That Cupcake Just Fell Right Down My Throat!

As some of you know, my GI symptoms are crazy. So, what's the solution to an upset and uncooperative GI tract? gluten-free Cupcakes!

I had no intention of eating one. I really didn't. But, my son is leaving tomorrow for a camp designed for rising skateboarders who are going to the next level (YEAH!!!) and I knew he needed a pick-me-up for his day of packing.

I have to say, that Betty Crocker is a great lady. I kid you not, after eating so clean for weeks/months, I just knew the minute that cupcake went down the hatch I would pay. But, how much could I pay, my GI tract is already a nightmare. Heck, I might as well enjoy something delectable for goodness sakes. Well, bless my little heart because there are 2 cupcakes in my intestines and they seem to be happy there :D

I *heart* gluten-free Betty Crocker.

Oh yes she does! I bought the yellow cake mix and used chocolate frosting. I found this by total accident at the crappiest grocery store in our town. I didn't expect to find one thing gluten-free, so boy was I excited to see these! And, my son says they are the best yet!

I'm just going to throw in my two cents . . . I have used the Betty Crocker cake mix a few times. I have never had a problem when I make cupcakes with it. When I try to make an actual cake, I overcook it every time . . . it could be operator error . . . it could be by the time the middle cooks, the outside is too done. I WILL still use Betty . . . but only for cupcakes.

Good point! I did cook 2 minutes less than it said. It said to bake for 18-22 minutes for cupcakes and I baked for 16 minutes and they were totally done!

I just had my new stove delivered last week. And I have a box of this Gluten-free cake mix sitting right on my counter! woot! I could never bake in my old oven because the temp settings didn't work properly. Can't wait to try some cupcakes!

Now, if I could only find Gluten-free bisquick I'd be in heaven.

I have a box in my pantry. I have not tried it yet..I bought Lemon icing....just was in the mood for it. I think I might add a little lemon peel grated in the cup cakes too. I actually prefer the cup cakes...that way you can freeze them easier.

What's sad is that I have no kids, and I know this song. It gets stuck in your head. B)

Been out of the loop for several years so don't know the Yo Gabba Gabba song. Kid is grown. But after all these years I still hear the Barney Song. :wacko:

I Love You, You Love Me. AARRhhhhhh.

well... whatever you do, don't go listen to Party in My Tummy...it will never leave you....it will be stuck in your head like the Barney song. (Although I have to say, having celiac makes it SO much funnier!)

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      I take both Benfotiamine and TTFD. You might want to start with the Benfotiamine for a few days and then add in the TTFD. You can look for NeuroMag (Magnesium Threonate). A magnesium glycinate is fine, too. Doctor's Best is a good brand. Don't take more than 300mg total per day of magnesium or it may have a laxative effect. Be sure...

      Life Extension Benfotiamine with Thiamine has 100MG of Ben and 25 of Thia..... Do you think this is the one I should take or Objective Nutrients Thiamax (TTFD) which has 100MG Thiamine. How much magnesium should I look for? I take the womens 50+ multivitamin since consumerlabs stated and tested that it has the right amount of vitamins and not too much for...

      Glutened

      Hi all I’ve been celiac for 4 years now, I’ve done pretty well to avoid it thus far. Last night I took the wrong pizza out of the freezer and ate the whole lot!! The non gluten and gluten pizza boxes are both very similar. 2 hours later I was throwing up violently on my hands and knees over the loo. .horrendous stomach pains, My hair was wet fro...

Thiamine interacts with each of the other B vitamins in the B Complex to make energy and enzymes, so best to take them together earlier in your day. Taking them too close to bedtime can keep you too energetic to go to sleep. The Life Extension Benfotiamine with Thiamine is Benfotiamine and...

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      I looked further into Thiamax Vitamin B1 by objective nutrients and read all the great reviews. I think I will give this a try. I noticed only possible side affect is possibly the first week so body adjusts. Life Extensions carries Benfotiamine with Thiamine and the mega one you mentioned. Not sure if both in one is better or seperate. some reviews state...

How much magnesium should I look for? I take the womens 50+ multivitamin since consumerlabs stated and tested that it has the right amount of vitamins and not too much for men and doesn't have BHT which has shown to cause liver cancer in animals. I was never big with multivitamins as well as doctors I just read when I was first going gluten free to take a multi but I think I will stop them and work on trying the super B Thia and Ben, Mag.

      Hi all I’ve been celiac for 4 years now, I’ve done pretty well to avoid it thus far. Last night I took the wrong pizza out of the freezer and ate the whole lot!! The non gluten and gluten pizza boxes are both very similar.   2 hours later I was throwing up violently on my hands and knees over the loo.  .horrendous stomach pains,  My hair was wet from sweat every part of my body was wet. What an awful experience, just had a bad headache today  fortunately.    Is their any products/pills anyone takes if they have realised they have just been glutened to make the symptoms a little less worse.  thanks

      Yes, do take your B Complex with Benfotiamine or Thiamax.  Thiamine interacts with each of the other B vitamins in the B Complex to make energy and enzymes, so best to take them together earlier in your day.  Taking them too close to bedtime can keep you too energetic to go to sleep.   The Life Extension Benfotiamine with Thiamine is Benfotiamine and Thiamine Hydrochloride, another form of thiamine the body likes.  The Thiamine HCl just helps the Benfotiamine work better.   Read the label for how many milligrams are in them.  The Mega Benfotiamine is 250 mgs.  Another Benfothiamine has 100 mgs.  You might want to start with the 100 mg.    I like to take Thiamax in the morning with a B Complex at breakfast.  I take the Benfotiamine with another meal.  You can take your multivitamin with Benfotiamine at lunch.   Add a magnesium supplement, too.  Thiamine needs magnesium to make some important enzymes.  Life Extension makes Neuro-Mag, Magnesium Threonate, which is really beneficial.  (Don't take Magnesium Oxide.  It's not absorbed well, instead it pulls water into the digestive tract and is used to relieve constipation.)  I'm not a big fan of multivitamins because they don't always dissolve well in our intestines, and give people a false sense of security.  (There's videos on how to test how well your multivitamin dissolves.).  Multivitamins don't prevent deficiencies and aren't strong enough to correct deficiencies.   I'm happy you are trying Thiamax and Benfotiamine!  Keep us posted on your progress!  I'm happy to answer any questions you may have.

Not sure if both in one is better or seperate. some reviews state a laxative affect as side affect. SHould I take with my super B complex or just these 2 and multivitamin? I will do further research but I appreciate the wonderful explanation you provided on Thiamine.
