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.

      Immediate Reaction

      By Beverley Ann Johnson · Posted

      HI, yes I get this reaction if I eat gluten by mistake or if I eat high fodmap foods as well.  I become nauseous, vomit then it hits the muscles, my legs sometimes give out.  It takes a while to feel "normal" again.

      IGA and TTG IGA Levels

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      The first step would be to re-examine your diet to see if hidden gluten is the cause. Eating out would be the number one source of contamination, even if restaurants offer gluten-free menus and options.

      Strictness with products

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      You may want to see al allergist and run a standard food allergy panel to see if wheat allergy could contribute to this, but again, the most likely culprit if you have celiac disease would be gluten contamination.

      Any specific tests you would recommend to check for other allergens or issues ?
