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!)

      What's missing, for me, from this article, is a timeline for implementation in countries. Western countries are often quite slow to implement, and some countries I've been to have no labelling whatsoever...

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      My husband just had shingles going on 7 weeks now. We had been putting Vaseline on the blisters and lidocaine cream and he was prescribed an antiviral.

      This is FANTASTIC--especially that they are recognising barley and (potentially) oats as sources of gluten/contamination! Now if only we can get labeling guidelines to clarify "spices" and "natural flavors" for those of us with other severe allergies.

      What's your daily meals? Protein bars?

      What are your daily meals? Guilty pleasure snacks? Protein bars? I feel when looking for gluten free foods they are filled with sugar cholesterol. Looking for healthy gluten-free protein bars. Something to fill since sometimes I feel like not to eat anything. Especially if on vacation and unsure of cross contamination I figure go with a salad and protein...

      Labs ? Awaiting in person follow up with my GI

      Unfortunately, there is presently no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out. NCGS is thought to be much more common than celiac disease. We know that celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder but the mechanism of NCGS is less clear. Both call for an elimination of gluten from the diet.

      My husband just had shingles going on 7 weeks now.

His dr prescribed gabapentin 300mg 3x a day and he's also taking naproxen 500ng 2x a day and tylenol 1000mg every 6 hrs. Hope this helps  The lidocaine cream is by tylenol and is available in a large tube on Amazon or at Walmart

      Thanks for your reply Trents…most appreciated.  I am unfamiliar with celiac labs terminology so I wanted to know if the presence of HLA variants (DA:101, DA:105, DQB1:0301 and DQB1:0501) that the labs detected had any merit in predisposing one to be more sensitive to gluten/carbs than the general population?  Also,  I found what you said about NCGS very interesting and I appreciate you mentioning that.  I’ve worked hard to research and advocate for myself with my Hematologist and now with a new GI, since my bowel surgery and to maintain my Vitamin B12 health concurrent with keeping my levels of Iron in the optimal range. I’ve been tested for SIBO (do not have it), biopsy showed negative for HPylori, and have had Fecal studies done (nothing showed up) and I understand how a loss of a large amount of bowel could be highly impacting re: SIBO, malabsorption and motility issues. So I’ve managed pretty well diet and elimination-wise until just recently. That said, this new problem with extreme bloating, distention and upper girth, NAFLD just occured over the last 4 months so it is new for me and I thought celiac might be a possible issue. I’ll probably just continue on in this less gluten/carbs seem to be better for me and see how reintroducing certain foods go.  Thanks again.

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      By xxnonamexx · Posted

      Thanks bumped it up and now take all 3 vitamins 2 capsules each with the super b complex at breakfast. I will give it some time to see if I notice a difference. I am going to track my eating daily diary on a myfitness pal app to see if the "claimed" gluten free foods bother me or not.
