Here's what I did (sorry it's not too scientific):

1. separate 4 eggs (yes, 4. I know it's a lot!)

2. set yolks aside

3. whip whites to stiff peaks, set aside

4. melt 4 TBSP "buttery stick" or similar

5. slowly whip melted "butter" into yolks

6. mix in 1 cup soy milk (or whatever)

7. add 1/2 tsp xanthan gum

8. add 1/4 tsp salt

9. add 2 TBSP sugar

10. add 1 1/2 tsp baking powder

11. add 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

12. in a dry 1/2 cup measure, fill about a third of it with potato starch

13. full the remaining space in the 1/2 cup measure with gluten-free flour mix

14. mix well

15. carefully fold egg whites into the batter

Use your waffle iron's instructions. I get four round waffles. They're really fluffy (read: eggy) but I like them that way. I prefer waffles to scrambled eggs.

We used Aunt Jemima syrup.

Sounds wonderful. I used to make them with egg whites that you fluffed up and added the other stuff to. They were so light they almost floted. I will enjoy being able to eat a good waffle again.

Thanks,

Thanks for the recipe. The waffles I made were "yucky."

Other than the fluffiness, is there any reason to separate the eggs?

I've used the Pamela's brand pancake mix using the batter as described for pancakes and as described for waffles (eggs whites whipped separately), cooking both times in a waffle iron. While I liked the waffle directions better, I wasn't convinced that they were enough better to justify the extra effort.

The whipped egg whites provide more leavening action. *I* can tell the difference but I also might be extra picky.

Back in my wheat-OK days I skipped the egg white step when I was in a hurry. And it always made the waffle feel "flat." Kind of like the difference between a fresh can of soda and one you put in the fridge to save for later.

      Draft gluten-free ciders… can they be trusted ?

      I'd go with a vodka tonic, but that's just me😉

      Draft gluten-free ciders… can they be trusted ?

      By Rejoicephd · Posted

      That and my nutritionist also said that drinking cider is one of the worst drink choices for me, given that I have candida overgrowth.  She said the combination of the alcohol and sugar would be very likely to worsen my candida problem.  She suggested that if I drink, I go for clear vodka, either neat or with a splash of cranberry.   So in summary, I am giving ciders a rest.  Whether it's a gluten risk or sugars and yeast overgrowth, its just not worth it.

      Tea Bags and Gluten

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      While plain, pure tea leaves (black, green, or white) are naturally gluten-free, the issue often lies not with the tea itself but with other ingredients or processing. Many flavored teas use barley malt or other gluten-containing grains as a flavoring agent, which would be clearly listed on the ingredient label. Cross-contamination is another possibility, either in the facility where the tea is processed or, surprisingly, from the tea bag material itself—some tea bags are sealed with a wheat-based glue. Furthermore, it's important to consider that your reaction could be to other substances in tea, such as high levels of tannins, which can be hard on the stomach, or to natural histamines or other compounds that can cause a non-celiac immune response. The best way to investigate is to carefully read labels for hidden ingredients, try switching to a certified gluten-free tea brand that uses whole leaf or pyramid-style bags, and see if the reaction persists.

      Inconclusive results

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      This is a challenging and confusing situation. The combination of a positive EMA—which is a highly specific marker rarely yielding false positives—alongside strongly elevated TTG on two separate occasions, years apart, is profoundly suggestive of celiac disease, even in the absence of biopsy damage. This pattern strongly aligns with what is known as "potential celiac disease," where the immune system is clearly activated, but intestinal damage has not yet become visible under the microscope. Your concern about the long-term risk of continued gluten consumption is valid, especially given your family's experience with the consequences of delayed diagnosis. Since your daughter is now at an age where her buy-in is essential for a gluten-free lifestyle, obtaining a definitive answer is crucial for her long-term adherence and health. Given that she is asymptomatic yet serologically positive, a third biopsy now, after a proper 12-week challenge, offers the best chance to capture any microscopic damage that may have developed, providing the concrete evidence needed to justify the dietary change. This isn't about wanting her to have celiac; it's about wanting to prevent the insidious damage that can occur while waiting for symptoms to appear, and ultimately giving her the unambiguous "why" she needs to accept and commit to the necessary treatment. This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease. One test that always needs to be done is the IgA Levels/Deficiency Test (often called "Total IGA") because some people are naturally IGA deficient, and if this is the case, then certain blood tests for celiac disease might be false-negative, and other types of tests need to be done to make an accurate diagnosis. The article includes the "Mayo Clinic Protocol," which is the best overall protocol for results to be ~98% accurate.
