Candied Pecans?

I was accidentally served candied pecans at a restaurant that was being otherwise careful. Menu just said 'pecans'. Anyone know the chances that the glaze on he pecans had gluten? It's about an hour later and I haven't reacted, but I had inconsistent symptoms pre-diagnosis. Thanks.

I actually had this discussion with a chef who was sitting at the bar of a restaurant. He said they shouldn't as they are just sugar and sometimes cinnamon. The bar tender went and asked the chef of the restaurant and he said they were just sugar/ no gluten.

And I was at another restaurant and the same thing. They were safe.

Sometimes they have egg whites but they look like there is meringue on them.

You should be Ok, I'm thinking.

When I make them at home they're just sugar, cinnamon and a little egg white.  Could it be from some sort of cross contamination where someone touched gluten and then the pecans?

Thanks, everyone - was just wondering what the 'normal' way to make them was.  So far, no reaction, so I think I'm good.

      @Mari, did you read that second article that Scott linked? It is the most recently date one. "Researchers comparing rates of headaches, including migraines, among celiac patients and a healthy control group showed that celiac subjects experienced higher rates of headaches than control subjects, with the greatest rates of migraines found in celiac women.  Additionally, celiacs had higher rates of migraine than control subjects, especially in women. In fact, four out of five women with celiac disease suffered from migraines, and without aura nearly three-quarters of the time."

      As far as I know and I have made severalonline searches, celiac disease disease has not been recognized as a cause of migraines or any eye problems. What I wrote must have been confusing.

      Interesting, when I suffered for a few months with ectopics I noticed that carbohydrates would cause indigestion and bloating in my stomach, then that would lead to my heart skipping beats, and I could feel it in my throat, it was very unsettling.  My last serious bout of this was after eating a Muller Rice Pudding for breakfast.   I happened to be wearing a 48 hour halter at the time and cardiology picked it up, but they weren't worried about what they saw. There was some British doctor who'd made some videos on the Vagus nerve that I remember watching at the time which made sense of what I was experiencing, there did seem to be some sort of connection.

      I asked my cardiologist about stopping vitamins.  He said his tests account for all detectable vitamins from sources other than food.  I only need to stop them for a couple of days.  He has me keep records of meds and vitamins I've ingested over the past 10 days and prior and he does his calculations.
