Pancake Syrup

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

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.

      Celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis has taken Me from Me

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Have faith, you will survive. I get mine from Pipingrock.com.  500 capsules of 10,000 IU for $22.  That is almost two years worth for me.  250 caps 5000 IU for $6.69 if you only take 5,000 a day.  It's like half the price of Walmart.

      Outgrow celiac?

      Testing can't alone be trusted.  Else why would it take so many years of testing and retesting and misdiagnosis to finally be told, yes you have Celiac Disease. As to what to eat, I like pre 1950 style food.  Before the advent of TV dinners.  Fresh food is better for you, and cooking from scratch is cheaper.  Watch Rachel Ray's 30 Minute Meals for how to cook.  Keep in mind that she is not gluten free, but her techniques are awesome.  Just use something else instead of wheat, barley, rye. Dr Fuhrman is a ex cardiologist.  His book Eat to Live and Dr Davis' book Wheatbelly were instrumental in my survival.

      If you have DH you will likely also want to avoid iodine, which is common in seafoods and dairy products, as it can exacerbate symptoms in some people. This article may also be helpful as it offers various ways to relieve the itch--thanks for the tip about Dupixent, and I've added it to the article:

      I just want to clarify that what I posted is a category of research summaries we've done over the years, and nearly each one shows that there is definitely a connection to celiac disease and migraine headaches. The latest study said: "the study did indicate some potential causal associations between celiac disease and migraine with or without aura, as well as between migraine without aura and ulcerative colitis...this study did not find evidence of a shared genetic basis..." Anyway, there is definitely a connection, and you can go through more of the articles here if you're interested: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/celiac-disease-amp-related-diseases-and-disorders/migraine-headaches-and-celiac-disease/

      Celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis has taken Me from Me

      By SusanJ · Posted

      Two months ago, I started taking Dupixent for dermatitis herpetiformis and it has completely cleared it up. I can't believe it! I have had a terrible painful, intensely itchy rash for over a year despite going fully gluten-free. See if your doctor will prescribe Dupixent. It can be expensive but I am getting it free. When the dermatitis herpetiformis was bad I could not do anything. I just lay in bed covered in ice packs to ease the pain/itching and using way too Clobetasol. Dapsone is also very good for dermatitis herpetiformis (and it is generic). It helped me and the results were immediate but it gave me severe anemia so the Dupixent is better for me. Not sure if it works for everyone. I cannot help with the cause of your stress but from experience I am sure the severe stress is making the celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis worse. Very difficult for you with having children to care for and you being so sick. Would this man be willing to see a family therapist with you? He may be angry at you or imagine that your illness is a psychosomatic excuse not to take care of him. A therapist might help even if he won't go with you. Also do you have any family that you could move in with (with the kids) for a short time to get away? A break may be good for you both.
