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.

      Thanks to those who have replied.  To Cristina, my symptoms are as follows: Dizziness, lightheaded, headaches (mostly sinus), jaw/neck pain, severe tinnitus, joint stiffness, fatigue, irregular heart rate, post exercise muscle fatigue and soreness, brain fog, insomnia.  Generally feeling unwell. To Trents, We didn’t do any of the construction but did visit the job site quite often.  While getting the old house ready we stirred up a lot of dust and I’m sure mold but haven’t been back there for over a month.

      Thank you so much for your response! I have a follow-up appointment with her pediatrician next week, and also an appointment with her pediatric GI Dr. Your message gives me some ideas for questions to ask the doctors. My daughter went strictly gluten-free in January following her first endoscopy so I’m guessing her diet is pretty solid. She is compliant but also reliant on others to make her food (at school and home) but she didn’t have this problem prior to the gluten challenge when she went strictly gluten-free. It really makes sense to me that the gluten challenge inflammation hasn’t healed and I will be asking her doctors about nutritional issues. I ask for anecdotal stories because the research surrounding the gluten challenge seems to be inconsistent and inconclusive (at least what I’ve been able to find!). Thank you so much for your response!

      While the positive endoscopy confirms the diagnosis, it's important to be skeptical of the idea that your daughter will simply "bounce back" to a pre-challenge state. The gluten challenge was essentially a controlled, prolonged exposure that likely caused significant inflammation and damage to her system; it's not surprising that recovery is slow and that a subsequent exposure hit her so hard. The persistent fatigue is a major red flag that her body is still struggling, potentially indicating that the initial damage hasn't fully healed or that her system is now in a heightened state of reactivity. Rather than seeking anecdotal timelines from others, her experience underscores the critical need for close follow-up with her gastroenterologist to rule out other nutrient deficiencies commonly caused by celiac flare-ups, like iron or B12, and to consult with a dietitian to scrutinize her diet for any hidden sources of cross-contamination that could be perpetuating her symptoms. 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.

Brain fog, like other celiac disease symptoms, does improve after you to 100% gluten-free, and supplementation will also help.

      Were you doing any of the new home construction yourself? Drywall compounds and adhesives used in construction have been known to cause problems for some celiacs.
