We're having a little birthday party for my daughter. The cake needs to be gluten and dairy free for my daughter and sugar free for one of her friends whose diabetic. Do any great tasting recipes exist that meet all these requirements? Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

I'm actually looking for the exact same thing! I'm having a graduation party and want to bake a cake for myself. LoL. I've done it before, I actually used a "Cravings Place" mix. They have a "Create your own Cake" mix that has NOTHING in it...so i'd just google them and you can order a package online.

Has anyone else found any other mixes?

# 1/2 cup cocoa 1/2 cup boiling water

# 150g dairy free margarine

# 1 1/4 cups splenda

# 1 tbsp vanilla

# 3 size 7 eggs

# 360g Gluten Free Goodies Cake and Biscuit Mix (or gluten-free flour mix)

# 3 level tsp Gluten Free Goodies Baking Powder

# 1/2 tsp baking soda

# 3/4 cup soy milk

Mix cocoa and boiling water and stir well. Leave to cool while you assemble the rest of the cake.

Cream margarine and sugar with the vanilla.

Add eggs one at a time, beating w

ell after each addition.

Add flour, baking powder and baking soda along with milk, and mix well.

Add cocoa mix and blend thoroughly.

Bake in a lined 25cm round cake tin or 20x30cm greased and floured glass baking dish for 45-60 minutes at 180C, or until a skewer comes out clean.

Frosting:

Ingredients

1/3 c unsweetened cocoa

2/3 c splenda

1 egg

2 T cold water or brewed coffee

2 heaping T margarine

1 t instant coffee

Directions

Mix the cocoa, splenda, egg and water or coffee in a 1-quart saucepan. Place over low heat and cook, but do NOT bring to a boil. Remove from heat when first bubbles appear. Cool. Add the margarine and instant coffee; beat with an electric mixer until very light and fluffy. Yields sufficient frosting for 9-inch cake or two 9-inch layers.

Hope that helps! I have not taste tested either though, hehe. You might try finding pre-made mixes online although I had alot fo trouble finding a frosting that was both gluten, dairy AND sugar free.

It's a false notion that diabetics can't eat sugar. We can. I am one. It all boils down to the total amount of carbs in the food. Cake is usually made of flour and that's carbs. So putting something else in as a sweetener, such as honey, isn't going to affect the total carbs of that cake any if it still contains flour.

Using Splenda may lessen the amount of carbs in the cake slightly. But if you are going to do this, make sure to tell the diabetic (or the diabetic's parents) that you used a sugar substitute because if they inject insulin to cover that piece of cake you could be sending them into a hypo if they thought it was a sugary sweet. In fact you should ask the parents if the cake needs to be sugarless at all. Many diabetics are able to work a small amount of sweets into their diets on special occasions.

This is not a cake, but a brownie recipe. I came in at the last few minutes of Martha Stewart's show today and the founder of Babycakes Bakery in NY was on making a recipe called cinnamon toasties. I looked on-line and found the recipe for that and a brownie recipe. They are both gluten, dairy and egg free. It calls for sugar or agave nectar.

I just wanted to agree with Julie. My entire maternal side of the family has diabetes and they all can eat sugar "in moderation". So one slice of cake would be ok - as long as her family knows ahead of time there is sugar in it.

I can't say whether or not this is good but might be worth trying:

      Unusual bright yellow but odourless discharge

      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
