Hi Everyone! I am brand new to the board, I have been reading posts for a few months now and everyone is so helpful! I have learned so much just reading all of your posts. I was diagnosed in the fall with Celiac, and I have been gluten free ever since!

I am getting married in August in Southern California and I was wondering if anyone had any ideas as to how to handle our wedding cake?? Does anyone know of any gluten free bakeries in the Los Angeles area? Any ideas or suggestions would be so helpful!

Thank you all!

Bette Hagman's Italian Cream Cake recipe is a great "Special occasion" cake - but you need to like nuts and coconut!

There are other's who have been married with gluten free cakes - sometimes you can make your own cake (or at least the layer the two of you will be eating from) and then have someone else frost and decorate it (but make sure you okay the frosting with the cake decorator so you're sure the frosting is gluten free).

Also, my cousin had a backyard reception after being married. I took a couple of gluten free cakes because so many of our family members have celiac. (One was chocolate, and one was a carrot cake). Interestingly enough, the gluten free cakes were gone LONG before the other cake . . . and it was NOT just the celiacs who were eating them! No one knew they were gluten free . .. they just knew they were good!

Congratulations!

To be honest, I wouldn't bother with a gluten-free wedding cake. We got married in June and had a large wedding. There was no way that I was going to bake a cake for 200 people nor was there a certified gluten-free bakery in the area. So we got a really good baker who baked our bride & grooms cakes and everyone LOVED them. I, obviously, did not eat any and i really don't regret it.

gluten-free Betsy - I'd love the carrot cake recipe if you'd share! You can PM me, or post in another thread - don't want to hijack this one!

Congrats on your wedding - I hope you find a solution to your cake! :D

The carrot cake recipe is in the desserts section of www.eatingglutenfree.com.

Just don't try to make cupcakes out of it . . . they end up looking like Mt. St. Helen's after the explosion . .. mostly crater! :lol: Of course, that way you get to use a LOT of cream cheese frosting on the top . . . which is delicious!

Our baker was WONDERFUL! We gave her a gluten-free cake mix to use on the top layer of our cake and the rest of the cake contained gluten. She separated the layers with cardboard. We ate off the top layer for the pictures and left the rest of the cake for our guest. We saved tons of money doing our cake this way.

      I don't know of a connection. Lots of people who don't have celiac disease/gluten issues get shingles.

My eye is hurting and sensitive. Pain has been a 10/10+ daily. Taking Motrin and Tylenol around the clock. I AM MISERABLE. The pain is unrelenting. I just want to cry.   But Developing shingles has me a bit concerned about my immune system which also has me wondering about celiac and if there’s a connection to celiac / gluten and shingles; particularly since I haven't been 💯 gluten free because of all the confusing test results and doctors advice etc., is there a connection here? I’ve never had shingles and the gluten/ celiac  roller coaster has been ongoing for a while but I’ve had gluten off and on the last year bc of all the confusion

      You're right, doctors usually only test Vitamin D and B12.  Both are really important, but they're not good indicators of deficiencies in the other B vitamins.  Our bodies are able to store Vitamin B12 and Vitamin D in the liver for up to a year or longer.  The other B vitamins can only be stored for much shorter periods of time.  Pyridoxine B 6 can be stored for several months, but the others only a month or two at the longest.  Thiamine stores can be depleted in as little as three days.  There's no correlation between B12 levels and the other B vitamins' levels.  Blood tests can't measure the amount of vitamins stored inside cells where they are used.  There's disagreement as to what optimal vitamin levels are.  The Recommended Daily Allowance is based on the minimum daily amount needed to prevent disease set back in the forties when people ate a totally different diet and gruesome experiments were done on people.  Folate  requirements had to be updated in the nineties after spina bifida increased and synthetic folic acid was mandated to be added to grain products.  Vitamin D requirements have been updated only in the past few years.   Doctors aren't required to take as many hours of nutritional education as in the past.  They're educated in learning institutions funded by pharmaceutical corporations.  Natural substances like vitamins can't be patented, so there's more money to be made prescribing pharmaceuticals than vitamins.   Also, look into the Autoimmune Protocol Diet, developed by Dr. Sarah Ballantyne, a Celiac herself.  Her book The Paleo Approach has been most helpful to me.  You're very welcome.  I'm glad I can help you around some stumbling blocks while on this journey.    Keep me posted on your progress!  Best wishes!
