Gluten Free Pan Muffins Gobbled Up

We had our first ever block party for our street on Sat. and everyone gathered in the cul-de-sac in front of our house. I knew I would not be able to eat anything anyone brought because I would not be able to check the labels, blah, blah. So I take apple spice/walnut mini muffins with cream cheese coconut frosting. I had to stop my DH from eating them all before we took them outside but he's used to eating almost totally gluten free himself. Well the muffins were a huge hit, not only with the adults in the group but with the kids as well. They wanted to know where I got them......lol! I told them I baked them and they looked shocked - guess theirs moms aren't big bakers. I was the only person to bring homemade baked goods. Anyway, eventually some people got around to asking questions about why I wasn't eating the other stuff and Celiac and gluten came up and I was able to educate a few people but many of them knew someone with Celiac. It was pretty cool so if you get a chance to talk about gluten and Celiac I think you could help someone without even knowing at the time.

Congratulations! It always feels good when non-Celiac's enjoy anything you've made that is gluten-free. I'd love the recipe for your muffins/frosting if you care to share it. They sound yummy!

It was just the 123 Gluten Free pan bar mix made in a mini muffin pan (plus another small rectangle baking pan as it makes a lot). I added the walnuts and a little extra cinnamon and cloves to bump up the spices. For the frosting I used cream cheese and some powdered sugar and coconut flakes but to make a glaze consistency, I added some agave syrup as well. I did the frosting by taste - no measurements - sorry. It is really fun when gluten eaters gobble up gluten free goodies but they usually won't touch them if you put a 'gluten free' sign with them...lol!

Hi all

Thanks for the recipe it sounds delicious. I cannot wait. The entire family is trying to be gluten free. This is very hard especially with three kids. Any recipe like this one is most welcome.

Thanks for the posting.

Thanks, Floridanative--they sound great.

Pedro, I just posted a bunch of kid-friendly recipes on the baking thread--cookies, cakes, muffins, etc. Check them out, I haven't tried a bad one yet!

      Alcohol

      By James47 · Posted

      So as some of you already know I was 47 turning 48 before my diagnosis so a lot and a lot of internal damage. I no longer obviously drink beer unless gluten-free variants of it but does anyone else really struggle when just drink any sorts of alcohol now. I'm really thinking going tea total and avoiding it completely

      Hi CathiJean, Wipe those tears my friend.  Finding out that you have celiac just gave you the cheat code on how to start feeling better!  It may feel like a loss right now, but honestly within 6 months you will start feeling better.  Within a year you will look back and wonder how in the world did I survive feeling like that for what feels like a lifetime?  You mentioned 15 years, that's about how long I have been really ill as well.  I had told every doctor I saw that I kept getting sick, infections, hair loss, joint pain, etc. and nobody would listen to me until I turned 45.  I went in for a colonoscopy and the doc says how often do you have bowel movements and I said usually between 10-15 times a day.  Suddenly I had someone actually listen to me and the testing began.  What I can tell you is use this forum, talk to peers, read everything you can about how to gluten-free your kitchen, encourage your family to participate in your journey (trust me they love you enough to make the effort), how to order food in restaurants, and how to avoid cross contamination.  Accept that you will make mistakes and allow yourself grace as you implement your new normal and have a clear understanding that going gluten free will begin healing your body in ways that you will not even begin to understand until you actually do it.  So, have faith that the nutrient deficiencies that you are probably experiencing right now can be corrected and you are on a bright path to feeling SO much better.  Think about how incredible your mom journey is about to become as you begin to feel better!!  Your kids are going to be amazed at your energy levels, ability to play and go do stuff...you are leveling up knowing that you have Celiac.  Knowing gives you power my friend, harness it and have gratitude that it was discovered...even if the docs missed it - you know now and keep moving forward.  You got this!!

      Negative biopsy and seeking doctor recs in Los Angeles

      If you have been eating the gluten equivalent of 4-6 slices of wheat bread daily for say, 4 weeks, I think a repeat blood test would be valid.

      Negative biopsy and seeking doctor recs in Los Angeles

      By englishbunny · Posted

      it did include Total Immunoglobin A which was 135, and said to be in normal range. when i did the blood test in January I would say I was on a "light' gluten diet, but def not gluten free.  I didn't have any clue about the celiac thing then.  Since then I have been eating a tonne of gluten for the purpose of the endoscopy....so I'm debating just getting my blood test redone right away to see if it has changed so I'm not waiting another month...

      Welcome to the forum, @englishbunny! Did your celiac panel include a test for "Total IGA"? That is a test for IGA deficiency. If you are IGA deficient, other IGA test resultls will likely be falsely low. Were you by any chance already practicing a reduced gluten free diet when the blood draw was done?
