I use all-natural, 100% maple syrup. Some chains (like Kroger and Walmart) will carry these, but they are expensive ~$10 a bottle.

hey guys, I dont know if you guys like the fruit flavored syrups, but my Kailyn loves the boysenberry one (smuckers, maybe) and it is gluten-free. Also, instead of buying a bottle, look for 100% pure maple syrup in a can, and pour it into your own container. Much cheaper!!!

Thanks Jenvan and Kailynsmom for those tips. I will look for the cans and also price the Aunt Jemima too. I appreciate your help.

I use real maple syrup (can't stand the fake stuff... who needs "high-fructose corn syrup"!), but if quantity is an issue, maybe you could try using fruit jam instead (don't need as much to get quite a big flavor) on the pancakes. That's what I really use, if any is available!

Also, you can mix real maple syrup with honey, that's really good. Stretches it out a bit.

I second Tiffany on the high fructose corn syrup. That stuff (crap!) isn't good for anyone...

I didn't realize until recently that most corn syrups are genetically modified. Is this right Stephanie? :unsure: One of my friends was trying to educated me on maple syrup the other day. I remember her also mentioning something about the processing of 100% maple syrup compared to the organic variety. I didn't realize until I looked in my food co-op book that they're are so many kinds of maple syrup, grade A, grade B, dark, amber, and thick! :D

My dd loves blueberries. I like to take frozen organic blueberries and heat them with organic sugar and water to make a blueberry compote for pancakes. You could use any fruit you wanted. I recently discovered fruit spreads from Crofter's and Bionature. These are pricey but they go pretty far and taste really good. They don't have added sugar, they only use fruit and fruit juice. :)

I think I read recently, in a Living Without mag this summer, that most of the soy we eat is also genetically modified.

Hi Kasey's Mom -

I have read that nearly all corn in the US is now genetically modified, as is soy. I don't know if that is 80% or more? Anyway, it's pretty tough to find, and the organic stuff that is not genetically modified isn't being wasted on high fructose corn syrup. If I can find a reference I'll post it.

I only dabble in corn at this point - it doesn't agree with my body, but for sure the non-organic stuff really causes me problems. I most recently proved this to myself (again) when I ate a bunch of regular old corn chips (gluten free) and was hung over for two days. I will eat some Garden of Eaten chips here and there and occasional bits of pop corn but just generally try to avoid it as much as possible. Sad, because I love corn, but it doesn't love me.

There was an article in the magazine Organic Style - maybe May '05? that talked about how bad high fructose corn syrup is for you. It's nasty stuff, and it's in so much food! I drank a cola recently made with organic cane juice, not corn syrup and it tasted so sweet and clean, not sticky/syrupy like corn syrup. Big difference.

I agree, pure maple syrup is ikky tasting, so when I use it, I add a little Aunt Jemima to sweeten it up a bit. You need to acquire a taste for pure maple syrup and I just can't do that.

Oh man. Does anybody rember Coke BEFORE New Coke? Before they went to New Coke, they used cane sugar. Then, when everyone hated New Coke, they switched back to the old Coke formula, except it use Corn Syrup instead.

I had moved to England for a number of years, they still use Cane Sugar in the Coke there. Compare a can between both, and the Cane Sugar one is way better.

Has anyone tried the Organic Blue Sky Soda? They make the organic variety with organic cane sugar. I've only tried a couple of their flavors. The "Natural" Blue Sky sodas are made with corn syrup.

My mother-in law always tells me how much better coke was in a glass bottle. Myabe it was the glass & the cane sugar! :D

      gluten-free Oatmeal

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Oats naturally contain a protein called avenin, which is similar to the gluten proteins found in wheat, barley, and rye. While avenin is generally considered safe for most people with celiac disease, some individuals, around 5-10% of celiacs, may also have sensitivity to avenin, leading to symptoms similar to gluten exposure. You may fall into this category, and eliminating them is the best way to figure this out. Some people substitute gluten-free quinoa flakes for oats if they want a hot cereal substitute. If you are interested in summaries of scientific publications on the topic of oats and celiac disease, we have an entire category dedicated to it which is here: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/oats-and-celiac-disease-are-they-gluten-free/

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Hi, @Ginger38, I've had shingles in the past.  I understand how miserable you're feeling.   Not only do i have the chickenpox virus lurking about, I also have the cold sore virus that occasionally flares with a huge cold sore on my lip when stressed or exposed to gluten.  The virus lives dormant in the nerves on the left side of my face.  It causes Bell's Palsy (resulting in drooling).  The cold sore virus is also in my eye.  My eye swells up and my vision is diminished permanently whenever I have a flare, so it's of the utmost importance to keep flares away and treat them immediately if they do happen so I don't lose any more vision.   I take the amino acid supplement L-Lysine.  Lysine messes with the replication of viruses, which helps the body fight them off.   I haven't had an outbreak for several years until this year when exceptionally stressed and contaminated, it flared up again. Lysine has been shown to be beneficial in suppression of viruses like the cold sore virus (a herpetic virus), the chickenpox virus (also a herpetic virus), as well as the HIV virus, and even the Covid virus.   I also take additional Thiamine in the form TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) because Thiamine has antiviral properties as well.   For pain, a combination of Thiamine (like TTFD or Benfotiamine or Thiamine Hydrochloride), with B12 Cobalamine, and Pyridoxine B6 have been shown to have analgesic properties which relieve pain and neuropathy.    The combination of Thiamine B1, Pyridoxine B6 and Cobalamine B12 really does work to relieve pain.  I take it for pain from crushed vertebrae in my back.  This combination also works on other pain and neuropathy.   I usually buy a supplement that combines all three and also Riboflavin B2 called EXPLUS online.  However, it's made in Japan and the price with the tariffs added makes it really expensive now.  But the combination of Thiamine B1, Pyridoxine B6 and B12 Cobalamine (and Riboflavin B2) still work even if taken separately.   I can't take Tylenol or ibuprofen because of stomach upsets.  But I can take the vitamin combination without side effects.  However, you can take the three vitamins at the same time as other pain relievers for added benefit.  The vitamins help other pain relievers work better. I hope you will try it.  Hopeful you'll feel better quickly.
