One More "your Favorite" Question-pancake Mix?

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......

      results from 13 day gluten challenge - does this mean I can't have celiac?

      @catnapt, Wheat germ contains high amounts of lectins which are really hard to digest and can be irritating to the digestive tract. They can stimulate IgG antibody production as your blood test shows. Even beans have lectins. You've simply eaten too many lectins and irritated your digestive tract. You may want to allow your digestive tract...

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      I take Now B-1 (100 mg) Thiamine Hydrochloride, and Amazing Formulas L-Tryptophan (1000 mg). Both are gluten free and free of other allergens. I've taken them for a long time and haven't had a problem with them. I take Vitamin A from BioTech called "A-25". It's gluten and allergen free and made in the USA. It's a powder form of Vitamin A. ...

      I wouldn't consider this lucky. I can NOT tolerate the symptoms. And I googled it and I was not even getting 10 grams of gluten per day and I was extremely ill. They'd have to put me in the hospital. I'm not kidding. I will have my first appt with a GI dr on March 4th I will not eat gluten again - at least not on purpose ...

      @catnapt,  Wheat germ contains high amounts of lectins which are really hard to digest and can be irritating to the digestive tract.  They can stimulate IgG antibody production as your blood test shows.   Even beans have lectins.  You've simply eaten too many lectins and irritated your digestive tract.   You may want to allow your digestive tract to rest for a week, then start on gluten in "normal" food, not in concentrated vital wheat gluten. This explains it well: Lectins, agglutinins, and their roles in autoimmune reactivities https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/25599185/

      I take Now B-1 (100 mg) Thiamine Hydrochloride, and Amazing Formulas L-Tryptophan (1000 mg).   Both are gluten free and free of other allergens.  I've taken them for a long time and haven't had a problem with them. I take Vitamin A from BioTech called "A-25".  It's gluten and allergen free and made in the USA.  It's a powder form of Vitamin A.  I was having trouble digesting fats at one point, but found I tolerated the powder form much better and have stuck with it since.   Tryptophan and Vitamin A help heal the intestines as well as improves skin health.  I get Dermatitis Herpetiformis and eczema flairs when my stomach is upset.  So I'm healing the outside as well as the inside.   I take one 1000 mg Tryptophan before bedtime.   With the Thiamine HCl, take 100 mg to start.  If you don't notice anything, three hours later take another. You can keep increasing your dose in this manner until you do notice improvement.  Remember not to take it in the evening so it won't keep you too energized to sleep. When I first started Thiamine HCl, taking 500 mg to 1000 mg to start was recommended.  If you've been thiamine insufficient for a while, you do notice a big difference.  It's like the start of a NASCAR race: Zoom, Zoom, turn it up!   This scared or made some people uncomfortable, but it's just your body beginning to function properly, like putting new spark plugs in your engine.  I took 1000 mg all at once without food.  It kicked in beautifully, but I got a tummy ache, so take with food.  I added in Thiamine TTFD and Benfotiamine weeks later and felt like I was Formula One racing.  So cool.  You may feel worse for a couple days as your body adjusts to having sufficient thiamine.  Feels sort of like you haven't cranked your engine for a while and it backfires and sputters, but it will settle down and start purring soon enough.  Adjust your dose to what feels right for you, increasing your dose as long as you feel improvement.  You can reach a plateau, so stay there for several days, then try bumping it up again.  If no more improvements happen, you can stay at the plateau amount and experiment with increasing your Thiamine TTFD.  It's like being your own lab rat.  LoL Yes, take one Benfotiamine at breakfast and one at lunch.  Take the B Complex at breakfast. Take the TTFD at breakfast and lunch as well.  I like to take the vitamins at the beginning of meals and the NeuroMag at the end of meals.   You may want to add in some zinc.  I take Thorne Zinc 30 mg at breakfast at the beginning of the meal.   Are you getting sufficient Omega Threes?  Our brains are made up mostly of fat.  Flaxseed oil supplements, sunflower seed oil supplements (or eat the seeds themselves) can improve that.  Cooking with extra virgin olive oil, avocado oil, or coconut oil is also helpful.   @Wheatwacked likes phosphotidyl choline supplements for his Omega Threes.  He's also had dramatic health improvement by supplementing thiamine.  You're doing great!  Thank you for sharing your journey with us.  This path will smooth out.  Keep going!
