Has anyone tried these in the past year or so. I've read old posts that say that they're okay, but nothing recent.

Anybody out there willing to be a guinea pig? Or already was one?

Oo- I have been wondering the same thing...

Bought 5 last week, looked at the big box holding the eggs so I wouldn't have to strain my eyes seeing the foil wrapping. Nothing at all about wheat.

Me and DS14 who are highly sensitive ate 2 each and DD16 ate one. Delish and no one was sick!! We were a little scared of the 1st bite, but it was so yummy...

and then to not get sick, as the commercial says, "Priceless".

I bought a couple last year. I noticed on the lable it had glucose syrup (wheat) on it. I did eat them and I did not experience a problem. I have not looked at any this year yet.

...That's because glucose syrup means "sugar syrup", literally. It's usually synonymous with corn syrup. Glucose and gluten are not the same thing--one's sugar, one's a protein; one's derived from corn or sugar, the other from wheat, rye, barley, etc.

Glucose syrup can be wheat derived. That is why the label says "glucose syrup 'wheat'". Due to FDA regs if anything is derived from wheat it has to be labeled as such and that is what this company is doing. Some of us may be able to tolerate it just fine. I am not one of them.

Yes, some very sensitive can react to glucose syrup derived from wheat, but generally, it's highly processed and safe for most people with Celiac.

Which I realized when I was a little more awake. It's been a long day and I didn't mean to come off as a jerk.

You didn't come off as a jerk at all. You are right that glucose is a sugar and it isn't common here in the US for it to be wheat derived. Or to see it labeled that way. I think it is more common in stuff from Europe but I could be wrong.

      Testing for celiac

      By Bebee · Posted

      I am new here, I have been diagnosed with Microscopic Colitis (Lymphatic) years ago and have been gluten-free, DF since, but I still can have occasional bouts of diarrhea (still trying to figure that out).  I also have MS, Hypothyroid, Arthritis, Reynaud's and my rosacea has been acting up lately.  What treatment is suggested to help with rosacea?  I would like to know too if there is a test for celiac if you have been gluten-free?   Thank you, Barb

      Newly gluten free… withdrawal?

      By K6315 · Posted

      Well, that's interesting. I am lactose intolerant and have been managing that for years. I'd be interested in seeing if that changes once I feel better from not eating gluten (one thing at a time for now, though). Helpful to hear about the avenin. I will do some digging and pose that to the dietitian. Grateful for your feedback.

      Nandos improper preparion celiac childrens food

      By kate g · Posted

      Recently my daughter ate in nandos harlow I rang in advance to speak about the celiac protocals and learned that childs portion chicken nandinos is cooked on the same grill as garlic bread even if they are celiac! Even if you clean it this is not good practise and will be making many children ill. I learnt adults butterfly chicken cooked on a grill purely for chicken.  This is fine and what we ordered however nandos need to take note of your practises for the safety of celiac children. my daughter has been ill from their nandinos chicken before and i emailed head office and they wouldnt accept responsibility

      High blood test numbers - with scales. Any advice?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I agree with @RMJ, you have multiple positive tests so celiac disease is likely.  This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease.
