Cramping Issues with Buckwheat Flour Recipes

The other day I decided to experiment with my waffle recipe. I love my gluten-free waffles with Maple syrup and blueberries. My recipe contains these flours: Rice Flour, Brown Rice and Tapioca Flour - and Corn Starch. I tried to cut back on the Rice Flour with Buckwheat Flour (I mill my own). I added about a 1/4 cup of buckwheat to the recipe. I noticed that the waffles turned out more delicate than the original recipe.

The taste was fine but I experienced some bad cramping and several trips to the bathroom - no D. The cramping was intense but eventually let up. I am not certain that the waffles
were the culprit but I suspect they were.

I wonder if anyone has experienced such reaction to buckwheat in their baking.

 

Thanks

I get really bad gas and cramping with any sugars or starches...but that is another Autoimmune disease in my large intestine that flares to that.

Buckwheat is a fruit seed and more closer related to rhubarb then grass. I take it the waffle iron was dedicated gluten-free and all the other ingredients where safe? Try just making a porridge with water and buckwheat bland and see if that bothers you as a elimination diet.

Yes - the iron is dedicated gluten-free just for me. All the other ingredients are totally gluten-free. When I made the waffles without the Buckwheat I had no issues. Good idea on making a porridge. Thanks Ennis_TX.

I make gluten-free pancakes with all buckwheat flour, Never had a problem, and the family likes them better than the old wheat ones.

      Possible celiac - need advice

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Do you have the results of your endoscopy? Did you do a celiac disease blood panel before that?  Here is more info about how to do a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood panel, or for an endoscopy: and this recent study recommends 4-6 slices of wheat bread per day:

      Celiac or not??

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It is odd that your Tissue Transglutaminase (TTG) IgA level has bounced from the "inconclusive" range (7.9, 9.8) down to a negative level (5.3), only to climb back up near the positive threshold. This inconsistency, coupled with your ongoing symptoms of malabsorption and specific nutrient deficiencies, is a strong clinical indicator that warrants a more thorough investigation than a simple "satisfactory" sign-off. A negative blood test does not definitively rule out celiac disease, especially with such variable numbers and a classic symptomatic picture. You are absolutely right to seek a second opinion and push for a referral to a gastroenterologist. A biopsy remains the gold standard for a reason, and advocating for one is the most direct path to getting the answers you need to finally address the root cause of your suffering.

      How Come Gluten Didnt Bother Me In Italy

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      There is a distinction between gluten itself and the other chemicals and processing methods involved in modern food production. Your experience in Italy and Greece, contrasted with your reactions in the U.S., provides powerful anecdotal evidence that the problem, for some people, may not be the wheat, but the additives like potassium bromate and the industrial processing it undergoes here. The point about bromines displacing iodine and disrupting thyroid function is a significant one, explaining a potential biological mechanism for why such additives could cause systemic health issues that mimic gluten sensitivity. It's both alarming and insightful to consider that the very "watchdog" agencies meant to protect us are allowing practices banned in many other developed countries. Seeking out European flour and your caution about the high-carb, potentially diabeticgenic nature of many gluten-free products are excellent practical takeaways from your research, but I just want to mention--if you have celiac disease you need to avoid all wheat, including all wheat and gluten in Europe.

      Draft gluten-free ciders… can they be trusted ?

      By Rejoicephd · Posted

      @Scott Adams That's actually exactly what I ended up asking for— vodka tonic with Titos.  I saw on their website that Tito's is certified gluten-free (maybe many of the clear vodkas are, I don't know, I just happened to look up Tito's in advance). I should have actually specified the 'splash' though, because I think with the amount of tonic she put in there, it did still end up fairly sweet.  Anyway, I think I've almost got this drink order down!

      Inconclusive results

      By Wends · Posted

      Be interesting to see the effects of dairy reintroduction with gluten. As well as milk protein sensitivity in and of itself the casein part particularly has been shown to mimic gluten in about 50% of celiacs. Keep us posted!
