I ate one the other day and boy oh boy did I get ill - can anyone confirm that these do in fact have gluten or did I get it elsewhere? I have yet to hear back from the manufacturer, Jelsert.

Thanks

I thought these were ok but I looked again after reading your post and it says:

The following Jel Sert products do not contain Wheat or Corn Gluten:

Mondo Fruit Squeezers
Fla-Vor-Ice Freezer Bars
Fla-Vor-Ice Lite Freezer Bars
Fla-Vor-Plus Freezer Bars
Pop Ice Freezer Bars
Otter Pops Freezer Bars
Otter Pops Plus Freezer Bars
Keebler Fudge Shoppe Freezer Bars
Wyler’s Italian Ice Freezer Bars
Wyler’s Light Sorbet Bars
Royal Puddings and Gelatins
Royal Flan
My*T*Fine Vanilla Pudding
My*T*Fine Lemon Pudding
My*T*Fine Pumpkin Pudding
My*T*Fine Tiramisu Pudding
Wyler’s Light Sugar-Free Powdered Soft Drinks
Wyler’s Powdered Soft Drinks
Flavor Aid Powdered Soft Drinks
Hawaiian Punch Drink Mixes

I didn't notice before, but it says do not contain wheat or corn gluten. So maybe it has something else, like barley?

I didn't eat these but my kids have and have not noticed any symptoms.

Let us know what your hear.

Thank you - may I ask where you found that info? I poured over their website and came up with nothing! Once I hear a response I will let you know...I can't think of what else it may have been.
Thanks again!

As far as I know they are gluten-free, and I have not heard of anyone reacting to them. They are bascily sugar, water and dyes... not much to mess up one would think.

I couldn't find it when I just looked at their site but I googled "fla vor ice gluten" and that page on their website came up.

We eat the otter pops all the time and I have not had a problem.

I find it interesting however that they say do not contain "wheat" and there is no reference to gluten.
I did have another go at it and my belly didn't hurt.
It must have been something else!

A product like this is not going to have barley, IMO.
