We need to increase awareness and understanding of children with Celiac Disease, especially in public environments like their schools.
My sister works in a child care facility, and one of the more disturbing trends I hear about is how so many employees and parents of non-Celiac children don’t appreciate the severity of Celiac Disease symptoms. It is almost as if children with Celiac Disease are a nuisance to them.
“Oh gosh, we have to make special pancakes for the Celiac child — woa is us!”
I understand why this happens; it’s a familiar phenomenon for anyone suffering from a relatively unknown health condition, and unfortunately it may even be a familiar phenomenon for those of us just dealing with the pubic in general.
But I do hope more individuals will grow to appreciate the seriousness of {gluten allergy symptoms|http://gluten-intolerance-symptoms.com/gluten-allergy-symptoms/}, especially in our children.

Some general notes:
- Always be sure to carefully seat the pan in your bread maker. I’ve seen friends disappointed with the performance of their bread machine only to discover they weren’t properly securing the bread pan.
- Always read your manufacturer instructions. Some bread machines may specify a different order for placing wet or dry ingredients into the machine’s pan.
- IMPORTANT: Unless specified otherwise, don’t let the yeast touch the sides of the breakmaker pan or reach the liquid. I create a small, shallow volcano whole for the yeast within the dry ingredients.
Some standard variations to keep in mind:
- Instead of three eggs, try using one egg plus two egg whites. For more leavening, add 1 to 3 teaspoons of egg replacer.
- You might also use our gluten substitutions page as a reference when using these recipes or other recipes you find on the Internet. You might just concoct your own perfect recipe from the methods described therein to substitute gluten in standard bread recipes.
