Hello Everyone

I am going to make my first Carrot Cake ever. Gluten Free.

I am not a very good "baker" but I am going to give it a practice run this weekend for a potential thanksgiving day dessert. It is either Apple Crisp or Carrot Cake.

I have the gluten free flour but are the following things gluten free or do I need to seek out a substitute:

confectioner's sugar

corn oil

baking soda

baking powder

You are good to go. Argo baking powder is gluten-free..... a blend of gluten-free flour is better than plain rice flour.... I believe Annalise Roberts has a carrot cake recipe on her site.

Do you have (or your gluten-free flour) xanthan gum?

I want to make this one sometime:

Pamela's pancake mix makes a really good carrot cake but it looks like you are good to go on flour stuff.

Make sure to check your powdered sugar, some brands have flour in it to keep from sticking together but other brands use corn starch, just check it before using it.

Powdered sugar, should be nothing but 100% pure powder sugar.

Old posts talked about this, you are right...read labels and be safe! I bought McCormick seasoning mixes b/c I heard it was a safe company. I checked the chili mix WHEN I got home and it listed wheat, but not the other seasoning I bought. Goes to show me not to assume anything.

If you're in a hurry, you can substitute baby food carrots for grated carrots. Carrot cake, m-m-m-m....

Corn starch can be listed on some brands.

On that site it does not say anything about rye, barley, oats, or corn. The powdered sugar that we have at home has cornstarch in it, and the one that i have here on campus with me has cornstarch in it as well, every brand is different, i have domino. It is just smart to check labels no matter what the food is. I once was eating corn tortilla chips and then decided to check the bag and there was wheat in them.

Here is another topic about black bean brownies that also has a suggestion on how to make a bean carrot cake. I have made the carrot cake version three times. First one with splenda (good but don't like the aftertaste from splenda), second one with regular sugar (it tasted really good), and the third one I made with truvia (this went over great as well). It was super easy and requires no flour! I had people try it at work and they all loved it and could not believe it was made out of beans when I told them.

I LOVE this carrot cake. DS always wants me to bake it for him and even DD (who isn't gluten-free/DF/CF) loves it. I substitute apple sauce or canned pumpkin for the yogurt.

I make the frosting with Earth Balance spread instead of butter and omit the cream cheese. I can't tell the difference and I used to be a butter snob (before DS went CF/DF).

Oh thanks...I bought carrots to make either this carrot cake or to convert a gluten recipe for carrot muffins. I am glad to know this recipe is a winner! Thanks again!

If you don't want to do it completely from scratch, Namaste brand has a Spice Cake mix that all you add is raisins and nuts...and carrot shreds. It is AMAZING. My gluten-eating coworkers ask for it!

      Alcohol

      By Suze046 · Posted

      Hey! I’m recently gluten free and yes I really struggle with alcohol now. I haven’t really drank in 2 months as it just made me feel awful the next day in terms of stomach ache mainly. I’ve had a couple of glasses of white wine here and there (mainly low sulphate) but every time it gives me a gut ache. I think it’s because but guy is so damaged from my journey to discovering my gluten intolerance and hopefully this will improve but honestly I’m just not bothered about having a drink now. I can’t even touch Prosecco or champagne I think the bubbles really upset me!

      I just wanted to share my support for you. Rant away. We all know that, and have experiences like that at some point. I am sorry for that very unpleasant, and emotionally isolating reminder of your medical condition. Which always is exacerbated by the hunger. I will admit many of my family friends, and coworkers found it easier to exclude me than to accommodate me. I also have to be very strict with cross contamination so in hindsight they did me a favor.  The sting however can often still be unearthed when I read experiences like yours.  I am sorry you had that occur. I hope you, and the coworkers can find the easy more accommodating experiences again after this unfortunate incident. Best wishes.

      Diagnosed gluten allergy but not Celiac

      By Awol cast iron stomach · Posted

      "...hemorrhoids, constipation and diarrhea" . Heard of indeed. Experienced too. In hindsight, I can remember from age 2 having, and trying to convey my issues. I went 38 years misdiagnosed. So yes one can have these issues. I did have to go back on gluten for a gluten challenge. I failed that challenge and 6 days in they give me permission to stop, and I proceed with my scopes as scheduled. Post those 6 days I had gained 13 intolerances. I had to remove many foods, and reintroduce them back in. Nine years later I have two that remain gluten, and corn. I found it helpful to follow a whole foods diet. I also found autoimmune (AIP) protocol diet/recipes, and Paleo diet/recipes helpful. I still enjoy many of those homemade version recipes. I still continue to make my own salad dressings even if I can find a gluten-free store bought version. Fresh taste best to this palate now.  I did give up many grains I was off many and reverted to coconut flour and almond flour as work arounds .  I still remember the first time my gut experienced the reintroduction of quinoa. It wasn't sure if it wanted to flare or not. In 30 minutes it reported back ok this will pass. Many foods were removed post gluten challenge for me for 2 years and 4 months. At the 2 year 4 month mark is when my body said ok let's eat again, but don't ever feed me gluten again! I wish you the best.

      if you have already learned that Gluten is the cause of your symptoms, of course there is no need to add it back into your diet— your decision could save you a lot of needless suffering. One thing to consider is that if you do have celiac disease, your first- degree relatives may also need to get screened for it, because, like diabetes the disease is genetic, although many of its triggers seem to be environmental factors. You may want to consider getting a genetic test for celiac disease, so you can at least warn your relatives if it turns out that you do carry a celiac gene.
