Betty Crocker Frosting To Be Labeled Gluten Free This Fall

I didn't see this posted anywhere. As I think everyone knows, Betty Crocker is putting out some gluten-free baking mixes this June. I was reading Open Original Shared Link and found this:

This is really neat! Thanks for posting it :)

I have been wanting to make a cake or cupcakes but just didn't want to deal with making my own frosting. This is really nice that Betty Crocker is taking the wheel on making gluten free products available in the "normal" type of food products. This will be neat for those of us who live in smaller towns and have a harder time finding gluten free foods.

i think betty crocker frostings are all gluten free "as is" currently... read the label... if it doesn't say wheat, barley, rye or oats then it's gluten free. that is their policy :-)

happy frosting...

Just be REALLY careful making the assumptions that you're making. True, the ingredient lists of some foods don't SHOW gluten, such as the Duncan Hines brand of frosting, but DH won't call their frostings gluten-free any longer because they might be made on equipment that processes other gluten-containing products...i.e. cross-contamination. If in doubt, it's always best to directly contact a company about the gluten-free status of their products.

does anyone know the status for Betty Crockers frostings? I know the ingredient list is self explanitory, but the whole CC is what I'm wondering because som of thier other frostings have wheat in them.

I was in the store tonight looking at the ingredients, gluten or no gluten, based on the LOOONG ingredient list of CRAP, I decided just to buy some powdered sugar and make my own!!!! I just dont like the idea of all those chemicals and whatever else going into my body, gluten or not.

      There are other Celiac genes. HLA DQ 2 and HLA DQ 8 show up in people from Northern European descent.   People of Mediterranean descent have HLA DQ 7.  People of Asian descent have HLA DQ 9.   There's other Indigenous populations that have other HLA genes that code for Celiac disease.   Are you still having symptoms?   What do you include in your diet?  Are you vegetarian? Are you taking any prescription medication?  Omeprazole?  Metformin?   Do you have anemia?  Thyroid problems? Are you taking any vitamins or herbal supplements?

      There are eight essential B vitamins.  They are all water soluble.  Any excess of B vitamins is easily excreted by the kidneys.   Thiamine is Vitamin B 1.  Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  Benfotiamine and TTFD are forms of Thiamine that the body can utilize very easily.   The form of Thiamine in the supplements you mentioned is Thiamine Mononitrate, a form that the body does not absorb well and does not utilize well.  Only about thirty percent of the amount on the label is actually absorbed in the small intestine.  Less than that can actually be used by the body.  Manufacturers add thiamine mononitrate to their products because it's cheap and shelf-stable.  Thiamine and other B vitamins break down when exposed to light and heat and over time.  Thiamine Mononitrate is a form that does not break down over time sitting on a shelf waiting for someone to buy them.  What makes Thiamine Mononitrate shelf stable makes it difficult for the body to turn into a useable form.  In fact, it takes more thiamine to turn it into a useable form.   Gastrointestinal Beriberi is a localized shortage of Thiamine in the gastrointestinal tract.  High carbohydrate meals can result in gastrointestinal symptoms of Gastric Beriberi.  Fiber is a type of carbohydrate.  So, high fiber/carbohydrate snacks could trigger Gastric Beriberi.   Since blood tests for Thiamine and other B vitamins are so inaccurate, the World Health Organization recommends trying Thiamine and looking for health improvement because it's safe and nontoxic.

      Thanks very interesting I have to see if I should take these 2 vitamins along with my multi and super Vit B complex or if its too much or would hurt me. I don't have any other health issues but would love to see if this improves anything especially to feel stronger build muscle.
