Van's Waffles

I ate some Van's blueberry waffles Thursday evening and have not felt well since. Actually today is the first day I feel back to normal. Has anyone had problems with these waffles? I felt like I had to go to the bathroom (BM) all the time for about three days after eating them, just bloated and yucky feeling, and my anxieties were full strong over the weekend.

Sorry you're sick :(

Are you sure you got the gluten-free ones? The boxes are almost identical except for the ribbon across the front.

I don't have a problem with them. Was your syrup gluten-free?

They contain a lot of soy flour, and that is what bothers me. I think soy flour can be bothersome to some people who aren't generally intolerant to soy.

Yes they were the gluten free kind, and yes, my syrup was also gluten free, same with margarine also.

I do okay with the plain gluten-free ones, but I have been eating the Buckwheat gluten-free ones and think they are causing some issues. Not sure if it is the buckwheat or soy or what. I am intolerant to soy, but have been able to eat the plain gluten-free waffles with no issues in the past.

I haven't had issues with them, but my dad has had some issues with the Flax and Buckwheat ones. Of course, I'm so new to the diet yet that I haven't figured out what's bothering me and what is still remnants of my gluteny days. :)

My dd got very sick on the Vans Wheat Free Waffles.. I couldn't figure it out. I have some Lifestream Buckwheat ones to try now though.

I don't think Van's are made on dedicated lines. So it could be a cc issue. I had to stop eating them a long time ago.

I got very sick from Van's waffles. I don't know if it was the CC or the soy flour, but I won't try them again.

I never noticed a problem with Van's, but I haven't had them that much either. Maybe you got a contaminated batch. I would stay away from them. Try Nature's Path Buckwheat Wildberry Waffles, they are produced in a gluten free facility. I eat those all the time with no problems.

Thanks for the suggestion! I hope to find some today! :)

      Alcohol

      By Suze046 · Posted

      Hey! I’m recently gluten free and yes I really struggle with alcohol now. I haven’t really drank in 2 months as it just made me feel awful the next day in terms of stomach ache mainly. I’ve had a couple of glasses of white wine here and there (mainly low sulphate) but every time it gives me a gut ache. I think it’s because but guy is so damaged from my journey to discovering my gluten intolerance and hopefully this will improve but honestly I’m just not bothered about having a drink now. I can’t even touch Prosecco or champagne I think the bubbles really upset me!

      I just wanted to share my support for you. Rant away. We all know that, and have experiences like that at some point. I am sorry for that very unpleasant, and emotionally isolating reminder of your medical condition. Which always is exacerbated by the hunger. I will admit many of my family friends, and coworkers found it easier to exclude me than to accommodate me. I also have to be very strict with cross contamination so in hindsight they did me a favor.  The sting however can often still be unearthed when I read experiences like yours.  I am sorry you had that occur. I hope you, and the coworkers can find the easy more accommodating experiences again after this unfortunate incident. Best wishes.

      Diagnosed gluten allergy but not Celiac

      By Awol cast iron stomach · Posted

      "...hemorrhoids, constipation and diarrhea" . Heard of indeed. Experienced too. In hindsight, I can remember from age 2 having, and trying to convey my issues. I went 38 years misdiagnosed. So yes one can have these issues. I did have to go back on gluten for a gluten challenge. I failed that challenge and 6 days in they give me permission to stop, and I proceed with my scopes as scheduled. Post those 6 days I had gained 13 intolerances. I had to remove many foods, and reintroduce them back in. Nine years later I have two that remain gluten, and corn. I found it helpful to follow a whole foods diet. I also found autoimmune (AIP) protocol diet/recipes, and Paleo diet/recipes helpful. I still enjoy many of those homemade version recipes. I still continue to make my own salad dressings even if I can find a gluten-free store bought version. Fresh taste best to this palate now.  I did give up many grains I was off many and reverted to coconut flour and almond flour as work arounds .  I still remember the first time my gut experienced the reintroduction of quinoa. It wasn't sure if it wanted to flare or not. In 30 minutes it reported back ok this will pass. Many foods were removed post gluten challenge for me for 2 years and 4 months. At the 2 year 4 month mark is when my body said ok let's eat again, but don't ever feed me gluten again! I wish you the best.

      if you have already learned that Gluten is the cause of your symptoms, of course there is no need to add it back into your diet— your decision could save you a lot of needless suffering. One thing to consider is that if you do have celiac disease, your first- degree relatives may also need to get screened for it, because, like diabetes the disease is genetic, although many of its triggers seem to be environmental factors. You may want to consider getting a genetic test for celiac disease, so you can at least warn your relatives if it turns out that you do carry a celiac gene.
