Funfetti Cake? Cream Of Mushroom Soup?

Okay, so I've been gluten-free for 3 weeks, and I have been "diving in" to buying replacement foods, learning the recipes, etc. There are just 2 favorite foods that I'm craving, and I can't find anything on them.

They are very unrelated, lol! But does anyone know how I can make gluten-free cream of mushroom soup? And/or gluten-free Funfetti cake (that's the white cake with the sprinkles inside)?

Thanks in advance to anyone who has figured either of these out!

Hi,

I have 2 recipes for cream of mushroom soup, but none for the cake.

Cream of Mushroom Soup

1 cup dry milk powder (we use a non-dairy creamer)

1 cup white rice flour

2 Tbsp dehydrated minced onions (can be omitted)

Thanks, Amy! Those are so helpful.

Now I just need to find a way to make my favorite cake again, and I'll be ready to go (at least for now, lol.)

Health Valley makes a gluten free Cream of Mushroom and Cream of Chicken soup. They can be a little difficult to find for some people though.

Progresso makes a "Creamy Mushroom" soup that is gluten free. I thicken it a bit on the stove with a bit of gluten free flour.

hmmmmmmm.....I don't really know what Funfetti cake is (but I want some :rolleyes: ) but I know that Namaste makes some really great cake mixes, and those might work. the sprinkles.........I don't know but you can check ingredients on those. Would colored sugar work? the really large, course crystals - I h ave a fabulous multi-colored package in square cylinder I purchased at a gourmet grocery. I think those are mosly gluten-free.

We like the 'Cause You're Special yellow cake. I have found it in a health food store here but you can also order it online. It looks just like a regular white cake. I haven't tried this, but I would think you could use some sprinkles just mixed in. A lot of Wilton's cake decorating supplies are gluten-free but you have to call to verify.

I wouldn't try the Namaste vanilla cake with this because it makes a very dense, brown cake.

Almost all Wilton candy sprinkles are gluten-free. Also the same with the Cake-Mate brand found in most stores. We use a ton of sprinkles at my house and the only things that I have found to have gluten in them are the edible shapes "pictures" of Barbie, Scooby-doo, Looney Tunes, etc. that either go directly on the cake or have a tab that can stick into a cupcake. They all had wheat starch in them, the rest are fine.

So you could mix a gluten-free cake mix and then stir in the candy sprinkles right before you pour it into the baking pan. It works great.

I use both of these with great luck. I can find the Health Valley ones at the local health food store as well as Kroger and Publix. You might check there and if they don't have it, ask your grocery store to order it.

As for the funfetti cake...... I'm a cake mix girl myself. The BEST one I've found is Cause you're Special. I make cupcakes and freeze for later. I bet you could just make the cake and add in some sprinkles and bake as you normally would. I order these mixes from glutenfreegourmet.com or you can get it from gluten free mall. I think Amazon even carries them now!!!!!!

Good news--Progresso Cream of Mushroom soup is gluten free--I use it a lot and love it. Actually, many Progresso soups are gluten-free--but of course not the noodle or barley varieties, and not the tomato basil, but I've had the lentil and some of the vegetable ones, and they're good--I've had no problems. And these you can find in the regular grocery store, and stock up when they go on sale. As always, read labels. Health Valley also has a cream of mushroom and a cream of chicke that are good and gluten-free. B) Good luck.

Thanks everyone!

I think I am going to try the Cause You're Special yellow mix and add the sprinkles - sounds good to me.

On the soup, glad to hear the news on Progresso, and thanks to all for the recipes as well.

      Headaches / Migraines and Hypoglycaemia

      By trents · Posted

      My migraines generally have their onset during the early morning hours as well. Presently, I am under siege with them, having headaches all but two days so far this month. I have looked at all the things reported to be common triggers (foods, sleep patterns, weather patterns, stress, etc.). Every time I think I start to see a pattern it proves not to pan out in the long run. I'm not sure it's any one thing but may, instead, be a combination of things that coalesce at certain times. It's very frustrating. The medication (sumatriptan or "Imatrix") is effective and is the only thing that will quell the pain. NSAIDs, Tylenol, even hydrocodone doesn't touch it. But they only give you 9 does of sumatriptan a month. And it doesn't help that medical science doesn't really know what causes migraines. They know some things about it but the root cause is still a mystery.

      GI DX celiac despite neg serology and no biopsy

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Just a gluten free diet is not enough.  Now you have to identify and replenish your malnutrition.  Celiac disease is co-morbid with malabsorption syndrome.  Low vitamin D, Low Thiamine caused Gastointeston Beriberi, low choline, low iodine are common the general population, and in newly diagnosed Celiacs in the western culture its is more likely.  It takes time to heal and you need to focus on vitamins and minerals.  Gluten free foods are not fortified like regular processed foods.

      Headaches / Migraines and Hypoglycaemia

      By Sarah Grace · Posted

      Dear Kitty Since March I have been following your recommendations regarding vitamins to assist with various issues that I have been experiencing.  To recap, I am aged 68 and was late diagnosed with Celiac about 12 years ago.  I had been experiencing terrible early morning headaches which I had self diagnosed as hypoglycaemia.  I also mentioned that I had issues with insomnia, vertigo and brain fog.   It's now one year since I started on the Benfotiamine 600 mg/day.  I am still experiencing the hypoglycaemia and it's not really possible to say for sure whether the Benfotiamine is helpful.  In March this year, I added B-Complex Thiamine Hydrochloride and Magnesium L-Threonate on a daily basis, and I am now confident to report that the insomnia and vertigo and brain fog have all improved!!  So, very many thanks for your very helpful advice. I am now less confident that the early morning headaches are caused by hypoglycaemia, as even foods with a zero a GI rating (cheese, nuts, etc) can cause really server headaches, which sometimes require migraine medication in order to get rid off.  If you are able to suggest any other treatment I would definitely give it a try, as these headaches are a terrible burden.  Doctors in the UK have very limited knowledge concerning dietary issues, and I do not know how to get reliable advice from them. Best regards,

      @rei.b,  I understand how frustrating starting a new way of eating can be.  I tried all sorts of gluten-free processed foods and just kept feeling worse.  My health didn't improve until I started the low histamine AIP diet.  It makes a big difference.   Gluten fits into opioid receptors in our bodies.  So, removing gluten can cause withdrawal symptoms and reveals the underlying discomfort.  SIBO can cause digestive symptoms.  SIBO can prevent vitamins from being absorbed by the intestines.  Thiamine insufficiency causes Gastrointestinal Beriberi (bloating, abdominal pain, nausea, diarrhea or constipation).  Thiamine is the B vitamin that runs out first because it can only be stored for two weeks.  We need more thiamine when we're sick or under emotional stress.  Gastric Beriberi is under recognised by doctors.  An Erythrocyte Transketolace Activity test is more accurate than a blood test for thiamine deficiency, but the best way to see if you're low in thiamine is to take it and look for health improvement.  Don't take Thiamine Mononitrate because the body can't utilize it well.  Try Benfotiamine.  Thiamine is water soluble, nontoxic and safe even at high doses.  I thought it was crazy, too, but simple vitamins and minerals are important.  The eight B vitamins work together, so a B Complex, Benfotiamine,  magnesium and Vitamin D really helped get my body to start healing, along with the AIP diet.  Once you heal, you add foods back in, so the AIP diet is worth doing for a few months. I do hope you'll consider the AIP diet and Benfotiamine.
