I kept some of my most favorite gluten recipes with the hope that one day, someday, I could eat gluten again. :) I had a few cake recipes using Betty Crocker

That's a great idea. Did you use all the same amounts of extra ingredients? I have grandma's old recipes like these for chocolate kahlua cake and a yellow cake with some other type of alcohol. These will be great for the holidays this year. I'm gonna tell my sister. She'll be thrilled that we can bring back at least one more traditional recipe. She already converted the rum ball recipe to gluten-free. Can you tell that grandma liked things with alcohol in them? :lol: She was one to give us a spoon of cherry brandy for a cough. Never touched alcohol except for cooking though.

Sorry to ramble on, this just brings back so many memories!

MMMMMM....sounds delish! I was going to do the same thing this weekend.....try an old recipe with the new mix. Quick question.....was the cake much smaller? I think the new BC mixes are for one layer instead of two. Thanks!

To answer a few of the questions about the Sherry Cake. I used the exact same ingredients from an old recipe using the Betty Crocker gluten cake mix as a base

I did not know B.C. had gluten-free cake mixes! Would I find that in the health section of the grocery store or in the regular baking aisle? Very exciting!

For all of you bakers, the gluten-free Betty Crocker cake mix works well with the Cake Mix Doctor cookbook. It is so nice to have coffee cake again! The bake times are tricky though, I use the temp. suggested and about 15 min. before the required bake time I start looking at the cake.

Thank you! This sounds wonderful. I was hoping somebody would try using old gluten recipes with the new mixes. We just got them locally last month and I bought four boxes.

A Christmas tradition at our house is a rum cake and last year I told DH he would have to get somebody else to make it for him. He was not pleased but I wasn't going to allow any flour loose in my kitchen.

Maybe I'll get brave and try the old Bacardi Rum Cake recipe with the new gluten-free mixes. If anybody else has tried it, I'd love to know how it turned out.

      Supplements for those Diagnosed with Celiac Disease

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @Scatterbrain, Thiamine Vitamin B1 and amino acid Taurine work together.  Our bodies can make Taurine from meats consumed.  Our bodies cannot make Thiamine and must consume thiamine from food.  Meat is the best source of B vitamins like Thiamine.   Vegetarians may not make sufficient taurine since they don't eat meat sources of taurine.  Seaweed is the best vegetarian source of taurine. Vegetarians may not consume sufficient Thiamine since few veggies are good sources.  Whole grains, legumes, and nuts and seeds contain thiamine.  Many of these sources can be hard to digest and absorb for people with Celiac disease.   You may find taking the forms of thiamine called Benfotiamine or TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) and a B Complex will give the benefits you're looking for better than taurine alone.

      @Jmartes71, I went to Doterra's site and had a look around.  The Doterra TerraZyme supplement really jumped out at me.  Since we, as Celiacs, often have digestive problems, I looked at the ingredients.  The majority of the enzymes in this supplement are made using black mold, Aspergillus!  Other enzymes are made by yeast Saccharomyces!  Considering the fact that Celiac often have permeable intestines (leaky gut syndrome), I would be very hesitant to take a product like this.  Although there may not be live black mold or yeast in the product, the enzymes may still cause an immune system response which would definitely cause inflammation throughout the body.   Skin, eyes, and intestines are all made from the same basic type of cells.  Your skin on the outside and eyes can reflect how irritated the intestines are on the inside.  Our skin, eyes, and intestines all need the same vitamins and nutrients to be healthy:  Vitamin A, Niacin B3 and Tryptophan, Riboflavin B2, Biotin B7, Vitamin C, and Omega Threes.  Remember that the eight B vitamins work together.  Just taking high doses of just one, vitamin like B12, can cause a deficiency in the others.  Taking high doses of B12 can mask a Folate B9 deficiency.  If you take B12, please take a B Complex, too.  Thiamine B1 can be taken in high doses safely without toxicity.  Thiamine is needed by itself to produce energy so every cell in the body can function, but Thiamine also works with the other B vitamins to make life sustaining enzymes and digestive enzymes.  Deficiencies in either Niacin, Vitamin C, or Thiamine can cause digestive problems resulting in Pellagra, Scurvy, and Gastrointestinal Beriberi.   If you change your diet, you will change your intestinal microbiome.  Following the Autoimmune Protocol Diet, a Paleo diet, will starve out SIBO bacteria.  Thiamine keeps bacteria in check so they don't get out of control as in SIBO.  Thiamine also keeps MOLDS and Yeasts from overgrowth.   Menopause symptoms and menstrual irregularities are symptomatic of low Vitamin D.   Doctors are not as knowledgeable about malnutrition as we need them to be.  A nutritionist or dietician would be more helpful.   Take control of your diet and nutrition.  Quit looking for a pill that's going to make you feel better overnight.  The Celiac journey is a marathon, not a sprint.   "Let food be your medicine, and let medicine be your food."

      Are Lindt chocolate balls gluten free?

      By RUKen · Posted

      The Lindt (Lindor) dairy-free oat milk truffles are definitely gluten-free, and (last time I checked) so are the white chocolate truffles and the mint chocolate truffles.

      I've used magnesium taurinate and magnesium taurate vitamins.  Didn't notice much of a difference when I used them.

      Anyone experimented with Taurine supplementation either via electrolyte powders or otherwise? Thanks
