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)

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!)

I was unable to eat a healthy variety of foods, tried probiotics supplements - some made me worse, others made no difference. After reading about people with Crones, IBS, etc, who made...

      Hi Katht - I sympathize with your struggles in following a gluten-free diet and lifestyle. I found out that I had Celiac Disease a few months before I turned 70. I just turned 89 and it has taken me almost 20 years to attain a fairly normal intestinal function. I also lost a lot of weight, down to 100 lb. down from about 140 lb. What Trents wrote you was...

      Celiac friendly probiotics

      By Florence Lillian · Posted

      In response to your questions regarding probiotics.  I have had Celiac for 40 years.  Stomach issues: digestion, IBS to chronic constipation, bloat after eating anything.  I was unable to eat a healthy variety of foods, tried probiotics supplements - some made me worse, others made no difference.  After reading about people with Crones, IBS, etc, who made their own probiotics I started making Milk Kefir: not water Kefir. There are 10 probiotics in milk KEFIR. After 3 weeks I was able to eat more, no gas, no IBS.  If you have a computer just ask for videos on making milk Kefir. I branched out and make my own Kombucha for even more probiotics. I do not make my yogurt because there are only about four probiotics in that. I started this when I was 82 and I still make my own Kefir and Kombucha. My stomach issues were fixed with the Milk Kefir alone. If you decide to try making it, make certain you order MILK GRAINS. The finished product tastes a bit like Buttermilk. I hope this helps in your journey to good health.

      Hi Katht -  I sympathize with your struggles in following a gluten-free diet and lifestyle. I found out that I had Celiac Disease a few months before I turned 70. I just turned 89 and it has taken me almost 20 years to attain a fairly normal intestinal  function. I also lost a lot of weight, down to 100 lb. down from about 140 lb. What Trents wrote you was very true for me. I am still elimination foods from my diet. One person suggested you keep a food diary and that is a good idea but it is probably best just to do an elimination diet. There are several ne and maybe one for celiacs. I used one for a while and started with plain rice and zucchini and then added back other foods to see if I reacted or not. That helped a great deal but what I did not realise that it would only very small amounts of some foods to cause inflammation in my intestine. Within the last few years I have stopped eating any trace amounts of hot peppers, corn and soy(mostly in supplements) and nuts, (the corn in Tylenol was giving me stomach aches and the nuts were causing foot pains). Starting an elimination diet with white rice is better than brown rice that has some natural toxins. In addition it is very important to drink sufficient plain water. You can find out how much to drink for your height and weight online. I do have difficulty drinking 48 ounces of water but just recently have found an electrolyte supplement that helps me stay well hydrated, Adding the water and electrolytes may reduce muscle cramps and gag spams you wrote about. . Also buy some anti-gluten enzyme capsules to take with meals. I use GliadinX advertised here. These are a lot of things to do at one time as they reflect my 20 years of experience. I hope you do what you can manage to do over time. Good luck and take care.
