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.

      Edy's and Dreyer's ice cream

      By Aretaeus Cappadocia · Posted

      There is a 10 year old post in this forum on Edy's and Dreyer's ice cream. The information is somewhat outdated and the thread is closed to further comment, so here is a new one. Edy's And Dreyer's Grand Vanilla Bean Ice Cream - 1.5 Quart is labeled "Gluten Free". This is a different answer than years gone by. I don't know the answer for any other flavor at this moment. On 1 May, 2026, Edy's website says: "As a general rule, the gluten in Edy's and Dreyer's® frozen dessert products is present only in the added bakery products, such as cookies, cake or brownies. We always label the eight major food allergens on our package by their common name. We recommend to always check the label for the most current information before purchasing and/or consuming a product. The exception to this rule is our Slow Churned French Silk frozen dairy dessert, which contains gluten in the natural flavors." https://www.icecream.com/us/en/brands/edys-and-dreyers/faq It seems that Edy's and Dreyer's are more celiac-friendly than they were 10 years ago. Once I found enough information to make today's buying decision, I stopped researching.

      Terrible Neurological Symptoms

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      My dad had an Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm.  Fortunately, it was discovered during an exam.  The doctor could feel my dad's heart beating in his stomach/abdomen.  The aneurysm burst when the doctor first touched it in surgery.  Since he was already hooked up to the bypass machine, my dad survived ten more years.  Close call! Triple A's can press on the nerves in the spinal cord causing leg pain.  I'm wondering if bowing the head might have increased the pressure on an aneurysm and then the nerves.   https://gulfcoastsurgeons.com/understanding-abdominal-aortic-aneurysm-symptoms-and-causes/ Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Presenting as a Claudication https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4040638/

      Terrible Neurological Symptoms

      By Aretaeus Cappadocia · Posted

      You have an odd story there. To me, the mechanical trigger suggests a mechanical problem and lower leg pain is a classic sciatica symptom. The fact that the clear mechanical linkage is no longer there does not take away from the fact that it was - maybe something shifted and the simple alignment is no longer there. There's also a good chance I am wrong and it's something else entirely. @Scott Adams's mention of shingles is interesting. It seems possible but unlikely to me, but who knows. However, I am writing here to reinforce the idea of getting the shingles vaccine. Ask anyone who has ever had shingles and they will bend your ear telling you how bad it is. I watched my wife go through it and it scared the bejeebers out of me. Even if you had the chicken pox vaccine, you really want to get the shingles vaccine.

      Oddly this effect has gone now, just happened yesterday evening, the nerve pain is now back to its usual "unpredictable" random self again - but that was the only time I ever had some mechanical trigger for it, don't know why! There's no (or wasn't) actual pain in my neck - it was inside the leg, but when I looked down, now though, the leg pain just comes and goes randomly as before again.
