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!)

      @Aretaeus Cappadocia thank you for your reply and the link, that is very helpful to get a visual of just how small of an amount can cause a reaction.

      This Common Blood Pressure Drug Can Mimic Celiac Disease Symptoms

      Dang. I had a moment of hope that I could change my BP med and get off the gluten-free diet. Nope. More seriously, I hadn't seen this articles about this phenomenon before. This is one of the possible answers for people who post here about having celiac symptoms (including biopsy) but normal IgA levels, especially if they are saying that diet isn't helping...

      Zaalouk moroccan eggplant salad

      oops. I didn't see that before posting or I would have at least referenced it. The two recipes are pretty similar, but I think the newer one is a little simpler/faster. Next time though I will search more before posting.

I know I am not consuming gluten or coming into contact with gluten from any other source. I will stop touching/tossing bread outside! My diet has not changed, and I do not have reactions to the things I am currently eating, which are few in number. My auto immune reaction just seems so severe. The abdominal pain is extreme. It takes a lot out of me. I guess I will be this way for the rest of my life if I ever happen to come into contact with gluten? I appreciate the help.

I also did have implants ( I didn't know and sense not properly in my medical. Neither did surgeon)in 2006 and there was a leak 2023 during the same time I was dealing with covid, digestive issues, eyes and skin.Considering I " should  be fine" not consuming gluten/wheat, taking vitamins for sibo and STILL feeling terrible.It has to be parasites. I also take individual eye drops prescribed, could there be an issue there? Anyways my pcp thinks I need therapy because again they don't acknowledge my digestive issues because in my records it shows im fine, hintz the reason I had to go back to bay area hospital:(  I thought skin issues maybe sibo related but I feel and have seen and seriously trying not to think about it because it's disgusting.

      The following two lists are very helpful for anyone who is gluten sensitive and needs to avoid gluten when shopping. It's very important to learn to read labels and understand sources of hidden gluten, and to know some general information about product labelling--for example in the USA if wheat is a possible allergen it must be declared on a product's ingredient label like this: Allergens: Wheat.
