I was just diagnosed with celiac disease and I am a big time waffle lover. Made waffles with Bisquick and just tried the Namaste Waffle & Pancake mix and was not happy. Is there anything better out there that taste close to regular waffles? Please help, I am about to fold and just have a regular waffle. :( :( :( :( :(

My husband has been making waffles with Pamela's mix and eating them in front of me because I discovered I can't have the potato starch in her mix...He made them again yesterday so I got teed off and looked at the ingredients on the Pamela's packet and followed her recipe except for the flour. I have found a cake flour mix that will work for me (stir together equal parts brown rice flour, sorghum, tapioca starch) so this is what I did (and I am not the kind to iimprovise baking recipes, not even those with gluten in them):

1 cup of flour mix

1-1/2 tsp xanthan gum

1 tsp baking powder

1/4 tsp baking soda

pinch or so of salt

(these amounts except for the flour were all just guesses)

3/4 cup of water, plus added some buttermilk because it was too thick, but I think it worked better being thicker

2 eggs separated

2 Tbs oil

Mix egg yolks, water and oil together and stir into flour mix until there are no lumps

Beat egg whites and fold them in, and bake immediately in waffle iron.

I even made some blueberry sauce to go with them--haha, I showed him!!!

My mix was thicker than his and his waffles burned and looked funny whereas mine came out a perfect golden brown.

Hope you are soon enjoying waffles. Before I found out about the potato starch we used some Trader Joe's waffle mix which was quite good.

A lot of people rave about Van's gluten-free waffles. I haven't tried them, as I don't eat prepackaged stuff.

mushroom: Try 1 tsp xanthan per cup of flour. That will reduce the thickness, and should help make a fluffier waffle.

I just recently used Whole Foods 365 Gluten Free Pancake and Waffle mix to make Pancakes. They were very good. I would imagine if the pancakes are good, the waffles would also be good...

Several years ago I purchased Van's Waffles, and they were fantastic. I now have a serious problem with soy,and dairy, so I can no longer eat Van's. I really miss them. Until you can come up with a good "from scratch" recipe, Van's will get you over the hump.

I use this recipe:

Open Original Shared Link

I reduce the milk or sub to 1 1/2 cups. Good with or without: nuts, berries, mini chocolate chips.

You can use honey, agave nectar, maple syrup, etc. for the sweetener. I keep ripe bananas in the freezer...just thaw and mash. Keep a bag of cooked ones in the freezer...so easy!

They are amazing!

      For people with celiac disease and corn intolerance from it: Is salt still okay for most people?

      By trents · Posted

      Gluten-like cross reactions to other foods are from the proteins that make them up. Dextrose is the sugar component found in corn.

      I just found out a few days ago that some salt like table salt contains dextrose that’s derived from corn. I’ve been thinking about getting rid of using table salt and just using my own kosher or Himalayan salt, but tbh I’m reluctant to do it. I’ve cut out a lot of things and I don’t really want to cut out anything else that I’m not sure will effect me…in a super small amount that it might be added to salts to stabilize the iodine. I don’t want to be further alienated when I have to go to a restaurant with my friends. Also most of the items at my house that have salt in it canned food etc. are some of the few quick things I can eat- because I’m not the one paying for the food in my household and i can only ask for so much. I’m not in a place financially where I can get a lot of my specialized items- although my family tries their best to get items I Can actually stand. I get I can bring a my own salt with me at a restaurant and ask for no seasoning but it feels like a lot to me- cause I already check for cross contamination and ask if the food has like a high volume of corn in it like cornstarch etc. I’ve also heard most dextrose is not derived from the Zein (corn gluten) portion of it- so it might be safe- but idk if that’s true. I just wanna know if anyone actually responded to it negatively.

      I’m so confused…

      For my first couple of years after discovering my celiac disease I also had to avoid cow's milk/casein and eggs, as well as other things, but could tolerate duck eggs and sheep and goat's milk products. I'm not sure if you've tried those, but it could be worth testing them out.

      Hello, @Kwinkle, How are you doing?   Have you tried adding a Magnesium supplement?   The B Complex vitamins need magnesium to work properly, especially thiamine vitamin B 1.   Magnesium deficiency symptoms and Thiamine deficiency symptoms both include gas and bloating.  Thiamine deficiency symptoms also include loss of appetite and fatigue.   My gas and bloating resolved rather quickly when I took Benfotiamine (a form of thiamine shown to promote intestinal healing) and Magnesium Glycinate in addition to my B 50 Complex (all twice a day plus the following...).   I found Magnesium L-Threonate or Magnesium Taurate are better when taken with a form of thiamine called TTFD (Tetrahydrofurfuryl dusulfide) because all of these cross the blood brain barrier easily, which corrects the loss of appetite, fatigue and anxiety.    Like @Celiacandme said, keeping a food/mood/poo'd journal is a big help in finding problematic foods, and for making sure your diet is not carbohydrate heavy.  If you're eating a lot if processed gluten free facsimile foods, be aware they do not have vitamins and minerals added to them like their gluten containing counterparts.  For every 1000 kcal of carbohydrates, we need an extra 500 mg of thiamine to turn them into energy and not store them as fat.   Let us know how you're doing!

      Testing

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Yes, if you had symptoms when eating gluten ruling out celiac disease won't necessarily mean you'll be able to eat gluten again, although it might mean that you may be able to be less strict with your gluten-free diet.
