Oh man! I'm at work! Give us a review, will you?

I was HOPING that Chelsea Clinton's wedding would bring a LOT of light to gluten-free!

Yeah it's over now. I turned it on as they were making it, but it looked yummy. I'm going to go searching for the recipe online. BRB.

Okay, here's what they made: Open Original Shared Link (scroll down for the recipe)

She didn't say what flours she was using, but she did talk about the properties of gluten in cooking and how it's important to have the right gluten free flour mix that's not too heavy. They also mentioned that some people have a "gluten allergy" and some people have a more serious thing called celiac disease. I think it was a pretty fair presentation for as brief as it was.

That recipe is not detailed enough for gluten free baking. :blink:

She has "gluten free flour mix" but does not specify it should contain a proportional amount of xanthan or guar gum unless certain stickier type gluten free flours are used. Also, different gluten free flour mixes bake at different times, so the cupcakes should be tested before the final pull from the oven. Because of sulfite sensitivities, I would recommend pure apple cider vinegar instead of wine vinegar. With so many gluten-free people having lactose sensitivities, I would also specify a lactose free milk or liquid substitute such as gluten free rice, soy, or nut milk or even water.

She should also specify on the food coloring, vanilla, and cream cheese that they be gluten free.

I would not want somebody to try this and feed it to somebody without the usual ingredient shakedown. B)

Google Living Without Red Velvet Cake for a recipe. Make cupcakes instead of cake.

Also, www.glutenfreecookingschool.com/archives/gluten-free-red-velvet-cake/ has a recipe using brown rice flour, sorghum, and tapioca flour.

There was an earlier segment, or perhaps something different in my Central time zone, an interview with a "correspondent", not sure of nutrition or medical credentials - but her talk was about why celebrities are going gluten free to lose weight!!!! I had to laugh because if I ate all the gluten free goodies they had on that table, the flours and cookies, I'd be as BIG as a house.

In all fairness, she did cover the hidden gluten in foods, and why millions of Americans must not ingest gluten due to an intolerance or celiac disease, and for those individuals, it is not to lose weight, but to remain healthy.

But I have a feeling the notion that if you eat all those replacements for gluten you will slim down, THAT will be a short-lived fad. Unless someone sticks with all natural unprocessed foods, they will wind up gaining weight!

In any event, the awareness of the perils of ingesting gluten are becoming more and more mainstream. That's great!

For anyone interested, there is a thread with a link to the Today Show piece--

I happened to see that Today show. The source person did point out that most Celiacs actually gain weight when they go gluten free. She did not say why, but in my case it was because food was no longer running through me as fast as I could eat it. It stuck around long enough to become fat!

Oh, I meant to ask: Why did Chelsea have a gluten-free cake ? Does she have Celiac, or is she one who is doing it to lose weight? That's the first I heard about the cake.

I read that Chelsea has a gluten allergy and she is vegan. It didn't elaborate to say if it was celiac or gluten-intolerance.

The flour thing might be a problem but many people with celiac have neither sulfite nor lactose problems. The person was making gluten-free cupcakes, not sulfite and lactose free cupcakes. I once saw a gluten-free cooking demonstration and someone from the audience complained that the dishes contained too much salt and fat for her diet. The cook reminded her that this was a gluten-free demo, not a low-fat, low-salt demo.

As for specifying that those three ingredients be gluten-free, I assume the cook didn't think that necessary. Personally, I can't even name a vanilla, cream cheese or food coloring that has gluten. I know we used to be warned about checking artificial coloring and vanilla, but we discovered years ago that those ingredients are in fact not a threat. Cream cheese has NEVER been a suspect ingredient that I know of.

Good for you, lovegrov. It's so great to see some common sense!

      My only proof

      By Mari · Posted

      Hi Jmartes71 That is so much like my story! You probably know where Laytonville is and that's where I was living just before my 60th birthday when the new Dr. suggested I could have Celiacs. I didn't go on a gluten challange diet before having the Celiac panel blood test drawn. The results came back as equivical as one antibody level was very high but another, tissue transaminasewas normal. Itdid show I was  allergic to cows milk and I think hot peppers. I immediately went gluten free but did not go in for an endoscopy. I found an online lab online that would do the test to show if I had a main celiac gene (enterolab.com). The report came back that I had inherited a main celiac gene, DQ8, from one parent and a D!6 from the other parent. That combination is knows to sym[tons of celiac worse than just inheriting one main celiac gene. With my version of celiac disease I was mostly constipated but after going gluten-free I would have diarrhea the few times I was glutened either by cross contamination or eating some food containing gluten. I have stayed gluten-free for almost 20 years now and knew within a few days that it was right for me although my recovery has been slow.   When I go to see a  medical provide and tell them I have celiacs they don't believe me. The same when I tell them that I carry a main celiac gene, the DQ8. It is only when I tell them that I get diarrhea after eating gluten that they realize that I might have celiac disease. Then they will order th Vitamin B12 and D3 that I need to monitor as my B12 levels can go down very fast if I'm not taking enough of it. Medical providers haven't been much help in my recovery. They are not well trained in this problem. I really hope this helps ypu. Take care.

      @DebJ14, You said "husband has low platelets, bruises easily and gets bloody noses just from Fish Oil  He suggested he take Black Cumin Seed Oil for inflammation.  He discovered that by taking the Black Seed oil, he can eat carbs and not go into A Fib, since it does such a good job of reducing inflammation."   I don't think black seed oil is lowering inflammation.  It's lowering blood glucose levels. Black cumin seed lowers blood glucose levels.  There's a connection between high blood glucose levels and Afib.    Has your husband been checked for diabetes?   Must Read: Associations of high-normal blood pressure and impaired fasting glucose with atrial fibrillation https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36750354/

      4.5 years into diagnosis, eating gluten-free and still struggling: would love support, tips, & stories

      Healthy Omega Three fats.  Olive oil or flaxseed oil, oily fish, fatty cuts of meat.   Our bodies run much better on burning fats as fuel.  Diets based on carbohydrates require an increased amount of thiamine to process the carbs into fuel for the body.  Unfortunately, thiamine mononitrate is used to enrich rice.  Thiamine mononitrate is relatively unusable in the body.  So a high carb diet can further decrease thiamine stores in the body.  Insufficient thiamine in the body causes the body to burn body fat and muscle for fuel, so weight loss and muscle wasting occurs.  Those extra carbohydrates can lead to Candida (often confused with mold toxicity) and SIBO (Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth).   Losing weight quickly is a symptom of thiamine insufficiency.  Muscle wasting is a symptom of thiamine insufficiency.  I lost sixty pounds in a month.   Having difficulty putting weight on and keeping it on is a symptom of thiamine insufficiency.   The AIP diet works because it eliminates all grains and grasses, rice, quinoa, all the carbs.  Without the carbs, the Candida and SIBO get starved and die off.  Easy way to change your microbiome is to change what you feed it.  With the rowdy neighbors gone, the intestine can heal and absorb more nutrients.   Supplementing with essential vitamins and minerals is beneficial.  Talk to your doctor and nutritionist.  Benfotiamine is a form of thiamine that promotes intestinal healing.  The eight B vitamins are water soluble, so if you don't need them, they can be gotten rid of easily.   Night shades are excluded on the AIP diet.  Potatoes, tomatoes, peppers and eggplant are not allowed on the AIP diet.  They contain alkaloids that promote "a leaky gut".  Benfotiamine can help here. Sweet potatoes are avoided because they contain thiaminases, chemicals that break thiamine so that the body cannot use it.   The AIP diet has helped me.
