Can I Use Nearly Normal Flour Mix For Cupcakes?

My having my daughter's birthday party this weekend and plan on making 2 cakes and cupcakes. The cupcakes will be gluten free and I may make 1 cake gluten-free too. I always bake cakes from scratch but I'm not very confident about gluten-free cakes. I keep the Nearly Normal flour mix (I mix my own) in the kitchen, do I substitute it cup-for-cup for regular flour?

Also, I see a lot on here about frosting. I always use buttercream frosting, do some contain gluten?

You should be able to use your alternative flour without any issue. I've done that with all my recipes and been pleasantly surprised by how easy it was. I use Tom Sawyers.

Watch your frostings -- obviously if they have cookie crumbles in them, they are a no go. Apparently some can be an issue, though I've never had a problem. I like to make own frosting, too, though. :)

I'm gluten,dairy and soy intolerant, so I have to make my own frosting....never had a problem.

      Weird Symptoms

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Your symptoms would not be typical celiac disease symptoms, but still could be related due to possible nutrient deficiencies.  The most common nutrient deficiencies associated with celiac disease that may lead to testing for the condition include iron, vitamin D, folate (vitamin B9), vitamin B12, calcium, zinc, and magnesium.  Unfortunately many doctors, including my own doctor at the time, don't do extensive follow up testing for a broad range of nutrient deficiencies, nor recommend that those just diagnosed with celiac disease take a broad spectrum vitamin/mineral supplement, which would greatly benefit most, if not all, newly diagnosed celiacs.

      This is a difficult situation, and one that your employer may not take seriously. It's possible that they don't have a way to accommodate your issues, but I don't know much about your work environment. Obviously moving you to another work area would be ideal, but would or could they do that? If not, you might be stuck having to wear a K95-type mask at work to avoid breathing any particles, but they still could end up on your skin. Another alternative is searching for a new job.

      Has anyone found Ozempic affected their symptoms?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      This is an interesting theory, but it’s important to note that Ozempic, while it does slow digestion, doesn’t change the body’s immune response to gluten in individuals with celiac disease. Even if symptoms seem reduced, the immune system is still triggered, which can cause the same long-term damage to the intestines, regardless of symptom severity. Regarding sourdough bread, while it may have lower levels of gluten depending on how it’s made, it’s still not safe for people with celiac disease unless it’s explicitly gluten-free. The immune response to gluten in celiac disease is triggered by even tiny amounts of gluten, so adhering strictly to a gluten-free diet is essential for health and healing. If you suspect Ozempic or other factors are influencing your symptoms, it might be worth discussing with your healthcare provider or a specialist to ensure you’re fully addressing your health needs.

      This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease. Re: tTG-IgA:
