Van's Gluten-free Waffles?


rueyn

Recommended Posts

This is going to seem like an odd question, but have they changed their recipe lately? The last few boxes I've bought of both the gluten-free blueberry and gluten-free apple-cinnamon taste different - like real waffles - and aren't crumbly like the other (dozens) boxes I've bought of theirs. I'm actually scared to eat them. :unsure:

Ideas?

You get apple cinnamon waffles????.....WHERE?????

Seriously, though.....sounds like the waffles you were getting previously were maybe old?....or freezer-burnt? My Van's waffles have never been crumbly.

I love the apple cinnamon waffles! They are the best. My ultra picky son will even eat them! I got mine at Whole Foods.

Hrm. Interesting. I can't tell if I'm getting glutened, b/c my body doesn't react right away, but maybe you're right. Guess I'll try them for a week and see how things go :) Thanks!

Oh, and I get mine at Publix - they have a large gluten-free product selection :)

I buy the Apple Cinnamon and Blueberry ones from Publix all the time. Both my daughters eat one for breakfast every day (pretty much) so we go through lots! I would say half are crumbly and half are not. I have always thought it was because I bought an old package. Yummy either way. And I am so trying them with peanut butter and marmalade now!

I love Vans Waffles with applesauce and cinnamon on them.

We tried the Flax ones and they were awful. Both of us took 2 bites, looked at each other and threw them out!!!! They were very dry and crumbly even with toppings on.

      Hey @Butch68, I also have dermatitis herpetiformis but don't suffer from it anymore. I used to drink Guinness too but I drink Cider now when out on social occasions. I assume you are in Ireland or the UK. If it's any good to you ... 9 White Deer based in Cork brew a range of gluten-free products including a gluten-free Stout. I'm not sure if they are certified though. https://www.9whitedeer.ie/ I haven't come across any certified gluten-free stouts this side of the pond.

      This is a very common question, and the most important thing to know is that no, Guinness is not considered safe for individuals with coeliac disease. While it's fascinating to hear anecdotes from other coeliacs who can drink it without immediate issues, this is a risky exception rather than the rule. The core issue is that Guinness is brewed from barley, which contains gluten, and the standard brewing process does not remove the gluten protein to a level safe for coeliacs (below 20ppm). For someone like you who experiences dermatitis herpetiformis, the reaction is particularly significant. DH is triggered by gluten ingestion, even without immediate gastrointestinal symptoms. So, while you may not feel an instant stomach upset, drinking a gluten-containing beer like Guinness could very well provoke a flare-up of your skin condition days later. It would be a gamble with a potentially uncomfortable and long-lasting consequence. Fortunately, there are excellent, certified gluten-free stouts available now that can provide a safe and satisfying alternative without the risk.

      Interestingly, this thought occurred to me last night. I did find that there are studies investigating whether vitamin D deficiency can actually trigger celiac disease.  Source: National Institutes of Health https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7231074/

      Before being diagnosed coeliac I used to love Guinness. Being made from barley it should be something a coeliac shouldn’t drink. But taking to another coeliac and they can drink it with no ill effects and have heard of others who can drink it too.  is this everyone’s experience?  Can I drink it?  I get dermatitis herpetiformis and don’t get instant reactions to gluten so can’t try it to see for myself.

      NCGS does not cause damage to the small bowel villi so, if indeed you were not skimping on gluten when you had the antibody blood testing done, it is likely you have celiac disease.
