Trader Joe's Gluten Free Coffee Cake Muffins

Hi! I just wanted to warn those with celiac that the Trader Joe's gluten free coffee cake muffins likely are cross-contaminated or somehow include gluten. After eating them for two days I realized that they were the reason I was so sick. I went online and saw that many others got sick too. They were so good as I ate them (moist and yummy), and I'm sad that I was glutened. Perhaps if you are gluten sensitive you will be ok, but I just wanted to share this warning.

Thanks for the warning. Have you tried to communicate this to Trader Joe's? I'm just curious how they handle these things. At the very least it seems like they should pull some samples and have them tested.

I just wanted to reply to this for visibility. I also had a reaction to these muffins today and I think this is a wheat intolerance vs gluten intolerance. The ingredient "dextrose" is the main culprit for me.

Dextrose is the sugar found in corn. It is used widely in the food industry.

Dextrose can be derived from either corn or wheat.

How interesting, especially in light of the fact that, recently, Trader Joe's gluten-free bagels were found to contain gluten by Moms Across America. I think Trader Joe's needs to re-evaluate its gluten-free products. They may be cross-contaminating their gluten-free items.

Maybe, but seldom is it derived commercially from wheat and even so, it would not contain gluten.  https://www.livestrong.com/article/274155-what-is-dextrose-in-food/

That's why I suggested that it would be a wheat intolerance vs a gluten intolerance. Not all Celiacs have issues with these muffins, so either it has be an intolerance to something else or cross-contamination as suggested by another user. There can also be other reasons that have not been discussed yet.

      Blood Test for Celiac wheat type matters?

      I'm not saying that some celiacs won't need it, but it should be done under a doctor's supervision because it can cause lots of problems in some people.

      Hello, just popped in my head to ask this question about medications and celiac? I have always had refurse reaction to meds since I can remember  of what little meds my body is able to tolerate. I was taking gabapentin 300mg for a week,  in past I believe 150? Any ways it amps me up not able to sleep, though very tired.However I did notice it helped with my bloating sibo belly.I hate that my body is that sensitive and medical doesn't seem to take seriously. Im STILL healing with my skin, eye, and now ms or meningioma ( will know in April  which)and dealing with this limbo nightmare. I did write my name, address ect on the reclamation but im not tech savvy and not sure if went through properly. I called my city representative in Stanislaus County and asked if theres a physical paper i can sign for proclamation for celiac and she had no clue about what I was saying, so I just said I'll go back on website.

      trents:  Why some can tolerate european bread but not american bread.     I take 600 mcg a day.  Right in the middle of the safe range.   Groups at Risk of Iodine Inadequacy Though though the NIH does not specifically list Celiac Disease in this group, they state: "Iodide is quickly and almost completely absorbed in the stomach and duodenum. Iodate is reduced in the gastrointestinal tract and absorbed as iodide [2,5]."  That would certainly include malabsorption of Iodine due to Celiac Disease with resultant Iodine Deficiency. Vegans and people who eat few or no dairy products, seafood, and eggs People who do not use iodized salt Pregnant women People with marginal iodine status who eat foods containing goitrogens Deficiencies of iron and/or vitamin A may also be goitrogenic [51] https://ods.od.nih.gov/factsheets/Iodine-HealthProfessiona   1
