My older girls are new to the gluten free diet and disappointed that they can't have Grandma's pancakes or French toast this weekend when they visit. Is there a good baking mix or pancake mix I can pickup for her to use? I was looking at Namaste, but am open to any suggestions.

Namaste is my preference - made with almond milk. Even my "doesn't like gluten-free flours" husband enjoys the pancakes.

Namaste also gets my vote. I fed them to my whole family (not gluten-free people) over christmas break and they liked them!!

We use Kinnickinnick pancake and waffle mix. Everyone loves them! I use it more for waffles cause then I can freeze them and kids can pop a waffle in at breakfast.

We also used this mix at a scout camp - thought it safest to make gluten free pancakes for everyone... to avoid cc... all the kids said they tasted better than their moms! :)

Me too :P I use club soda for the liquid, my dad couldn't tell the difference when he was here. He just about flipped when I sat down and grabbed some pancakes :lol:

The Gluten Free Pantry! Sometimes, my non-gluten-free husband and I have them for dinner with bacon or ham. We both love them :)

When I have them, which isn't often, I like Pamela's. But I have only tried Pamela's and some other one, and I can't remember the name of the other one, but it was dense, so I went back to Pamela's.

I make my husband Pamela's - I think it tastes the best. Unfortunately, I can't eat it anymore because of the xanthan gum, but it doesn't make me sick to make it for him.

I used Guhlia's waffle recipe yesterday and we LOVED those. So if you're looking for waffles....

Back when I could have dairy, I did enjoy the Pamela's mix. Those were good. (They have buttermilk powder.)

Looks like you've gotten plenty of pancake suggestions, so I'll address the French Toast dilemma. If you buy a loaf of Ener-G Foods Light Tapioca Bread you (or Grandma) can make delicious French Toast using the same recipe as "normal". My gluten eating kids actually prefer it to "regular".

I'm going to chime in with Pamela's. I have non-gluten-free friends who buy it now just cause it tastes so good. I think its the almond flour that does it for me. I'm very much a small griddle cake pancake type person, and these are perfect for that.

Yes, Pamela's are excellent as well, unfortunately we can't get them here, and I hate paying shipping costs. :(

Oh man, you do *not* want to know what I paid for shipping for 30 pounds of Namaste pancake mix. Ouch!

My favorite is the Really Great Food Co. also, but b/c I can't find it here and shipping is so expensive, I usually use Pamela's (not as fluffy though). I order Pamela's in bulk from amazon - very cheap!

Lonewolf, funny you mention the french toast - I orderd the energ light tapioca bread from amazon and since it comes in a box with 6 loaves, I made french toast one morning and my husband and I ate THE WHOLE LOAF all by ourselves in one sitting! It was so good and I haven't had french toast in so long!

We love Mona's pancake mix (plus her other mixes). 2nd. is Pamela's. For french toast we use challah bread from Mr. Ritts and or Everybody Eats... and then there is bagels from Joan's gluten-free great bakes that are better then gluten ones......

      High DGP-A with normal IGA

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @rei.b,  I understand how frustrating starting a new way of eating can be.  I tried all sorts of gluten-free processed foods and just kept feeling worse.  My health didn't improve until I started the low histamine AIP diet.  It makes a big difference.   Gluten fits into opioid receptors in our bodies.  So, removing gluten can cause withdrawal symptoms and reveals the underlying discomfort.  SIBO can cause digestive symptoms.  SIBO can prevent vitamins from being absorbed by the intestines.  Thiamine insufficiency causes Gastrointestinal Beriberi (bloating, abdominal pain, nausea, diarrhea or constipation).  Thiamine is the B vitamin that runs out first because it can only be stored for two weeks.  We need more thiamine when we're sick or under emotional stress.  Gastric Beriberi is under recognised by doctors.  An Erythrocyte Transketolace Activity test is more accurate than a blood test for thiamine deficiency, but the best way to see if you're low in thiamine is to take it and look for health improvement.  Don't take Thiamine Mononitrate because the body can't utilize it well.  Try Benfotiamine.  Thiamine is water soluble, nontoxic and safe even at high doses.  I thought it was crazy, too, but simple vitamins and minerals are important.  The eight B vitamins work together, so a B Complex, Benfotiamine,  magnesium and Vitamin D really helped get my body to start healing, along with the AIP diet.  Once you heal, you add foods back in, so the AIP diet is worth doing for a few months. I do hope you'll consider the AIP diet and Benfotiamine.

      Finding gluten free ingredients

      By captaincrab55 · Posted

      Imemsm, Most of us have experienced discontinued, not currently available or products that suddenly become seasonal.   My biggest fear about relocating from Maryland to Florida 5 years ago, was being able to find gluten-free foods that fit my restricted diet.  I soon found out that the Win Dixie and Publix supper markets actually has 99% of their gluten-free foods tagged, next to the price.  The gluten-free tags opened up a  lot of foods that aren't actually marked gluten-free by the manufacture.  Now I only need to check for my other dietary restrictions.  Where my son lives in New Hartford, New York there's a Hannaford Supermarket that also has a gluten-free tag next to the price tag.  Hopefully you can locate a Supermarket within a reasonable travel distance that you can learn what foods to check out at a Supermarket close to you.  I have dermatitis herpetiformis too and I'm very sensitive to gluten and the three stores I named were very gluten-free friendly.  Good Luck

      High DGP-A with normal IGA

      By rei.b · Posted

      Okay well the info about TTG-A actually makes a lot of sense and I wish the PA had explained that to me. But yes, I would assume I would have intestinal damage from eating a lot of gluten for 32 years while having all these symptoms. As far as avoiding gluten foods - I was definitely not doing that. Bread, pasta, quesadillas (with flour tortillas) and crackers are my 4 favorite foods and I ate at least one of those things multiple times a day e.g. breakfast with eggs and toast, a cheese quesadilla for lunch, and pasta for dinner, and crackers and cheese as a before bed snack. I'm not even kidding.  I'm not really big on sugar, so I don't really do sweets. I don't have any of those conditions.  I am not sure if I have the genes or not. When the geneticist did my genetic testing for EDS this year, I didn't think to ask for him to request the celiac genes so they didn't test for them, unfortunately.  I guess another expectation I had is  that if gluten was the issue, the gluten-free diet would make me feel better, and I'm 3 months in and that hasn't been the case. I am being very careful and reading every label because I didn't want to screw this up and have to do gluten-free for longer than necessary if I end up not having celiac. I'm literally checking everything, even tea and anything else prepacked like caramel dip. Honestly its making me anxious 😅

      High DGP-A with normal IGA

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      So you're saying that you think you should have severe intestinal damage since you've had the symptoms so long?   DGP IgG antibodies are produced in response to a partial gluten molecule.  This is different than what tissue transglutaminase antibodies are  produced in response to.   TTg IgA antibodies are produced in the intestines in response to gluten.  The tTg IgA antibodies attack our own cells because a structural component in our cell membranes resembles a part of gluten.  There's a correlation between the level of intestinal damage with the level of tTg antibodies produced.  You are not producing a high number of tTg IgA antibodies, so your level of tissue damage in your intestines is not very bad.  Be thankful.   There may be reasons why you are not producing a high quantity of tTg IgA antibodies.  Consuming ten grams or more of gluten a day for two weeks to two months before blood tests are done is required to get sufficient antibody production and damage to the intestines.  Some undiagnosed people tend to subconsciously avoid lots of gluten.  Cookies and cakes do not contain as much gluten as artisan breads and thick chewy pizza crust.  Anemia, diabetes and thiamine deficiency can affect IgA antibody production as well.   Do you carry genes for Celiac?  They frequently go along with EDS.

      I was tested for celiac at the same time, so I wasn't taking naltrexone yet. I say that, because I don't. The endoscopy showed some mild inflammation but was inconclusive as to celiac disease. They took several biopsies and that's all that was shown. I was not given a Marsh score.
