Stroopwafels!

Hubby's parents are going to visit family in Holland next week. We have a deep love for that quintessential Dutch treat - stroopwafels. If you know what they are, you probably know how delicious they taste!

Whenever someone we know goes to Holland, they always bring back a ton of goodies, but the stroopwaffels are what we look forward to the most. Is there a gluten-free brand of these sinful treats that can be purchased in Holland? Please tell me there is! :)

Ah .... stroopwafel I remember them well :(

I used to love them too - even though they were very, very sweet (I am more of an extra salty drop girl myself ...)

Of course drop is now out too. So sad .... :(

I don't think they make them in the Netherlands.

I did a search for them and came up empty.

May I suggest that you put in a call to a Dutch food importer, such as this one:

1dutchmall.com / Holland American

10343 E. Artesia Blvd.

Bellflower, CA 90706

Phone:562-925-6914

Fax:562-925-4507

Hours: Monday -Friday (10am-5pm)

Saturday (10am-6pm)

Sunday (11am - 4pm)

If they do make them they can tell you the brand and then your husband's parents can search them. By the way, "gluten free" in Dutch translates to "glutenvrij".

One of my coworkers brought in stroopwafel - and kruidkook (spice cake) last month - there they were on the breakroom table and it broke my heart not to be able to have some of both.

Sorry I was not able to help you out more. But I'd put in a call to the folks above and see what they say.

Grootjes!

Update tsfairy:

Oh, god, I found them!! :D:D:D

A company called Consenza makes them.

I looks like they are made from rice flour (rijstzetmeel) and corn meal (maiszetmeel) and come in a package of 4 pieces for 5 Euros. Have your hubby's parents try finding them in a big supermaket like Albert Hejn - and have them ask (or print out the page) and show it to them there.

Good luck to you!

If you like them let me know how they taste!!

Bestjes!!

      Hypothetical question about antibodies

      By Zuma888 · Posted

      I just got my test results after a less than 2-week gluten challenge consuming about 5 g of gluten per day on average.  Anti tTG-IgA: <0.2 AU/ml (<8 is negative) IgA: 180 mg/dl (Reference range is 70-400) I previously had been on a gluten-free diet for around 3 years or so, with occasional cheating and not being strict about cross-contamination. I am however still suffering from the effects of the gluten challenge (food sensitivities, slight brain fog, weird stool, fatigue, swollen thyroid, bodyaches). Is this likely to be NCGS rather than celiac disease given the test results and my history? Note: I have one copy of HLA-DQ8.

      Inflammation and Menier’s disease link?

      By trents · Posted

      How long have you been strictly gluten free? Certainly, it would be good to look into vitamin and mineral deficiencies and supplementation. The B vitamins, magnesium and D3 are all very important to neurological health. Unfortunately, it can be difficult to reverse gluten-induced neurological damage damage if it has gone on for a long time.

      Thanks Trents I'm strict with my gluten-free diet now. I just don't feel any better. I'm going to get tested for vitamins and minerals to see if I need some supplements. For sure I got some damage that doctors call Menier's and the only way they treat it is with medicine that does damage my body more than it helps.

      Thank you Scott for your helpful response! Based on this, would you say someone who is on a gluten-free diet - but not strict about cross-contamination and occasional cheating - and tests negative for tTg-IgA while having normal total IgA is not likely to have celiac, even if they have been 'gluten-free' for years?

      Hypothetical question about antibodies

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      That’s a really insightful observation about antibody testing and the gluten challenge! You’re absolutely right that antibody levels can remain elevated for months or even years after going gluten-free, especially if there’s ongoing cross-contamination or occasional slip-ups. The immune system doesn’t reset overnight—it can take time for antibodies like tTG-IgA to normalize, which is why many doctors recommend waiting at least 6–12 months of strict gluten-free eating before retesting. For someone who’s been gluten-free for less than two years or hasn’t been meticulous about avoiding cross-contact, there’s absolutely a chance they’d still test positive, since even small amounts of gluten can keep antibodies elevated. This is partly why the gluten challenge (where you eat gluten before testing) exists—it’s designed to provoke a measurable immune response in people who’ve been gluten-free long enough for antibodies to drop. But you raise a great point: the challenge isn’t perfect, and false negatives can happen if the timing or amount of gluten isn’t sufficient to trigger a strong antibody response. This is why diagnosis often combines antibody tests with other tools like genetic testing or endoscopy. Your question highlights just how nuanced celiac testing can be! For people with celiac disease hidden gluten in their diets is the main cause of elevated Tissue Transglutaminase IgA Antibodies (tTG-IgA), but there are other conditions, including cow's milk/casein intolerance, that can also cause this, and here is an article about the other possible causes:
