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.

      GI DX celiac despite neg serology and no biopsy

      By trents · Posted

      If you were off gluten for two months that would have been long enough to invalidate the celiac blood antibody testing. Many people make the same mistake. They experiment with the gluten free diet before seeking formal testing. Once you remove gluten from the diet the antibodies stop being produced and those that are already in circulation begin to be removed and often drop below detectable levels. To pursue valid testing for celiac disease you would need to resume gluten consumption equivalent to the amount found in 4-6 slices of wheat bread daily for at least two weeks, preferably longer. These are the most recent guidelines for the "gluten challenge". Without formal testing there is no way to distinguish between celiac disease and gluten sensitivity since their symptoms overlap. However, celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder that damages the small bowel lining, not true of gluten sensitivity. There is no test available for gluten sensitivity so celiac disease must first be ruled out. By the way, elevated liver enzymes was what led to my celiac diagnosis almost 25 years ago.

      Then it does not seem to me that a gluten-related disorder is at the heart of your problems, unless that is, you have refractory celiac disease. But you did not answer my question about how long you had been eating gluten free before you had the blood antibody test for celiac disease done.

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By Xravith · Posted

      My genetic test results have arrived - I’m homozygous for DQB1*02, meaning I have HLA-DQ2. I’ve read that this is one of the genes most strongly associated with celiac disease, and my symptoms are very clear. I’m relieved that the results finally arrived, as I was getting quite worried since my symptoms have been getting worse. Next step, blood test. What do these results imply? What should I tell my family? I’m concerned that this genetic predisposition might also affect other family members.

      So far 3 months in - worsening symptoms. I have had the worst constipation in my life and I am primarily eating naturally gluten-free foods like potatoes, eggs, salad with homemade dressing, corn tortillas, etc. I hate gluten-free bread and pasta so I don't eat it. Occasionally I eat gluten-free almond flour crackers. As stated in the post, I don't have any vitamin deficiency. I was already tested.
