Hi! I am new to this forum! I am getting married in less than two months. I had a vendor booked to make a gluten-free wedding cake. Unforunately, she just cancelled. Please send me any vendors in the Washington, D.C. area that makes gluten-free cakes at a reasonable cost. Thank you so much!!!

If you don't get an answer here, you can check with the DCCeliac Yahoo group.

Here is a caterer in Baltimore that will do gluten-free. Open Original Shared Link I know of a bakery in Baltimore that is just gluten-free. Open Original Shared Link I don't know if they do wedding cakes, though; it seems like it if I read one of the posts correctly.

The other baker I saw from searching the archives is Clustered Spires Pastry S

285 Montevue Ln, Frederick, 21702 - (301) 662-7446

I am also getting married, not until February of 2008 but am in search of a gluten free wedding cake. I live in Tampa Florida. If anyone has any suggestions I would appreciate it.

Thanks :)

Have you ever seen the show Ace of Cakes on the Food Network? I've only caught it a few times (ok it was a marathon when I caught it and I think I watched for about 3 hours. LOL!), but it's this place Charm City Cakes in Baltimore and they make the most amazing creations. They are not a gluten free bakery, but they definately seem like the type that would be up for the challenge and make the most spectacular looking cake in the process.

And who knows because this would be a new challenge for them, maybe your cake would be on an episode they are filming for the show.

Here's the actual website (not the website of the show from The Food Network).

      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?

      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.
