The Ever-elusive Yellow Cake Mix


cmom

Recommended Posts

cmom Contributor

I have tried for over a year to find gluten-free yellow cake mix in the health food stores. I even looked at WHole Foods the last time we were in Nashville, TN and they didn't carry it. I did order the Cause You're Special brand online once, but that gets expensive. My question is: I have several recipes that I would like to adapt to gluten-free that call for yellow cake mix. I do have a recipe for yellow cake from scratch, but if the recipe calls for the dry cake mix, how much of the scratch recipe would I use?

You would think that yellow cake is a common item; I can find every flavor but that, even lemon. Go figure!!! :angry:

Annalise Roberts has a delicious yellow cake recipe in her book gluten-free Great Bakes.

It might depend on the Whole Foods, because the last time I was in Birmingham I picked one up of the Whole Foods brand, 365 something -- I don't remember. The only downside is that it makes one layer, so you'd probably need two ($3.99) boxes to make a recipe calling for a cake mix. :( Maybe you could request the nearest Whole Foods to carry it?

      Hey Julie! I was in a similar situation before my biopsy and my gastro said Tylenol was fine. Just avoid ibuprofen or anything anti-inflammatory until you're cleared. Hope your surgery goes smoothly!

      I don't see how cornstarch could alter the test results. Where did you read that?

      For pain relief I take a combination of Thiamine (Benfotiamine), Pyridoxine B 6, and Cobalamine B12.  The combination of these three vitamins has analgesic effects.  I have back pain and this really works.  The B vitamins are water soluble and easily excreted.   Hope this helps!  Keep us posted on your results!

      Welcome to the forum, @Xravith. I experienced similar symptoms before my diagnosis.  Mine were due to the loss of vitamins and minerals, essential nutrients we must get from our food.  With Celiac Disease, the intestinal lining, made up of thousands of villi, gets damaged and cannot absorb essential vitamins and minerals, especially the eight B vitamins.  The loss of Thiamine B 1 can cause muscle loss, inability to gain weight, edema (swelling), fatigue, migraines and palpitations.  Low thiamine can cause Gastrointestinal Beriberi with symptoms of nausea, abdominal pain and bloating.   Thiamine is only stored for a couple of weeks, so if you don't absorb enough from food daily, as the thiamine deficiency worsens physical symptoms gradually worsen.  If you're eating lots of carbs (like gluten containing foods usually do), you need more thiamine to process them (called high calorie malnutrition).  Thiamine works with all the other B vitamins, so if you're low in one, you're probably getting low in the others, too, and minerals like iron, magnesium, zinc, and calcium, as well as Vitamin D..  Talk to your doctor about checking for nutritional deficiencies.  Most doctors rarely recognize vitamin deficiency symptoms, especially in thiamine. Get a DNA test to see if you carry any Celiac genes.  If you do not have genetic markers for Celiac, it's probably IBS.  If you do have genetic markers for Celiac, it's probably Celiac.  I was misdiagnosed with IBS for years before my Celiac diagnosis.   Keep us posted on your progress. P. S. Deficiency in thiamine can cause false negatives on antibody tests, as can diabetes and anemia.
