Oh my. I found wheat free waffles at my local grocery store over the weekend. Having Celiac means that I haven’t had a waffle in over a year. I have found wheat free baking mixes, but the finished product kind of has a "corn meal’ flavor and I don’t find it too tempting. But these waffles were almost authentic. I bought two boxes with the innocent beleif that I could treat myself in the morning on leg days only. After the first bite it was over with. The contents of both boxes were consumed by myself over the corse of the two day weekend. I am bloated to the tune of 5 extra pounds and feeling heavy with guilt. Looks like I need to just stay completely waffle free, and do an extra 30 minutes cardio today and tomorrow.

Best wishes for health and happiness to all!

Since I have found I have celiac disease (auto-immune reactions to wheat) I have found myself more sensitive to other things in my diet. First and foremost milk even lactose free milk products. I have recently started on Sci-Fit digestive enzymes plus and Sci-Fit Whey Isolate and have had very little bloating. Suprisingly though, anything with sucrolose (splenda) is giving quite a bit of abdominal swelling. I have been researching sucrolose on the internet and am finding out some disturbing things. I have replaced Splenda with Stevia and am staying completely away from diet drinks that have aspartame or Splenda in them.

I have found out in the past year that I have Celiac. My immune system reacts to anything that contains wheat. A side effect of my Celiac is reactions to milk products as well. Anyone else bodybuilding with Celiac?
