Namaste Sprice Cake - Awesome!

Things continue to get better and better.

Namaste, carried at Wal Mart, has a premix bag for their Spice Cake.

Its incredible. Looks like cake, bakes like cake, it makes a huge pan full, isn't dry, isn't flaky. You can stick a fork in it and it stays, its not super dense like others. You would never ever know.

It is just a TAD dry but if you leave it in the fridge it moistens up. We served it to the family as Thanksgiving and no one knew.

I've heard their pancake mix is better than gluten based pancake mixes, next on the list to try.

We love the Namaste mixes and blends! We buy the brownie mix (our absolute favorite!), the spice cake mix, the chocolate cake mix, the biscuit, pie crust & more mix, the perfect flour blend, and others I can't think of right now. We have had the pancake mix in the past, but haven't recently. I just use the perfect flour blend and some light buckwheat flour that we like to make pancakes with a recipe. (Perfect Flour Blend is a cup for cup flour replacement for wheat flour.)

Every time we have to go to a pot luck, we take Namaste brownies. I add a handful of Enjoy Life chocolate chips to the batter before baking. No one but us - and anyone else with celiac or food allergies that we tell - know they are gluten-free. With a gluten, corn, dairy, soy, MSG, "and more" -free family, Namaste mixes work great for us.

I just used Namaste Perfect Flour Blend this Thanksgiving to make a pumpkin roll and a banana cake. The best sweets I baked since going gluten free 18 months ago. Both were delicious and very moist. Don't know if it was the pumpkin and the bananas that were added in that made them so moist, but they were AWESOME! My gluten eating family even ate some and did not complain!

I have mentioned Namaste over and over. I LOVE Namaste!! Mine NEVER turns out dry though. My coworkers love when I bring carrot cake.

Is it in the gluten-free section at Wal-Mart? I've never seen their products at the Wal-Mart where I shop.

Our Target just converted to include a large grocery section and they now sell Namaste products, as well as Pamela's, Bob's, plus other gluten-free snack foods.

      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.
