The choices that I have are Whole Foods 365 White, 1-2-3 Gluten-free Yellow, or Glutano(white or yellow?). Pamela's is available but out of the running due to nuts. Namaste, we like alot but it is a bit heavy and alternative tasting for these kids I think. Any comments on the 3 choices? Thank you! Kiddo's B'day is Saturday and we had a plan for the cake but it didn't work out. :( so we're all bummed and I'm just not up to making one from scratch. Is there any hope that one of these mixes is good and good enough for gluten eating kids? I will be making homemade chocolate frosting that should be yummy and serving icecream so hopefully that will cover any minor differences.

I just made cupcakes this weekend for a friend's birthday with Cherrybrook Farms chocolate cake mix and their vanilla icing. They were very good (and I think their stuff is free of all allergens, so that may be another option for you!) One of my gluten eating friends said that it reminded her of a "yankee doodle" snack cake, in that it's a little more dense than a regular cake.

However, I've heard wonderful things about 1-2-3 Gluten Free... some here have said that it is far and away the best cake mix, but I have yet to try. I just don't make cake that often!

Good luck to ya!

Our fav would be Pamela's for a mix! WholeFoods is actually Gluten Free Pantry with a Whole Foods label.....

Betty Crocker mixes may well be very good but I'm guessing it has loads of trans fats.....

123 is good but again not as light as Pamela's.....

Annalise Roberts cookbook has wonderful moist, tender cakes & cupcakes.....very easy as well.

if wholefoods brand really is equivalent of gluten fre pantry then it would easily win my vote. i LOVE gluten free pantry cakes. they are SO good. i baked the white cake for our wedding and my husband ate half of it! and the chocolate is always in my cabinet because i just love cake. its not dense, and i cant tell you there's much of a difference between this and regular cake except mine have turned out a bit drier than is typcal for gluten cake. but its still yummy!

i recommend gluten free pantry with creamy fudge pillsbury frosting (if i remember rigt they are good about labeling allergens but always check it out for yourself)

good luck with the birthday!

Thank you all for your input. Kiddo had a great 11th(1st gluten-free) birthday! I used the Pamela's after seeing several recommend it and double checking the ingredients on the website to find that it didn't contain almond meal as I thought it would. Silly me. Should have checked first. The kids didn't even know it was gluten-free and one kid had two pieces. Dh even said it was good and he doesn't like cake much! I was glad that I bought two packages though as the first one sank in the middle after baking :o It warned not to overbake so I baked for the shortest time listed and it looked fine and toothpick came out clean but minutes later it was not looking so good. So I baked the second for the full time listed and didn't mix as much and it was perfect.

      Severe severe mouth pain

      By Russ H · Posted

      Hi Charlie, You sound like you have been having a rough time of it. Coeliac disease can cause a multitude of skin, mouth and throat problems. Mouth ulcers and enamel defects are well known but other oral conditions are also more common in people with coeliac disease: burning tongue, inflamed and swollen tongue, difficulty swallowing, redness and crusting in the mouth corners, and dry mouth to name but some. The link below is for paediatric dentistry but it applies to adults too.  Have you had follow up for you coeliac disease to check that your anti-tTG2 antibodies levels have come down? Are you certain that you not being exposed to significant amounts of gluten? Are you taking a PPI for your Barrett's oesophagus? Signs of changes to the tongue can be caused by nutritional deficiencies, particularly iron, B12 and B9 (folate) deficiency. I would make sure to take a good quality multivitamin every day and make sure to take it with vitamin C containing food - orange juice, broccoli, cabbage etc.  Sebaceous hyperplasia is common in older men and I can't find a link to coeliac disease.   Russ.   Oral Manifestations in Pediatric Patients with Coeliac Disease – A Review Article

      Severe severe mouth pain

      By cristiana · Posted

      Hi @Charlie1946 You are very welcome.   I agree wholeheartedly with @knitty kitty:  "I wish doctors would check for nutritional deficiencies and gastrointestinal issues before prescribing antidepressants." I had a type of tingling/sometimes pain in my cheek about 2 years after my diagnosis.  I noticed it after standing in cold wind, affecting  me after the event - for example, the evening after standing outside, I would feel either tingling or stabbing pain in my cheek.   I found using a neck roll seemed to help, reducing caffeine, making sure I was well-hydrated, taking B12 and C vitamins and magnesium.  Then when the lockdowns came and I was using a facemask I realised that this pain was almost entirely eliminated by keeping the wind off my face.  I think looking back I was suffering from a type of nerve pain/damage.  At the time read that coeliacs can suffer from nerve damage caused by nutritional deficiencies and inflammation, and there was hope that as bodywide healing took place, following the adoption of a strict gluten free diet and addressing nutritional deficiencies, recovery was possible.   During this time, I used to spend a lot of time outdoors with my then young children, who would be playing in the park, and I'd be sheltering my face with an upturned coat collar, trying to stay our of the cold wind!  It was during this time a number of people with a condition called Trigeminal Neuralgia came up to me and introduced themselves, which looking back was nothing short of miraculous as I live in a pretty sparsely populated rural community and it is quite a rare condition.   I met a number of non-coeliacs who had suffered with this issue  and all bar one found relief in taking medication like amitriptyline which are type of tricyclic anti-depressant.   They were not depressed, here their doctors had prescribed the drugs as pain killers to address nerve pain, hence I mention here.  Nerve pain caused by shingles is often treated with this type of medication in the UK too, so it is definitely worth bearing in mind if standard pain killers like aspirin aren't working.
