It's been reported elsewhere that The Original Pancake House recently introduced gluten free pancakes, at least at locations in CA and CO. We ate this weekend at the location on Rockville Pike in Rockville, Maryland and can confirm that the restaurant is serving gluten free pancakes there. From memory, I believe they have plain, blueberry, strawberry, chocolate chip and banana varieties.

We also visited Noah's Pretzels down the road in Gaithersburg, Maryland for gluten free soft pretzels.

The only problem with that is most pancake houses are wall to wall gluten. Do they use a dedicated griddle to cook the gluten-free ones on? I would tend to doubt it.

I also wouldn't trust the knowledge level of anyone working in a pancake house, unless you are lucky enough to have either a gluten-free waitress or cook.

The pancakes are cooked separately and they use different plates. Just posted this as an FYI - as always, use your own comfort level as a guide.

So how were the pancakes?

Where is the restaurant on Rockville Pike?

Have you been to Lilit Cafe in Bethesda - yum!

Thanks for the info.

That's a good start. I hope they are yummy! I'll have to see if there is one of these locations anywhere near where we are traveling later this month.

I have been eating breakfast at the original pancake house in Greenwood Village Colorado since last fall when I found out they had Gluten Free pancakes. The locations in Colorado, well at least the one I visit, received their mix from Deby's Bakery, a local gluten-free bakery and restaurant.

Earlier this year they switched to Bob's Red Mill gluten-free pancake mix, which I am not a fan of. I make Pamela's all the time. Bob's is just too starchy tasting.

As for the Gluten risks, sure they are always an issue at any restaurant, even ones that offer gluten free options. Still, I tend to get a couple scrambled eggs, and the gluten-free pancakes and I seem to do just fine.

Granted, they do no special flagging other than putting a plastic marker in the pancakes. Meaning, I don't think they take any extra precautions with the other portions of your meal.

I don't go there as often as I used to since they switched mixes. Like I said, my experiences have been good, but yours could be different.

At least this is a start. I agree about Bob's mixes. I think their all purpose mix has too strong of bean flavor to it. But I do like the individual flours.

      Protein or fat?

      By Jsingh · Posted

      Hi,  I care for my seven year old daughter with Celiac. After watching her for months, I have figured out that she has problem with two kinds of fats- animal fat and cooking oils. It basically makes her intestine sore enough that she feels spasms when she is upset. It only happens on days when she has eaten more fat than her usual every day diet. (Her usual diet has chia seeds, flaxseeds, and avocado/ pumpkin seeds for fat and an occasional chicken breast.) I stopped using cooking oils last year, and when I reintroduced eggs and dairy, both of which I had held off for a few months thinking it was an issue of the protein like some Celiac patients habe mentioned to be the case, she has reacted in the same fashion as she does with excess fats. So now I wonder if her reaction to dairy and eggs is not really because of protein but fat.   I don't really have a question, just wondering if anyone finds this familiar and if it gets better with time.  Thank you.

      High Cost of Gluten-Free Foods

      By Chanda Richard · Posted

      Hello, My name is Chanda and you are not the only one that gose through the same things. I have found that what's easiest for me is finding a few meals each week that last. I have such severe reactions to gluten that it shuts my entire body down. I struggle everyday with i can't eat enough it feels like, when I eat more I lose more weight. Make sure that you look at medication, vitamins and shampoo and conditioner also. They have different things that are less expensive at Walmart.

      Frequent nausea after gluten-free diet

      By petitojou · Posted

      Thank you so much! I saw some tips around the forum to make a food diary and now that I know that the community also struggles with corn, egg and soy, the puzzle pieces came together! Just yesterday I tried eating eggs and yes, he’s guilty and charged. Those there are my 3 combo nausea troublemakers. I’m going to adjust my diet ☺️ Also thank you for the information about MCAS! I’m from South America and little it’s talked about it in here. It’s honestly such a game changer now for treatment and recovery. I know I’m free from SIBO and Candida since I’ve been tested for it, but I’m still going to make a endoscopy to test for H. Pylori and Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE). Thank you again!! Have a blessed weekend 🤍

      Unusual bright yellow but odourless discharge

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Yes, I, too, have osteoporosis from years of malabsorption, too.  Thiamine and magnesium are what keep the calcium in place in the bones.  If one is low in magnesium, boron, selenium, zinc, copper, and other trace minerals, ones bone heath can suffer.  We need more than just calcium and Vitamin D for strong bones.  Riboflavin B 2, Folate B 9 and Pyridoxine B 6 also contribute to bone formation and strength.   Have you had your thyroid checked?  The thyroid is important to bone health as well.  The thyroid uses lots of thiamine, so a poorly functioning thyroid will affect bone heath.

      That sounds so very likely in my case! I will absolutely ask my doctor on my next bone check coming up in March... Thanks a lot!
