Need Help With Baking Ingredients


bexyobo

Recommended Posts

Hello ~ my name is Rebecca and I have a nephew who has Celiac Disease. My sister typically just bakes a gluten-free cake mix but I wanted to do something more homecooked for my daughter's birthday celebration at my house.

We are having a birthday party for my daughter and I wanted to make a flourless chocolate cake pops. I want to make 100% certain that the ingredients I will be using are safe. Can you all help me?

the recipe is as follows:

butter

*semisweet chcolate chips (for this I was wondering if I can use Hershey's Special Dark chcolate bar instead as I know regular choc chips from a standard store is not safe)

eggs whites and yolks

regular sugar

confectioners sugar

*Frosting - this one I definitely need assistance in which brand is safe.

I would appreciate any input or advice so I don't get my nephew sick and we are able to have a festive birthday party for my daughter.

Are all of these ingredients safe?

I use Nestle dark chocolate chips . I am unaware that they are unsafe but if you want to you can use their bar and break it up.

egg,,,sugar...confectioners sugars are fine I use any brand for these.

frosting = Betty Crocker has many gluten-free flavors it says Gluten free on back if safe , Pillsbury has a couple gluten-free flavors mainly vanilla and choc, again it says gluten-free on back

Since you are not a gluten-free house a few cooking safety tips. Bake the cake in a disposable pan (just to be sure) and mix ingredients in a very clean glass/steel bowl using non-wood, non-plastic utensils. If using butter make sure its from a new stick untouched . Do not use your hand mixer because it is contaminated with gluten, borrow a gluten-free one or use your bicep power.

I am sure your nephew will really appreciate your effort.

      Reese's Plant Based PeanutButter Cups are made with non-Gluten Free Oats and only states on the package Dairy Free.  Is it safe for Celiacs or those with Gluten Intolerance issues to consume?  I think Mars is taking a small step in the right direction concerning food allergies and wish they were Gluten Free.

      These items are on sale for $3.99 at Target: Choose from Choclate Chip, Grahams or Vanilla Wafers.   I purchased all 3 plus an extra Choclate Chip.  All are produced in a dedicate Gluten & Peanut Free Facility and other choices are available on amazon.com.

      I had these for years, covered in scars from them. Not had any since I started taking reishi and cordyceps tincture, they’re immune modulators, I think that’s how they work. Most of my other symptoms have also disappeared, I take a treble dose if I get glutened and it’s almost an instant fix, 3 days of mild symptoms instead of 3 weeks of horrible. Might be worth a try, don’t be put off by the caterpillars, I think they’ve found a different way of growing them now.

      Welcome to the forum, @LookingForAnswers101, I had similar experiences with boil outbreaks in the same areas.  Mine was caused by Candida Albicans and eating a diet too high in sugar and simple carbohydrates.   Candida is a yeast infection, so the antibacterial wash is not going to help.  I had to change my diet to a Paleo diet before it went away.  If I consume high levels of sugar or other simple carbohydrates (rice, corn, dairy, etc.), boils would occur at pressure points like the groin and back of the legs.  Your doctor might be able to prescribe an antifungal medication, but some of those antifungal medications destroy thiamine.  Thiamine is needed to keep fungal and bacterial infections in check.  I took Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine, but TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) will work, too.   Thiamine, and the other B vitamins, especially Niacin and Biotin, along with Vitamin A, Vitamin C, and Vitamin D will help keep skin healthy.  Be sure to address these nutritional deficiencies that occur with Celiac! Ask your doctor to rule out autoimmune hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) and Human Papilloma virus, too.   Hang in there!  You'll get over this rocky patch of the journey!  Best wishes! P. S.  Get checked for Type Two Diabetes as well.  Candida, type two diabetes and a high carbohydrate diet often go together.  A Paleo diet really helps me with my Type Two Diabetes and Candida overgrowth.

      As I mentioned, gluten intolerance encompasses more than just those with celiac disease, and in the past was used more like the term "gluten sensitivity" is used today.
