I Have gluten-free Cake In My Kitchen...

Before I went gluten-free, I couldn't have cared less about chocolate cake. Didn't like it. At all. Brownies either. Too much cakey chocolate going on. Add in chocolate frosting? OMG. Gross... I'd eat it to be polite if someone gave it to me, but that's it.

My best friend's son's birthday party is tomorrow and he's having chocolate cake with chocolate frosting.

I thought - Yea, not a problem. I'm a gluten-free pro.

I even bought a couple of half-size bunt pans so I can take a cake for me and the kids, and then wrap one up for the freezer. Because I don't want to waste it. Because I don't like chocolate cake. (Priss, priss.)

I baked them a couple hours ago and it's all I can do NOT to dive face-first into one (okay, both) of them.

They smell so freaking good I can hardly stand another minute of it. My daughter doesn't like cake and my son will probably only eat a few bites. So my plan is to bring extra frosting. :ph34r:

Anyone else have food that they never liked before that now they'd hide from their children in order to eat the whole thing?

Or is it just me? Which would be fine.

Cuz that means more cake for me.

:D

I have noticed something similar with nuts. I couldn't stand the taste of most of them. Peanut butter I LIVED off of, but tree nuts...ugh! Now however, I actually like tree nuts. Not like peanuts mind you, but still I can eat them, and I really like making nut milk with them, especially for use in milk shakes and smoothies.

Chocolate I never cared for, and something all chocolate like cake and frosting, or chocolate ice cream I still think is distasteful. Thing is, I don't want any so haven't tried, so I guess I really don't know if I'd like it. I do use carob for certain things, and that's fine in small amounts, so it's just like the way I'd use chocolate. Cookies, ice cream, etc with chocolate chips is ok, and I do like mint chocolate chips, but again in reasonably amounts, otherwise it's just overpowering IMO.

Yes, isn't this funny, strange? I feel the same way. I NEVER ate salad that was dressed, especially in a restaurant because the drown their salads. Would you like a little lettuce with that dressing? I always had the dressing on the side and put on sparingly. I ordered and ate and a whole dressed salad in a restaurant a few weeks ago. I couldn't believe what I was doing! My tolerance for certain things has increased. I think it's partly a blood sugar thing with me.

I am laughing so hard! Pre-celiac disease I couldn't give a hoot about chocolate...chips...m&m's and ice cream...now...LOOK OUT! It just comes over me...and I NEED it all!! Of course I have learning to modify slightly....I needed to drop the 20lb that came on as quick as the cravings...but...they are regular items in my pantry. No...you are not alone!

This is so funny--and yes--almonds! :D

I never cared for them, especially the way the raw ones felt in my mouth. I avoided anything with almond flavoring--too strong!

Now I slather almond butter over everything--and have been known to eat it right off the spoon. And almond milk--love the stuff :lol: It makes the best pancakes, pudding and cocoa.

Of all things, I never thought I'd crave almonds!

One thing which shouldn't be overlooked is nutrient deficiencies. Chocolate has a fair amount of magnesium, as well as potassium and other things. Almonds do also, and it is common for Celiacs to have a magnesium deficiency. Seems to me if a craving is because of deficiency, it would be for something the body is familiar with, not necessarily the best source.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By sleuth · Posted

      He is not just a psychiatrist.  He is also a neuroscientist.  And yes, I have already read those studies.   I agree with benfotiamine.  This is short term while glutened/inflammation occurs.  As I had already mentioned, these symptoms no longer exist when this phase passes.  And yes, I know that celiac is a disease of malnutrition.  We are working with a naturopath.

      Please do more research before you settle on nicotine. Dr. Paul New house is a psychiatrist.  His latest study involves the effect of nicotine patches on Late Life Depression which has reached no long term conclusions about the benefits.   Effects of open-label transdermal nicotine antidepressant augmentation on affective symptoms and executive function in late-life depression https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39009312/   I'm approaching the subject from the Microbiologist's point of view which shows nicotine blocks Thiamine B1 uptake and usage:   Chronic Nicotine Exposure In Vivo and In Vitro Inhibits Vitamin B1 (Thiamin) Uptake by Pancreatic Acinar Cells https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26633299/   While supplementation with thiamine in the form Benfotiamine can protect from damage done by  nicotine: Benfotiamine attenuates nicotine and uric acid-induced vascular endothelial dysfunction in the rat https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18951979/   I suggest you study the beneficial effects of Thiamine (Benfotiamine and TTFD) on the body and mental health done by Dr. Derrick Lonsdale and Dr. Chandler Marrs.  Dr. Lonsdale had studied thiamine over fifty years.   Hiding in Plain Sight: Modern Thiamine Deficiency https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8533683/ I suggest you read their book Thiamine Deficiency Disease, Dysautonomia, and High Calorie Malnutrition.     Celiac Disease is a disease of malabsorption causing malnutrition.  Thiamine and benfotiamine: Focus on their therapeutic potential https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10682628/

      Thanks for your response.  Everything you mentioned he is and has been doing.  Tobacco is not the same as nicotine.  Nicotine, in the form of a patch, does not cause gastrointestinal irritation.  Smoking does. He is not smoking.  Please do your research before stating false information. Dr. Paul Newhouse has been doing research on nicotine the last 40 years at Vanderbilt University Medical Center.

      Im so frustrated and still getting the run around trying to reprove my celiac disease which my past primary ignored for 25 years.I understand that theres a ray of medical that doctors are limited too but not listening and telling the patient ( me) that im not as sensitive as I think and NOT celiac!Correction Mr white coat its not what I think but for cause and affect and past test that are not sticking in my medical records.I get sick violently with foods consumed, not eating the foods will show Im fabulous. After many blood draws and going through doctors I have the HLA- DQ2 positive which I read in a study that Iran conducted that the severity in celiac is in that gene.Im glutenfree and dealing with related issues which core issue of celiac isn't addressed. My skin, right eye, left leg diagestive issues affected. I have high blood pressure because im in pain.Im waisting my time on trying to reprove that Im celiac which is not a disease I want, but unfortunately have.It  has taken over my life personally and professionally. How do I stop getting medically gaslight and get the help needed to bounce back if I ever do bounce back to normal? I thought I was in good care with " celiac specialist " but in her eyes Im good.Im NOT.Sibo positive, IBS, Chronic Fatigue just to name a few and its all related to what I like to call a ghost disease ( celiac) since doctors don't seem to take it seriously.

      @Martha Mitchell, your reaction to the lens implant with gluten sounds like it could be an allergic reaction rather than a celiac reaction. It is possible for a celiac to be also allergic to gluten as it is a protein component in wheat, barley and rye.
