So....my pal got married and she was sooo pleased to present me with my own little gluten free cake in it's own little box. Loving and trusting her like I do (or maybe is was more my love of cake....) i gobbled the little cake right down....not five seconds later i was all but curled up in the fetal position under the table and am now (two days later) just coming out of it....as if the cramping pains in my intestines isn't enough, my poisoning had to be accompanied by insatiable itching on my right leg and left ear if i could have torn my leg off and used it to pound the itching out of my ear i swear to god i would have done it!! How will i ever trust you again little chocolate cake?????

May I just say that royally sucks!!!!! So sorry! I hope you havent been ruined for cake forever! It's one of life's little joys I am hoping to have again some day (gluten-free of course) when I am a little more healed. I hope you feel better soon!

Oh gosh I am so sorry this happened to you. I wonder if the baker had great intentions but no knowledge of CC issues. I hope you are feeling better really soon.

I suppose it will be awhile before you'll try chocolate cake again... it is the favorite treat in our family since going gluten-free.

We use Bob's Red Mill Chocolate Cake Mix and add a cup of choc chips to the batter.

Frosting is 2 cups choc chips, 1 can sweetened condensed milk and 2 teaspoons vanilla (melt together in saucepan) - it's very smooth - fudge/candy like

This is sinful and no one can tell it is gluten-free.

Hope you are able to enjoy soon!

      Sore muscles

      By Eldene · Posted

      I walk fast for fitness, 4 to 6 km per day. I am also 74 years old. Apart from the Celiac challenge, my lifestyle is healthy. I had a sciatiac nerve pinching under my one foot, with inflamation in my whole shin. It was almost cured, when the other shin started paining and burning. I do stretches, use a natural cooling gel and rest my feet. Can Celiac cause muscle pains/inflamation, or is it just over-excercising?

      Trader Joe's grocery prodcuts

      By LovintheGFlife · Posted

      I recently started shopping at a nearby Trader Joe's store. I was surprised at the number and variety of (healthy) gluten-free options sold there. I must admit their low prices are also quite tempting. However, I am curious as to the labeling on all their packages. While none of their products are certified as gluten-free, many are identified as 'GLUTEN FREE' on the packaging. Are these items safe for celiacs? Has anyone tried Trader Joe's products and have there been any adverse reactions?

      Gluten challenge

      By Beverley Ann Johnson · Posted

      HI, my doctor suggested one week of consuming gluten before blood tests.  I have been gluten free for 3 years.  Has anyone been through this and will I get exact results after one week of consuming gluten?  I don't even know if I can do this, if I get sick I am not sure if I can continue, any suggestions??  Thanks in advance.

      I did reach out to them on April 4th and left a message. I will try calling again. Thank you!

      Not Sure What to Think

      By trents · Posted

      PPI's can be a wonderful healing agent when used as prescribed on the label which I believe recommends use of up to 8 weeks. But they are like antibiotics in that they are overprescribed and undermonitored. Docs generally prescribe them and then keep prescribing them because they take care of immediate symptoms so well. Physicians are more into treating symptoms than uncovering causes.
