Hey,

Anyone have suggestions for good cake mix? I am looking for Cause You're Special mixes but my grocery stores don't carry it.

Thanks

Jennifer

The Gluten Free Pantry makes the best mixes I've tried so far, in my opinion. The Cake and Cookie Mix is very good. Also the Gingerbread Cake Mix. Their brownies are as good or better than Duncan Hines.

I second the Namaste chocolate cake mix. It is the absolute best. If given the choice I would eat this over any of the "normal" brands like Duncan Hines.

I use El Peto. It's a Cdn company. Their white cake mix and chocolate cake mix are amazing!

I second Gluten-Free Pantry and Namaste is almost better than sex (can I say that here?). I made namaste blondies with chocolate chips at Christmas and everyone gobled them up!

I've recently tried Pamala's chocolate cake mix and it is the best I've tried so far.

haven't tried Pamela's cake mix yet, but her brownie mix makes the best double chocolate cookies!!!

As far as the cake mixes I have tried, the Namaste has the best texture so far. Gluten free Pantry was good, but still a little grainy for my taste. Namaste chocolate cake is VERY rich and moist and just yummy, I used homemade chocolate butter frosting and almost wish I'd used either cool whip, or something lighter to frost with b/c it was so rich.

I just got off the phone with a friend that I had served cake to the last time she was here and I sent some home with her for her mom... she just called to tell me that her and her mom LOVED the cake and want the recipe (they are NOT gluten free) I told them it was Pamela's brownie mix, the recipe for cake is on the bag! The frosting was just a homemade fudge frosting with butter, cocoa, powdered sugar and vanilla... very simple! She just went on and on about how delicious and rich the cake was and could not believe that it was wheat free/gluten free! So, a non gluten-free reccommendation for the Pamela's brownie mix made into a cake!

      @knitty kitty The information you've provided is invaluable!

      Opinions on my test results/symptoms

      Scott, thanks so much for the thoughtful replies. My doctor did actually just re-order thyroid labs to see what is going on with my TPOs. I agree that will be interesting information. I think I know the answer to this, but as far as the biopsy . . .. that would be quite conclusive as far as celiac goes, but a negative result would not rule out NCGS...

      Vaccines

      I did some research and found out that vaccines put preservatives, sugar alcohols and metals in them. Which I have a intolerance too. I was supposed to do testing to find out metal's I was allergic to because I can't wear jewelry of any kind. Mayo felt I had other allergies also.

      Mayo is great and yes I had the same experience. They take you seriously and they check everything. I to wish other Dr's cared that much. I sure hope it's not refractory celiac also.

      Hidden Gluten in distilled vinegar

      @knitty kitty  The information you've provided is invaluable!  I have a lot more homework to do before we make the official switch but you have significantly increased my hope that we can get her off Miralax (she started at 3 years old and is almost 8!).  This weekend my husband and I plan to solidify all the details for a start point, then adjust as we go along.  I realize that everyone's body is different, then there's also the fact that she's a child but just out of curiosity if you don't mind sharing and if you'd rather not, no problem at all-how long did you take Miralax before switching and when you switched, did you just completely stop the Miralax or was there a period where you did Miralax and the supplements?  I plan to research that piece this weekend but just curious what you did.

      Scott, thanks so much for the thoughtful replies. My doctor did actually just re-order thyroid labs to see what is going on with my TPOs. I agree that will be interesting information.  I think I know the answer to this, but as far as the biopsy . . .. that would be quite conclusive as far as celiac goes, but a negative result would not rule out NCGS, correct? Does NCGS also cause damage to the lower intestine/leaky gut?  I appreciate the thought that I should be open-minded to other causes. I did not have dysautonomia on my radar, so I will look into that. From a quick scan at the potential symptoms it seems like almost anyone could convince themselves they have it, very broad! I can see why that is a tricky one to diagnose. I did also show low vitamin D, I'm in New England so that is somewhat common. I have a memory of low iron on some lab result as well but I can't find it, so I'll look into that. My cholesterol is high too, so working on that.  While the initial adjustment was tough, I have actually adapted fairly well to going gluten-free at home. The tough part for me is I love eating out and traveling, so that has been a challenge. I suppose if the answer ends up being NCGS then I could maintain a mostly gluten-free diet but also experiment with the occasional splurges. Snowboarding just doesn't feel right without a beer in the lodge . . ... cider is just not the same!  Thanks again.

      For individuals who have experienced negative reactions to the flu vaccine, there are alternative formulations that may reduce the risk of allergic responses. Traditional flu vaccines are typically produced using egg-based methods, which can pose issues for those with egg allergies. However, there are now several egg-free options available, such as cell-based and recombinant flu vaccines. Recombinant Vaccines (e.g., Flublok Quadrivalent): These are produced without the use of eggs and are grown in insect cells, making them a suitable option for individuals with egg allergies. Cell-Based Vaccines (e.g., Flucelvax Quadrivalent): These vaccines are also egg-free and are produced using mammalian cell cultures, which can be a safer alternative for those with egg allergies. Other Considerations: If you have had a reaction to a specific component of the flu vaccine (e.g., gelatin, preservatives, or antibiotics), discussing your medical history with a healthcare provider is crucial. They can help identify vaccines that exclude these ingredients. It's important to consult with an allergist or healthcare provider to determine the safest option based on your specific allergies and medical history. They can also provide guidance on pre-vaccination testing or desensitization protocols if necessary. Also, at @trents mentioned, could you be getting hidden gluten in your diet? Do you eat in restaurants? If so, this could be why you still have high gluten antibodies.
