Betty Crocker Gluten Free Devils Food

Soooo.... I'm fine.

I no longer feel like I am going to get sadder and sadder being gluten free. I baked a batch of cupcakes from Betty Crockers Gluten Free Devils food cake and while the batter tasted like chalkboard mixed with sand...The cupcakes were delicious. Perfectly moist and lovely. If you had handed me a regular poisonous cupcake, and a gluten free one, I am not sure I would have been able to tell the difference.

Has anyone tried the gluten-free bisquick?

Yes, I like gluten-free Bisquick for pancakes and have used it for a couple of other things. I've also used the cake mixes and brownie mix. If you're interested in picking up a cookbook using the cake mixes, The Cake Mix Doctor Bakes Gluten-Free is a good one. I made a Chocolate Chip Cake and Darn Good Chocolate Cake from that cookbook (both bundt cakes).

If you go to Open Original Shared Link and do a search for gluten-free, you'll come up with a bunch of recipes.

Yes we love the gluten free Betty Crocker line. The devils food cake is great. The yellow cake mix is good but to make it moist it needs a little TLC. I mix 2oz of softened cream cheese into the batter and pull it out of the oven a little early (still a few fudgy crumbs on the toothpick) and it turns out great. I was talking to a mom in my son's kindergarden class and she says that she "sweats" her cakes to get them super moist. I didn't know what she meant so she said basically take the cake and put into something you can cover and while it cools it retains the moisture. I may give it a try with the yellow cake.

We also love the bisquik mix. We regularly make pancakes and waffles. Just the other day I made snickerdoodles out of it and they were fantastic. Here is a link:

I needed to make a dessert for a dinner invitation recently. So, it was time to break out the Betty Crocker gluten-free cake mix. It was the yellow cake version. The cake rose just like a regular cake. I had to slice the top part in order to apply the frosting. I chomped on the extra parts uncontrollably. Let me tell you, it was so good. I made a cream cheese frosting with chocolate chips and then layered cherry pie filling on top of it all. Don't know if the cherry filling was gluten-free or not. I didn't experience any symptoms. The rest of the non-gluten-free party enjoyed the dessert and the lady of the house cut a big portion out to keep for herself! It's not as moist as the regular cake mix but not bad either!

      Celiac or Addison's complications? Can someone share their experience?

      By trents · Posted

      @KRipple, thank you for the lab results from your husband's celiac disease blood antibody testing. The lab result you share would seem to be the tTG-IGA (Tissue Transglutaminase IGA) and the test result is in excess of 10x normal. This is significant as there is an increasing tendency for physicians to grant a celiac disease diagnosis on the basis of antibody testing alone when the scores on that particular test exceed 10x normal. This trend started in the UK during the COVID pandemic when there was tremendous pressure on the medical system over there and it has spread to the USA. The tTG-IGA is the centerpiece of celiac disease blood antibody testing. All this to say that some doctors would grant a celiac disease diagnosis on your husband's bloodwork alone and not feel a need to go forward with an endoscopy with biopsy. This is something you and your husband might wish to take up with his physicians. In view of his many health issues it might be wise to avoid any further damage to his small bowel lining by the continuing consumption of gluten and also to allow healing of such to progress. The lining of the small bowel is the place where essentially all of our nutrition is absorbed. This is why celiac disease when it is not addressed with a gluten free diet for many years typically results in additional health problems that are tied to nutritional deficiencies. The millions and millions of tiny finger-like projections that make up the nutrient absorbing surface of the small bowel lining are worn down by the constant inflammation from gluten consumption. In celiac disease, the immune system has been tricked into labeling gluten as an invader. As these finger-like projections are worn down, the efficiency of nutrient absorption becomes more and more compromised. We call this villous atrophy.

      Thank you so much! And sorry for not responding sooner. I've been scouring the hospital records and can find nothing other than the following results (no lab info provided): Component Transglutaminase IgA   Normal Range: 0 - 15.0 U/mL >250.0 U/mL High   We live in Olympia, WA and I will be calling University of Washington Hospital - Roosevelt in Seattle first thing tomorrow. They seem to be the most knowledgeable about complex endocrine issues like APS 2 (and perhaps the dynamics of how APS 2 and Celiacs can affect each other). His diarrhea has not abated even without eating gluten, but that could be a presentation of either Celiac's or Addison's. So complicated. We don't have a date for endoscopy yet. I will let my husband know about resuming gluten.    Again, thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with me!

      Hi Phosphone, did you ever figure out what elevated your DGP?  I am in the same boat.

      Scott makes a good point about the prednisone. It has a general suppressing effect on the immune system. Don't misunderstand me. In view of your husband's several autoimmune afflictions, it would seem to be an appropriate medication therapy but it will likely invalidate endoscopy/biopsy test results for celiac disease.
