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.

what mamma goose said - there are some hand-me-downs that celiacs really just can't use. :(

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.

yea the bread maker and the waffle maker havent been used my grandpa doesnt use them and hasnt used them so we r good :P

      I don't see how cornstarch could alter the test results. Where did you read that?

      For pain relief I take a combination of Thiamine (Benfotiamine), Pyridoxine B 6, and Cobalamine B12.  The combination of these three vitamins has analgesic effects.  I have back pain and this really works.  The B vitamins are water soluble and easily excreted.   Hope this helps!  Keep us posted on your results!

      Welcome to the forum, @Xravith. I experienced similar symptoms before my diagnosis.  Mine were due to the loss of vitamins and minerals, essential nutrients we must get from our food.  With Celiac Disease, the intestinal lining, made up of thousands of villi, gets damaged and cannot absorb essential vitamins and minerals, especially the eight B vitamins.  The loss of Thiamine B 1 can cause muscle loss, inability to gain weight, edema (swelling), fatigue, migraines and palpitations.  Low thiamine can cause Gastrointestinal Beriberi with symptoms of nausea, abdominal pain and bloating.   Thiamine is only stored for a couple of weeks, so if you don't absorb enough from food daily, as the thiamine deficiency worsens physical symptoms gradually worsen.  If you're eating lots of carbs (like gluten containing foods usually do), you need more thiamine to process them (called high calorie malnutrition).  Thiamine works with all the other B vitamins, so if you're low in one, you're probably getting low in the others, too, and minerals like iron, magnesium, zinc, and calcium, as well as Vitamin D..  Talk to your doctor about checking for nutritional deficiencies.  Most doctors rarely recognize vitamin deficiency symptoms, especially in thiamine. Get a DNA test to see if you carry any Celiac genes.  If you do not have genetic markers for Celiac, it's probably IBS.  If you do have genetic markers for Celiac, it's probably Celiac.  I was misdiagnosed with IBS for years before my Celiac diagnosis.   Keep us posted on your progress. P. S. Deficiency in thiamine can cause false negatives on antibody tests, as can diabetes and anemia.

      No she didn't because if I want to ask I have to pay 700$ for 1 hour appointment so I couldn't even ask. I read that fillers like cornstash can alter the result and tylenol contains it so that's why I tried to find someone who can answer.
