Dairy Free, Egg Free, Gluten Free Frosting?

Hello everyone! It has been so long since I've been on here, that's what you get for your computer frying. Anyway, I am helping out with a convention for kids that stutter and their families this weekend (Saturday). They are planning on making cupcakes, and decorating them as well as having pizza for lunch. I volunteered to take care of people with allergies, so I need to avoid as many as possible. I would love to make it all by scratch, but I don't have time. I have found a good egg free, nut free, peanut free, dairy free, and gluten free boxed mix for the cupcakes.

My/your mission:

I need a gluten free, egg free, dairy free, nut free, peanut free (soy free would be nice)

frosting recipe

pizza idea

These need to taste awesome, as much close to the normal stuff as possible. This day is for the kids to feel like they are at least normal for one day since stuttering is such a big, emotional fight for many of them, I don't want them feeling left out because of food allergies and it is important that I provide them with good alternatives.

THANKS

Thank you again Jane.

I can only find it at my health foods store. Or I'm sure you could find it online.

Wouldn't coconut oil also work?

Coconut oil might work, it just might be a little thinner/runnier than shortening based frosting since coconut oil has such a low melting point.

Bob's Red Mill gluten-free pizza crust mix looks like it might work with your stipulations if you use an egg replacer.

You can buy Spectrum at Whole Foods for sure. I've also seen it at regular grocery stores like Kroger. It's usually right next to Crisco.

      Waiting on biopsy results but wanted opinion on bloodwork

      Thank you! Eating out/take out has been half of my meals for a while so you are correct that this will be my biggest challenge. This has been a journey and I appreciate your help!

      "Bonus points". I like that analogy!  At this point, the following article might be helpful: Eating out will be the biggest challenge and will present the most threat to avoiding gluten since you don't have control over how food is prepared and handled back in the restaurant kitchen. Become comfortable with asking questions of restaurant staff and requesting that your food be cooked in clean pots/pans/surfaces that haven't been used for gluten containing foods since last washed. In time, you will become more comfortable with taking control in these situations and learn to be appropriately assertive. One thing that will take time for you to get a handle on is how sensitive you are to minor amounts of gluten such as you might get in cross contamination scenarios. Each of us is different in that sense and there is no substitute for personal experience. When in doubt, however, avoid foods that you feel may be significantly cross contaminated. Better safe than sorry. In time, you will develop a sixth sense about these things.

      Thank you!  Yes - labs are above but Deamidated Gliadin was super high, tTG was a weak positive and Immunoglobulin A was way below normal which gives "bonus points" to the positive tests because it can also cause false negative results.  This information confirms my thinking and I really appreciate your feedback!!!

      By far, the most likely cause of villous atrophy in the Marsh 3 range is celiac disease but there are other possible causes. Did you also have positive antibody tests? My guess is that when you see your physician he/she will declare you to have celiac disease. Of course, the ultimate proof of the pudding will be if you experience definite improvement in symptoms after going gluten free which, since you have now completed testing, you should begin to do.

      Hi again - I received the biopsy results but haven't had follow up appointment with Dr. yet.  Wondering if you could comment on this: "Duodenum, random, Biopsy (Cold Forceps): MILD VILLOUS BLUNTING WITH PROMINENT INTRAEPITHELIAL LYMPHOCYTES, CONSISTENT WITH SPRUE (MARSH TYPE 3A). See Comment. Negative for Infectious Organisms, Dysplasia or Malignancy. COMMENT: While characteristic, the histologic findings are not diagnostic for gluten-sensitive enteropathy / celiac disease. A number of additional entities can enter into the differential diagnosis of celiac disease based on the histologic features, including tropical sprue, bacterial overgrowth / stasis, unclassified sprue, specific food allergies, many drugs including NSAIDs, olmesartan and immune checkpoint inhibitors, and a wide range of autoimmune diseases including adult-onset autoimmune enteropathy, diabetes, thyroiditis, lupus and multiple sclerosis and occasionally common variable immune deficiency. History of drug take, celiac serologies, HLA-DQ status and response to a gluten-free diet might be a key for a definitive diagnosis" They say "consistent with Sprue (Marsh Type 3A)" and then comment that the findings are not diagnostic for celiac disease.  I thought Marsh type 3 was conclusive (and I know that 3A is the best outcome as it relates to intestinal damage). Is this just normal caveat language or am I missing something?  I had appt scheduled for tomorrow but Dr. is sick and now rescheduled to over a week from now.  Appreciate any insight you can offer in the mean time.  Thanks!!
