Well...I was at Trader Joes today....bought two boxes! I was shocked that they were so much cheaper than the Vans one! OMGOOOODNESSSS!!!

I paid $1.69 for the TJ's, the Van's are usually $2.79.

I hope I like them as much.

HI,

I have to admit the first time I tried them about a year ago I did not like them. I was putting them in the toaster.

However, I recently had bought them again to try, but this time I have been putting them in the microwave for about 1 minute and somehow, they are coming out very moist and yummy!

Well, I made it to Trader Joes last week. I just opened the TJ's waffles which were $1.79 for 8 of them. I don't like them as much as the Van's, honestly. BUT for the difference in price, I will settle for them! LOL :D Van's being $2.79 for SIX is frustrating! Oh well.

You can make a really great stuffing using the Vans waffles. My gluten-free hubby says it's the closest to stove top taste he's had!!

Do you have the recipe for that?

I've tried the Vans ones - what is the weird almost minty flavor that's there? I had a hard time with the texture - but just toasted them. I'll have to try the suggestions above...

Also, there is this gluten free blogger, the Gluten Free Goddess, (can I post her website here??) she makes a strata with the Van's waffles. (Strata - an egg and veggie and normally bread, cheese combo that you let sit overnight, them bake in the morning...and the Van's waffles hold up!)

      There are other Celiac genes. HLA DQ 2 and HLA DQ 8 show up in people from Northern European descent.   People of Mediterranean descent have HLA DQ 7.  People of Asian descent have HLA DQ 9.   There's other Indigenous populations that have other HLA genes that code for Celiac disease.   Are you still having symptoms?   What do you include in your diet?  Are you vegetarian? Are you taking any prescription medication?  Omeprazole?  Metformin?   Do you have anemia?  Thyroid problems? Are you taking any vitamins or herbal supplements?

      There are eight essential B vitamins.  They are all water soluble.  Any excess of B vitamins is easily excreted by the kidneys.   Thiamine is Vitamin B 1.  Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  Benfotiamine and TTFD are forms of Thiamine that the body can utilize very easily.   The form of Thiamine in the supplements you mentioned is Thiamine Mononitrate, a form that the body does not absorb well and does not utilize well.  Only about thirty percent of the amount on the label is actually absorbed in the small intestine.  Less than that can actually be used by the body.  Manufacturers add thiamine mononitrate to their products because it's cheap and shelf-stable.  Thiamine and other B vitamins break down when exposed to light and heat and over time.  Thiamine Mononitrate is a form that does not break down over time sitting on a shelf waiting for someone to buy them.  What makes Thiamine Mononitrate shelf stable makes it difficult for the body to turn into a useable form.  In fact, it takes more thiamine to turn it into a useable form.   Gastrointestinal Beriberi is a localized shortage of Thiamine in the gastrointestinal tract.  High carbohydrate meals can result in gastrointestinal symptoms of Gastric Beriberi.  Fiber is a type of carbohydrate.  So, high fiber/carbohydrate snacks could trigger Gastric Beriberi.   Since blood tests for Thiamine and other B vitamins are so inaccurate, the World Health Organization recommends trying Thiamine and looking for health improvement because it's safe and nontoxic.

      Thanks very interesting I have to see if I should take these 2 vitamins along with my multi and super Vit B complex or if its too much or would hurt me. I don't have any other health issues but would love to see if this improves anything especially to feel stronger build muscle.
