Well, then... a very good welcome to you. :)

drewskie, we are very creative. And you can have your waffles, but with a slight different twist.

Walmart sells Van's frozen wheat-free, gluten-free waffles, and they taste great with butter and real maple syrup (you can get those at Wlmart, too)!

the first few months (3-4), yes, you'll actively miss them. after that, you'll be nostalgic about them. but you can have waffles and there's no reason not to get yourself a waffle maker and start making them.

Hi Drewskie. I just realized that I'm in the teenagers only section, so I hope you forgive me. I have a 15 yo daughter and 12 yo son who are also gluten-free. It's hard at first, but you and your mom will get the hang of it. My other 2 kids (13 and 9) eat gluten-free at home and we have almost everything that we had before going gluten-free. We just have to make it now.

Trader Joe's and a lot of other supermarkets carry really good gluten-free waffles. Fiddle-Faddle suggested Vans - they are good and you can get them at lots of stores. Lifestream is another good brand - my kids like the buckwheat berry flavor. I'm sure your mom will learn how to make them gluten-free pretty soon. Hang in there!

Just make sure that the waffle maker and bread maker from your grampa has never been used. They need to be totally gluten free.

I haven't really missed gluten foods yet. I've gone all out and bought heaps of stuff I can have and lots of the gluten free alternatives of stuff. By surrounding myself with the OK stuff, I never have to search for something to eat and thus find something I want but can't have.

      10 years later, my celiac is progressing

      I mostly eat healthy. My diet has varied over the past 10 years but mostly consisted of meals I cooked at home made from scratch. Ingredients I used over the years include (not in order): non-wheat grains such as teff, sorghum, millet, and eggs, butter, cheese, some milk, meat (poultry, red meat, but very little processed meat), gluten-free baked bread (mostly...

      Speculating on Benjamin Franklin's Health: Could He Have Had Celiac Disease?

      Not wholly sure what benefit there is to this kind of speculation. I also find it somewhat amusing that the author somehow grazed right past the rather well-known fact that Franklin was a lover of beer and ale and is reported to have been a home-brewer. Yard's Brewing, Philadelphia, even brews a modern iteration, based on Franklin's own recipe: Poor Richard...

      Hair loss

      It sounds like you're dealing with a complex situation, and I can understand how frustrating it must be not to have a clear answer. Gut health can indeed play a significant role in various aspects of our well-being, including hair health.

      Thiamine supplementation

      I have found similar benefits from thiamine. I was diagnosed with celiac at 16 and never really recovered despite strict gluten and dairy free diet and no detectable antibodies on checkup bloodworks. I’ve tried stopping the b1 but start to feel bad again- I wanted my doctors to do more extensive testing for the different thiamine transporters and enzymes w...

      As a side note, it seems that medical science has evolved in the past 5-6 years regarding Celiac Disease, and I am now catching up. It seems that anything that disrupts the microbiome sufficiently enough can--in genetically susceptible individuals--lead to Celiac Disease. I have been reading now that antibiotics, excessive simple carbohydrates such as refined sugars and starches, the manner of birth such as C-section vs vaginal delivery, the diversity of one's diet, the presence of certain bacteria or viruses, can all contribute to microbiome dysbiosis, which can lead to Celiac. This is fascinating research.

Ingredients I used over the years include (not in order): non-wheat grains such as teff, sorghum, millet, and eggs, butter, cheese, some milk, meat (poultry, red meat, but very little processed meat), gluten-free baked bread (mostly Canyon Bakehouse brand), vegetables, fruits, nuts, legumes, peanuts, chocolate (not in the past 6 months). However, the mistakes I made in my diet are that I consumed too much sugar and carbohydrates from gluten-free baked goods that I baked myself at home such as gluten-free dessert items, and also I ate pretty much the same exact meals over and over, so a great lack of diversity in what I ate. I got lazy. I think this messed up my microbiome. The meals I ate were mostly healthy though. I always made sure to eat vegetables and fruits on a daily basis.  I have checked for nutrient deficiencies over the years and I am sometimes low in Vitamin D. I started supplementing it after that. What concerns me is the progressive nature of the food intolerances, which indicates the gut is not healing and has been leaking all along.

I was diagnosed with celiac at 16 and never really recovered despite strict gluten and dairy free diet and no detectable antibodies on checkup bloodworks. I’ve tried stopping the b1 but start to feel bad again- I wanted my doctors to do more extensive testing for the different thiamine transporters and enzymes which would be a better indication if I was deficient or dependent on it but everyone dismisses it (there are know genetic mutations where you need to take it daily for life). I have looked into Thiamine Responsive Megablast Anemia and I have a lot of the more mild symptoms of the disease that manifest when thiamine isn’t given to the patient such as optic neuritis… I just find the parallels interesting. i think that celiacs could be a side issue of inflammation that resulted from vitamin deficiencies. I was eating a lot of sugar leading up to my diagnosis and since eating gluten free didn’t make me feel much better, I’m wondering if this was more the underlying issue (sugar heavily depletes b1). I usually take 1.5g thiamine a day.

      Thank you for your welcome and reply.  Yes I've been carefully reading labels looking for everything in bold and have been amazed by what I have seen. However Heinz tomato and basil soup is wheat free so I m thinking I already have ulcers?  The acid could be causing the pain . My pain always starts in one place then follows the same route through me . GP confirmed that is the route of our digestive system.  So much pain from stabbing to tearing. If I throw in milk with lactose it's horrific.  Many years of it now, won't go into details but been seeing a consultant for a supposedly different problem . Wondering what damage has been done over the years. Many thanks for your reply. Wishing you the very best.
