Thanks For The 'pancake As Bread' Hint!

I'm new here, lurking mostly. But someone had mentioned when talking about the problem of bread, making sandwiches, etc. that if you used a pancake instead of bread, it works just as well. I tried it!!! thankewwww! The bread has never satisfied me in terms of texture (falls apart with a sandwich) or taste really but I could stand it.

But omg, I got the gluten-free pancake mix and ta daaaa, wonderful sammich bread. So, whoever said it, thank you for the hint. It would never have occurred to me.

Also someone said that if you warm the gluten-free bread, it's more palatable. I hadn't thought of that either but I tried it and it's much better. Still prefer a pancake tho. :D The downside is now I 'm afraid I'll be eating sandwiches more than is good for me. :(

I'm glad you found something you like. It's amazing how many things we learn, just by reading posts, isn't it?

So, do you make pancakes and use them for bread, or do you make bread from the pancake mix?

I eat Van's gluten-free waffles with coconut oil, and over easy egg on top, and a drizzle of maple syrup. I have two for breakfast almost every morning. I just get tired of gluten-free bread with my eggs!

Carla, I have very little to choose from in our little city. They carry about 5 gluten-free items. Bob's gluten-free Bread (semi-vile) and Namaste Waffle & Pancake Mix. I make up the pancake mix (very thin) and freeze them. One pancake makes a nice sandwich (could also be used for pizza!!). I'm thrilled at learning this because that's the one thing that's driven me nuts: no way to make a sandwich that didn't crumble in my plate.

      Jason, I have a bone to pick with your terminology. There is "gluten intolerance" which I believe is synonymous with celiac disease and then there is "gluten sensitivity" which comes from Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity or NCGS for short. It is true, however, that there is still a lot of inconsistency in the use of these terms.

      I can’t say this will work for everyone but for me the difference is incredible so might be worth trying. I’ve never been diagnosed celiac but via an elimination diet I realised I can’t eat any lectins, gluten soy and oats are particularly problematic. If I eat them I’m in bed for a week, then heavy bleeding and extreme pain for another, followed by a third week of bleeding on and off. My skin was a mess and it snowed when I brushed my hair. Since taking reishi and cordyceps mushroom tincture I can’t believe the difference, I’ve had a lot of help from this site so I want to return the favour. I took the tincture for my guts but the most apparent effect is that I feel like my brain works again, I can’t begin to describe how wonderful it is to be able to achieve basic things, I’ve barely been able to organise getting out of bed for so long, it feels like I haven’t been hit over the head with a mallet for the first time in years. Then I glutened myself, not necessarily gluten as so many things wipe me out but definitely ate something I shouldn’t have, I took a treble dose of the tincture and almost immediately felt much better so continued with the increased dose and three days (not weeks) later was back to feeling great, no bleeding involved. My skin is better than I can remember it ever being, I feel great 😊. I spend £1.50 a day on these but it’s worth every penny, I hope this helps someone else out there reading this. I wish I’d known about them 20 years ago. best wishes everyone 🍄

      Given your history of a high TTG (167) that decreased to 16 on a gluten-free diet, along with genetic confirmation of celiac disease, it’s likely the negative biopsy is a false negative due to not eating gluten before the endoscopy. Gluten is necessary to trigger the intestinal damage seen in celiac disease, and avoiding it can lead to healing and a normal biopsy despite ongoing immune activity (reflected in your still-elevated TTG). The inflammation observed during the endoscopy (“diffuse moderately erythematous mucosa”) could be residual damage, mild ongoing inflammation, or another condition like peptic duodenitis, but it’s consistent with celiac disease in context. Continued positive blood markers suggest ongoing gluten exposure, possibly from cross-contamination or hidden sources. Strict adherence to a gluten-free diet and follow-up testing are key to managing symptoms and reducing inflammation. Discuss these findings with your doctor to confirm the diagnosis and refine your dietary approach. This article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful (be sure to also read the comments section.):

      Yes, it sounds like great progress, but what was the time frame between the two endoscopies?
