Gluten Free Waffles

Hello,

I used to love Lifestream brand Buckwheat waffles but I haven't eaten them in a long time. I was eating them for several months but saw a return in symptoms and suspected those may have had something to do with it. I think I remember reading here a while back that others had issues with them too.

Anyone know if they have fixed any possible contamination issues?

Or - does anyone know of any gluten free waffles other than Vans? (I don't like Vans)

Thanks~

Trader Joe's has gluten-free waffles and they are delicious. My kids love both the plain and the banana. Kinikinnick also sells waffles, but I haven't tried them. They get rave reviews from others, though.

Wow - the closest Trader Joe's is over an hour away from me! I'm sure Kinickinnick is great - I like many of their products - I just can't afford the shipping and no one sells the waffles here. Maybe I can talk one of our stores into carrying them.

Thanks :)

What about getting a waffle maker and making your own? Make extra and freeze them. Would be cheaper in the long run. I have only made pancakes so far and they are a lot better than frozen waffles at the grocery store. I want to make homemade waffles though.

I have seen a lot of recipies in my cookbooks for waffles but have been putting any extra time I have into trying to cook new gluten free meals.

Good Luck

We bought a new waffle iron at Walmart for 10 bucks. I make a batch and keep in the fridge for a couple of days or you can freeze them. Just pop them in the toaster. My daughter likes them with homemade apple pie filling on top. I use the recipe from Gluten Free Quick and Easy by Carol Fenster. Our health food store is about 120 miles round trip. That is inconvenient! Last time I was there, they were out but I wasn't going to buy them anyway.

Kinnickinick makes great frozen gluten free waffles. They come in regular flavor and cinnamon brown sugar.

Thanks for the ideas. I haven't found a pancake mix I like yet, but maybe I can mix up my own waffle mix and just do it myself. I'll check out some recipes.

Thanks! :D

Pamela's Ultimate Baking and Pancake Mix makes really good waffles - recipe on the package.

If you can get them, my absolute favorites are the lifestream buckwheat wildberry gluten-free waffles in the purple box. They are the best I have ever had and I feel bummed if I am out of them in the am.

You have to be careful because they make many similarly boxed items and some are not gluten-free.

Hmmm - haven't tried Pamela's for waffles. I didn't care for the pancakes much. Would the recipe be different for waffles I wonder?

Yes, I love Lifestream. I thought I was being careful to get gluten-free ones. I thought others had had cc issues with them and so when I started having trouble again I just attributed it to the waffles, but who knows.

I might just have to try those Kinickinnick ones if I can get my hands on them. I definately can't afford $10 shipping for a few waffles!

Thanks~

      Help I’m cross contaminating myself,

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      I followed the Autoimmune Protocol Diet which is really strict for a while, but later other foods can be added back into your diet.  Following the AIP diet strictly allows you digestive system to heal and the inflammation to calm down.  Sort of like feeding a sick baby easy to digest food instead of spicy pizza.   It's important to get the inflammation down because chronic inflammation leads to other health problems.  Histamine is released as part of the autoimmune response to gluten.  High histamine levels make you feel bad and can cause breathing problems (worsening asthma), cardiovascular problems (tachycardia), and other autoimmune diseases (Hashimoto's thyroiditis, diabetes) and even mental health problems. Following the low histamine version of the AIP diet allows the body to clear the histamine from our bodies.  Some foods are high in histamine.  Avoiding these makes it easier for our bodies to clear the histamine released after a gluten exposure.   Vitamin D helps regulate the immune system and calm it down.  Vitamin D is frequently low in Celiacs.  The B Complex vitamins and Vitamin C are needed to clear histamine.   Supplementing with essential vitamins and minerals boosts your intestines' ability to absorb them while healing.   Keep in mind that gluten-free facsimile foods, like gluten-free bread, are not enriched with added vitamins like their gluten containing counterparts are.   They are empty calories, no nutritional value, which use up your B vitamins in order to turn the calories into fuel for the body to function.   Talk to your doctor or nutritionist about supplementing while healing.  Take a good B Complex and extra Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine (shown to promote gut health).  Most B Complex vitamins contain thiamine mononitrate which the body cannot utilize.  Meats and liver are good sources of B vitamins.   Dr. Sarah Ballantyne wrote the book, the Paleo Approach.  She's a Celiac herself.  Her book explains a lot.   I'm so glad you're feeling better and finding your balance!

      So I should not eat my gluten free bread?  I will try the vitamins.  Thank you all so very much for your ideas and understanding.  I'm feeling better today and have gathered back my composure!

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Some people prefer eating gluten before bed, then sleeping through the worst symptoms at night.  You might want to try that and see if that makes any difference.   Several slices of toast for breakfast sounds okay.  Just try to work up to the Ten grams of gluten.  Cookies might only have a half of a gram of gluten.  The weight of the whole cookie is not the same as the amount of gluten in it.  So do try to eat bread things with big bubbles, like cinnamon rolls.   Yeah, I'm familiar with the "death warmed over" feeling.  I hope you get the genetic test results quickly.  I despise how we have to make ourselves sick to get a diagnosis.  Hang in there, sweetie, the tribe is supporting you.

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By Xravith · Posted

      @knitty kitty  Thank you very much for the advice. I did the exam this morning, my doctor actually suggested me to take something called "Celiac duo test" in which I first do the genetic test and if it's positive, then I'll have to do the antigen blood test. I have to attend 1 month until my results are ready, so I have some weeks to increase the amount of gluten I eat daily. It will be hard because my health is not the best right now, but I also did a blood test to cheek my nutritional deficiencies. The results will arrive on Tuesday, so I can ask my doctor what should I do to control my symptoms and blood levels during this month. For now I'm resting and paying attention to what I eat— at least I don’t look like a vampire who just woke up, like I did yesterday. I'm still scared because is the first time I've felt this sick, but this is the right moment to turn things around for the better.  I realized that if I eat gluten at lunch I cannot finish the day properly, I become severely tired and sometimes my stomach hurts a lot - let's not talk about the bloating that starts later. Do you think is it ok to eat gluten just in the morning, like some cookies and slices of bread for breakfast?
