Fruit Stripe Gum

i called farley's & sathers, the makers of fruit stripe gum, to check on their gluten-free status since the ingredients include natural and artificial flavors. the lady read through the ingredients and said that it didn't contain wheat because there is no allergen alert of any of the big 8. this was my first call to a company so i didn't think to inquire further. i took it to mean that their company labels anything with the big 8 on it, so if there's no warning, it's not in there. should i call back and grill her further? what would you do? here's what their website says:

"Allergen/Gluten List Policy

For product specific information regarding the Big 8 allergens and cross-contamination associated with these allergens, please contact Farleys & Sathers Candy Company, Inc. Consumer Relations at 1-888-247-9855 or complete our Feedback form to receive information. Due to changes that may occur in the manufacturing and packaging environments, Farley's & Sathers Candy Company, Inc. does not provide allergen or gluten free lists."

I don't know about that specific product as I don't chew gum but I usually ask if there is any wheat, rye or barley in the product or it's natural flavors when I call about a product. Wheat is in the 8 allergen listing but barley, oats and rye are not.

so i sent another email to clarify: "i have an allergy question about your baby bottle pop 2D mix. does it, or the 'natural and artificial flavors' within it, contain any wheat, barley, rye, or oat ingredients? my daughter has celiac's disease and cannot tolerate any of those."

the response i got was: "All of our products are gluten free."

would you trust a response like that?

      Second child with Celia

      By lizzie42 · Posted

      After my 3 year old daughter's diagnosis, we all got tested. My 5 year old son also came back positive with number 12x the upper limit.  We will confirm with another tTG and the other 2 tests in the panel.  He has zero symptoms that I have noticed. Maybe occasionally vomiting. He does have asthma. He's kind of an a**hole sometimes but also he's 5. He has SO much energy. Like miles and miles of biking, running, gymnastics. Never stops. Eats great, normal growth. It was comparing my daughter to him that made me push to figure out what was wrong with her!  Is it possible for a tTG test to just be totally wrong?

      European travel with Celiac Disease

      By CJF · Posted

      I'm heading to the UK for a vacation the end of this month on a tour with Road Scholar. I haven't been out of the US since my diagnosis so I'm a little concerned about exposure to gluten during my travels. Most of our meals are provided by the tour. Either the hotels we are staying at, or places we will visit. Road Scholar is aware of my dietary needs as well. Any helpful hints about navigating the restaurants in England is greatly appreciated. Also are there any medications out there to help mitigate the effects of exposure to gluten? Thanks in advance.
