Guys, I think the US is finally starting to catch onto the gluten thing... I saw a box of fla-vor-ice in the store today and wanted them (not usually something I could care less about!). But I didn't buy them, came home to do my research first. And right on the front page of their website, was a link to the company's gluten statement:

JEL SERT GLUTEN STATEMENT

The following Jel Sert products do not contain Wheat or Corn Gluten:

* Mondo Fruit Squeezers

* Fla-Vor-Ice Freezer Bars

* Fla-Vor-Ice Lite Freezer Bars

* Fla-Vor-Plus Freezer Bars

* Pop Ice Freezer Bars

* Otter Pops Freezer Bars

* Otter Pops Plus Freezer Bars

* Keebler Fudge Shoppe Freezer Bars

* Wyler’s Italian Ice Freezer Bars

* Wyler’s Light Sorbet Bars

* Royal Puddings and Gelatins

* Royal Flan

* My*T*Fine Vanilla Pudding

In other words, enjoy!!! I'm really anxious to try the Keebler Fudge Shoppe bars... they looked VERY good in the store today.....

But it says:

The following Jel Sert products do not contain Wheat or Corn Gluten:

Wheat or corn gluten, what about rye and barley gluten? It says nothing about them!

I just hung up with a representative from Jel Sert. They said their Pop Ice products MAY contain barley or rye. They said they are trying very hard to get their flavor suppliers to tell them if they contain rye and barley but because they are not federally required to do so they would not. What a load of crap!

      Hello,   I contacted the makers of Alpine Original Spiced Cider Drink Mix and they sent me this email.....   Subject: [EXTERNAL] Fw: Ref.

      Family education

      By trents · Posted

      @Rogol72, dermatitis herpetiformis occurs in a minority of celiac patients and if the OP hasn't developed it yet I doubt it will show up in the future. I think it unwise to use a scare tactic that probably won't materialize in the OP's experience. It has a good chance of backfiring and having the opposite effect.

      Hi @trents, You're correct. The OP mentioned fatigue and vitamin deficiencies as the only symptoms at the time of diagnosis. Since the family are not taking him/her seriously and find them to be too fussy, I suggested showing them pictures of dermatitis herpetiformis as one of the consequences of not taking the gluten-free diet seriously ... would make life easier for him/her, and the family might begin to take his/her strict gluten-free diet more seriously. A picture says a thousand words and the shock factor of dermatitis herpetiformis blisters might have the desired effect. The OP did say ... "How do you deal with people close to you who just refuse to understand? Are there any resources anyone could recommend for families that are short and easy to read?".  @sillyyak52, It might also help mentioning to your family that Coeliac Disease is genetic and runs in families. Any one of them could develop it in the future if they have the HLA DQ 2.5 gene. Here's a Mayo Clinic study calling for screening of family members of Coeliacs ... https://newsnetwork.mayoclinic.org/discussion/mayo-clinic-minute-celiac-disease-screening-for-family-members/ https://newsnetwork.mayoclinic.org/discussion/mayo-clinic-study-calls-for-screening-of-family-members-of-celiac-disease-patients/ I got glutened a few months ago because I missed the may contains statement on a tub of red pesto. It was my own fault but it happens.

      Cycle of dermatitis herpetiformis

      By Hopeful1950 · Posted

      Oh yes.  I would never recommend taking it for an extended period of time.  When 70% of my body was covered in blistering itchy sores, an amazing doctor prescribed it diagnostically because I was unwilling to do a gluten challenge after already going strictly gluten-free in desperation after 10 years of suffering and being poo pooed by dermatologist after dermatologist. The fact that it stopped the itch and mostly cleared the rash after about 2 months was diagnostic for him.  I stopped it and have remained strictly gluten-free with very few flares since that time (over 10 years ago).  So the fact that it cleared the rash was diagnostic for me.
