Lifestream Waffles


Chrisser

Recommended Posts

Has anyone had problems with Lifestream waffles? Specifically the Mesa Sunrise waffles? I had them for breakfast this morning and soon after had similar symptoms that I had after eating Frosted Mini Wheats before I went gluten-free (dry mouth, skin-crawling feeling). I also very REALLY sick to my stomach for about an hour.

(Sorry if this post appears twice...I tried posting it earlier, but it seems to have disappeared)

I've been wondering about the blueberry buckwheat waffles. I was getting gluten for a while and couldn't figure out why, so I eliminated all of the newest stuff in my diet, including the waffles. I don't know if it was the waffles or not, but I don't seem to be getting it now.

unlike their cereals, nature's path produces their waffles in a non-gluten free facility. i would think it might have something to do with cross-contamination.

i've never tried them (nor would i, becasue of this - far easier to make my own waffles instead of taking a risk), but i would chalk it up to that.

I've never noticed a problem with the blueberry waffles.

I can't eat any of their waffles.

I don't know if it's cc or something else. I noticed their waffles are very grainy - not gluten grain, I mean it's like eating sand. Anything I can't fully digest (popcorn, seeds, nuts, corn/meal, lettuce, etc.) tends to cause me tummy trouble after awhile. <_<

I stopped eating them. I think they have a cc statement on the package.

I was just going to add this thread for myself. I've been eating Lifestream Buckweat berry waffles everyday and I just opened a new package 2 days ago, and for 2 days I've had trouble. I can't figure anything else in my diet doing it. I've really cracked down on my diet this past month or so and I don't see what else it could be. I'd say it's definately the waffles. I did notice (today) the statement on the package: made in a NON-gluten free environment. I know people have said Vans are contaminated sometimes too. Guess it's no more waffles for me! :angry:

I know what you mean. I have resorted to using a waffle/pancake mix and having them only on the weekends as a treat.

      I realized it is actually important to get an official diagnosis because then insurance can cover bone density testing and other lab work to see if any further damage has been done because of it. Also, if hospitalized for whatever reason, I have the right to gluten-free food if I am officially celiac. I guess it gives me some legal protections. Plus, I have 4 kids, and I really want to know. If I really do have it then they may have increased risk.

      Been off this forum for years. Is it that important that you get an official diagnosis of something? It appears like you had a trigger (wheat, gluten, whatever) and removing it has resolved your symptom. I can't speak for you, but I had known what my trigger was (gluten) years before my diagnosis I would just stay gluten-free and get on with my symptom free condition. I was diagnosed over 20 years ago and have been symptom free only excluding wheat, rye and barley. I tolerate all naturally gluten free whole foods including things like beans which actually helps to form the stools.

      No coincidence. Recent revisions to gluten challenge guidelines call for the daily consumption of at least 10g of gluten (about the amount in 4-6 slices of wheat bread) for a minimum of 3 weeks. If possible, I would extend that two weeks to ensure valid testing.

      Thank you both for the replies. I decided to bring back gluten so I can do the blood test. Today is Day #2 of the Challenge. Yesterday I had about 3 slices of whole wheat bread and I woke up with urgent diarrhea this morning. It was orange, sandy and had the distinctive smell that I did not have when I was briefly gluten free. I don't know if it's a coincidence, but the brain fog is back and I feel very tired.

      @Jane02, I hear you about the kale and collard greens.  I don't do dairy and must eat green leafies, too, to get sufficient calcium.  I must be very careful because some calcium supplements are made from ground up crustacean shells.  When I was deficient in Vitamin D, I took high doses of Vitamin D to correct the deficiency quickly.  This is safe and nontoxic.  Vitamin D level should be above 70 nmol/L.  Lifeguards and indigenous Pacific Islanders typically have levels between 80-100 nmol/L.   Levels lower than this are based on amount needed to prevent disease like rickets and osteomalacia. We need more thiamine when we're physically ill, emotionally and mentally stressed, and if we exercise like an athlete or laborer.  We need more thiamine if we eat a diet high in simple carbohydrates.  For every 500 kcal of carbohydrates, we need 500-1000 mg more of thiamine to process the carbs into energy.  If there's insufficient thiamine the carbs get stored as fat.  Again, recommended levels set for thiamine are based on minimum amounts needed to prevent disease.  This is often not adequate for optimum health, nor sufficient for people with absorption problems such as Celiac disease.  Gluten free processed foods are not enriched with vitamins like their gluten containing counterparts.  Adding a B Complex and additional thiamine improves health for Celiacs.  Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  Thiamine helps the mitochondria in cells to function.  Thiamine interacts with each of the other B vitamins.  They are all water soluble and easily excreted if not needed.
