Huncan Hines / Pillsbury Frostings

I baked a Pamela's Chocolate Cake - with added chocolate chips because you can't have too much chocolate. ;) I bought some Duncan Hines Dark Chocolate Fudge Frosting for it because the ingredients don't raise any red flags. My daughter wants to use Pillsbury Vanilla Funfetti, and those ingredients don't raise any red flags either.

Anyone have any experience with either of these?

I called Duncan Hines. They assured me their frostings were gluten-free except for any with cookies, coconut, buttercream, or whipped. The Dark chocolate is our FAVORITE!!!!!!!!! I don't know about the other. I stick with Duncan Hines dark chocolate or make my own cream cheese frosting.

Enjoy!

Duncan Hines has changed formulas apparently, when did you call? I found this and lots of similar replies:

Also, Lani K. Thompson from the Clan Thompson lists emailed: "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."

Unless they changed again, which is possible, it is something we need to stay away from.

Pillsbury is a General Mills brand so they will list gluten sources on their labels.

      Virus, celiac disease or both?

      By trents · Posted

      First, I hope you know that celiac disease is not an allergy to gluten. It is an autoimmune disease reaction that is triggered by gluten consumption. Allergies don't trigger immunes responses whereby the body attacks it's own tissues but this is what is actually happening with celiac disease and what distinguishes celiac disease from NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity).  Second, though I think your question other question has already been answered. Since the tTG-IGA antibody test is only 90 to 98% specific, elevated values for this test will be have non-celiac disease causes in 2 to 8 out of 100 cases. I realize that is addressing your question in a general way but the...

      Virus, celiac disease or both?

      By Shining My Light · Posted

      @trents This info is so helpful and I’m absorbing it all. My blood tests were almost a month ago and I feel like it came out of left field. I never even heard of term “silent celiac.” I thought celiac gave you violent diarrhea when you consumed a tiny bit of gluten. That’s it. Not that it damages your small intestine, not that it made the absorption of vitamins and minerals compromised. None of it. To me it was just an allergy to gluten.  My close family and friends think I’m crazy for even giving it a second thought because “no symptoms, no worries.”  It’s unfortunately hard for me to let something go that I don’t know enough about. Therefore all the research came into play.  I’m glad I’ve joined...

      Probably celiac but also confused

      Lot's of folks would trade places with you with regard to the unintentional weight loss. Seriously, though, I would be concerned about vitamin and mineral depletion due to malabsorption in the small bowel. One thing you can do now to address that which will not jeopardize the accuracy of further testing for celiac disease would be to start taking some high potency vitamin and mineral supplements. Make sure they are all gluten free if you will continue to use them - after diagnosis, that is. Wheat starch is sometimes used as a filler in pills. A multivitamin may not be potent enough. So, I would go for a B-complex, magnesium glycinate (the form of magnesium is important for good...

      I'm 5'2" so it's weight I could afford to lose. I guess what's concerning is that it's not on purpose, I haven't been active because I don't have much energy, and it's been steadily going down since I started keeping track of it. So I'm not too worried about where I'm at right now, but it's something I'm keeping an eye on.

      A classic case of more than one medical problem going on at a time. We often forget that can happen. Are you concerned about your weight loss? Is your current weight too thin for your height, gender and general build?
