I usually bake from scratch, but wanted to try this product. It is actually very good. Nice to have on hand for a quick snack. You have to keep an eye on it, though, because it took less time to bake than what the instructions say. I wish I had some ice cream to put on it, but I am pretty much snowed in. <_<

The devils food is great as is I just don't bake it as long as the directions state. The yellow is so so as is. I thought it to be a little on the dry side and cornbread like texture. I now add 2 oz of softened cream cheese to the batter and it turns out great. I bet sour cream or ricotta would work well too. I made two of the yellow cake with the addition for my youngest son's 6th birthday and the whole thing was gone the next day. My gluten eating husband was the one who put the biggest "dent" in it. :P

About yellow cake mixes.

I have a Pumpkin Gooey Butter Cake recipe from Thanksgiving (which I haven't made) that uses 1 box yellow cake mix, 1 egg, and 1/2 cup melted butter, mixed well, and patted into the bottom of a prepared 9x13 baking pan, This would be the "crust" I suppose.

Not a gluten-free recipe, but I'm thinking it could be adapted to gluten-free by simply using the Betty Crocker yellow cake mix. Kind of expensive "crust", but most gluten-free products are. I'm also wondering if one could use this for Cheesecakes, pies, etc.?

best regards, lm

Oh btw, the "top" of that recipe is eggs, butter, powdered sugar, vanilla, cream cheese, and pumpkin pie filling.

There's a thread somewhere else about this book, but if you're going to use the BC Cake Mixes, look for The Cake Mix Doctor Bakes Gluten Free. I borrowed a copy from the library and like it enough that I am going to buy my own. I'm pretty sure there's a recipe in there about making a crust with cake mix.

larry mac, would you please post the whole recipe . . . either here or start a thread in recipes. My family is all about all things pumpkin.

Regarding the BC cake mixes . . . that yellow cake mix really comes out dry whenever I make it as a cake. When I make cupcakes, they turn out just fine. When I bought the devil's food, I automatically just made cupcakes assuming it would do the same (don't know if it really would or not). I like my "from scratch" recipe better, but sometimes convenience wins out.

The yellow cake mix makes the BEST soft and chewy (not cake like) sugar cookies. They taste like the real deal. The recipe is on the Betty Crocker gluten free page. I have made them a bunch of times. They taste great with Nestle milk choc. chips mixed in too.

I just crush chex cereal with pecans a a bit of butter in the food processor. Makes a great cheesecake crust.

If you want a seriously sinful cheesecake crust, try using Pamela's dark chocolate choc. chip cookies as the base. Totally to die for...if you're a chocolate lover, of course :P

This sounds great...not to mention that it doesn't cost an arm and a leg!

Works for any recipe that requires a press in crust. ie:magic bars Open Original Shared Link

Thanks! I've been making those Magic Cookie Bars since the 1960's. I gave my DIL my box of graham cracker crumbs when I was first diagnosed. I should surprise her with some of these...I'm sure it will be a surprise, too!

Any gluten free cereal works and crushes nicely in a food processor. I have also thrown in gluten free gingersnaps for a crust for a pumpkin cheesecake and the natures path gluten free honey cornflakes.

      Has anyone had terrible TMJ/ Jaw Pain from undiagnosed Celiac?

      Segments of the protein Casein are the same as segments of the protein strands of gluten, the 33-mer segment. The cow's body builds that Casein protein. It doesn't come from wheat. Casein can trigger the same reaction as being exposed to gluten in some people. This is not a dairy allergy (IGE mediated response). It is not lactose intolerance...

      Wheat in cow feed would not equal gluten in the milk, @Wheatwacked, please back up extraordinary claims like this with some scientific backing, as I've never heard that cow's milk could contain gluten due to what the cow eats.

      Hello, @NanceK, I'm glad you're willing to give Benfotiamine with B Complex another go! I'm certain you'll feel much better. Yes, supplementation is a good idea even if you're healing and gluten free. The gluten free diet can be low in B vitamins and other nutrients.

      Oh wow! Thanks for this information! I’m going to try the Benfotiamine again and will also add a B-complex to my supplements. Presently, I just take sublingual B12 (methylcobalomin). Is supplementation for celiacs always necessary even though you remain gluten-free and you’re healing as shown on endoscopy? I also take D3, mag glycinate, and try to get cal...

      Hello, @NanceK, I'm glad you're willing to give Benfotiamine with B Complex another go!  I'm certain you'll feel much better.   Yes, supplementation is a good idea even if you're healing and gluten free.  The gluten free diet can be low in B vitamins and other nutrients. A nutritionist can help guide you to a nutrient dense diet, but food sensitivities and food preferences can limit choices.  I can't consume fish and shellfish due to the sulfa hypersensitivity and iodine content, and dairy is out as well.  I react to casein, the protein in dairy, as well as the iodine in dairy.  My Dermatitis Herpetiformis is aggravated by iodine.   Blood tests for B vitamin levels are notoriously inaccurate.  You can have deficiency symptoms before blood levels change to show a deficiency.  I had subclinical vitamin deficiencies for years which affected my health, leading to a slow downward spiral.  Because the B vitamins are water soluble, they are easily excreted in urine if not needed.  It's better to have it and not need it than need it and not have it.   Wheat and other gluten containing grain products have vitamins and minerals added to them to replace those nutrients lost in processing.  Manufacturers add cheap vitamins that our bodies don't absorb or utilize well.  Even normal people can suffer from vitamin deficiencies.  The rise in obesity can be caused by High Calorie Malnutrition, where people eat more carbohydrate calories but don't get sufficient thiamine and B vitamins to turn the calories into energy.  The calories are stored as fat in an effort to ration out diminishing thiamine  stores.    It's time to buy your own vitamins in forms like Benfotiamine that our bodies can use well.   Not sleeping well and fatigue are symptoms of Thiamine deficiency.   I'm certain Benfotiamine with a B Complex will help you immensely.  Just don't take them at night since B vitamins provide lots of energy, you can become too energetic to sleep.  Better to take them earlier in your day.   Do keep me posted on your progress!

Is supplementation for celiacs always necessary even though you remain gluten-free and you’re healing as shown on endoscopy? I also take D3, mag glycinate, and try to get calcium through diet. I am trying to bump up my energy level because I don’t sleep very well and feel fatigued quite often. I’m now hopeful that adding the Benfotiamine and B-complex will help. I really appreciate your explanation and advice! Thanks again Knitty Kitty!
