I trust them in that if they put it on the gluten-free list -- which they did -- that in fact means the product is not meant to have gluten and has no known gluten. Could there be cross contamination? Can't tell you. That's a chance we often take when we eat something processed. It's a fact of life.

As for the chips, I'm not certain whether you mean potato chips from a bag like in the U.S. or something else. With chips from a a bag there's often the chance of cross contamination. If it's a chip cooked locally in oil, was the oil also used for a gluten containing product?

thanks for the reply richard, everything I ate yesterday was gluten free and stuff I had for months without problems, except for the chocolate from now on only dairy milk original is the only chocolate or cadbury thing il touch

On their page with the 'no gluten source' 'trace gluten' and 'has gluten' lists I found the following which makes me wonder if they know what gluten is. How could a confection called 'barley sugar' be listed under the 'no gluten source'? I think I shall pass on Cadbury chocolates.

According to what I read, TRUE barley sugar is made with extract of barley, which indicates to me it probably doesn't carry over the poisonous effects. In addition, some manufacturers make something they call barley sugar or barley sugar candy without actually using barley. IOW, it's quite possible that Cadbury's barley sugar is indeed gluten-free.

      Hello,   I contacted the makers of Alpine Original Spiced Cider Drink Mix and they sent me this email.....   Subject: [EXTERNAL] Fw: Ref. ID:1335211 Alpine Original Spiced Cider Drink Mix.               On Friday, December 6, 2024, 1:04 PM, Consumer <baking@continentalmills.com> wrote: December 06, 2024   Dear Janie, Thank you for taking the time to contact us regarding our Alpine Original Spiced Cider Drink Mix. We appreciate your interest and are happy to provide you with additional information. This product does not contain gluten. However, it is not manufactured in a gluten free facility. If I can be of further help, please contact me at 1 (800) 457-7744, weekdays 7:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. (PT), or visit www.alpinecider.com and select "Contact Us." Sincerely, Kristin Kristin Consumer Relations Specialist Ref # 1335211   I hope this helps everyone.  I am currently looking for a spiced hot apple cider drink and have yet to find one that is not made in a plant that manufactures other gluten products.  It's so frustrating.

      @Rogol72, dermatitis herpetiformis occurs in a minority of celiac patients and if the OP hasn't developed it yet I doubt it will show up in the future. I think it unwise to use a scare tactic that probably won't materialize in the OP's experience. It has a good chance of backfiring and having the opposite effect.

      Hi @trents, You're correct. The OP mentioned fatigue and vitamin deficiencies as the only symptoms at the time of diagnosis. Since the family are not taking him/her seriously and find them to be too fussy, I suggested showing them pictures of dermatitis herpetiformis as one of the consequences of not taking the gluten-free diet seriously ... would make life easier for him/her, and the family might begin to take his/her strict gluten-free diet more seriously. A picture says a thousand words and the shock factor of dermatitis herpetiformis blisters might have the desired effect. The OP did say ... "How do you deal with people close to you who just refuse to understand? Are there any resources anyone could recommend for families that are short and easy to read?".  @sillyyak52, It might also help mentioning to your family that Coeliac Disease is genetic and runs in families. Any one of them could develop it in the future if they have the HLA DQ 2.5 gene. Here's a Mayo Clinic study calling for screening of family members of Coeliacs ... https://newsnetwork.mayoclinic.org/discussion/mayo-clinic-minute-celiac-disease-screening-for-family-members/ https://newsnetwork.mayoclinic.org/discussion/mayo-clinic-study-calls-for-screening-of-family-members-of-celiac-disease-patients/ I got glutened a few months ago because I missed the may contains statement on a tub of red pesto. It was my own fault but it happens.
