Okay, im having a really bad sudden craving for waffles. I have a mix and everything, but the only waffle maker i have is my family's non gluten free one. Is it safe to use if I REALLY wipe it down? Would it be okay to use tinfoil on that machine?

And if not, what should I do / use

Thanks so much :ph34r::blink::lol:

Walmart has waffle makers for $22-30. You might be able to drizzle the batter on a piece of parchment paper on a cookie sheet and bake? or cook on the stove in a frying pan? Most people like Van's frozen waffles, too.

I would say no. Those non-stick surfaces are porous and I think it would be too risky. I can not picture how foil would give you a very waffle like product either? I agree with the other poster to buy one a dedicated gluten-free one for yourself if you really love waffles or if it is just a temporary craving, try the frozen ones.

I would use one that has the plates that come out and can be cleaned well, but I'm not crazy sensitive.

I am in the camp that votes "it's not worth the risk when you can get a waffle maker for $20". If you can't get to the store, make pancakes for now, instead, and then go to the store. :)

I made this mistake early on. I am really sensitive so maybe you would be ok but I wasn't. :-( I would just buy a special wafflemaker.

I gave my old one away and my mom bought me a new one last Christmas. I wouldn't chance it.

      Why?

      By mishyj · Posted

      Perhaps I should also have said that in addition to showing a very high response to gluten, her stool study showed that she had extreme reactions to everything achievement on it long course of microbials to treat that.

      Why?

      By mishyj · Posted

      My daughter has celiac disease and has had for a long time. She fell loses strictly gluten-free diet and recently got rid of all cutting boards in any gluten in her house at all. She just had a stool test and it came back showing of gigantic response to gluten in her diet. What could be going on since she doesn't eat any gluten and is very careful about any kind of hidden glue? Help!

      Constant low back, abdominal and pelvic pain!

      By cristiana · Posted

      I think sometimes the pain described here can be a result of a sort of 'perfect storm' of contributing factors.  Recently I had an appalling bout of lower back pain, lower burning gut pain and what felt like cramps.  I then started to think about what could have caused it and I realised it was several things that had set it off: I'd been carrying heavy luggage (back strain); I had been sitting down in a car for too long and wearing a tight belt (I have pudendal nerve issues and sacroiliac issues and this exacerbates the pain), and I had bloating and burning pain in my colon caused by eating too much soy, latte and caffeine, I guess putting further pressure in the lower abdomen.  I had this same pain prior to my diagnosis and a couple of years post-diagnosis, I'd quite forgotten how unpleasant it was.

      Have this rash forming on the back of my legs. Looking for relief outside of going to the doctor.

      By cristiana · Posted

      HI @Kirbyqueen That's great news your insurance will be kicking in soon.  Sorry to see that you have been dealing with this for six months now, but I do hope you have managed to find some relief with some of the suggestions in the meantime. Perhaps come back and let us know what the doctor says. Cristiana

      Trying to read my lab results

      I agree, and hopefully your doctor will contact you soon about the next step, which will likely be an endoscopy to confirm your diagnosis. Do you have celiac disease symptoms?
