Marshmallows Safe?

Does anyone know if marshmallows (sp?) are gluten-free? I had a campfire mocha at Caribou yesterday and was sick, and was wondering if it was from the mini marhmallows they sprinkled on top (shouldn't be anything else with gluten in there).

It is possible that they dust the conveyer belts the marshmallows go over when processed/packaged etc. with wheat flour, so they don't stick. It's a common practice for all kinds of products. It's enough to make you sick, but not enough for them to be forced to put 'wheat' into the ingredients list.

I've seen a lot of marmallows with modified food starch in them. I would avoid them eating out unless you can see the ingredients. Sorry you felt yucky!

I think (last time I checked) that KRAFT marshmallows are okay, they say modified food starch but Kraft writes Wheat if it's got wheat and it doesn't say anything after it (or it might say corn, I don't remember.)

in any case Jet Puffed are gluten-free

      gluten-free and continued upper left side pain after drinking wine

      By PlanetJanet · Posted

      After looking at Google images, the spleen is on the upper left abdomen, too!  An organ, part of the lymphatic system for immune function.  A filter.  Wonder how this relates to gluten sensitivity?

      Hello, everyone, This upper left side pain is interesting to me.  I have this same pain almost all the time.  Started 2009 when I got diverticulitis for the first time.  Then had left ovarian cyst removed and a diagnosis of endometriosis all over inside.  Been attempting gluten-free since 2018.  It's not perfect, but still have that left sided pain.  Like up under the rib cage.  I believe the pancreas head is on that side, so I often wonder if I have a tumor or something there.  But it could also be an endometriosis adhesion in my belly.  I never got scraped.

      Canned tomato sauce, ricotta?

      By DMCeliac · Posted

      One of my biggest issues is when a brand chooses to label one item gluten free, but not another. Why is Hunt's diced tomatoes labeled gluten free, but not the paste or sauce? I would have assumed they were all gluten-free, but why label one and not the others? It makes me suspicious.

      Most of these items would be naturally gluten-free, with very little chance of cross contamination, thus they don't typically label them as gluten-free. If wheat is a potential allergen large companies disclose this in the ingredients as "Allergens: wheat."
