Anyone Else Have Trouble With Van's gluten-free Waffles?

I tried them for the first time last week and I had nausea/vomiting and a bad headache the three days I tried them. I know it sounds stupid trying them 3 days in a row with that reaction, but I am pregnant right now so the nausea/vomiting (my main glutening symptom) isn't so obviously tied to gluten right now. I didn't eat them the next 3 days and felt much better those days. I also haven't had a headache since I stopped eating them. If not for the headache I'd just assume I had some bad days because of the pregnancy, but the headache is a tell tale glutening sign for me, so it makes me suspicious.

I can't tolerate them either....it's most likely cross contamination since they make products with wheat. If you're sensitive to soy and have a similar reaction with it, it could be that too.

Feel better :)

They made me sick when I tried them over two years ago. They also made my son sick.

Hmm, I don't think I'm sensitive to soy. But something about them bugged me. I wonder if it was cross contamination. I think it's safe to say I won't be trying them again to try to figure out what the issue was. They are simple enough to avoid for me. I'm glad they work for some people.

      And the fact is, no two celiacs will necessarily respond the same to gluten exposure. Some are "silent" celiacs and don't experience obvious symptoms. But that doesn't mean no harm is being done to their gut. It just means it is subclinical.

      Thank you, Trents.  I appreciate your helpful and friendly reply. It seems more likely to be a bug.  It has been a pretty severe bought. I feel that I don’t have enough experience to know what signs my little one shows after exposure to gluten.

      Hannah24, be aware that if you are on a gluten free diet, you will invalidate any further testing for celiac disease (except genetics) and would need to go back to eating significant amounts of gluten for weeks or months to qualify for valid testing.

      Hello, @Hannah24 Have you had a DNA test done?  Celiac Disease is genetic.  You must have at least one gene to develop celiac disease.  You don't have to be consuming gluten for a genetic test.   Anemia, diabetes and thiamine deficiency can cause false negatives.  Some lucky people are seronegative, but still have celiac disease.  Peripheral neuropathy, tingling in hands and feet are symptoms of vitamin deficiencies.  Vitamin C, Thiamine B1, Niacin B3, Pyridoxine B6, and Cobalamine B12 can each cause peripheral neuropathy.  These same vitamins are needed to produce blood cells.  Most undiagnosed Celiacs suffer from nutritional deficiencies. The DNA test would be helpful.

      We do hear of cases of remission but they generally eventually revert back. I wouldn't push your luck.
