS.

Why do you say you "don't have intestinal damage to correlate with lifelong undiagnosed celiac disease"?   Just curious.
