Well, then... a very good welcome to you. :)

drewskie, we are very creative. And you can have your waffles, but with a slight different twist.

Walmart sells Van's frozen wheat-free, gluten-free waffles, and they taste great with butter and real maple syrup (you can get those at Wlmart, too)!

the first few months (3-4), yes, you'll actively miss them. after that, you'll be nostalgic about them. but you can have waffles and there's no reason not to get yourself a waffle maker and start making them.

Hi Drewskie. I just realized that I'm in the teenagers only section, so I hope you forgive me. I have a 15 yo daughter and 12 yo son who are also gluten-free. It's hard at first, but you and your mom will get the hang of it. My other 2 kids (13 and 9) eat gluten-free at home and we have almost everything that we had before going gluten-free. We just have to make it now.

Trader Joe's and a lot of other supermarkets carry really good gluten-free waffles. Fiddle-Faddle suggested Vans - they are good and you can get them at lots of stores. Lifestream is another good brand - my kids like the buckwheat berry flavor. I'm sure your mom will learn how to make them gluten-free pretty soon. Hang in there!

Just make sure that the waffle maker and bread maker from your grampa has never been used. They need to be totally gluten free.

what mamma goose said - there are some hand-me-downs that celiacs really just can't use. :(

I haven't really missed gluten foods yet. I've gone all out and bought heaps of stuff I can have and lots of the gluten free alternatives of stuff. By surrounding myself with the OK stuff, I never have to search for something to eat and thus find something I want but can't have.

drewskie Newbie

yea the bread maker and the waffle maker havent been used my grandpa doesnt use them and hasnt used them so we r good :P

      You are most welcome, Marie.  Thank you for getting in touch, because this sort of post will be seen by other parents who find themselves in this position, I am sure there are many.   And as I say, in the long run, I am sure your daughter will be sorry for what she said.  I remember having a go at my dear Mum when I was in my twenties about something and then apologising, saying, "I don't know how you put up with me."  I can't remember her exact words but it was something along the lines of, "I used to say things like to my Mum.  Now it's my turn [to be on the receiving end]!"    😂  Although it isn't very nice to be on the receiving end, it is good your daughter feels safe to say these things to you. We look forward to hearing from you again in due course.

      Are You Confused About Your Celiac Disease Lab Results? Some people test negative but have a positive biopsy, others test positive but negative biopsy.  This is why it can take years and misdiagnosis of other diseases that Celiac Disease can mimic. The above link is a good read with real life examples. Something I find interesting is that in 1980 or so a new diagnosis was created, Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity, only 10 years after Norman Borlaug won the Nobel Peace Prize for creating our modern wheat and the Green Revolution.

      @Steve-n-Portland, there is a difference in the requirements to use the label "Gluten Free" and the label "Certified Gluten Free". "Gluten Free" is governed by FDA regulations and has a ceiling of 20 ppm. "Certified Gluten Free" is a labeling convention used by the GFCO, an independent international third party certifying group that uses 10 ppm as its standard.

      We have had numerous reports from forum participants experiencing gluten reactions from Trader Joe "gluten-free" products. It seems it's not a good place for the celiac/gluten sensitive community to shop.
    • Steve-n-Portland
      Also, a class action lawsuit was launched in 2024 against Trader Joe's re: their " gluten free" everything bagels. They tested at 269ppm. (Personally, I am not sure they will win. The FDA says that the *ingredients* have to be less than 20ppm for a company to label something "gluten-free."  In order to be certified as gluten-free by the GFCO, the *final product* needs to be less than 20ppm. That said, the lawsuit is arguing that most people read that label and assume the final product is safe for people with celiac. Thus, many people were made sick. And being sick can have costly consequences in regard to work or school, depending when one becomes ill.)
