What's the best gluten-free chocolate cake mix out there? I'm looking for a moist cake that has 'normal cake' texture. I am also dairy and corn allergic, but if you just know of a good gluten-free mix I'd love to know what it is and then I can check if its dairy and corn-free too. Thanks everyone!

We like the Namaste mix. It's dairy-free and other allergen free too, not sure about corn-free.

How corn sensitive are you? Can you have xanthan gum?

Namaste has my vote here, too. I actually haven't met a cake mix I didn't like yet, but Namaste's probably my favorite and it has the bonus of being free of many different allergens.

I made a cake with Bob's Red Mill gluten-free chocolate cake mix a couple of weeks ago. I used a non-dairy margarine, because my sister is also lactose-intolerant. Used a store-bought frosting that was also non-dairy (I don't remember the brand, maybe Pillsbury? It's the white one with sprinkles). The cake turned out FABULOUS!!!! It tasted great, I was so pleased. You should be able to find BRM cake mix at any grocery store.

We haven't tried many so I don't know if it's "the best", but we like Kinnikinnick.

I love Bob's Red Mill chocolate cake mix. NO RICE!! That's important to me. :) Make some butter cream frosting from the recipe on the back of the Ghiradelli cocoa power can, and you have the best chocolate cake I've ever made, gluten or not! My whole family demands this cake now for any occasion. :) :)

I'll vote for Namaste. My non gluten-free family loves it too! Makes great muffins as well.

We love Namaste, plus each package makes (2) 9" layers, so it's equivalent to a regular cake mix. Some other gluten-free cake mixes are almost as expensive but only make one layer. I bought a sampler of flavors from Namaste, but now buy the chocolate cake mix from A m a z o n dot COM (6 bags per order).

Namaste has my vote. Cherrybrook Kitchen also has a good one too.

      Years of testing - no real answers

      By trents · Posted

      Yeah, you may not have been consuming enough gluten to result in valid testing.

      Thank you for your reply. I was having about 2 slices of bread a day and other incidental gluten (occasional crackers and baked goods) so not reduced from my normal but not the 6 slices of bread like I’ve now seen suggested somewhere.

      Asking for Help Understanding Endoscopy/Biopsy Lab Results

      By Sking · Posted

      I just received my lab results from the endoscopy/biopsies to see if I have Celiac. My doctor's office said it could take up to two weeks for the doctor to read the results and contact me to interpret them. I am wondering if anyone can help me to understand my results? On one hand, it seems like maybe I don't have it, but have something called Brunner Glands Hyperplasia, on the other hand it says I have increased lymphocytes and villous distortion. I am very confused. How will the doctor decide if I do or don't have it? I am so confused about all of this from the start of the journey a year ago, I really appreciate people's time on here reading this and helping me understand. Thank you.   Anatomic Pathology Report Test Current Result and Flag Previous Result and Date Units Reference Interval Diagnosis synopsis: 01 Part 1-Gastric ,Upper GI Polyp(s), Excision, Stomach: PARIETAL CELL HYPERPLASIA IDENTIFIED.

Part 2-Duodenal mucosa shows preserved villous architecture and normal cellularity of the lamina propria. Brunner glands are identified. No gastric metaplasia is seen. No dysplasia or malignancy is identified. There are no viral inclusions. No Giardia, other parasites or other pathogenic organisms are seen. No Helicobacter pylori organisms are identified. Part 3-Increased numbers of intraepithelial lymphocytes are noted (>6 lymphocytes/20 enterocytes at villous tips). Duodenal mucosa also shows villous distortion and slightly increased cellularity of the lamina propria. Brunner glands are hyperplastic. Gross description: 01 Part 1-The specimen is received in formalin labeled "KING, SHOSHANNA, Gastric Polyp ".
