Recommended Posts

Bethanylynn Rookie

just curious because my dad bought some tastee apples caramel apples plain and looked on the back and they looked safe to me, well maybe a hour or so after my tummy kinda felt bloated and felt just icky after eating that. Been feeling kinda bleh ever since Friday of last week after purchasing gluten free Cheerios and Monday purchasing gluten free Chex granola and felt really bloated but didn't really look bloated just felt bloated but on Thursday I looked bloated after eating the Chex granola. Felt a little bit better today, my dinner was gluten free and I made sure it wasn't. Only had brown sugar garlic steak cocoa powder so everything was gluten free. After having that I ate my Carmel Apple felt okay until an hour or so after and now I'm feeling bloated just feel weird and just not okay. The website says they are gluten free, but ppl are saying that they found wheat on the we site ingredients but I didn't find that. What do you guys think?

I don't have a label to read, so I can only say most times caramel apples (plain) don't have gluten.

I have just read an article on caramel apples being a risk for Listeria.  The apple juice released from being pierced with the stick can grow the bacteria under the layer of caramel. (even refrigerated caramel apples grew ~lesser amount of~ bacteria.  So caramel apples should be fresh to be safe.

My state is currently involved in a recall for caramel apples for Listeria and spinach for salmonella.

      Hi I've been told I need a MRI on my bowels , I was booked for a colonoscopy, but because of my sever back issues and trapped nerve it can't be done , the nurse told me I will have to have a manitol drink a hour before the scan , I'm just a bit worried has I have issues with sweeteners like even a little,  I get a weird throat and ears and I've read it is a similar substance , not sure if anyone has had one of these scans or could give me some advise on the drink prep thanks in advance 😄

      Hi all ! Can a celiac attack be so intense that it causes your entire body to work in reverse? Meaning really bad pain,  neuropathy and muscle,  jaw pain,  the stomach issues , Horrible anxiety and confusion??  I had a Tums and you would think I ate poison. My jaw and stomach did not like it . Not the norm for me. Things that are simple are just out of control. Anyone ever have this happen??  I'm trying to figure out what I ate or did to bring on a celiac like attack. I had an idea before but yesterday I didn't have any gluten unless it was in a medication ?! Any positive suggestions ??  Thank you

      The following two lists are very helpful for anyone who is gluten sensitive and needs to avoid gluten when shopping. It's very important to learn to read labels and understand sources of hidden gluten, and to know some general information about product labelling--for example in the USA if wheat is a possible allergen it must be declared on a product's ingredient label like this: Allergens: Wheat.

      Tammy, in the food industry, "gluten free" doesn't mean the same thing as "no gluten". As Scott explained, the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) allows food companies to use the "gluten-free" label as long as the product does not contain more than 20 ppm (parts per million) of gluten. This number is based on studies the FDA did years ago to determine the reaction threshold for those with celiac disease. And the 20 ppm figure works for the majority of celiacs. There are those who are more sensitive, however, who still react to that amount. There is another, stricter standard known as "Certified Gluten Free" which was developed by a third party organization known as GFCO which requires not more than 10 ppm of gluten. So, when you see "GFCO" or "Certified Gluten Free" labels on food items you know they are manufactured with a stricter standard concerning gluten content. Having said all that, even though you may read the disclaimer on a food item that says the spices may contain wheat, barley or rye (the gluten grains), you should be able to trust that the amount of gluten the spices may contain is so small it allows the total product to meet the requirements of gluten free or certified gluten free labeling. I hope this helps.
