I thought I had read that Duncan Hines Cream Home-style frosting are gluten free, but I have been seeing conflicting messages on this board. Has anyone checked recently? Because I am really, really in the mood for frosting.

I got this from Clan Thompson:

January 24, 2007:

Duncan Hines told me today (January 24, 2007) that they no longer consider any of their frostings to be gluten free because they are manufactured in a facility that shares lines with gluten containing products. Also, they would give no information about specific flavors of their frosting when I spoke with them on the phone. They just emphasize that no matter what the ingredient panel says, none of the frostings are gluten free.Food SmartList subscribers should note this change.

Sorry - :(

Now I had heard that Pilsbury is gluten-free . . . can anyone confirm this?

Thanks.

I guess I just get to watch everybody else make cupcakes :-(.

According to the websites I have seen, Pillsbury is still gluten free. But unfortunately, the store closed 15 minutes ago and all I have is Duncan Hines.

It's so frustrating. When I called them a couple months ago they gave me the list. I doubt their manufacturing processes have changed, just their answers. BTW their gluten free list was creamy home style flavors except butter cream and coconut pecan.

Eriella, Frosting is pretty easy to make we did it all the time in the 'old' days. It is just powdered sugar with vanilla and milk slowly added in until it is smooth and creamy. Cream Cheese frosting is just the previous ingredients with cream cheese added before the milk . You should be able to find an actual recipe pretty easily. That said if those cupcakes are not gluten-free you are better off just watching anyway.

I agree with ravenwoodglass.

I use 4 tbs of softened butter, 1 egg yolk and add 1 cup of confectioners sugar. Smash it all together and add maybe 1 tsp of milk to thin it if it needs it. You can make it really fluffy if you use a mixer at the end. You will never go back to the canned icing.

To make chocolate just add in some cocoa powder. I normally double this recipe.

The egg yolk makes it richer but you can leave it out.

The hardest part is having to wait for the butter to get to room temperature. :)

      Celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis has taken Me from Me

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Have faith, you will survive. I get mine from Pipingrock.com.  500 capsules of 10,000 IU for $22.  That is almost two years worth for me.  250 caps 5000 IU for $6.69 if you only take 5,000 a day.  It's like half the price of Walmart.

      Outgrow celiac?

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Testing can't alone be trusted.  Else why would it take so many years of testing and retesting and misdiagnosis to finally be told, yes you have Celiac Disease. As to what to eat, I like pre 1950 style food.  Before the advent of TV dinners.  Fresh food is better for you, and cooking from scratch is cheaper.  Watch Rachel Ray's 30 Minute Meals for how to cook.  Keep in mind that she is not gluten free, but her techniques are awesome.  Just use something else instead of wheat, barley, rye. Dr Fuhrman is a ex cardiologist.  His book Eat to Live and Dr Davis' book Wheatbelly were instrumental in my survival.

      If you have DH you will likely also want to avoid iodine, which is common in seafoods and dairy products, as it can exacerbate symptoms in some people. This article may also be helpful as it offers various ways to relieve the itch--thanks for the tip about Dupixent, and I've added it to the article:

      I just want to clarify that what I posted is a category of research summaries we've done over the years, and nearly each one shows that there is definitely a connection to celiac disease and migraine headaches. The latest study said: "the study did indicate some potential causal associations between celiac disease and migraine with or without aura, as well as between migraine without aura and ulcerative colitis...this study did not find evidence of a shared genetic basis..." Anyway, there is definitely a connection, and you can go through more of the articles here if you're interested: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/celiac-disease-amp-related-diseases-and-disorders/migraine-headaches-and-celiac-disease/

      Celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis has taken Me from Me

      By SusanJ · Posted

      Two months ago, I started taking Dupixent for dermatitis herpetiformis and it has completely cleared it up. I can't believe it! I have had a terrible painful, intensely itchy rash for over a year despite going fully gluten-free. See if your doctor will prescribe Dupixent. It can be expensive but I am getting it free. When the dermatitis herpetiformis was bad I could not do anything. I just lay in bed covered in ice packs to ease the pain/itching and using way too Clobetasol. Dapsone is also very good for dermatitis herpetiformis (and it is generic). It helped me and the results were immediate but it gave me severe anemia so the Dupixent is better for me. Not sure if it works for everyone. I cannot help with the cause of your stress but from experience I am sure the severe stress is making the celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis worse. Very difficult for you with having children to care for and you being so sick. Would this man be willing to see a family therapist with you? He may be angry at you or imagine that your illness is a psychosomatic excuse not to take care of him. A therapist might help even if he won't go with you. Also do you have any family that you could move in with (with the kids) for a short time to get away? A break may be good for you both.
