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.

      Headaches / Migraines and Hypoglycaemia

      By trents · Posted

      My migraines generally have their onset during the early morning hours as well. Presently, I am under siege with them, having headaches all but two days so far this month. I have looked at all the things reported to be common triggers (foods, sleep patterns, weather patterns, stress, etc.). Every time I think I start to see a pattern it proves not to pan out in the long run. I'm not sure it's any one thing but may, instead, be a combination of things that coalesce at certain times. It's very frustrating. The medication (sumatriptan or "Imatrix") is effective and is the only thing that will quell the pain. NSAIDs, Tylenol, even hydrocodone doesn't touch it. But they only give you 9 does of sumatriptan a month. And it doesn't help that medical science doesn't really know what causes migraines. They know some things about it but the root cause is still a mystery.

      GI DX celiac despite neg serology and no biopsy

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Just a gluten free diet is not enough.  Now you have to identify and replenish your malnutrition.  Celiac disease is co-morbid with malabsorption syndrome.  Low vitamin D, Low Thiamine caused Gastointeston Beriberi, low choline, low iodine are common the general population, and in newly diagnosed Celiacs in the western culture its is more likely.  It takes time to heal and you need to focus on vitamins and minerals.  Gluten free foods are not fortified like regular processed foods.

      Headaches / Migraines and Hypoglycaemia

      By Sarah Grace · Posted

      Dear Kitty Since March I have been following your recommendations regarding vitamins to assist with various issues that I have been experiencing.  To recap, I am aged 68 and was late diagnosed with Celiac about 12 years ago.  I had been experiencing terrible early morning headaches which I had self diagnosed as hypoglycaemia.  I also mentioned that I had issues with insomnia, vertigo and brain fog.   It's now one year since I started on the Benfotiamine 600 mg/day.  I am still experiencing the hypoglycaemia and it's not really possible to say for sure whether the Benfotiamine is helpful.  In March this year, I added B-Complex Thiamine Hydrochloride and Magnesium L-Threonate on a daily basis, and I am now confident to report that the insomnia and vertigo and brain fog have all improved!!  So, very many thanks for your very helpful advice. I am now less confident that the early morning headaches are caused by hypoglycaemia, as even foods with a zero a GI rating (cheese, nuts, etc) can cause really server headaches, which sometimes require migraine medication in order to get rid off.  If you are able to suggest any other treatment I would definitely give it a try, as these headaches are a terrible burden.  Doctors in the UK have very limited knowledge concerning dietary issues, and I do not know how to get reliable advice from them. Best regards,

      @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.
