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.

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.

      Tea Bags and Gluten

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      While plain, pure tea leaves (black, green, or white) are naturally gluten-free, the issue often lies not with the tea itself but with other ingredients or processing. Many flavored teas use barley malt or other gluten-containing grains as a flavoring agent, which would be clearly listed on the ingredient label. Cross-contamination is another possibility, either in the facility where the tea is processed or, surprisingly, from the tea bag material itself—some tea bags are sealed with a wheat-based glue. Furthermore, it's important to consider that your reaction could be to other substances in tea, such as high levels of tannins, which can be hard on the stomach, or to natural histamines or other compounds that can cause a non-celiac immune response. The best way to investigate is to carefully read labels for hidden ingredients, try switching to a certified gluten-free tea brand that uses whole leaf or pyramid-style bags, and see if the reaction persists.

      Inconclusive results

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      This is a challenging and confusing situation. The combination of a positive EMA—which is a highly specific marker rarely yielding false positives—alongside strongly elevated TTG on two separate occasions, years apart, is profoundly suggestive of celiac disease, even in the absence of biopsy damage. This pattern strongly aligns with what is known as "potential celiac disease," where the immune system is clearly activated, but intestinal damage has not yet become visible under the microscope. Your concern about the long-term risk of continued gluten consumption is valid, especially given your family's experience with the consequences of delayed diagnosis. Since your daughter is now at an age where her buy-in is essential for a gluten-free lifestyle, obtaining a definitive answer is crucial for her long-term adherence and health. Given that she is asymptomatic yet serologically positive, a third biopsy now, after a proper 12-week challenge, offers the best chance to capture any microscopic damage that may have developed, providing the concrete evidence needed to justify the dietary change. This isn't about wanting her to have celiac; it's about wanting to prevent the insidious damage that can occur while waiting for symptoms to appear, and ultimately giving her the unambiguous "why" she needs to accept and commit to the necessary treatment. This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease. One test that always needs to be done is the IgA Levels/Deficiency Test (often called "Total IGA") because some people are naturally IGA deficient, and if this is the case, then certain blood tests for celiac disease might be false-negative, and other types of tests need to be done to make an accurate diagnosis. The article includes the "Mayo Clinic Protocol," which is the best overall protocol for results to be ~98% accurate.

      Medication

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Welcome to the community! Generally, for a gluten challenge before celiac disease blood tests, Tylenol (acetaminophen) is considered safe and should not interfere with your antibody results. The medications you typically need to avoid are those like ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin) or naproxen (Aleve) that can cause intestinal irritation, which could potentially complicate the interpretation of an endoscopy if you were to have one. However, it is absolutely crucial that you confirm this with either your gastroenterologist or your surgeon before your procedure. They know the specifics of your case and can give you the definitive green light, ensuring your surgery is comfortable and your celiac testing remains accurate. Best of luck with your surgery tomorrow

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By Xravith · Posted

      Thank you for the advice. I’ve actually never checked for nutritional deficiencies, but for as long as I can remember, I’ve always taken vitamin and mineral supplements — otherwise my symptoms get worse. This week I stopped eating gluten to confirm whether my symptoms are really caused by it. Starting next week, I’ll reintroduce gluten — it’s sad to go back to how I was before — but at least I’ll be able to take the necessary tests properly. I think the diagnostic process will be long, but at least I’m happy that I finally decided to address this doubt I’ve had for years.
