I Invented A New Sandwich - And You're Going To Thank Me For This One!

It all started with a box of Glutino pancake mix. I'd been more than happy with my Incredible Edible for Kids waffle recipe but was feeling lazy and the picture on the Glutino box just looked so inviting... so I bought it.

We made the pancakes and you seriously cannot tell them from the wheat version. They're delicious.

So we decided to reduce the milk in the recipe (you can sub fruit juice or water so says the recipe on the side of the box BTW) by 3Tbsp and substitute in 3Tbsp of maple syrup into the mixture.

Make the pancakes the size of a piece of bread (6" or so) and let them cool on a rack. The next morning, make up sandwiches with spreadable cream cheese and two slices of blackforest ham (bought).

These sandwiches are so so so so good. They're good cold. They're especially good warmed up for 20 seconds in the microwave. I took one to work yesterday and it was all I could think about all morning (of course I probably shouldn't have skipped breakfast!)

I could seriously eat them every day.

Hope someone else will try them - and I of course highly recommend the glutino pancake mix but I'm sure any pancake recipe that you love would be good - just put a little maple syrup into the mix and don't make the pancakes too thick.

Mamatide: Thanks so much for sharing your recipe---it sounds delicious. I love anything with cream cheese :).

My mom started making pancake sandwiches for me as well...I forget which mix we use (bobs, maybe?) and I do love them. We add some buttermilk to it, which makes it scrumptious.

Now I'm hungry :)

Aha! I've been looking for the pancake mix that takes juice. That must be it! I made some that had orange juice in it and it was soooo good! Thanks!

Speaking of alteratives for bread... the other day my closets were getting bare and so I took some mashed potato flakes (Wal-Mart brand), mixed them with some water, added an egg, then put it like a patty in a frying pan. Cooked it up, put a piece of cheese on it, folded it in half and cooked it for a little longer to melt the cheese. Best grilled cheese "sandwich" I've had in a long time!

OK - everyone's recipes sound wonderful but all seem to have things in them that I can't eat like cream cheese...how can a celiac eat cream cheese?...anyway, today I finally tried a gluten-free pancake mix, added egg substitute, soymilk and canola oil according to directions - couldn't wait because I really miss my pancakes...it kinda looked like a shiny tortilla...and was kinda crispy on the outside and not thoroughly cooked on the inside ... Also since I don't like maple syrup and think regular syrups bother me because of preservatives (although I love syrup), I just had butter and strawberries on it. It wasn't exactly tasty, unfortunately...I'm getting very frustrated. After losing 18 lbs. I really cannot afford to lose any more - I'm down to 110. I know some people wish they could accomplish this...but for me it's not good. Yesterday I thought I ate all gluten-free foods and late afternoon I got all the yukky stuff and was miserable all night long - layed in bed with a heating pad on my stomach...yuk! It's difficult to have more than a couple good days in a row even when I only eat "safe" foods, it seems...If anyone could help, it'd be great. All I can eat is chicken, veggies, fruit and gluten-free bread. I'm also lactose intolerant...and right now...not very tolerant of any of this...getting pretty depressed. Thanks for your help! :( KarenDianne

Hi KarenDiane,

First of all, I'm so sorry you're frustrated with the diet. My daughter has been gluten-free for a year now, and it took her 8 or 9 months before she could tolerate lactose (secondary lactose intolerance is common in Celiac patients because the same part of the intestine that processes lactose is the part that is commonly damaged by the gluten). But she could tolerate milk that had been treated with lacteez.

If you are experiencing difficulty with lactose, for whatever reason, you probably shouldn't be putting butter on your pancakes, I guess.

Before buying the mix I mentioned above, I previously used a recipe in the incredible edible gluten free for kids book (I'd be happy to email you the recipe) for waffles and we often used warmed up raspberry jam instead of maple syrup so that might be an idea. Or buy frozen raspberries, thaw and whirl them in a blender for instant raspberry sauce - you can even mix it right into the pancakes or waffle batter so that the taste is right inside.

If you're still feeling awful at the end of the day, you might also consider your cooking utensils or cooking environment. When my daughter continued to have intermittent reactions despite gluten-free foods and ingredients being used in my kitchen I dug a little deeper and got rid of the wheat-containing shampoos, the old t-fal pans, the colandars (strainers), the cutting boards and we finally achieved pain-free status.

But before we got there, we had to really un-learn a lot of old habits. Like the morning I was putting brown sugar on my daughter's gluten-free corn flakes cereal and poked into a slice of bread that was in the brown sugar - an old trick I'd used forEVER to keep the brown sugar from getting hard... DOH. I felt so bad.

Please persevere. Be a gluten detective. Post your questions here - I'm probably not the best person to answer your questions because I only have my own and my daughter's experience to draw upon - I live in a town of 10,000 people and doctors still tell me my daughter is the only case of Celiac they've ever seen :( so I've done this all on my own, through research, reading, trial and error, and alot of patience.

Many hugs...

      Anyone else with very high HDL?

      By cookiesyum · Posted

      The easiest way to remember the difference between the cholesterol types is HDL;   H=healthy equals healthy (omega 3, 7, limit 6 & 9 MCFA'S =Medium Chain Fatty Acids. 3= coconut oil, 7= sunflower oil, avocado. The higher your HDL the healthier you are & less likely to experience strokes, clogged arteries Etc. You can even use cold expeller pressed coconut oil on your skin and that is the best kind of coconut oil to eat as well. You want your HDL much higher than your LDL, it will help you stay healthy.   LDL;    L=Lousy. Meat fats, processed fats.  The higher your LDL is the more likely you will have strokes, clogged artery is, heart disease, fatty liver.   Then there's lipids... they are the culprit to be blamed for many heart attacks and things like that they are very small round particles that transport fats. You can have a low overall cholesterol reading and most of it be healthy cholesterol and have a ton of lipids and there's nothing you can do to change the lipid count. High number of lipids is very dangerous.   I'm going on statins is extremely dangerous if you ask me it's just completely my opinion, because I have seen so many of my elderly friends bleed to death internally because of the statins. I mean you wouldn't take all the oil and grease out of your car or a motorcycle and then try to drive it that way would you? You see that's what statins do they remove all of your bodies fats and it doesn't matter whether it's healthy fats or a lousy fats. It removes all of them and then your body can't function properly. You have to have fats to keep your skin supple and to stay warm. Your body also needs fats to digest & process certain nutrients, amino acids & vitamins.   Your brain is composed of fat so is that something you really want to remove with a pill every morning and night?   The thing about statins is that they also make the blood vessels and capillaries permeable. So this is how my friends who were on cardiac medication for a long time and statins ended up bleeding internally to death.   If you want to make sure that your heart is healthy, take odorless garlic at night and magnesium, vitamin K & calcium.

      Glutening symptom? oily stool

      It's also a symptom of EPI.

      3 year old gluten intolerance?

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Yes.  Proportionately a small piece to a toddler is like a whole slice to an adult.  This is an important clue.  She was doing well, accidentally ate gluten and later the old behavior returned. I remember reading posts here of people reacting to a kiss from someone who had just eaten gluten. Recent research indicates that 40% of first degree relatives of someone with Celiac have undiagnosed Celiac Disease.  Father, mother, siblings.  There is a whole list of symtoms of "silent celiac".  Here is an article of symptoms possibly mistaken for other causes than Celiac Disease.  When I finally stopped gluten at 63 years old, I counted 19 things that improved, including lifelong mouthbreathing.  I never smelled bad things, so I as a kid, I learned to respond to the other kid's response in order to not seem weird. I really recommend you pursue testing for all the family if you can, and the whole family following GFD.  It is difficult at first, but the benefits will be worth it.

      Feel Good gluten free chicken soup dumplings

      By Visionaerie · Posted

      I get these but where we are, they are called chicken potstickers. I would obviously suggest that it is the ginger in the product that is causing a stimulative digestive effect! So you might want to do what I do, just cook one of them with the rest of your meal so you don't have the same effect. I love the Feel Good products but they are on the expensive side. (I also drink Reed's ginger brew so in general, ginger is a friend of mine..when delivered at the right dose). Hope this helps and have a warm healthy week!

      Glutening symptom? oily stool

      By ognam · Posted

      Has anyone had Steatorrhea (oily/fatty poop) as a temporary glutening symptom or should I be concerned I've introduced chronic gluten somewhere (like in meds)? I haven't gotten Steatorrhea since before I went gluten free. However, I moved in the past few weeks and haven't been as careful - I've eaten at restauraunts with cross contamination but only experienced minor symptoms like headache. The past week, I ate only gluten free food at home except I went to Red Robin and got fries (told them gluten-free; allergy). The next day I had Steatorrhea and the day after that.   I know it's a symptom of malabsorption so I was wondering if it was the kind of thing that could be caused by one event or if it was due to a more chronic issue. Of course I will speak to a GI but I recently moved and need to find one.   Thank you for any info
