Pancake Syrup


ConfusedLexi

Recommended Posts

ConfusedLexi Rookie

Hello,

My name is Lexi and I am new to this group.

I am curious if anyone knows what pancake syrups are gluten free (if any)? Please help, I am new to this diet, and it is helping, and I really don't wanna mess up. I'm not very good at identifying ingredients and stuff yet. Getting better, but any help with any thing you might know or wanna suggest would be greatly appreciated. Thank you so much for your help in advance!

Lexi

Hi Lexi, and welcome to these boards. If you want to be 100% sure of ingredients, you would do best to just use pure maple syrup on your pancakes. It never has gluten and is safe.

We either use pure maple syrup or Wegmans which is labeled gluten free.

Maple Grove Farms also lists "gluten free" by the ingredients

Vermont Maid says gluten free right on the bottle.

The pure stuff will be best for you anyway, try not to go too overboard with it though. I actually use it to flavor my pancakes and then just butter them and roll them up, sometimes with cream cheese inside. Or I put applesauce on top.

Log Cabin Country Kitchen is gluten free, but not all log cabin syrups are, so you have to make sure it is the Country Kitchen.

I agree with the pure maple syrup. I use it most of the time, but have used the log cabin also.

Oooh, that sounds good. I got these gluten free waffles from the store and that is why I was asking about syrup. But now I am gonna have to learn how to make those gluten free pancakes because that sounds wicked good. I love cream cheese. Thank you!

I think my store carries both pure maple and Log Cabin. The problem is, living in Montana, there aren't very many health food stores and I am not sure how to find some of these brands. I have never heard of them which means my store doesn't carry them. LOL But now I have a list of stuff to go look for at the store. Thank you!

Thank you all for your suggestions. Now I can go looking for some stuff. All of the gluten free foods except the regular ones that are normally on the shelf are super expensive. My dad and I were talking about it the other night after I went shopping. It's pricey. But worth it to make myself feel better. LOL Thank you all again!

In my experience, the Kinnikinnik waffles have definitely been the best. And don't wait for gluten-free waffles to get brown in the toaster, only toast them for 3-4 min and then test them with the knife to see if they're crispy, if you wait til they get brown they're rock hard and awful. I put cream cheese on my waffles too!

For the pancakes, try using Bob's Red Mill, but add an extra egg and a little bit more fluid than they call for, it turns out more like a crepe and is much tastier. I'll put a bit of maple syrup in the batter and then the cream cheese and sometimes drizzle honey on the cream cheese, or I put almond butter on them.

Wow that is a great idea. I got the Bob's Red Mill stuff. In fact my store carries lots of batters and stuff that are gluten free. It's expensive but worth it. LOL I will definitely try that. So a little bit more fluid? I am trying to think of what it called for. And an extra egg. I will try that. I am not usually a big pancake eater. But on the same note, I don't usually eat at all until I started this diet. Now I have an appetite, and want to eat. Which is unusual for me but I am happy. It's better than it has been for a long time. :) Thank you for the great suggestion.

      Looking for help sourcing gluten-free products that do not contain potato or corn derived ingredients. I have other autoimmune conditions (Psoriatic Arthritis and Sjogrens) so I’m looking for prepared foods as I have fatigue and cannot devote a lot of time to baking my own treats.

      I am so sorry you're going through this. It's completely understandable to feel frustrated, stressed, and disregarded after such a long and difficult health journey. It's exhausting to constantly advocate for yourself, especially when you're dealing with so many symptoms and positive diagnoses like SIBO, while still feeling unwell. The fact that you have been diligently following the diet without relief is a clear sign that something else is going on, and your doctors should be investigating other causes or complications, not dismissing your very real suffering.

      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/
