Hills Bros. Cappuccino Flavors

I have recently noticed in the store that the Hills Bros. Cappuccino flavors no longer have gluten free listed on the front of their packages. Anyone know if they still are safe(gluten free) to drink?

Its been awhile since I bought one and the one on my shelf at home says "gluten free" on the front.

After taking about a year off from drinking the mix I just started drinking it again last week. I noticed "gluten" symptoms....headache, stomach problems, moody....and was googling if it was gluten free and your question came up. I think they changed the formula and it is no longer gluenn free!

It may only be the French Vanilla that is gluten free now. I had double mocha and English toffee.

I just did the same exact thing that BGG did. I've loved this drink for years, but after not having it for a while, I got some on the weekend and was drinking it yesterday and today at work. Today I had *ahem* stomach issues after finishing one cup, and got increasingly more spacey/dizzy/headachy by the hour after that. I suspect that the maltodextrin listed in the ingredients is now wheat derived.

In the USA Maltodextrin is made from corn and it gluten-free.

From Wikipedia:

"Maltodextrin can be enzymatically derived from any starch. In the US, this starch is usually Open Original Shared Link; in Europe, it is common to use Open Original Shared Link. In the Open Original Shared Link, wheat-derived maltodextrin is exempt from labeling, as set out in Annex II of Open Original Shared Link No 1169/2011."

 

I have reacted to wheat derived maltodextrin before, and I've even seen 'Maltodextrin (wheat) on labels, even on things produced in the US.

Yes, maltodextrin can be derived from wheat, but in the US, that must be disclosed e.g. maltodextrin (wheat).  Check the actual product label.  Confirm with the manufacturer if this product is manufactured on a shared line with gluten containing items.  

Open Original Shared Link

That said, this stuff has all kinds of preservatives and additives.  You could be reacting to those.

      @pothosqueen, Welcome to the tribe! You'll want to get checked for nutritional deficiencies and start on supplementation of B vitamins, especially Thiamine Vitamin B 1. There's some scientific evidence that the fat pad that buffers the aorta which disappears in SMA is caused by deficiency in Thiamine. In Thiamine deficiency, the body...

      Celiac for dummies

      I was just diagnosed at 26 after accidental finding. Any simple tips for newbies? Things a non celiac would never think of? I already went through my prescriptions and identified some medications that have gluten. Is there a beginners guide? Celiac for dummies?

      @pothosqueen, Welcome to the tribe! You'll want to get checked for nutritional deficiencies and start on supplementation of B vitamins, especially Thiamine Vitamin B 1.   There's some scientific evidence that the fat pad that buffers the aorta which disappears in SMA is caused by deficiency in Thiamine.   In Thiamine deficiency, the body burns its stored fat as a source of fuel.  That fat pad between the aorta and digestive system gets used as fuel, too. Ask for an Erythrocyte Transketolace Activity test to look for thiamine deficiency.  Correction of thiamine deficiency can help restore that fat pad.   Best wishes for your recovery!

      Wow! You're pretty young to have a diagnosis of SMA syndrome. But youth also has its advantages when it comes to healing, without a doubt. You might be surprised to find out how your health improves and how much better you feel once you eliminate gluten from your diet. Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder that, when gluten is consumed, triggers an attack on the villous lining of the small bowel. This is the section of the intestines where all our nutrition is absorbed. It is made up of billions of tiny finger-like projections that create a tremendous surface area for absorbing nutrients. For the person with celiac disease, unchecked gluten consumption generates inflammation that wears down these fingers and, over time, greatly reduces the nutrient absorbing efficiency of the small bowel lining. This can generate a whole host of other nutrient deficiency related medical problems. We also now know that the autoimmune reaction to gluten is not necessarily limited to the lining of the small bowel such that celiac disease can damage other body systems and organs such as the liver and the joints and cause neurological problems.  It can take around two years for the villous lining to completely heal but most people start feeling better well before then. It's also important to realize that celiac disease can cause intolerance to some other foods whose protein structures are similar to gluten. Chief among them are dairy and oats but also eggs, corn and soy. Just keep that in mind.

      Would it be rude to ask your age?
