Thanks For The 'pancake As Bread' Hint!

I'm new here, lurking mostly. But someone had mentioned when talking about the problem of bread, making sandwiches, etc. that if you used a pancake instead of bread, it works just as well. I tried it!!! thankewwww! The bread has never satisfied me in terms of texture (falls apart with a sandwich) or taste really but I could stand it.

But omg, I got the gluten-free pancake mix and ta daaaa, wonderful sammich bread. So, whoever said it, thank you for the hint. It would never have occurred to me.

Also someone said that if you warm the gluten-free bread, it's more palatable. I hadn't thought of that either but I tried it and it's much better. Still prefer a pancake tho. :D The downside is now I 'm afraid I'll be eating sandwiches more than is good for me. :(

I'm glad you found something you like. It's amazing how many things we learn, just by reading posts, isn't it?

So, do you make pancakes and use them for bread, or do you make bread from the pancake mix?

I eat Van's gluten-free waffles with coconut oil, and over easy egg on top, and a drizzle of maple syrup. I have two for breakfast almost every morning. I just get tired of gluten-free bread with my eggs!

Carla, I have very little to choose from in our little city. They carry about 5 gluten-free items. Bob's gluten-free Bread (semi-vile) and Namaste Waffle & Pancake Mix. I make up the pancake mix (very thin) and freeze them. One pancake makes a nice sandwich (could also be used for pizza!!). I'm thrilled at learning this because that's the one thing that's driven me nuts: no way to make a sandwich that didn't crumble in my plate.

      It is just so sad that health care in the United States has come to this.  Health insurance should be available to everyone, not just the healthy or the rich.  My heart goes out to you.  I would not hesitate to have the test and pay for it myself.  My big concern would be how you could keep the results truly private.  I am sure that ultimately, you could not.  A.I. is getting more and more pervasive, and all data is available somewhere.  I don't know if you could give a fake name, or pay for your test with cash.  I certainly would not disclose any positive results on a private insurance application.  As I understand it, for an official diagnosis, an MD needs to review your labs and make the call.  If you end up in the ER, or some other situation, just request a gluten free diet, and say it is because you feel better when you don't eat gluten.      Hang in there, though.  Medicare is not that far away for you, and it will remove a lot of stress from your health care concerns.  You will even be able to "come out of the closet" about being Celiac!

      Yes, I've posted a few times about two companies: Request a Test and Ulta Labs. Also, pretty much we can all request any test we want (with the possible exception of the N protein Covid test and I'm sure a couple of others) with Lab Corp (or Pixel by Lab Corp) and Quest. I much prefer Lab Corp for their professionalism, ease of service and having it together administratively, at least in DC. And just so you know, Request a Test uses Lab Corp and Quest anyway, while Ulta Labs uses only Quest. Ulta Labs is cheaper than Request a Test, but I am tired of dealing with Quest, so I don't use them so much.

      PS - I think you meant this site, but I don't believe it has been updated in years: http://glutenfreedrugs.com/ so it is best to use: You can search this site for prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/

      A lot to think about here. Does anyone have any recommendations for third party laboratories that will do full panel celiac screens private pay in the U.S.?

      You don't need an official diagnosis to request a gluten-free diet in either a hospital or nursing home--this can be requested by anyone. The higher costs associated with existing conditions for life insurance is a reality, and regardless of your politics, it could become a reality again for health insurance in the USA. For many this could make health insurance unaffordable, thus, everyone who is undiagnosed should understand such potential consequences before they go the official diagnostic route. As mentioned, once it's on your medical record, it won't go away.
