All Butterfingers Gluten Free?

Ok, I have a question. Are all Butterfingers gluten free? I was under the impression that they were, but my body begs to disagree. In the past four days I've had a few a couple times, the little bite size ones, and I'm surely not feeling the way I should. I know it can't be anything else, not just because I'm a spaz about checking the ingredients. But, I also have a very strict diet. All fruits and vegetables pretty much. So, if anyone could provide me with some insight, it would be much appreciated.

Yes, I've done that search myself, I was wondering if anyone else experienced anything from them. It's a crazy thought, but I believe everyone reacts differently. Thank you for your insight, and time.

There are times when the small varieties of a particular candy bar are not safe when the larger ones are. We see this around holiday times when special versions of them come out. I don't know if they use different plants for making them or what it is but I would stick with the larger varieties that you know for sure are safe.

Ok, thank you very much! I knew I wasn't completely crazy. Advice noted and will be followed strictly.

If the small varieties contain wheat, they will list that in the ingredients, just like their big siblings. You just may have to look on the bag. There may not be enough room on the bite size products for the ingredient label. :)

since becoming celiacs and cutting out gluten, my body is extremely sensitive to dairy and soy as well (soy is in sooooo many things). It could be your body is reacting to that. However, even the same candies but different sizes can be a problem. You need to check each one.

      Anyone else with very high HDL?

      I have taken thiamine on and off (just not at this exact moment), and I’m not sure it's made any difference. Yes, I almost always “fast” (12 hours NPO) for blood tests, as do a great many other Americans, so I tend to think that’s not it. All I can say is that the mystery continues. I could do some speculating here…well, heck, let me go ahead and specu...

      Anyone else with very high HDL?

      Well, I have the opposite problem. My LDL has been moderately high for years. I eat healthy and exercise regularly but can't seem to move that meter. I used to be on a statin (and my doctors want me to go back on one) and it brought both HDL and LDL down but the ratios never changed. I think a lot of that cholesterol stuff is just baked into the genes.

      Celiac Disease and Mild Chronic Gastritis

      Welcome to the forum, @Tyoung! I would assume for the time being that the mild gastritis and the celiac disease are connected and that once you get a good handle on gluten free eating and experience significant healing in the lining of your duodenum, you will also see improvement in the gastritis as well. Gastritis is more often than not an accompanying...

      Celiac Disease and Mild Chronic Gastritis

      Hello! I was recently diagnosed with celiacs and mild chronic gastritis was noted on my EGD as well. My GI did not even bring up the gastritis and when I asked she brushed it off. I really want to heal my gut completely not just from celiacs but also the gastritis. Did anyone else have this at diagnosis? Were you able to treat it? Was it associated with celiacs...

      Anyone else with very high HDL?

      By plumbago · Posted

      I have taken thiamine on and off (just not at this exact moment), and I’m not sure it's made any difference. Yes, I almost always “fast” (12 hours NPO) for blood tests, as do a great many other Americans, so I tend to think that’s not it. All I can say is that the mystery continues. I could do some speculating here…well, heck, let me go ahead and speculate now: The lab ranges we all see on our reports are more or less the averages of Americans who have had those blood tests. Now, it’s up to you and me whether or not to think of the average American as healthy. I can make arguments both ways, more often than not, on the negative. My point here is that maybe the current range of HDL is somewhat skewed (ie, low), and maybe just maybe my super high (plus 100s) HDL results are not something to worry about; the range just needs updating. Why do I say this? Because pre-celiac disease diagnosis, my HDL values were in the normal range, but post celiac disease diagnosis, my HDL levels are way above average. See where I’m going? My trusty guidebook on celiac disease, Recognizing Celiac Disease by Cleo Libonati, RN, BSN, says that HDL increases after being on the gluten free diet. Or can increase, I guess. Then again, it could be something else. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ In thinking of going to a cardiologist, I sort of fear that he/she will be dismissive of a link to celiac disease, treated celiac disease, and would not therefore be considering all possibilities. @trents I'm sorry you've been diligently working on your numbers to no effect. That must be frustrating. LDL is a world that is far better understood than HDL, so for you there's maybe less "mystery." Familial hypercholesterolemia is for sure something that can be tested. Outside of that, you're right, genetics can determine a general pattern.

      Celiac Disease and Mild Chronic Gastritis

      Welcome to the forum, @Tyoung!

Gastritis is more often than not an accompanying finding that is commented on in the post scope/biopsy notes when people are positive for celiac disease.
