I am looking for a good chocolate cake recipe and would like to try Beverly Messner's Heavenly Chocolate Cake. But, I'm confused. The recipe calls for "100% corn flour (cornstarch)". In my understanding corn flour and cornstarch are two different ingredients and I would expect different results. Which am I to use, corn flour or cornstarch?

In my opinion, they are both the same. The corn starch wording is used buy the oriental language, whereas we say corn flour. I hope this will help

In 1995 he launched the site that later became Celiac.com to help as many people as possible with celiac disease get diagnosed so they can begin to live happy, healthy gluten-free lives. He is co-author of the book Cereal Killers, and founder and publisher of the (formerly paper) newsletter Journal of Gluten Sensitivity. In 1998 he founded The Gluten-Free Mall which he sold in 2014.

  Celiac Maybe a Possibility?
  
  Because you have significantly reduced your gluten intake over a considerable amount of time, it is likely that you will test negative on the antibody tests. However, if the $112 for the Quest test is not a burden, it wouldn't hurt to try. It tests for total IGA (to ascertain if you are IGA deficient) and tTG-IGA. If total IGA is deficient, it can result...

  Celiac Maybe a Possibility?
  
  These responses are all extremely helpful, ty. Really good reminder about omega 6. I also know I'm low in zinc; I took the zinc test where I drank it on a spoon and couldn't taste it. To that end, I try to eat a lot of oysters. I do think it would be a good idea to get the blood test. Two questions: 1- Is there any reason you wouldn't recommend...

  For me, with osteoporosis, Celiac and more than 1 heart condition, the slower, safer route is preferable. I'm on 5 meds per day. Too much of anything can disturb absorption of this or that. Have a Happy Thanksgiving. I'm gone for a few days.

While a one time massive dose can be used to quickly raise vitamin D levels, its effects only last three months. Because vitamin D is stored in fat, an obese person would require more...
