Ok, my Betty Crocker cake was a bust for several reasons - all fixable but that's not it.

I ate a few pieces to try it...and now I feel gross.

It's cakey stuff. I don't think the cookies did it, but the cakey stuff does. I feel gross.

Chocolate chips, no problem. Ice cream, no problem. Junior Mints, no problem. Cake- PROBLEM.

Those cakes and cookies had the same ingredients, I swear! I bet the cookies had MORE.

Oh crap, what about powdered sugar???? C&H powdered sugar????? Yes, I'm thinking and typing at the same time.

Anyone have a problem with powdered sugar???

Whoa, wait a minute. I felt gross after eating the Pamela's cake too. Both of those mixes had the sugar in them. I wonder if it's SUGAR BEET sugar in those mixes and not cane sugar. Anyone know?

Anyone have an issue with beet sugar? I avoid it because it doesn't perform as well and purposely buy C&H because it's cane.

It's probably the xanthum gum or the guar gum. Trust me....

Are you sensitive to corn as well? I just read that a lot of powdered sugars are mixed with corn starch to keep them from clumping.

What about eggs?

Do you have any of the guidelines of ballbladder problems? Cake usually has mor fat in it than a cookie. Female, Forty(age is for determining toward the end of of fertile years, Fair, Where is your weight at?(with Celiac we know that weight really doesn't have anything to do with having problems or not.

I eat corn without problem, eggs without problem, and have been using xanthan gum (Bob's Red Mill) without problem.

Both mixes had everything in them except liquids. I used same C&H sugar in both. BRM xg in the cookies. And in my biscuits and pancakes.

It's just WEIRD.

I am thinking you are talking about the 4 "Fs" of gallbladder disease? Fair, Flatulent, Fat, and Forty?

Lol. Just found that online.

Interestingly, my doc said my bloodwork shows my liver is struggling a bit. Not suggestive of disease but consistent with Celiac stress and the corticosteroids i was on and she wants to retest in 6months. I've never had obvious gallstones or problems but it makes sense.

Cake makes me feel gross. And yes, gassy. I'm rather full of it this morning.

I don't have a problem with dairy (except iodine). I used half butter, half shortening.

I think it's the concentration of fats and sugars - and that the cake uses a ton of white sugar and powdered sugar compared to mostly brown Turbinado in the cookies.

Probably isy liver/gallbladder. Oh well, who needs cake, right?

Yup, all the F's a person can think of. Pretty f'd up huh?

I started belching/burping and feeling like I was going to puke. I had a stabbing pain in the back too.

I have a problem with sugar. I had a food allergy blood test done and it identified cane sugar as a problem (beet sugar was not tested). Not knowing the source of the sugar in my canister, I dumped my sugar and purchased beet sugar. Produced the same symptoms as glutening. I also a problem with honey, raisens and dates (think Lara Bars) but fruit is no problem--I have about four servings of fruit a day with no problem.

      Thoughts? Non-endoscopic Celiac diagnosis in two year old

      By Russ H · Posted

      The anti-endomysial antibody test is an old test that is generally reported as positive or negative - a lab technician looks down a microscope to check for fluorescence of the sample. It is less sensitive but more specific for coeliac disease than IgA tTG2. Hence, it is not "barely positive" - it is positive. People diagnosed in childhood recover much more quickly than adults.  I would look at testing all 1st degree relatives - parents, siblings.

      thank you RMJ! That is very helpful advice. Good to know we aren’t crazy if we don’t do the endoscopy. We are going to try the gluten free and see how symptoms and levels improve.    thank you Wheatwacked (love the username lol) that is also reassuring. Thankfully she has an amazing and experienced pediatrician. And yesss I forgot to mention the poop! She has the weirdest poop issues.    How long did it take y'all to start seeing improvement in symptoms?

      My son was diagnosed when he was weaned in 1976 after several endoscopies.  Given your two year old's symptoms and your family history and your pediatrition advocating for the dx, I would agree.  Whether an endoscopy is positive or negative is irrelevant.   That may happen even with endoscopy.  Pick your doctors with that in mind. In the end you save the potential trauma of the endoscopy for your baby.   Mine also had really nasty poop.  His doctor started him on Nutramigen Infant because at the time it was the only product that was hypo allergenic and had complete nutrition. The improvement was immediate.

      So her tissue transglutaminase antibody is almost 4x the upper end of the normal range - likely a real result. The other things you can do besides an endoscopy would be: 1.  Genetic testing.  Unfortunately a large proportion of the population has genes permissive for celiac disease, but only a small proportion of those with the genes have it. With family history it is likely she has the genes. 2.  Try a gluten free diet and see if the symptoms go away AND the antibody levels return to normal. (This is what I would do). Endoscopies aren’t always accurate in patients as young as your daughter. Unfortunately, without an endoscopy, some doctor later in her life may question whether she really has celiac disease or not, and you’ll need to be a fierce mama bear to defend the diagnosis! Be sure you have a good written record of her current pediatrician’s diagnosis. Doing a gluten challenge for an endoscopy later in life could cause a very uncomfortable level of symptoms.   Having yourself, your husband and your son tested would be a great idea.
