What's the best gluten-free chocolate cake mix out there? I'm looking for a moist cake that has 'normal cake' texture. I am also dairy and corn allergic, but if you just know of a good gluten-free mix I'd love to know what it is and then I can check if its dairy and corn-free too. Thanks everyone!

We like the Namaste mix. It's dairy-free and other allergen free too, not sure about corn-free.

How corn sensitive are you? Can you have xanthan gum?

Namaste has my vote here, too. I actually haven't met a cake mix I didn't like yet, but Namaste's probably my favorite and it has the bonus of being free of many different allergens.

I made a cake with Bob's Red Mill gluten-free chocolate cake mix a couple of weeks ago. I used a non-dairy margarine, because my sister is also lactose-intolerant. Used a store-bought frosting that was also non-dairy (I don't remember the brand, maybe Pillsbury? It's the white one with sprinkles). The cake turned out FABULOUS!!!! It tasted great, I was so pleased. You should be able to find BRM cake mix at any grocery store.

We haven't tried many so I don't know if it's "the best", but we like Kinnikinnick.

I love Bob's Red Mill chocolate cake mix. NO RICE!! That's important to me. :) Make some butter cream frosting from the recipe on the back of the Ghiradelli cocoa power can, and you have the best chocolate cake I've ever made, gluten or not! My whole family demands this cake now for any occasion. :) :)

I'll vote for Namaste. My non gluten-free family loves it too! Makes great muffins as well.

We love Namaste, plus each package makes (2) 9" layers, so it's equivalent to a regular cake mix. Some other gluten-free cake mixes are almost as expensive but only make one layer. I bought a sampler of flavors from Namaste, but now buy the chocolate cake mix from A m a z o n dot COM (6 bags per order).

Namaste has my vote. Cherrybrook Kitchen also has a good one too.

      This is FANTASTIC--especially that they are recognising barley and (potentially) oats as sources of gluten/contamination! Now if only we can get labeling guidelines to clarify "spices" and "natural flavors" for those of us with other severe allergies.

      What are your daily meals? Guilty pleasure snacks? Protein bars? I feel when looking for gluten free foods they are filled with sugar cholesterol. Looking for healthy gluten-free protein bars.

      Labs ? Awaiting in person follow up with my GI

      Unfortunately, there is presently no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out. NCGS is thought to be much more common than celiac disease. We know that celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder but the mechanism of NCGS is less clear. Both call for an elimination of gluten from the diet.

      Labs ? Awaiting in person follow up with my GI

      Thanks for your reply Trents…most appreciated. I am unfamiliar with celiac labs terminology so I wanted to know if the presence of HLA variants (DA:101, DA:105, DQB1:0301 and DQB1:0501) that the labs detected had any merit in predisposing one to be more sensitive to gluten/carbs than the general population? Also, I found what you said about N...

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      Thanks bumped it up and now take all 3 vitamins 2 capsules each with the super b complex at breakfast. I will give it some time to see if I notice a difference. I am going to track my eating daily diary on a myfitness pal app to see if the "claimed" gluten free foods bother me or not.

      Thanks for your reply Trents…most appreciated.  I am unfamiliar with celiac labs terminology so I wanted to know if the presence of HLA variants (DA:101, DA:105, DQB1:0301 and DQB1:0501) that the labs detected had any merit in predisposing one to be more sensitive to gluten/carbs than the general population?  Also,  I found what you said about NCGS very interesting and I appreciate you mentioning that.  I’ve worked hard to research and advocate for myself with my Hematologist and now with a new GI, since my bowel surgery and to maintain my Vitamin B12 health concurrent with keeping my levels of Iron in the optimal range. I’ve been tested for SIBO (do not have it), biopsy showed negative for HPylori, and have had Fecal studies done (nothing showed up) and I understand how a loss of a large amount of bowel could be highly impacting re: SIBO, malabsorption and motility issues. So I’ve managed pretty well diet and elimination-wise until just recently. That said, this new problem with extreme bloating, distention and upper girth, NAFLD just occured over the last 4 months so it is new for me and I thought celiac might be a possible issue. I’ll probably just continue on in this less gluten/carbs seem to be better for me and see how reintroducing certain foods go.  Thanks again.

      Yeast extract

      By JoJo0611 · Posted

      Please can anyone help. I was diagnosed on 23rd December and I am trying my best to get my head around all the things to look out for. I have read that yeast extract is not to be eaten by coeliacs. Why? And is this all yeast extract. Or is this information wrong. Thanks.
