Betty Crocker Gluten Free Devils Food

Soooo.... I'm fine.

I no longer feel like I am going to get sadder and sadder being gluten free. I baked a batch of cupcakes from Betty Crockers Gluten Free Devils food cake and while the batter tasted like chalkboard mixed with sand...The cupcakes were delicious. Perfectly moist and lovely. If you had handed me a regular poisonous cupcake, and a gluten free one, I am not sure I would have been able to tell the difference.

Has anyone tried the gluten-free bisquick?

Yes, I like gluten-free Bisquick for pancakes and have used it for a couple of other things. I've also used the cake mixes and brownie mix. If you're interested in picking up a cookbook using the cake mixes, The Cake Mix Doctor Bakes Gluten-Free is a good one. I made a Chocolate Chip Cake and Darn Good Chocolate Cake from that cookbook (both bundt cakes).

If you go to Open Original Shared Link and do a search for gluten-free, you'll come up with a bunch of recipes.

Yes we love the gluten free Betty Crocker line. The devils food cake is great. The yellow cake mix is good but to make it moist it needs a little TLC. I mix 2oz of softened cream cheese into the batter and pull it out of the oven a little early (still a few fudgy crumbs on the toothpick) and it turns out great. I was talking to a mom in my son's kindergarden class and she says that she "sweats" her cakes to get them super moist. I didn't know what she meant so she said basically take the cake and put into something you can cover and while it cools it retains the moisture. I may give it a try with the yellow cake.

We also love the bisquik mix. We regularly make pancakes and waffles. Just the other day I made snickerdoodles out of it and they were fantastic. Here is a link:

I needed to make a dessert for a dinner invitation recently. So, it was time to break out the Betty Crocker gluten-free cake mix. It was the yellow cake version. The cake rose just like a regular cake. I had to slice the top part in order to apply the frosting. I chomped on the extra parts uncontrollably. Let me tell you, it was so good. I made a cream cheese frosting with chocolate chips and then layered cherry pie filling on top of it all. Don't know if the cherry filling was gluten-free or not. I didn't experience any symptoms. The rest of the non-gluten-free party enjoyed the dessert and the lady of the house cut a big portion out to keep for herself! It's not as moist as the regular cake mix but not bad either!

      In general with pharmaceutical products cross-contamination is a much lower risk.

      Here is more info about how to do a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood panel, or for an endoscopy: and this recent study recommends 4-6 slices of wheat bread per day:

      Just so you'll know, once you have been gluten-free for any length of time, it will invalidate testing for celiac disease.

      Yes. I have not been tested for celiac. It took forever to get diagnosed with Fibromyalgia. lol. I have an appointment with my regular GP later this month and will convey my findings on improved symptoms and see what his thoughts are. Thank you.

      Refractory celiac disease

      @Grahamsnaturalworld, It's never too late.   Have you been checked for Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth?  SIBO can cause ongoing symptoms.  Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS) and Histamine Intolerance (HIT) can also be the cause of ongoing symptoms.  The AIP diet can help with these by starving out SIBO bacteria and calming the immune system. Do you include dairy in your diet?  Casein in dairy can cause an autoimmune response the same as to gluten.  Have you been checked for lactose intolerance?  Some people lose the ability to produce the enzyme, lactase, needed to digest lactose, the sugar in dairy because the villi where the lactase enzyme is made are damaged.  AIP diet excludes dairy. Do you include grains in your diet?  Gluten free alternative grains and ancient grains can be inflammatory and cause symptoms.  Some people with Celiac react to corn and oats.  The AIP diet excludes all grains.  Lectins in grains can be inflammatory and cause symptoms. Do you eat nightshades (tomatoes, potatoes, peppers, and eggplant).  This family of plants produce glycoalkaloids, chemicals that promote Leaky Gut Syndrome.  The AIP diet excludes nightshades.   Are you on any medications?  Some medications can cause gastrointestinal symptoms.  Do you take any supplements?  Some herbal teas and supplements can cause digestive symptoms.  Medications for diabetes, antidepressants, and other pharmaceuticals can cause digestive symptoms as side effects. Have you been checked for nutritional deficiencies?  Malabsorption of essential nutrients can occur with continued symptoms.  Deficiencies in Niacin, Thiamine, and other B vitamins can cause digestive symptoms.  Gastrointestinal Beriberi and Pellagra are often overlooked by doctors because they are not familiar with nutritional deficiency disease symptoms.  Nutritional deficiencies can worsen over time as stores inside the body are depleted.   Have your doctors checked for all these?   I had a horrible time getting my symptoms under control.  I had to answer all these questions myself.  Yes, it's frustrating and exasperating because doctors don't have to live with these symptoms everyday.
