Cramping Issues with Buckwheat Flour Recipes

The other day I decided to experiment with my waffle recipe. I love my gluten-free waffles with Maple syrup and blueberries. My recipe contains these flours: Rice Flour, Brown Rice and Tapioca Flour - and Corn Starch. I tried to cut back on the Rice Flour with Buckwheat Flour (I mill my own). I added about a 1/4 cup of buckwheat to the recipe. I noticed that the waffles turned out more delicate than the original recipe.

The taste was fine but I experienced some bad cramping and several trips to the bathroom - no D. The cramping was intense but eventually let up. I am not certain that the waffles
were the culprit but I suspect they were.

I wonder if anyone has experienced such reaction to buckwheat in their baking.

 

Thanks

I get really bad gas and cramping with any sugars or starches...but that is another Autoimmune disease in my large intestine that flares to that.

Buckwheat is a fruit seed and more closer related to rhubarb then grass. I take it the waffle iron was dedicated gluten-free and all the other ingredients where safe? Try just making a porridge with water and buckwheat bland and see if that bothers you as a elimination diet.

Yes - the iron is dedicated gluten-free just for me. All the other ingredients are totally gluten-free. When I made the waffles without the Buckwheat I had no issues. Good idea on making a porridge. Thanks Ennis_TX.

I make gluten-free pancakes with all buckwheat flour, Never had a problem, and the family likes them better than the old wheat ones.

      Asking for Help Understanding Endoscopy/Biopsy Lab Results

      Well, the only thing I would conclude with would be, if you choose not to trial the gluten free diet, is to encourage you to get periodically tested, either antibody blood tests or the biopsy or both. I think it something that needs to be monitored.

      So the strange thing is I don't have any symptoms at all, except the soft stools (comes and goes) which they told me was from the Lymphocytic colitis. I had some mild positives on my antibody test and one gene was positive which is what made my doctor go ahead with the endoscopy. The reason they started any of this was finding the lymphocytic colitis this past summer after I had C Diff and she said, Well....it may be from something like Celiac.... Definitely a lot to learn through all of this and I appreciate people like you taking the time to help out a stranger like me!

      Well, I wouldn't rule either out. And you might consider trialing a gluten free diet for a few months to see if symptoms improve. That would tell you a lot. By the way, the incidence of other bowel diseases is higher in the celiac population than it is in the general population. And even if you don't have celiac disease, you could have NCGS. Gluten is just problematic for a lot of folks for various reasons.

      Thanks for taking a look. I also just did some research and saw that increased numbers of intraepithelial lymphocytes and villous distortion can possibly be from lymphocytic colitis (which I was diagnosed with this past summer)....so fingers crossed this is what she will say it is.

      IMO, Part 3 has some abnormalties that could indicate the early stages of celiac disease but the doctor is tentatively thinking not, at least at this point.
