just curious because my dad bought some tastee apples caramel apples plain and looked on the back and they looked safe to me, well maybe a hour or so after my tummy kinda felt bloated and felt just icky after eating that. Been feeling kinda bleh ever since Friday of last week after purchasing gluten free Cheerios and Monday purchasing gluten free Chex granola and felt really bloated but didn't really look bloated just felt bloated but on Thursday I looked bloated after eating the Chex granola. Felt a little bit better today, my dinner was gluten free and I made sure it wasn't. Only had brown sugar garlic steak cocoa powder so everything was gluten free. After having that I ate my Carmel Apple felt okay until an hour or so after and now I'm feeling bloated just feel weird and just not okay. The website says they are gluten free, but ppl are saying that they found wheat on the we site ingredients but I didn't find that. What do you guys think?

I don't have a label to read, so I can only say most times caramel apples (plain) don't have gluten.

I have just read an article on caramel apples being a risk for Listeria.  The apple juice released from being pierced with the stick can grow the bacteria under the layer of caramel. (even refrigerated caramel apples grew ~lesser amount of~ bacteria.  So caramel apples should be fresh to be safe.

My state is currently involved in a recall for caramel apples for Listeria and spinach for salmonella.

      dermatitis herpetiformis outbreaks while on strict gluten-free diet

      While not all Celiac react to Zein, the protein in corn, some Celiac do react to maize similarly as they react to gluten.  And I'm one of them.     Maize Prolamins Could Induce a Gluten-Like Cellular Immune Response in Some Celiac Disease Patients https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC3820067/

      Not sure if this is Celiac or just a gluten-free intolerance

      By trents · Posted

      @Brook G, would you explain what you mean when you say, "I'm assuming that I'm probably extremely gluten intolerant because QUINOA gives me a gluten reaction." Quinoa is naturally gluten free. However, it is possible to have been cross contaminated with gluten-containing grains and the seed coat lectins can make some people (like me) quite ill if it is unwashed quinoa.

      Years ago when I told my GI specialist that I'd like to be tested for Celiac he told me that being I had been gluten-free for over a year, I would test negative.  In order to get an accurate reading I would have to eat a full gluten diet for 5 weeks.  I agreed to do it and on the way home I stopped at the grocery store and stocked up on my favorite breads, deserts, and every other gluten product that I love and hadn't eaten for over a year. Five days later I was in agony!  I was bloated, I stopped going poo, I could barely move my joints and I felt like my hands had been crushed in a car door.  I was bent over and couldn't stand straight, and I moaned constantly.  I had a very difficult time sleeping because of the pain. I lost nearly 20lbs that I didn't need to loose, and I had to go on a liquid diet to reset my digestive track.  I was sick for weeks. Because of this experience, I can't recommend that anyone put themself through the change of eating a gluten free to eating a full gluten diet.  For me, it wasn't worth getting an official diagnoses.  I'm assuming that I'm probably extremely gluten intolerant because QUINOA gives me a gluten reaction. Most of us have similar symptoms, but they do vary.  I'm not qualified to diagnose your daughter, but some of her symptoms fit the diagnoses.  She may be getting gluten from somewhere and not realize it.  I do recommend a good GI specialist and testing other than the blood test which she would have to eat gluten for.

      I never eat oats, haven't for years because of the possible cross contamination. I know the difference in my.body's reaction to the big 3 vs corn or rice. Vomiting was always  an issue if I wasn't careful.with wheat, rye or barley but rhe only issue I had with corn was the dermatitis herpetiformis.  I'm not a dermatologist but I know how certain foods affect me and I just hope my story can offer others an alternative hope to try that isn't dangerous to their health. As for me... I'm grain free LOL and loving the freedom from dermatitis herpetiformis.
