Hi Everyone! I am brand new to the board, I have been reading posts for a few months now and everyone is so helpful! I have learned so much just reading all of your posts. I was diagnosed in the fall with Celiac, and I have been gluten free ever since!

I am getting married in August in Southern California and I was wondering if anyone had any ideas as to how to handle our wedding cake?? Does anyone know of any gluten free bakeries in the Los Angeles area? Any ideas or suggestions would be so helpful!

Thank you all!

Bette Hagman's Italian Cream Cake recipe is a great "Special occasion" cake - but you need to like nuts and coconut!

There are other's who have been married with gluten free cakes - sometimes you can make your own cake (or at least the layer the two of you will be eating from) and then have someone else frost and decorate it (but make sure you okay the frosting with the cake decorator so you're sure the frosting is gluten free).

Also, my cousin had a backyard reception after being married. I took a couple of gluten free cakes because so many of our family members have celiac. (One was chocolate, and one was a carrot cake). Interestingly enough, the gluten free cakes were gone LONG before the other cake . . . and it was NOT just the celiacs who were eating them! No one knew they were gluten free . .. they just knew they were good!

Congratulations!

To be honest, I wouldn't bother with a gluten-free wedding cake. We got married in June and had a large wedding. There was no way that I was going to bake a cake for 200 people nor was there a certified gluten-free bakery in the area. So we got a really good baker who baked our bride & grooms cakes and everyone LOVED them. I, obviously, did not eat any and i really don't regret it.

gluten-free Betsy - I'd love the carrot cake recipe if you'd share! You can PM me, or post in another thread - don't want to hijack this one!

Congrats on your wedding - I hope you find a solution to your cake! :D

The carrot cake recipe is in the desserts section of www.eatingglutenfree.com.

Just don't try to make cupcakes out of it . . . they end up looking like Mt. St. Helen's after the explosion . .. mostly crater! :lol: Of course, that way you get to use a LOT of cream cheese frosting on the top . . . which is delicious!

Our baker was WONDERFUL! We gave her a gluten-free cake mix to use on the top layer of our cake and the rest of the cake contained gluten. She separated the layers with cardboard. We ate off the top layer for the pictures and left the rest of the cake for our guest. We saved tons of money doing our cake this way.

      Indeterminate transglutaminase iga

      I've never heard it said that celiac disease is a connective tissue disease. It is an autoimmune disorder that (classically) attacks the lining of the small bowel but we now know it can manifest in other body systems. It is also true that autoimmune disorders tend to cluster. That is, when you have one you often develop others.

      I did for a week, though that was 4 weeks before I had the test done. The doctor told me the lab rang her and said they hadn't seen results like it in their lab. Them being nearly all indeterminate that is. I also tested positive for a multiple connective tissue disease but when they did further testing it was all indeterminate too (I've only just realised that celuac is a connective tissue disease)

      So, it sounds like you may have already been avoiding gluten before the blood draw was done for the antibody testing. Is this correct?

      Test says no, but body says Yes?

      Welcome to the forum, @Travel Celiac! The high total IGA does not indicate that your celiac disease is actively flaring up. Total IGA is not a test for celiac disease per se but rather is test given to determine if you are IGA deficient, which you are not. IGA deficient people will experience artificially low individual IGA antibody tests such as the tTG-IGA and can result in false negatives.  The other question is why is your total IGA count high? That can indicate other health issues besides celiac disease so I suggest you research that question and also talk to your physician about it. Here is an article that explains the various tests that can be run to detect celiac disease and the significance of the total IGA test: Having said all that, I gather that for some reason you are under the mistaken impression that, having been diagnosed with celiac disease some years ago, your recent antibody test should still show elevated levels if you actually do have celiac disease, at least when you have accidental gluten exposure. I think you misunderstand how this all works and what the testing is designed to detect.  When someone has celiac disease, the consumption of gluten triggers an autoimmune response that, typically, causes inflammation in the lining of the small bowel. This inflammation produces specific antibodies that can be detected by serum testing specifically designed to look for these antibodies. Upon the onset of celiac disease, it can take weeks or months of consistent exposure to gluten for the serum antibody levels to build up to the point where they are detectable by the tests. Once gluten is  removed from the diet, inflammation begins to subside and antibody levels begin to drop. An occasional gluten exposure will not result in restoring antibody levels to detectable amounts once they have receded to normal levels after going gluten free. Again, it takes weeks or months of consistent gluten ingestion for the antibody counts to reach sufficient levels to produce a positive test result. Yes, you still have celiac disease but it looks like from your recent tTG-IGA test result that you are doing a good job with the gluten free lifestyle.

      Thank you. Yes I was referring to total iga - it came back as <0.15 I've also had the deamidated gliadin peptide IgA and IgG both of which were indeterminate on 2 tests. Third test the IgG was <1. I'm having the biopsy in two days. Pretty much anything I eat apart from vegetables makes me quite sick now.
