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! :)

      Celiac getting dentures

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Your experience is both shocking and critically important for the community to hear, underscoring the terrifying reality that cross-contamination can extend into the most unexpected and invasive medical devices. It is absolutely devastating that you had to endure six months of sickness and ultimately sustain permanent vision loss because a doctor dismissed your legitimate, life-altering condition. Your relentless research and advocacy, from discovering the gluten in MMA acrylic to finding a compassionate prosthodontist, is a testament to your strength in a system that often fails celiac patients. While the scientific and medical consensus is that gluten cannot be absorbed through the skin or eyes (as the molecules are too large to pass through these barriers), your story highlights a terrifying gray area: what about a substance *permanently implanted inside the body*, where it could potentially shed microparticles or cause a localized immune reaction? Your powerful warning about acrylic lenses and the drastic difference with the silicone alternative is invaluable information. Thank you for sharing your harrowing journey and the specific, severe neurological symptoms you endure; it is a stark reminder that celiac is a systemic disease, and your advocacy is undoubtedly saving others from similar trauma.

      Fighting for a name

      I am so sorry you're going through this bad experience--it's difficult when your own lived reality of cause and effect is dismissed by the very professionals meant to help you. You are absolutely right—your violent physical reactions are not "what you think," but undeniable data points, and it's a form of medical gaslighting to be told otherwise, especially when you have a positive HLA-DQ2 gene and a clear clinical picture. Since your current "celiac specialist" is not addressing the core issue or your related conditions like SIBO and chronic fatigue, it may be time for a strategic pivot. Instead of trying to "reprove" your celiac disease to unwilling ears, consider seeking out a new gastroenterologist or functional medicine doctor, and frame the conversation around managing the complications of a confirmed gluten-free diet for celiac disease. Go in and say, "I have celiac disease, am strictly gluten-free, but I am still suffering from these specific complications: SIBO, chronic fatigue, dermatological issues, and high blood pressure linked to pain. I need a partner to help me address these related conditions." This shifts the focus from a debate about your diagnosis to a collaborative plan for your current suffering, which is the help you truly need and deserve to work toward bouncing back.

      Hello, no I had to have them re done and then used a liner over the top.  Many dentists are not aware of the celiac effects.  Best of luck.   There is other material, yet, very expensive.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      He is not just a psychiatrist.  He is also a neuroscientist.  And yes, I have already read those studies.   I agree with benfotiamine.  This is short term while glutened/inflammation occurs.  As I had already mentioned, these symptoms no longer exist when this phase passes.  And yes, I know that celiac is a disease of malnutrition.  We are working with a naturopath.
