The shelf life of baking powder is about 6 months once opened if I remember right. It can go bad and loose it's rising power and for the same reason premade mixes that have baking powder in them can fail if they've sat too long before being used. There is a way to check your baking powder to see if it's active still but I don't remember how. :( Overmixing eggs can cause things to fall and sometimes if the chemistry is a bit off, the baking powder can activate and deflate before things make it to the oven.

As missy'smom said...overmixing the eggs.

It's from a gluten site, gluten-free recipes could be different.

Some of my recipes have 1/4 tsp. baking soda in them.

Just a thought...could be something to do with the acid in the orange juice...I don't know.

The muffin ingredients are heavy and may not work so well with gluten-free flours.

Other posters may have some great ideas.

It seems like there's too much liquid ingredients for the amount of flour in the muffins. I'd try either reducing the oil and juice to a 1/4 of a cup each or throwing in more flour. If you want more orange taste, try putting in some grated orange peel.

I'm not familiar with the muffin mix, but make sure you have a tsp of xantham gum in there.

Another trick that I've found really helpful to make your muffins stick together and be more, well, muffin-like is to put in a tsp or so of unflavored gelatin. Knox is gluten-free.

Definitely add the baking soda. Also, if your apples are very cold, they'll slow the baking process. And also agreed that the batter sounds a little wet, especially considering the apples, which will also add moisture.

Compare your recipe with this one:

https://www.celiac.com/gluten-free/index.php?showtopic=51754

then adjust yours a little bit each time until it works.

Sounds like too much liquid in the batter and too many additions. Oven could be too hot. Don't overmix, don't over-cream. Once you have your batter ready don't let it sit too long - all the CO2 will escape.

Hope you are having better luck!

      In general with pharmaceutical products cross-contamination is a much lower risk.

      Here is more info about how to do a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood panel, or for an endoscopy: and this recent study recommends 4-6 slices of wheat bread per day:

      Just so you'll know, once you have been gluten-free for any length of time, it will invalidate testing for celiac disease.

      Yes. I have not been tested for celiac. It took forever to get diagnosed with Fibromyalgia. lol. I have an appointment with my regular GP later this month and will convey my findings on improved symptoms and see what his thoughts are. Thank you.

      @Grahamsnaturalworld, It's never too late.   Have you been checked for Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth?  SIBO can cause ongoing symptoms.  Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS) and Histamine Intolerance (HIT) can also be the cause of ongoing symptoms.  The AIP diet can help with these by starving out SIBO bacteria and calming the immune system. Do you include dairy in your diet?  Casein in dairy can cause an autoimmune response the same as to gluten.  Have you been checked for lactose intolerance?  Some people lose the ability to produce the enzyme, lactase, needed to digest lactose, the sugar in dairy because the villi where the lactase enzyme is made are damaged.  AIP diet excludes dairy. Do you include grains in your diet?  Gluten free alternative grains and ancient grains can be inflammatory and cause symptoms.  Some people with Celiac react to corn and oats.  The AIP diet excludes all grains.  Lectins in grains can be inflammatory and cause symptoms. Do you eat nightshades (tomatoes, potatoes, peppers, and eggplant).  This family of plants produce glycoalkaloids, chemicals that promote Leaky Gut Syndrome.  The AIP diet excludes nightshades.   Are you on any medications?  Some medications can cause gastrointestinal symptoms.  Do you take any supplements?  Some herbal teas and supplements can cause digestive symptoms.  Medications for diabetes, antidepressants, and other pharmaceuticals can cause digestive symptoms as side effects. Have you been checked for nutritional deficiencies?  Malabsorption of essential nutrients can occur with continued symptoms.  Deficiencies in Niacin, Thiamine, and other B vitamins can cause digestive symptoms.  Gastrointestinal Beriberi and Pellagra are often overlooked by doctors because they are not familiar with nutritional deficiency disease symptoms.  Nutritional deficiencies can worsen over time as stores inside the body are depleted.   Have your doctors checked for all these?   I had a horrible time getting my symptoms under control.  I had to answer all these questions myself.  Yes, it's frustrating and exasperating because doctors don't have to live with these symptoms everyday.
