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!

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      Thanks @Scott Adams. Do you know if Kirkland Signature supplements share facility and production lines with other products containing gluten? I'm worried that I'll react to this brand just like I did with other gluten-free labelled supplement brands.

      Unexpected gluten exposure risk from cultivated mushrooms

      This is a really common area of confusion. Most natural cheeses (cheddar, Swiss, mozzarella, Parmesan, brie, camembert, and most blue cheeses) are inherently gluten-free, and you’re right that the molds used today are typically grown on gluten-free media. The bigger risks tend to come from processed cheeses: shredded cheese (anti-caking agents), cheese s...

      Kirkland brand (at Costco) is gluten-free and is 2,000 IU.

      Unexpected gluten exposure risk from cultivated mushrooms

      Thanks a lot for your response! Can you maybe specify which kind of cheeses I should be cautious about? Camembert/Brie and blue cheeses (the molds of which are nowadays mostly grown on gluten-free media, though, so I've read, right?) or other ones as well? Also, I was under the impression that yeast is generally gluten-free if not declared otherwise...

      This is a really common area of confusion. Most natural cheeses (cheddar, Swiss, mozzarella, Parmesan, brie, camembert, and most blue cheeses) are inherently gluten-free, and you’re right that the molds used today are typically grown on gluten-free media. The bigger risks tend to come from processed cheeses: shredded cheese (anti-caking agents), cheese spreads, beer-washed rinds, smoke-flavored cheeses, and anything with added seasonings or “natural flavors,” where cross-contact can happen. As for yeast, you’re also correct — yeast itself is gluten-free. The issue is the source: brewer’s yeast and yeast extracts can be derived from barley unless labeled gluten-free, while baker’s yeast is generally safe. When in doubt, sticking with whole, unprocessed cheeses and products specifically labeled gluten-free is the safest approach, especially if you’re highly sensitive.
