I'm sure many of you don't visit the clanthompson.com site often...but they have a section called gluten alerts which lists ingredient changes etc in products. I went there today and saw this below... I have rec'd homestyle in the past, so it seems no Duncan Hines Frostings are gluten-free now. I have not been in store to ck the label myself, but be aware... Go to this address to see updates: Open Original Shared Link

February 4, 2006:

Duncan Hines Creamy Home Style Frostings are no longer gluten free. They contain barley malt.

New listing on the Clan Thompson site states:

June 6, 2006:

Duncan Hines Creamy Homestyle Frostings: We placed another call to Duncan Hines regarding their Creamy Homestyle Frosting since the labels no longer list barley malt as an ingredient. The company states they are gluten free. There are no gluten containing ingredients in the product, but there is a possibility of cross contamination since they are not made on dedicated lines.

I guess they are ok now again- good thing because I was just baking a gluten-free chocolate cake and got some Duncan Hines frosting that I was hoping to use!

Ymmmmm :D

Here is a letter I received from Pinnaclefoodscorp@casupport.com. Sorry :(

December 4, 2006

Thank you for taking the time to inquire about Pinnacle Foods Corporation

and the products we produce which might be gluten-free. We appreciate

your interest in our company and our products.

At the present time, Vlasic

Oh NO! :angry: I wonder what would happen if we sent them thousands of emails complaining! How frustrating, that was the only safe one we had around here, until they changed. :(

Thanks, I'll have to check it out. Sometimes our Canadian ingredients are different than the US.

Here's hoping! :P

Hmmm, I've been eating my cake for three days now and not having any problems. I got the Duncan Heins Creamy Homestyle vanilla frosting. I didn't see anything suspect on the ingreedient list unless it falls under "natural flavorings". There was not any malt/maltodextrin (barley based) listed which I guess was what they added earlier this year, then removed??

I'm just confused now- do you think the Clan Thompson site listed it incorrectly? Or is it ok based on reading the ingreedient list?

The original story earlier this year was that Duncan Hines stated to Clan Thompson that they were no longer gluten-free (they added barley malt to the Homestyle Frostings). Then after

noticing that they weren't stating barley malt, CThompson recontacted them and were told that they had reformulated it again and were again gluten-free. So some products that are out there probably still have the barley malt in them, and some don't. They also say

there is a possibility of cross contamination as they don't make them all on dedicated lines. If they have both products out there, they probably don't want to say they are ok if some of them are definitely not. Otherwise, if they don't say barley malt, it's probably similar to other situations where the product "looks" ok, and it would be up to the consumer if they trust it to be free of contamination or not (like General Mills cereals that appear to be gluten-free by the actual product listing).

      Hi Charlie, You sound like you have been having a rough time of it. Coeliac disease can cause a multitude of skin, mouth and throat problems. Mouth ulcers and enamel defects are well known but other oral conditions are also more common in people with coeliac disease: burning tongue, inflamed and swollen tongue, difficulty swallowing, redness and crusting...

      Hi Charlie, You sound like you have been having a rough time of it. Coeliac disease can cause a multitude of skin, mouth and throat problems. Mouth ulcers and enamel defects are well known but other oral conditions are also more common in people with coeliac disease: burning tongue, inflamed and swollen tongue, difficulty swallowing, redness and crusting in the mouth corners, and dry mouth to name but some. The link below is for paediatric dentistry but it applies to adults too.  Have you had follow up for you coeliac disease to check that your anti-tTG2 antibodies levels have come down? Are you certain that you not being exposed to significant amounts of gluten? Are you taking a PPI for your Barrett's oesophagus? Signs of changes to the tongue can be caused by nutritional deficiencies, particularly iron, B12 and B9 (folate) deficiency. I would make sure to take a good quality multivitamin every day and make sure to take it with vitamin C containing food - orange juice, broccoli, cabbage etc.  Sebaceous hyperplasia is common in older men and I can't find a link to coeliac disease.   Russ.   Oral Manifestations in Pediatric Patients with Coeliac Disease – A Review Article

      Hi @Charlie1946 You are very welcome.   I agree wholeheartedly with @knitty kitty:  "I wish doctors would check for nutritional deficiencies and gastrointestinal issues before prescribing antidepressants." I had a type of tingling/sometimes pain in my cheek about 2 years after my diagnosis.  I noticed it after standing in cold wind, affecting  me after the event - for example, the evening after standing outside, I would feel either tingling or stabbing pain in my cheek.   I found using a neck roll seemed to help, reducing caffeine, making sure I was well-hydrated, taking B12 and C vitamins and magnesium.  Then when the lockdowns came and I was using a facemask I realised that this pain was almost entirely eliminated by keeping the wind off my face.  I think looking back I was suffering from a type of nerve pain/damage.  At the time read that coeliacs can suffer from nerve damage caused by nutritional deficiencies and inflammation, and there was hope that as bodywide healing took place, following the adoption of a strict gluten free diet and addressing nutritional deficiencies, recovery was possible.   During this time, I used to spend a lot of time outdoors with my then young children, who would be playing in the park, and I'd be sheltering my face with an upturned coat collar, trying to stay our of the cold wind!  It was during this time a number of people with a condition called Trigeminal Neuralgia came up to me and introduced themselves, which looking back was nothing short of miraculous as I live in a pretty sparsely populated rural community and it is quite a rare condition.   I met a number of non-coeliacs who had suffered with this issue  and all bar one found relief in taking medication like amitriptyline which are type of tricyclic anti-depressant.   They were not depressed, here their doctors had prescribed the drugs as pain killers to address nerve pain, hence I mention here.  Nerve pain caused by shingles is often treated with this type of medication in the UK too, so it is definitely worth bearing in mind if standard pain killers like aspirin aren't working.
