Thank you for posting this! It's good to know I can buy regular frosting now, instead of going through the hassle of making it! :D

Not to be a PITA but did you ask about barley malt in flavorings? The reason I ask is because she mentioned the top allergens and since barley malt is not considered an allergen. I would love it if they are gluten free as I really hate to make frosting.

No I did not ask specifically about malt.

I will grab a can tommorrow since I want to make chocolate cupcakes and give them a call. It likely is a safe product but I am so sensitive that I like to be sure.

Can I offer up my uber-easy chocolate frosting that is out of this world amazing (plus it doesn't have all the crap that canned frosting has in it):

2 c cream-heavy or whipping

2 c chocolate chips--you can use milk, semi-sweet, dark-whatever (white doesn't work as well)

microwave cream just until it starts to boil, dump in chocolate chips and let sit for 2 minutes. Whisk well and either dump over your cake (and serve warm-OMG delish) or put in fridge. Keeps for 2 weeks or so. If you refrigerate, you can just soften it up by popping it back in the microwave for a bit.

That sounds so good and so easy, thank you!!!! My Mom used to make frosting with just powdered sugar milk and vanilla but I can never get it to come out as good as hers did.

Thanks for posting this info. Pete.

I've been using the Duncan Hines Classic Chocolate and am grateful for an easy/tasty alternative for when I can't make my own homemade frosting. I tried one of the dedicated gluten gluten-free frostings and it was terrible.

Raven, let us know what they say about barley malt. My daughter is quite sensitive to CC and so far has not reacted to Duncan Hines at all, so I trust it. Of course, we must always re-read labels regularly for changes.

      Celiac getting dentures

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Your experience is both shocking and critically important for the community to hear, underscoring the terrifying reality that cross-contamination can extend into the most unexpected and invasive medical devices. It is absolutely devastating that you had to endure six months of sickness and ultimately sustain permanent vision loss because a doctor dismissed your legitimate, life-altering condition. Your relentless research and advocacy, from discovering the gluten in MMA acrylic to finding a compassionate prosthodontist, is a testament to your strength in a system that often fails celiac patients. While the scientific and medical consensus is that gluten cannot be absorbed through the skin or eyes (as the molecules are too large to pass through these barriers), your story highlights a terrifying gray area: what about a substance *permanently implanted inside the body*, where it could potentially shed microparticles or cause a localized immune reaction? Your powerful warning about acrylic lenses and the drastic difference with the silicone alternative is invaluable information. Thank you for sharing your harrowing journey and the specific, severe neurological symptoms you endure; it is a stark reminder that celiac is a systemic disease, and your advocacy is undoubtedly saving others from similar trauma.

      Fighting for a name

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I am so sorry you're going through this bad experience--it's difficult when your own lived reality of cause and effect is dismissed by the very professionals meant to help you. You are absolutely right—your violent physical reactions are not "what you think," but undeniable data points, and it's a form of medical gaslighting to be told otherwise, especially when you have a positive HLA-DQ2 gene and a clear clinical picture. Since your current "celiac specialist" is not addressing the core issue or your related conditions like SIBO and chronic fatigue, it may be time for a strategic pivot. Instead of trying to "reprove" your celiac disease to unwilling ears, consider seeking out a new gastroenterologist or functional medicine doctor, and frame the conversation around managing the complications of a confirmed gluten-free diet for celiac disease. Go in and say, "I have celiac disease, am strictly gluten-free, but I am still suffering from these specific complications: SIBO, chronic fatigue, dermatological issues, and high blood pressure linked to pain. I need a partner to help me address these related conditions." This shifts the focus from a debate about your diagnosis to a collaborative plan for your current suffering, which is the help you truly need and deserve to work toward bouncing back.

      Hello, no I had to have them re done and then used a liner over the top.  Many dentists are not aware of the celiac effects.  Best of luck.   There is other material, yet, very expensive.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      He is not just a psychiatrist.  He is also a neuroscientist.  And yes, I have already read those studies.   I agree with benfotiamine.  This is short term while glutened/inflammation occurs.  As I had already mentioned, these symptoms no longer exist when this phase passes.  And yes, I know that celiac is a disease of malnutrition.  We are working with a naturopath.
