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.

      Yes, I, too, have osteoporosis from years of malabsorption, too.  Thiamine and magnesium are what keep the calcium in place in the bones.  If one is low in magnesium, boron, selenium, zinc, copper, and other trace minerals, ones bone heath can suffer.  We need more than just calcium and Vitamin D for strong bones.  Riboflavin B 2, Folate B 9 and Pyridoxine B 6 also contribute to bone formation and strength.   Have you had your thyroid checked?  The thyroid is important to bone health as well.  The thyroid uses lots of thiamine, so a poorly functioning thyroid will affect bone heath.

      That sounds so very likely in my case! I will absolutely ask my doctor on my next bone check coming up in March... Thanks a lot!

      Calcium levels as measured in the blood can be quite deceiving as the body will rob calcium from the bones to meet demands for it by other bodily functions. Also, supplementing with calcium can be counterproductive as it tends to raise gut pH and decrease absorption. More often than not, the problem is poor absorption to begin with rather than deficiency of intake amounts in the diet. Calcium needs an acidic environment to be absorbed. This is why so many people on PPIs develop osteoporosis. The PPIs raise gut pH. And some people have high gut PH for other reasons. Low pH equates to a more acidic environment whereas high pH equates to a more basic (less acidic) environment.

      Kind thanks for all this valuable information! Since my Folate was/is low and also my Calcium, there IS a chance I am low in B vitamins... My doctor only measured the first two, oh and Zinc as I has twisted her arm and guess what, that was mega low too. So who knows, until I get myself tested properly, what else I am deficient in... I did a hair mineral test recently and it said to avoid All sources of Calcium. But this is confusing for me as my Ca is so low and I have osteoporosis because of this. It is my Adjusted Ca that is on the higher side and shouldn't be. So am not sure why the mineral test showed high Ca (well, it was medium in the test but relative to my lowish Magnesium, also via hair sample, it was high I was told). But anyway, thanks again for the VitB download, I will look into this most certainly!

      Allergy medication: cetirizine by the HealthA2Z is it gluten free?

      By ElisaAllergiesgluten · Posted

      Hello good afternoon, I was wondering if anyone has ever brought their anti-allergy pills? I have been wanting to use their Cetirizine HCI 10mg. They are called HealthA2Z and distributed by Allegiant Health.I’m also Asthmatic and these allergies are terrible for me but I also want to be sure they don’t have any sort of gluten compound.    I have tried calling them but to no avail. Has anyone ever used them? If so, did you had any problems or no problems at all?    thank you
