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).

      Kroeger has quite a few Gluten free items.  Right now they are redoing my Kroeger store and are adding everything into the regular sections.  Since this was done some new ones have been added.  Publix and Ingles also have great selections. I actually shop Walmart and Food City to since prices on some items vary from store to store.

      Sorry but I don't have specific recommendations for doctors, however, starting out with good multivitamins/minerals would make sense. You may want to get your doctor to screen you for where you different levels are now to help identify any that are low, but since you're newly diagnosed within the past year, supplementation is usually essential for most celiacs.

      Yes, I can imagine. My celiac journey started with a rejection of a blood donation by the Red Cross when I was 37 because of elevated liver enzymes. I wasn't a drinker and my family doctor checked me for hepatitis and I was not overweight. No answers. I thought no more about it until six years later when I landed a job in a healthcare setting where I got annual CMP screenings as part of my benefits. The liver enzymes were continually elevated and creeping up every year, though they were never super high. My primary care doc had no clue. I got really worried as your liver is pretty important. I finally made an appointment with a GI doc myself and the first thing he did was test me for celiac disease. I was positive. That was in about 1996. After going on a gluten-free diet for three months the liver enzymes were back in normal range. Another lab that had gotten out of whack that has not returned to normal is albumin/total protein which are always a little on the low side. I don't know what that's about, if it's related to the liver or something else like leaky gut syndrome. But my doctors don't seem to be worried about it. One thing to realize is that celiac disease can onset at any stage of life. There is a genetic component but there is also an epigenetic component. That is, the genetic component is not deterministic. It only provides the potential. There needs also to be some health or environmental stressor to activate the latent gene potential. About 40% of the population have the genetic potential to develop celiac disease but only about 1% actually do.

      Hello @Heather Hill You are most welcome.  As a longstanding member and now mod of the forum, I am ashamed to say I find numbers and figures very confusing, so I rarely stray into the realms of explaining markers. (I've self-diagnosed myself with dyscalculia!)  So I will leave that to @Scott Adams or another person. However as a British person myself I quite understand that the process with the NHS can take rather a long time.  But just as you made a concerted effort to eat gluten before your blood test, I'd advise doing the same with eating gluten before a biopsy, in order to show if you are reacting to gluten.  It might be worth contacting the hospital or your GPs secretary to find out if they know what the current waiting time is. Here is a page from Coeliac UK about the current NHS recommendations. https://www.coeliac.org.uk/information-and-support/coeliac-disease/getting-diagnosed/blood-tests-and-biospy/#:~:text=If you remove or reduce,least six weeks before testing.

      Thanks again. My mom was diagnosed over 50 years ago with celiac so grew up watching her deal with the challenges of food. I have been tested a few times prior due to this but these results have me a bit stunned. I have a liver disease that has advanced rapidly with no symptoms and an allergy that could be a contributing factor that had no symptoms. I guess I’ll call it lucky my Dr ordered a rescreen of a liver ultrasound from 5 years ago that triggered this or I would likely have tripped into cirrhosis. It’s all pretty jarring.
