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.

      CT with contrast.

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      They may want to also eliminate other possible causes for your symptoms/issues and are doing additional tests.  Here is info about blood tests for celiac disease--if positive an endoscopy where biopsies of your intestinal villi are taken to confirm is the typical follow up.

      New labs are now very elevated

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      In the Europe the new protocol for making a celiac disease diagnosis in children is if their tTg-IgA (tissue transglutaminase IgA) levels are 10 times or above the positive level for celiac disease--and you are above that level. According to the latest research, if the blood test results are at certain high levels that range between 5-10 times the reference range for a positive celiac disease diagnosis, it may not be necessary to confirm the results using an endoscopy/biopsy: Blood Test Alone Can Diagnose Celiac Disease in Most Children and Adults TGA-IgA at or Above Five Times Normal Limit in Kids Indicates Celiac Disease in Nearly All Cases No More Biopsies to Diagnose Celiac Disease in Children! May I ask why you've had so many past tTg-IgA tests done, and many of them seem to have been done 3 times during short time intervals?

      Chances of being coeliac

      @JettaGirl, "Coeliac" is the British spelling of "celiac". Same disease.

      This may sound ridiculous but is this supposed to say Celiacs? I looked up Coeliacs because you never know, there’s a lot of diseases related to a disease that they come up with similar names for. It’s probably meant to say Celiacs but I just wanted to confirm.

      I was told it was to see how much damage has been caused. But just told CT with contrast not any other name for it.
