So ihave a friend who is allergic to gluten. And its her birthday. Ive offered to make her a cake. I have a gluten free recipe so the cake is no problem, but i want to decorate it and have no idea if the ingredients (IN the ingredients) have gluten in them....I know that vanilla extract contains gluten but I hear that mcCormik vanilla doesnt.....so i think im good on that.

I got a list of things from her boyfriend that she can't eat, but i can't tell if these are in the recipe. Can someone help me?

My icing recipe:

powdered sugar

salt

vanilla (use clear if possible to keep icing white)

milk

water

Light Corn Syrup

what he told me she can't eat is:

Dextrin

Malt or Malt Vinegar

Monosodium glutamate

Soy sauce

Carmel color

Modified food starch or modified starch

Any idea if the above recipe is safe??

looks safe to me. Just be sure to read the ingredients and make sure it does not say that is was manufactured in a plant that also processes wheat.

There are gluten free frosting mixes in health food stores along with gluten free cake mixes. Remember, you can't use one of your baking pans, better to use a throwaway aluminum pan.

If she can do dairy, a really good frosting is 1 package cream cheese, 1 container Ricemellow creme. It's the health-food version of Fluff, it's gluten free. I love that frosting.

That is SO nice of you to take up such a task like that!!! I know many of my friends would never even think about making me a cake and go through the trouble to check all iffy ingredients. You seem like a great friend. =)

Well thank you. Yeah and i am making an exceptional gluten free cake. It is an AMAZING recipe, its a flourless cake and literally tastes like a chocolate cheesecake. It is soo good that i even make it for NON celiac people lol.

I wasn't really concerned about the cake because i know taht is safe, b ut i want to decorate it with cornelli lace and stars from my royal icing recipe. Otherwise its kind of a boring looking cake.

She better eat it though! After all this trouble!!!

Vanilla extract does not contain gluten. Just for future reference. :)

      If you don't like prunes, Figs are rich in fiber, with 3-5 dried figs providing about 5 grams.

      Fiber Supplement

      Thanks, I do include chia seeds and ground flax seed in my diet to help as well but on days that I'm not close to my target of 30 grams of fiber, I would add the Benefiber. My IBS-C was much better with both natural foods and the supplement so I will continue to search for another natural supplement that is not based on wheat to have when needed. Thanks

      So, since total iga 646, was high ,  was tTg iga even tested? It is not uncommon to test negative for antibodies and even biopsies to still have Celiac Disease.  Many on this forum have gone 10 years testing negative and surviving multiple misdiagnoses before finally being diagnosed as celiac. If trial GFD after all the negative tests are concluded brings improvement, will you continue to eat gluten and suffering since the doctor says you are not sick? Your list of symptoms, mostly unrelated to each other, certainly fits the pattern of celiac disease.  Do you really have nine different diseases, all with cause unknown?

      Welcome @Trish G to the forum. Hard or lumpy stools and infrequent bowel movements.  My brother likes Phillips Stool Softener, Ducolate Sodium.   Just a question. Was the benefiber helping? Benefiber is only 3 grams per dose so lots of other foods can supply that.  Nutrition label DV for fiber is 28 g. 5 prunes, dehydrated plums, has 3 grams of fiber and additionally 290 grams of potassium. Potassium is good for IBS-C because it prommotes muscle contractions in the intestines.  Low potassium contributes to constipation and bloating.  Most of us don't eat the RDA for potassium (2600 women, 3400 men) and the DV (Daily Value used on nutrition labels) is 4700 mg a day for men, women and children. When I complained of constipation due to my BP meds my doctor recommened prune juice without hesitation,  When I bother to eat Prunes or plums it works.   I think the fruit is better for you than the juice for addition nutrients.
