Cake...

l've never had birthday cake at my parties since l can remember, maybe age 3 or 4 was the last time.

 

l can't handle it. Dizzy,  nauseous, and generally feeling very weak after eating it, l tried to get into it in adulthood and no haps. So l have cheesecake which is amazing and no reaction (l dont love the crust, l think it makes me feel a little icky but not like fluffy cake).

 

why would this be a specific thing? Anyone experience it? l likely have bloodsugar issues/hypoglycemia but otherwise l thrive on sugar and it boosts my energy (if enough real food is eaten too).

 

l'm trying to look back on childhood things to see what bothered me when l had seemingly no symptoms of celiac/NGCS. These days l have the awful stomachache from pasta and while l didnt before, it never, ever made me dizzy and sick and still doesn't. Bread was also not a dizzy/sick issue, it just made me feel too quickly but hey...it's bread and it expands.

 

Ice cream, donuts, cheesecake and SOME cookies (except shortbread, same sick feeling there) have all been fine.

 

What's the deal with cake?

I was the same with cake. We would still have it on birthdays and my twin brother would scarf it down but I would eat the candles. Mom thought I was kind of weird but cake just didn't sit good with me.  I was also the only one who ever went to mass and took communion. I thought the lightheaded slightly off balance feeling I got was some part of the spiritual experience. Little did we know......

I could eat a half a cake now in one sitting. Gluten free of course.

Hmm yeah thinking back on times is interesting as you notice all those little things you took for granted.
Cakes...I would always just eat the icing....the cake gave me more of a tummy ache. Lemon bunt cakes, I ate the lemon toppings, Pizza, I would eat the toppings more often and only some of the crust, Pies I used to just eat the filling leave the crust unless it was nutgram based. OH Lemon squares I used to eat the lemon filling and leave the crust.....yeah bunch of odd things.

I always assumed from like Jr.High onwards when I started having vomiting issues after eating that it was normal.....you know eat puke up half your meal.....I putting on weight, slept most the days did not really think much on it.

Sorta funny how some breads triggered much worse then others. buns were evil, but this one toasted sandwhich I used to get at one place I could keep down.....and doughnuts extra crsipy from this one shop did not bother me as much as ones from a commerical company........

OH now days I use dairy free gluten free cheese cake extract in a ton of baked goods using almond and coconut flours. I also use it to make artisan almond butters and sell them. I make this wonderful gramcracker crust with almond meal, I posted on the recipe section that is quite useful. I also have a nice banana cinnamon cake recipe posted there and I think my old cinnamon roll cookie cake recipe is still posted there.

I was given a recipe called gluten free crazy cake. It looks pretty good.  It says it can be frozen.  Ingredients are:.

3 cups gluten free flour (1 cup brown or white rice flour, 1 cup sorghum flour and 1 cup potato starch)

1 tsp xanthan gum

3 cups warm water

2 cups sugar

1/2 cup baking cocoa

1 teaspoon salt

2 tablespoon vinegar

3/4 cup oil

Mix dry ingredients.  Add vinegar and water and stir.  Next add oil and stir.  Grease and flour pan.  Bake at 375 degrees for about 40 minutes.

Cool.

 

l actually did a lot of the things you did, Ennis_TX. and hated pizza until l was like 10, picked buns off of bread BUT l have to say l didn't have the digestive issues then. l always drank a crap ton of soda with carby foods though, for me it helps bloating which now leads to the god awful, eventual distention. lol.

 

l always felt like the cake problem was an alert to something but no idea what.  l have been totally sugar dependent throughout life and was willing to risk type 2 diabetes for morning Mountain Dew and a giant frosted honey bun throughout middle and high school. But sugar never made me sick like cake.

l did figure then since l was  always thin l could get away with it, but felt like something was off.

      Is McDonald's Safe for Gluten-Free Orders?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Hydrolyzed wheat is wheat protein that has been broken down into smaller components through a chemical or enzymatic process called hydrolysis. This ingredient can be found in various products, including cosmetics, personal care items, and some food products. For people with celiac disease, hydrolyzed wheat is generally not safe to consume because it still contains gluten proteins, even in its broken-down form. Though hydrolysis reduces the size of these proteins, it doesn’t fully remove the components that trigger an autoimmune response in people with celiac disease. In food products, hydrolyzed wheat protein still poses a risk and should be avoided. With regard to the McDonald's French fries, the total amount of hydrolyzed wheat in the flavoring is small, and the amount that ends up in an order of fries is even smaller, and likely below 20ppm. McDonald’s states that the fries are gluten-free by ingredient and free from cross-contact with gluten-containing foods in their dedicated fryers. Third-party tests and statements by McDonald's confirm gluten levels are below the FDA threshold for gluten-free labeling (20 parts per million or less). So, while McDonald’s USA fries may be gluten-free based on testing, some people with celiac disease still approach them cautiously due to the past concerns and individual sensitivities.

      Here is an excerpt from this article: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC82695:   Studies have shown that various peptidases of fungal, plant, animal, or bacterial origin are able to hydrolyze gluten into harmless peptides. According to SDS‐PAGE pattern, proteolytic enzymes hydrolyze gliadins (Heredia‐Sandoval et al., 2016; Scherf et al., 2018; Socha et al., 2019; Wei et al., 2018, 2020). Bacterial peptidase (Krishnareddy & Green, 2017), fungal peptidase (Koning et al., 2005), and prolyl endopeptidases (PEPs) (Amador et al., 2019; Janssen et al., 2015; Kerpes et al., 2016; Mamo & Assefa, 2018) thoroughly degrade gliadin fractions to decrease gluten concentration and influence celiac disease. Aspergillus niger derived PEP (AN‐PEP) were assessed in clinical cases for their impact on modifying immune responses to gluten in celiac patients (Lähdeaho et al., 2014). Guerdrum and Bamforth (2012) reported that PEP addition in brewing technology decreased the prolamin and all of the identified immunopathogenic gluten epitopes in beer production (Akeroyd et al., 2016). On the contrary, many of the recent investigations which employed enzyme‐linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), mass spectrometry, and Western blot analysis reported that PEP did not thoroughly destroy the whole gluten proteins (Allred et al., 2017; Colgrave et al., 2017; Fiedler et al., 2018; Panda et al., 2015), which indicates that beers treated with PEP are not safe for celiac disease patients. Anecdotally, this excerpt supports what we hear from the celiac community on this forum with regard to "gluten free" hydrolyzed wheat products and that is that some still react to them while many don't.

      Anybody else have a similar experience...theories welcome as its something which i dont really understand.....

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      There aren't good studies that have been done on celiac disease remission, and I'm going from a distant memory of an older post here, but the longest remission that Dr. Stefano Guandalini from the University of Chicago Celiac Disease Center has witnessed was ~10 years, then the symptoms of celiac disease and the damage came back. The real issue though, is that you still could increase your risk of various related diseases and disorders by eating gluten, but again, celiac disease remission has not been studies enough to know what health risks you might face.

      Scott, could you elaborate on hydrolyzed wheat? Does that remove or deactivate the gluten protein?

      McDonald's has a gluten-free bun, are you in Europe? They don't have that in the USA but I hope they are coming here soon. In the USA the fries are not considered gluten-free, even if they are made in a dedicated fryer, but many celiacs, including myself, have been eating them for years without issues. In Europe they don't have the same hydrolyzed wheat as an ingredient in their beef flavoring, like they do here in the USA. This is a controversial topic that I wanted to mention with you, but you can check the ingredients on the McDonald's website, as they can vary from country to country.
