Wheat Starch - Soft Lollies

I really enjoy the Natural Confectionary Company soft lollies, but they tend to make me feel unwell. I down-loaded this information from their website. Should this small amount of gluten cause problems?

"Are your products suitable for people with a wheat intolerance?

In Australia, both glucose and starch are usually derived from wheat (although we have occasionally used starch derived from corn). Our products contain approximately .003% gluten. Coeliacs who are unsure if this is an unsuitable level for them should seek medical advice."

Thanks ruth

If you have any doubt, then it's best to avoid it. I'd rather not take any chances, myself, on something that "might" make me sick.

If you feel unwell after eating them, and you have confirmation that there is an amount of gluten, don't eat them. Your body is identifying gluten and having a reaction even if the company says it is .003%. That is the very scary thing about the codex system and gluten free label laws.

Double check the rest of the ingredients for a sensitivity to another ingredient.

      Does 101gl mean. I have celiac desease

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Marilyn1941! As Wheatwacked explained, we need more information. There are a number of blood antibody tests that can be run to detect celiac disease. Some are more meaningful than others in the sense of positive results being due to celiac disease or possibly due to something else. So, knowing exactly what test the score you gave is referring to would be helpful. In addition, the ranges and units of measure used by different labs differs from one lab to another. There is no industry standard for these. So, we would need to know the reference ranges for negative vs. positive for that test used by the lab who did the analysis. And was there only that one test ordered by the physician?

      Pretty desperate for some guidance

      When my son was weaned in 1976 he was diagnosed with Celiac Disease.  My mom said at the time. "you got what you gave." His doctor insisted on Nutramigen as the only hyperallergenic baby formula with full nutrition.  After 6 months he was weaned to gluten free diet.  It seems it still has that status. He has grown strong and well.

      Hi @Marilyn1941, Welcome to the forum. There is not enough info to go on.  What test name? What are the results and the laboratory's normal range they used?  Why were you tested? What kind of symptoms?  Age, sex and country would be helpful but not necessary.
