Hi All

After wearing the IBS label for about 10 years, then having my gallbladder removed, in addition to having my asthma worsen and experiencing new symptoms...I feel better after being on the gluten free diet that my new doctor put me on about a week ago. THANK GOD! I haven't had stomach cramps in almost a week!

My birthday is this weekend and I plan on still staying on the gluten free diet; I feel better, might as well. Only thing is, my husband wants me to find a cake recipe, a gluten free one.

I would love a strawberry or lemon gluten free cake (with little to know dairy, as too much makes me sick). Do you all have any great recipe suggestions?

Thanks so much!

Sophie

Hi Sophie and welcome :)

If you can get your hands on one, get the "Cause Your Special" Lemon Cake Mix. I made one for the first time last week and it was fantastic. The texture was good and the lemon flavor was just right--not fake at all and very light.

I frosted it with homemade buttercream frosting--my non gluten-free husband said it was the best gluten-free cake he's had yet :D

Have a nice birthday!!

My Grand-Aunt Helen used to make me her famous lemon-jello cake every year for my birthday. Now I need to try to duplicate it. :)

I think it was a basic old-fashioned butter pound cake that she would punch holes in (after it cooled) and drizzle with her brown sugar glaze. The topping was made with a package of lemon jello dissolved in 1 c boiling water with a tablespoon of butter, a tsp. of lemon extract and 3/4 c brown sugar. I think she may have used rum extract in there somewhere,too (or maybe some rum in the cake.) Pour over the top of the cake, a little at a time, until it soaks the glaze all in. Refrigerate just until set.

Anyone has a good Gluten-free pound cake recipe? I NEED to make this now.

I ran across this Almond Pound cake the other day buy I haven't tried it. It takes 2 cups almond flour in case you might be interested.

      @KathyR37, I would suspect that in addition to gluten intolerance, you have other food intolerances/sensitivities. This is very common in the celiac community. The most common offenders are oats, dairy, soy, corn and eggs with dairy and oats being the big two. Have you considered this? Have you tried keeping a food diary to detect patterns?

      thank you for your advice. I have always taken them and I use Stonehedge because they are in a glass bottle, but don't have to be refrigerated. I also like they are 3rd party tested and state gluten free. But you never know if something better has come alone over the years.

      I am new here but celiac disease is not new to me. I was diagnosed with it at age 60. At the time I weighed a whopping 89 pounds. I was so ignorant to celiac so I buried myself in learning all about it and looking for food I could eat. I lost so much weight and stayed sick all the time. So to combat the sickness I was give all sorts of meds for loose bowels...

I make sure that my utensils are free of gluten and clean after using them for other food. I use non-porous pots and pans and  gloves when cooking for them. One huge problem I have is a gag reflex out of this world and if something doesn't taste good it is not going down. Most commercially made breads and such taste like old cardboard.Pastas are about the same. I did find one flour that I like and use it regularly, but it is so expensive! All gluten free food is way more expensive. I only eat twice a day because I cannot afford to buy all that. We live on a very low income so my food purchases are quite limited.

      What you've described—the severe weight loss, the cycle of medications making things worse, and the profound fear of eating before leaving the house—is a heavy burden to carry for 15 years. It is absolutely not your fault. While everyone's journey with celiac is different, the struggles with the learning curve, social isolation, and dietary grief are feelings many in the community know all too well. Your question about whether you should just eat what you want and manage the symptoms is a heartbreaking one, born from years of frustration. It's crucial to know that the diarrhea is a sign of ongoing damage to your small intestine from gluten, and simply managing the symptom with Imodium doesn't stop that internal harm or the risk of other complications. The fact that you are still getting sick within an hour of eating, even while trying to be gluten-free, is a huge red flag that something isn't right. This could be due to cross-contamination in your kitchen (e.g., using a shared toaster, colander, or condiment jars), hidden gluten in foods, or the possibility of another concurrent condition like refractory celiac disease. Don't give up!  This article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful (be sure to also read the comments section.):

      I am new here but celiac disease is not new to me. I was diagnosed with it at age 60. At the time I weighed a whopping 89 pounds. I was so ignorant to celiac so I buried myself in learning all about it and looking for food I could eat. I lost so much weight and stayed sick all the time. So to combat the sickness I was give all sorts of meds for loose bowels and vomiting. All that just made me sicker. Eventually I chucked it all and went back to eating like I had all my life. Now I am from the south and biscuits and gravy are a big part of our food, as are breaded foods, pasta, and sandwich bread. Through the years I would try to do the gluten free thing again and am doing it now. It has not helped any. Within and hour of eating I have to run to the bathroom. I am now 75 and am wondering if I should just forget it and eat what I like, take Immodium and live the best I can. I cannot eat before going anywhere for fear of embarrassing myself. Family and church dinners are out of the question unless I eat and run straight home. I am so frustrated I just want to sit down and cry or throw something. Does everyone go through all this?
