I was so excited to recently discover Bob's Red Mill Gluten-Free Chocolate Cake Mix. We used it for a birthday cake for a friend who is also gluten intolerant and it was fantactic. We added some chocolate chips to the recipe and you woudl have never guessed by the awesome taste that it was gluten-free. What a treat.

Does anyone else have gluten-free dessert products that they would recommend? I found the Bob's Red Mill Gluten-Free Chocolate Cake Mix really easy to prepare and it was economically priced (less then $5). I'm hooked and now realize you can be gluten-free, but still have your cake!

I use the cheesecake part from the following recipe on chocolate cake. It is wonderful but my cheesecake has always stayed on top. I did make a carrot cake by using Betty Crocker's yellow cake mix, adding some grated carrots and spices. Was excellent also.

Search the 36 hour chocolate chip cookies in the search forum above....AWESOME!

I have found that replacing the flours in recipes which have fruits or vegetables in them (ie zucchini or carrot) works without much issue. Even my DH who doesn't like much of the gluten-free stuff likes those. I found a recipe for my own mix..(can't remember where, bummer :huh: ) which works great..I also liked the King Arthur all purpose mix better thatn Bob's Red mill. I'm not a huge fan of the bean flours. They taste metalic to me. Well enough rambling B)

      Anyone else get a lot of upper respiratory infections?

      Definitely worth speaking to your gastroenterologist about this. My own told me that by using Gaviscon a barrier forms over the contents of the stomach and stops gas and acid irritating the throat. In fact, he said to me that because I found relief using Gaviscon that was a very clear indicator that reflux was the cause of that particular issue. A wedge...

      Anyone else get a lot of upper respiratory infections?

      I did get the pneumonia vaccine about 4 years ago. I had this amazing allergist who did all those vitamin deficiencies test and told to get that vaccine. Unfortunately she retired. I haven’t been to an allergist in a few years, I’m not sure what my levels are now. I did have a pulmonologist who wasn’t concern and said I seemed fine to him that I was young...

      Anyone else get a lot of upper respiratory infections?

      Yes I do have acid reflux. I’m not on anything for it at the moment. I sometimes wonder if that’s what it could be because I get heart burn every night. I may revisit my gastrointestinal doctor again. Thanks for the reply

      Anyone else get a lot of upper respiratory infections?

      Hi @HelloFlowersGoodbyeFlour I wonder if you suffer from reflux, as if you do, you may find it could also be irritating your airways. I shall explain: I have to use a blue inhaler from time to time, and it seems to be related to reflux. Never had any trouble before my coeliac diagnosis, the reflux seemed to be something that developed following...

      Anyone else get a lot of upper respiratory infections?

      Since initially getting your D checked a few years ago, has it since rebounded to normal levels? Sounds like at some point you got it checked again.

I did have a pulmonologist who wasn’t concern and said I seemed fine to him that I was young etc. But yes I think I should at the very least get a different opinion. Thank you for your reply

      Hi @HelloFlowersGoodbyeFlour I wonder if you suffer from reflux, as if you do, you may find it could also be irritating your airways.  I shall explain: I have to use a blue inhaler from time to time, and it seems to be related to reflux.  Never had any trouble before my coeliac diagnosis, the reflux seemed to be something that developed following a holiday to France in 2019, where I had been exposed to gluten.    The reflux continued into the autumn and winter, my throat itched to begin with, particularly after meals, but it then that feeling of irritation seemed to spread to my lungs.  I even found it difficult to breathe on occasion. What stopped it in its tracks was using a wedge pillow at night, following a reflux diet (you can find them online), not eating 2-4 hours before bed and also having a dose of Gaviscon Advanced at night, which forms a barrier so that acid/food can't go back up your esophagus.  The throat irritation faded, and then I found it easier to breathe again. Just mentioning in case it could be a contributing factor.
