Hickory Farms

Like many people we received Hickory Farms baskets for Christmas. I nearly confused them with Hillshire Farms that clearly lists their gluten. After going to the Hickory Farms website and finding no information I called them. They have no gluten free list and no gluten labeling policy. <_< You have to give them the product name and they have look up each product individually. This takes a lot of time and the employee that I spoke with seemed annoyed to do so. After a half hour on the phone I determined that their beef stick is gluten free but the two cheeses that I asked about, the Smokey Bar and Chedd'r, were not gluten free. At that point I decided not to give my son any of their cheeses and most likely none of their products period. I just thought I'd share my experience, since this is such a common gift.

      Bloodwork Help for my Teen

      By Sarah Marie · Posted

      Is it worth it to remove gluten before they potentially do an endoscopy & biopsy? I thought I read it’s best to be eating gluten for 3 months prior to it. So hoping they have a cancellation and call us in sooner.

      Celiac Maybe a Possibility?

      By Aleda D · Posted

      Thank you for the warning. I get blood tests twice a year to check where I stand with the vitamins I regularly take, so I appreciate the extra reminder. I know some vitamins don’t build up but now I will watch the B6 for sure.

      High dosage of B12 gave me life.

      I think you would do well to take a high potency B-complex such that you get more balanced dosage across the spectrum of B vitamins. They work in concert.

      Around 5 years ago I visited Tokyo, and luckily had my sister in law with me who is from there, otherwise it would have been more difficult. The bottom line is that there are tons of naturally gluten-free food options there, but you need to be able to communicate your needs to restaurant staff. Here is a gluten-free restaurant card for American visitors in Tokyo. It includes a request for a gluten-free meal and mentions common gluten-containing ingredients to avoid, like soy sauce and miso. English: Thank you. Japanese:   You can also download the Google Translate app, and besides being able to help you speak with people there about this, it has a camera app that translates Japanese text to English in your camera, so you can use it when shopping in a supermarket.
