Are the new crispy butterfinges gluten-free? What about the Hershey peanut bars (mr. something)? I need help! Thanks

Both companies that make those products say they will clearly list any gluten. All you have to do is read the ingredients.

Richard - you seem to be an expert regarding labels and I went over the delphi list maybe three times so far trying to learn what's safe and most importantly which companies list what allergens on their labels. Armor has a new turkey sausage that seemed clear cut on the label to be safe so I bought it, knowing I'd need to call them anyway because I'm still learning. Well I could only get a computer prompt program on their 800 #. For allergens they said they will list wheat and all the other offenders. Obviously they did not mention rye or barley. But Armour is owned by Con-Agra and if I understand correctly, they will not hide gluten in the words natural flavorings correct?

I'm not sure I'm an expert.

The signals from Conagra have been confused. There's no question that they at least list wheat, but different people have gotten different answers as to gluten. The last post I saw on this the company had said they do now list all gluten, but I'm not the one who called them and got that answer. In reality, rye is never hidden and barley only very rarely.

Every Vienna-style sausage I've ever checked has been gluten-free, including regular Armour. If the label is clear, the turkey version probably is safe as well, but I don't know that 100 percent.

Thanks Richard. I guess I'll call Hormel again and see what they say IF I can get a real human on the phone - yesterday I could not. Applegate farms has lots of gluten free sausages so I may switch to them anyway.

Have you tried "Old Wisconin" sausages, brats, etc??

They are pretty goood and they say gluten-free right on the label -- I am a fan of the Cheddar Sausages -- though the fat content could kill a mule...

ON the crispy butterfingers, they have wafers, which is off limits, those wafers going to be cookies which are going to be made out wheat. It should say wheat rather loudly on the label. All M&M's except for the blue (crispy) ones are gluten-free. There is a current controversy in another thread about exactly how gluten-free the hershey's chocolate bars are.

Anything Crispy in the Candy department is usually pretty suspect.

Thanks broncobux! No I haven't tried those sausages but I'm sure Harry's carries them here. I prefer to pay extra (if necessary) for the gluten free marked items when possible. I'd like to not spend two hours getting $50 worth of groceries reading every label of every item. I'll read them when I have to (which is most of the time) but really I can make up the extra cost of the marked gluten-free stuff by spending more time working (100% comm. income) rather than reading labels every minute of the day.

      It is more likely code for “we think there really was a good response to the treatment, but it was small or in a small percent of subjects so it would take a large clinical trial to try to prove it.”

      Celiac symptoms

      By Dana0207 · Posted

      Thank you so much for your replies. Luckily the rash went away when I completely swore off gluten. It took several months but I have not had a flare in months. So a biopsy is no longer possible. The itch was terrible and apart from bleaching my skin the steroid lotions and potions did nothing. The Gliadin is for accidents and shall be a part of my travel kit from now on. This past exposure has made a me a little leery about eating anything that was not cooked in my kitchen or a dedicated gluten-free restaurant. As much as I used to love baked goods, I am cured and have become quite the gluten free baker to the point that friends and family forget that my cakes/cookies/and bread are not "real". I guess I will have to wait for the new blood test to come out to get confirmation but I have a suspicion that the rash was dermatitis herpetiformis.

      Hello, I just wanted to share with the frustration of skin issues and seeing dermatologist and medications not working for years, I did my own healing experiment. As of last week I have been taking a drop internally under the tongue of Vetiver and putting on topically on sores Yellow/Pom.I am seeing a extreme difference at a rapid time.Im also noticing my nails a little harder. Ive always been into natural properties because I feel its safer for the body.I know short time, but really seeing a difference. I also feel the the trapped gases that causes bloating helps break down as well.Curious if any body else can benefit from and has tried. Products is made by Doterra by Dr Hill

      Celiac symptoms

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I agree with @trents, and the rash you described, especially its location and resistance to steroids, sounds highly characteristic of dermatitis herpetiformis, which is the skin manifestation of celiac disease. The severe and prolonged reaction you're describing five days after a small exposure is, while extreme, not unheard of for those with a high sensitivity; the systemic inflammatory response can absolutely last for several days or even weeks, explaining why you still don't feel right. Your plan to avoid a formal gluten challenge is completely understandable given the severity of your reactions, and many choose the same path for their well-being. While experiences with GliadinX (they are a sponsor here) are mixed, some people do report a reduction in the severity of their symptoms when taken with accidental gluten, though it is crucial to remember it is not a cure or a license to eat gluten and its effectiveness can vary from person to person. For now, the absolute best advice is to continue being hyper-vigilant about cross-contamination—buffets are notoriously high-risk, even with good intentions. Connecting with a gastroenterologist and a dermatologist who specialize in celiac disease is essential for navigating diagnosis and management moving forward. Wishing you a swift recovery from this last exposure. If you have DH you will likely also want to avoid iodine, which is common in seafoods and dairy products, as it can exacerbate symptoms in some people. This article may also be helpful as it offers various ways to relieve the itch:
