I had been buying real maple syrup, but stopped because of $$$. I guess I'll be going back. I just bought log cabin. only used it once. I feel awful. I keep glutening my son with supposedly gluten-free products! :angry:

I wish I could think of the brand name of the syrup I used. It was sugar free and on the back of the bottle it had clearly written "This product is free of Gluten". I was so excited, I had to buy it... it was pretty expensive.

Just thought I'd pass along a recipe my dad used to make al the time. It was sooo good. Vincent - it tates a lot like th Pancake Pantry in Nashville if you've been there.

1 c. water

1 c. sugar

2-4 tsp. Maple flavoring

Boil sugar and water until it starts to get thick. Add maple flavoring and serve with pancakes or waffles. It's a bit thinner than bought syrup, but I grew up on it and loved it. I think I'm going back to it now. I'm sure he did it to save $$, but it was great.

I use Log Cabin original, Aunt Jemina Origianl or Mrs. Butterworth's original. All 3 are gluten-free. Be careful about other varieties though, such as butter flavor, Lite or sugar fee. I have not checked all of those out, but maybe someone else has.

I eat Van's gluten-free waffles everyday for breakfast! :)

How are those Van's waffles? I bought some but haven't tried them yet!

I used to use Aunt Jemina...but I now use Wild Oat's amber--really good! I tried regular--real maple syrup before and was grossed out--but Wild Oats was good--tasted like the 'fake' syrup I was always used to :)

I really like the blueberry ones...the plain & apple cinnamon are good too. Did not care for the flax ones, but I don't think flax agrees with me so well.

We use real maple syrup but I make it last longer by adding jams and jellies to it. Smuckers jams are great in the syrup. I stir in a lump of jam, heat it for about 15 seconds in the microwave and stir and heat it again for a few seconds. Kids love it. Also, one of my kids won't eat syrup since I put cinnamon sugar on waffles one day. Now it's cheap cinnamon sugar only. Experiment and see if the kids will try other things on top.

Lifestream wildberry are our favorite. Flax had a crumbly consistency.

Mrs. Butterworth's sugar free syrup has gluten in it???? I have seen many conflicting thoughts.

I still haven't gotten a straight answer for Mrs. Butterworth's, but I think they are a Pinnacle food, too, right? I emailed specifically asking about Mrs. Butterworth b/c the dietician and I were talking about it. I stick with Aunt Jemima, although may give Kroger syrup a try. I did email Pinnacle again the other day and this is the response I got:

July 19, 2006

Dear Ms. Bouldin:

Thank you for taking the time to inquire about Pinnacle Foods Corporation

and the products we produce which might be gluten-free. We appreciate

your interest in our company and our products.

At the present time, Vlasic® Pickles, Sauerkraut and Peppers and Log

Cabin® Country Kitchen syrup are gluten-free. The vinegar used in

production of these items is corn-based, rather than wheat-based. Other

items in our product lines (which include Swanson® frozen foods, Mrs.

Butterworth's, and Open Pit® barbecue sauces) generally contain

wheat-based ingredients in the form of modified food starches and other

thickening agents.

While our manufacturing facilities follow generally accepted good

manufacturing practices, we do not have the flexibility of segregating

production lines for the exclusive production of wheat-free items. We

recommend that you review the list of ingredients on the package prior to

purchase to assure that you are meeting your specific dietary needs. Since

we are constantly improving our products, ingredients may change from time

to time.

We appreciate the time you've taken to share your specific concerns with

us, because it helps us to become aware of consumer needs. We hope you

find this information helpful.

Sincerely,

Darlene Peters

Consumer Response Representative

Only syrup I have found, and I don't like the real thing, is Log Cabin Country Kitchen brand. AND I found it in Walmart after looking everywhere. Got the Email from the maker of Log Cabin saying it was Gluten Free. Also, Walmart is going to start carrying some Gluten Free products by fall, a grocery clerk told me that part of an isle will be devoted to it. He proudly showed me the new offer of pancake mix which said Gluten Free on the front. still expensive but not as expensive as a reg. supermarket. Anything to get the price down!! BCL

      This Roller Coaster Ride Needs to Stop

      By Ginger38 · Posted

      Thank you for your kind words and encouragement. This has been the most difficult and confusing journey to date for me, and it has been going on since 2015/2016. The last dietitian I met with works with a lot of celiac patients, so I was excited, but she just thought I should be able to eat gluten free (whatever that may be) stay in a carb count and my diabetes would not be affected. WRONG. I have tried this several times since I crossed over to full blown diabetes, because I get so sick eating gluten that I end up getting frustrated and go back to gluten free to get some relief. I have a continuous glucose monitor so it is easy to see how my body and glucose are reacting to foods. Unfortunately my suspicions are correct. When I eat gluten-free foods -like Schar breads or rolls, or the crackers, including when I stay in my carb limit,  my sugar spikes and just sits there.. .it won;t even come back down for hours. So in the end it drives my overall glucose and A1C up. I can't really even eat oats or things like that. Cereal is very iffy. Gluten free pizzas, gluten free nuggets, and things like that majorly spike my sugar as well, again, even when staying in my carb limits. I already feel so limited on foods because of the diabetes so of course, when medical people and family and friends are like just go eat gluten, I have been like oh okay - maybe it is all in my head and hey its way cheaper to eat gluten and tastes wayyy better...and then I end up right back where I am today,. MISERABLE, just laying around in pain, spending all day in the bathroom, having accidents related to diarrhea, constant tremors, heart rate issues, chest pain etc. and I forgot about these terrible painful canker sores in my mouth right now, I can't even hardly eat or drink or swallow they hurt so bad.  Not being able to feel like I can eat gluten free is extremely frustrating. I had some great recipes and substitutes for things, and was at a decent place with all that, until the diabetes went crazy out of control, so gluten-free living seems to not be an option for me. However, eating gluten when I truly still believe I am celiac -just misdiagnosed- does NOT seem like a wise idea. I am honestly scared  I am going to get deathly ill from all this or something. I even asked my GI doctor, more like begged, if he would please just label me as celiac and tell me I was for sure (like he did before) so I could get the support I truly need. No such luck. He just keeps saying but your tests were okay 🙄 My family went to an arcade and pizza/pasta buffet yesterday - obviously I didn't want to miss out spending time with my family and my mom spent money paying for my meal/buffet - and I was hungry, so of course I ended up eating pizza and pasta that was not gluten-free, because they don't offer any gluten-free options, and then my brother and others want to ask can you eat that or are you supposed to, and I am like well no, and I will definitely pay for it. They think it is hilarious when I say things and then make comments, like how it is so fun to go out with me especially places like that because I am not supposed to eat but I just do it anyway and say I will pay for it 😥 just seems everywhere I turn it is pointless and I have no support

      Am I celiac or not?

      Just like you cannot be a little pregnant, you cannot be a little Celiac.  Here is an article I found that explains what the numbers mean. Are You Confused About Your Celiac Disease Lab Results? Here is another article about the non traditional symptoms of Celiac Disease. What Are the Symptoms of Celiac Disease? I've been taking 10,000 IU vitamin D3 since 2015.  My blood tests every 3 months for 25(OH)D have never gone above 93 ng/ml, even in the Florida summer.  70 - 100 is the body's natural homeostasis level. Surge of information on benefits of vitamin D "“When combined with supplemental magnesium, vitamin D repletion has dramatically changed my practice,” said McCarthy ... “There are now very few patients with infections, and asthmatics who are coming off medications are staying off of them. ... A lifeguard study that found vitamin D levels in the 70 ng/mL range up to 100 ng/mL (nature’s level) were associated with no adverse effects; ... Colon cancer data showing a reduction in the incidence of new cancer (linear) with postulated 0 point at 75 ng/mL;

      Interesting! Recent labs I had done did show that I was low in Vitamin D so I just began supplementing, it’s hard to tell so soon but it does seem to have a positive affect! Thanks for the input!

      Your frustration and exhaustion are completely valid, and many in the celiac and gluten-sensitive community can relate to the overwhelming confusion you're experiencing. You’re being pulled in different directions by medical advice that seems contradictory, and it’s heartbreaking that your efforts to feel better are met with so many setbacks. Positive TTG IgA antibodies are not something to brush off, especially when combined with your long list of debilitating symptoms that clearly worsen with gluten exposure. A negative biopsy does not necessarily mean you don’t have celiac disease—it’s entirely possible that damage was missed, especially since biopsy results can vary depending on where the samples are taken and how many are collected. It’s also true that celiac disease exists on a spectrum, and many people have serious symptoms and immune responses without yet showing classic biopsy damage. Managing diabetes alongside suspected or confirmed celiac disease is incredibly tricky, especially when healthcare providers don’t work as a team to support your whole health. You shouldn’t be forced to choose between controlling your blood sugar or protecting your gut and immune system. A well-planned gluten-free diet can be both nourishing and diabetes-friendly, especially with guidance from a knowledgeable dietitian who understands both conditions. It’s also deeply concerning that your symptoms—neurological issues, severe fatigue, GI distress, rashes, and more—are being dismissed. You’re not just describing discomfort; you’re describing a level of illness that’s life-altering, and your instincts that something is seriously wrong are absolutely worth trusting. You know your body better than anyone. You deserve a team that listens, believes you, and helps you build a realistic, sustainable path to healing. Whether it’s celiac disease, non-celiac gluten sensitivity, or something else, you have every right to go gluten-free permanently if that’s what makes you feel functional. Many people never get a “perfect” diagnosis but reclaim their health by honoring their own experience and choosing a path of least harm. You are not crazy, you are not weak, and you are not alone. Keep advocating for yourself—you and your daughter both deserve a healthier, more stable life.

      While a definitive causal link remains unclear, vitamin D's known role in immune modulation and intestinal barrier integrity suggests that it plays a significant role in the development and progression of celiac disease.  Reduced 25(OH)D levels are associated with celiac disease.  In celiac disease, gluten can damage these tight junctions, and vitamin D may play a protective role in this context.
