Are oats gluten free safe? We don’t use them in our waffles but they can be safe depending on the individual - read below if they can work for you . . This is a question asked all the time so let’s jump in. .... . If oats are labelled with Gluten Free certified then they can be safe for those with gluten intolerance because this means the manufacturer has eliminated cross contamination with gluten products. . . However even if oats are labelled Gluten Free certified - those with celiacs disease(and some gluten intolerant individuals who have high inflammation) may still react negatively to them. . . Why? Because the protein found in oats is VERY similar to the protein found in gluten. Your body can recognize this protein as the same invader and ignite the immune response which damages your small intestine lining and cause the same inflammatory reactions. . . If you have tried Gluten Free certified oats and they don’t trigger a negative reaction then great - toast them up and throw them on a waffle for a crunchy topper! . . On the other hand if you react negatively then your body isn’t ready or able to digest them so don’t worry there are plenty of alternative to oats - have you tried quinoa flakes ? . . #glutenfreeoats #glutenfreekelowna #kelowna #glutenfreebrunch #truetastecafe #glutenfreewaffles See more

What were you craving for breakfast this morning? . Nailing down what kind of breakfast works best has always been a challenge for me. . Something hearty that won’t make me feel heavy/bloated but will keep me full and satisfied for a jam packed morning.... . OR . Something light that wont let my energy crash an hour later but will wake me up and pack in heaps of nutrients when my body is most relaxed and ready to absorb them. . . To be honest - it changes everyday. It takes a few mindful minutes some mornings to just tune in. Two steps I use to test out of if my body wants a food: . 1. Pick up the food and hold it to my stomach . 2. If my body pulls towards the food it is a yes. If my body repels away from the food it is a no thank you for this meal. . Other mornings I wake up with specific cravings as just go for it. Once I started listening to what my body was telling me it became A LOT easier. . . This morning - it was pesto, eggs, avocado and pea shoots on Buttery Grain Free waffles. . . #glutenfreewaffles #intuitiveeating #glutenfreebreakfast #truetastecafe #kelowna See more
