Beware Of....

Ok, so my mom comes home with these cool lemon burst organic food bars and they said gluten free and she said to try it. So I looked and it said gluten free so I took a bite. Ok, so I decided hey this is good let's see whats in it....it said GLUTEN FREE OAT FIBER!!! Ok, they should not be clearly labeling it gluten free with that in my opinion. I wonder where they got the oats and if it was the "contaminated" or "pure" ones...it doesn't really matter because I did start feeling bad...so all of you beware about this. They will be hearing from me very soon

ALWAYS check the ingredients before eating it...even if it says gluten free.

Wow Kaiti--thanks for the heads up! How do they get away with putting gluten free on the label and using oats? Can't wait to hear what they have to say. Feel better :)

Yikes Kaiti, thanks for the heads up, although I think I had run into a problem with that company and their labeling before (they had labeled something gluten free that had WHEAT STARCH in the ingredients) When I called them they said that was the old formula but the labeling hadn't been perfected yet. I told them I don't trust them and never will.

Thanks for the heads up. It is stupid and unfair when companies do that - yes, individuals need to take responsibility for what goes into their bodies, but it is so easy to slip up and not read, esp. when they so obviously labeled it gluten-free. Not fair, esp. considering what we have to go through to avoid eating gluten ..... For our sakes, I hope you aren't too nice to them about it :ph34r: Shhh....I didn't really type that ;)

Anyway, hope you feel better soon.

What was the brand name of those bars? I hope that you didn't get too sick from them and are feeling better now :( I'm very dissapointed in the companies that stamp "gluten free" on their products when they really do have gluten in them. I have also been glutened by a product with gluten free on the label.

      Can gallbladder issues cause symptoms of celiac disease?

      I can't edit my posts, but I forgot to note as well: I also had low iron and vitamin d according to my blood tests, despite already taking supplements for each

      Gluten Ataxia and Malabsorption

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Hi @Soleihey, it looks like you are making great progress.  This study indicates that a majority of celiacs don't recover until 5 years after diagnosis and starting a gluten-free diet: Mucosal recovery and mortality in adults with celiac disease after treatment with a gluten-free diet However, it's also possible that what the study really shows is the difficulty in maintaining a 100% gluten-free diet. I suspect that if you looked closely at the diets of those who did not recover within 2 years might be that their diets were not 100% gluten-free. Perhaps they ate out more often, or didn't understand all of the hidden ingredients where gluten can hide. Either way, it shows how difficult recovery from celiac disease can be for most people. According to this study:

      Can gallbladder issues cause symptoms of celiac disease?

      By robingfellow · Posted

      I've had symptoms of celiac disease since May 2022 (joint pain, severe migraines, digestive troubles, tachycardia, and hypothyroidism, fatigue) and couldn't figure out what was wrong, especially because I had no access to a doctor. In August of last year I tried a gluten free diet out of desperation and found all my symptoms clearing up! Especially the more of my diet I realized contained gluten and eliminated from my diet. I've even been able to maintain full-But just a couple weeks ago I had to have my gallbladder removed in am emergency surgery, and afterwards the surgeon suggested that a lot of my issues could have been caused by my gallbladder not working properly, but I haven't heard anything about that before. Any ideas? I don't want to try to reintroduce gluten without being certain it won't bring back my issues. It's already troubling enough to know I might have to reintroduce it to my diet just to be tested.

      Celebrity Luncheon Loaf Gluten Free

      By robingfellow · Posted

      I can also report from personally trying it that while not tasting quite as good as Spam, it is still very good especially compared to other Luncheon Loaf options that may not be gluten free
