Well...I was at Trader Joes today....bought two boxes! I was shocked that they were so much cheaper than the Vans one! OMGOOOODNESSSS!!!

I paid $1.69 for the TJ's, the Van's are usually $2.79.

I hope I like them as much.

HI,

I have to admit the first time I tried them about a year ago I did not like them. I was putting them in the toaster.

However, I recently had bought them again to try, but this time I have been putting them in the microwave for about 1 minute and somehow, they are coming out very moist and yummy!

Well, I made it to Trader Joes last week. I just opened the TJ's waffles which were $1.79 for 8 of them. I don't like them as much as the Van's, honestly. BUT for the difference in price, I will settle for them! LOL :D Van's being $2.79 for SIX is frustrating! Oh well.

You can make a really great stuffing using the Vans waffles. My gluten-free hubby says it's the closest to stove top taste he's had!!

Do you have the recipe for that?

I've tried the Vans ones - what is the weird almost minty flavor that's there? I had a hard time with the texture - but just toasted them. I'll have to try the suggestions above...

Also, there is this gluten free blogger, the Gluten Free Goddess, (can I post her website here??) she makes a strata with the Van's waffles. (Strata - an egg and veggie and normally bread, cheese combo that you let sit overnight, them bake in the morning...and the Van's waffles hold up!)

      By Lindquist · Posted

      Hi im from northern europe are blood type 0+ have celiac with code K900 on the paper from doctor, have low vitamin D and b12 and folate, zinc, manganese and high copper it say in test. The best food i have eaten for now is LCHF, i tried paleo but i was missing the dairy. And i love the cream in sauces. LCHF is good choice there is no grains in the dishes. It's completly gluten free lifestyle i say. Because i feel good to eat it.

      Family education

      By trents · Posted

      @Rogol72, dermatitis herpetiformis occurs in a minority of celiac patients and if the OP hasn't developed it yet I doubt it will show up in the future. I think it unwise to use a scare tactic that probably won't materialize in the OP's experience. It has a good chance of backfiring and having the opposite effect.

      Hi @trents, You're correct. The OP mentioned fatigue and vitamin deficiencies as the only symptoms at the time of diagnosis. Since the family are not taking him/her seriously and find them to be too fussy, I suggested showing them pictures of dermatitis herpetiformis as one of the consequences of not taking the gluten-free diet seriously ... would make life easier for him/her, and the family might begin to take his/her strict gluten-free diet more seriously. A picture says a thousand words and the shock factor of dermatitis herpetiformis blisters might have the desired effect. The OP did say ... "How do you deal with people close to you who just refuse to understand? Are there any resources anyone could recommend for families that are short and easy to read?".  @sillyyak52, It might also help mentioning to your family that Coeliac Disease is genetic and runs in families. Any one of them could develop it in the future if they have the HLA DQ 2.5 gene. Here's a Mayo Clinic study calling for screening of family members of Coeliacs ... https://newsnetwork.mayoclinic.org/discussion/mayo-clinic-minute-celiac-disease-screening-for-family-members/ https://newsnetwork.mayoclinic.org/discussion/mayo-clinic-study-calls-for-screening-of-family-members-of-celiac-disease-patients/ I got glutened a few months ago because I missed the may contains statement on a tub of red pesto. It was my own fault but it happens.
