    Vegemite Goes Gluten-Free!

    Reviewed and edited by a celiac disease expert.

    The makers of Vegemite promise that Gluten-Free Vegemite will have the same great taste Vegemite fans crave.

    If you like Vegemite, you’re likely Australian, or some sort of culinary oddball. Until now, you very likely did not have celiac disease. That’s because Vegemite was simply not gluten-free. Those days are over. In what is sure to be great news for Australians with celiac disease, and culinary oddballs everywhere, that only-in-Australia favorite is finally going gluten-free, and due on store shelves in a flash.

    A tweet from the company reads:
    “Happy little Vegemites rejoice! Australia’s favourite spread is now available in Gluten Free! ? The same great taste you love, now gluten free, FODMAP friendly and @CoeliacAust approved. ✅ Coming soon to a store near you! #TastesLikeAustralia #Vegemite #GlutenFreeVegemite”

    Celiac.com Sponsor (A12):
     The company confirmed that the product is the result of two years of product development. Nearly one in four Australians currently avoids gluten in their diets, so the company behind the Australia’s culinary delight said it felt an obligation to develop the gluten-free version afters thousands of requests from fans.

    The company promises Gluten-Free Vegemite will have the same great taste Vegemite fans crave. Go ahead, do your victory dance.

    I am Australian and have been eating other similar brands of veggie spread for at least the last 15 years. During the 13 years I lived in Canada, I stocked up on visits to OZ. So no problem. Not sure what all the fuss is about - Kraft (and the previous producers) could have tried harder sooner.  It being 33 years since I have eaten the 'real' stuff, I probably wouldn't have a clue if it tastes the same as the real spread.

    I won't be buying it. I will continue to support the company that did it way ahead of Kraft! Being cynical, I think the push, like a lot of other companies, was the number of people deciding to give up gluten for 'health reasons'. Smaller establishment did try harder sooner and made life so much better for folk like me, diagnosed a long time ago.

    Vegemite Postscript. The ad shows a very thick layer of the black goo - nobody or very few would eat it like that! A thin scrape is all that is needed. I have no idea what Kraft was thinking using a photo like that.

    Oh how wrong you are... it's not thick enough!

    Lucky Charms is Now Gluten-free!
    Celiac.com 10/10/2016 - Good news for anyone on a gluten-free diet who misses their beloved Lucky Charms breakfast cereal.
    Lucky Charms joins a number of General Mills' other brands with gluten-free versions, including Chex and Cheerios. In this case, the company turned an old brand into a gluten-free product.
    Like Cheerios, Lucky Charms are made from oats, which are gluten-free, except that most major commercial oat supplies have minor, but problematic, amounts of other grains.
    To solve that, General Mills has created a process that sorts "out the small amount of wheat, rye and barley in our supply of whole oats that are inadvertently introduced at the farms where the oats are grown, or during transportation of the whole oats to our mill," according to the company.

      The ulcers are prepyloric ulcers. Not sure if that makes any difference.

      Duodenal ulcers are not uncommon either and often result from H.Pylori infections. https://www.healthdirect.gov.au/duodenal-ulcer

      Daughter waiting for appointment

      I had what was termed "lesions," and normally ulcers are in the stomach, rather than the small intestines. I'm not sure why they would want you to have her continue to eat gluten, since she had a positive blood test, but as her doctor said, if she is uncomfortable and having symptoms why not have her go gluten-free at this point? If her symptoms improve,...
