Help
These appear to be ok but maybe I am missing somthing or maybe somthing else in them is making us sick. Both my daughter and I have experienced tummy aches and cramps when eating these on a few occasions over the past couple of months. They are a kraft product so I thought it would be obviously stated in the ingrediants list if they contained gluten. But now I am not so sure. Does anyone know if the are or are not gluten-free? If they are not does anyone know of a mainstream tasty brand that are ok to eat.....my daughter eats quite a few hotdogs.

Hi 
You're right, in that Kraft will disclose any gluten in the ingredient list. That said, a couple of things come to mind.
There could be a spice, or something else that they're using that you are reacting to. A lot of people can eat Oscar Mayer with no ill effects (I am one) but that dosen't mean that everyone can. Have you had a problem with Kraft products or Oscar Mayer before?
Sometimes we can react to seemingly "safe" products. For example, Hormel bacon and hams are gluten-free. For some reason, I get an upset stomach and gas when I eat them. I don't really know why, I just know that this happens whenever I've tried them. So, I stick to Oscar Mayer.
It can take some time and a little (or a lot) of experimenting until we find the best products for our individual needs.

Some meats give me gas and cramps just plain. Not gluten related.
As for hotdogs: Hebrew National is THE BEST. They are all beef and don't have a lot of chemicals and many people on this forum who are very sensitive to "whatever" have said they do fine with Hebrew National.
I would try them! They taste great too.
