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!

      Welcome! It’s great that you’re getting answers through testing, even if it feels overwhelming right now. Your results show mostly normal ranges, but the weak positive in TTG IgG could suggest gluten sensitivity or early celiac—especially since you already react to gluten. Hashimoto’s and celiac/gluten issues often overlap, so it’s smart to investigate further. Hopefully your doctor will clarify next steps (maybe an endoscopy or gluten-free trial?). Either way, listening to your body is key. Hang in there, and keep advocating for yourself—you’re already on the right track! The next step is likely an endoscopy to confirm celiac disease, and for that, similar to the blood panel for celiac disease, you need to be eating lots daily in the weeks leading up to it. Let us know what your doc says.

      Hi Stephanie, I’m so sorry you’ve been going through such a frightening and overwhelming time. A celiac diagnosis on top of gastroparesis and gastritis is a lot to process, and your feelings are completely valid. It’s wonderful that you have such a strong support system—leaning on them (and your faith) will make this journey easier. The gluten-free transition can feel daunting at first, but it does get better with time, and many people find relief once their body heals. You’re not alone in this! Sending you so much strength as you navigate these changes.

      In the Europe the new protocol for making a celiac disease diagnosis in children is if their tTg-IgA (tissue transglutaminase IgA) levels are 10 times or above the positive level for celiac disease. According to the latest research, if the blood test results are at certain high levels that range between 5-10 times the reference range for a positive celiac disease diagnosis, it may not be necessary to confirm the results using an endoscopy/biopsy: Blood Test Alone Can Diagnose Celiac Disease in Most Children and Adults TGA-IgA at or Above Five Times Normal Limit in Kids Indicates Celiac Disease in Nearly All Cases No More Biopsies to Diagnose Celiac Disease in Children! This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease. One test that always needs to be done is the IgA Levels/Deficiency Test (often called "Total IGA") because some people are naturally IGA deficient, and if this is the case, then certain blood tests for celiac disease might be false-negative, and other types of tests need to be done to make an accurate diagnosis. The article includes the "Mayo Clinic Protocol," which is the best overall protocol for results to be ~98% accurate.

      Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The good news is that after your gut heals (for most people who are 100% gluten-free this will take several months to two years) you may be able to slowly add some these items back into your diet after the damaged villi heal.

      Technically speaking they should be gluten-free and below 20ppm, however, it is possible that a batch was somehow contaminated and is over that level. It's also possible that you are sensitive to another ingredient.  This article, and the comments below it, may be helpful:
