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).

      @Jmartes71, Sorry you've been feeling so poorly. Are you taking any medication to treat the SIBO? Are you taking any Benfotiamine? Have you had your gas appliances checked for gas leaks and exhaust fume leaks? Carbon Monoxide poisoning can cause the same symptoms as the flu and glutening. Doctors have to check venous blood (not arterial...

      Blood Test for Celiac wheat type matters?

      European wheat is often a "soft wheat" variety which contains less gluten than "hard wheat" varieties found in the States. In European countries, different cooking methods and longer fermentation (rising or proofing) times allow for further breakdown of gluten peptides. Wheat in the States is a blend of hard and soft wheat. Gluten content can...

      Severe severe mouth pain

      From my own experience and that of others who have tried to discontinue PPI use, I think your taper down plan is much too aggressive. It took me months of very incremental tapering to get to the point where I felt I was succeeding and even then I had to rely some days on TUMS to squelch flareups. After about a year I felt I had finally won the battle. Rebound...

      Severe severe mouth pain

      Talk to your doctor about switching to an antihistamine, and supplementing essential vitamins and minerals. Dietary changes (low carb/paleo) may be beneficial for you. Have you talked to a dietician or nutritionist about a nutrient dense gluten free diet? It's harder to get all the vitamins needed from a gluten free diet. Gluten containing products are...

      Severe severe mouth pain

      I’m pretty sure they do. I have been on myfortic, tacrolimus since 2021 for my liver transplant and added prednisone after kidney transplant. I’m going to try to cut back omeprazole to 20 mg a day and then after a week try to stop altogether. Thank you for your help.

      @Jmartes71, Sorry you've been feeling so poorly.   Are you taking any medication to treat the SIBO?   Are you taking any Benfotiamine? Have you had your gas appliances checked for gas leaks and exhaust fume leaks?  Carbon Monoxide poisoning can cause the same symptoms as the flu and glutening.  Doctors have to check venous blood (not arterial) for carbon monoxide.  Are other inhabitants sick, or just you?  Do they leave the house and get fresh air which relieves their symptoms?

      European wheat is often a "soft wheat" variety which contains less gluten than "hard wheat" varieties found in the States.   In European countries, different cooking methods and longer  fermentation (rising or proofing) times allow for further breakdown of gluten peptides. Wheat in the States is a blend of hard and soft wheat.  Gluten content can vary according to where the wheat was grown, growing conditions, when harvested, and local preference, so a blend of both hard and soft wheat is used to make a uniform product.   I moved around quite a bit as a child in a military family.  I had different reactions to gluten in different areas of the country every time we moved.  I believe some wheat breeds and blends are able to provoke a worse immune response than others.   Since European soft wheat doesn't contain as much gluten as American wheat, you may try increasing your intake of your soft wheat products.  A minimum of ten grams of gluten is required to get a sufficient immunological response so that the anti-gluten antibodies leave the intestines and enter the bloodstream where they can be measured by the tTg IgA test.  Your whole wheat bread may only have a gram of gluten per slice, so be prepared...

It took me months of very incremental tapering to get to the point where I felt I was succeeding and even then I had to rely some days on TUMS to squelch flareups. After about a year I felt I had finally won the battle. Rebound is real. If I were you I would aim at cutting back in weekly increments for two weeks at a time rather than daily increments. So, for instance, if you have been taking 2x20mg per day, the first week cut that down to 2x20mg for six days and 1x20 mg for the other day. Do that for two weeks and then cut down to 2x20mg for five days and 1x20 for two days. On the third week, go 20x2 for four days and 20x1 for 3 days. Give yourself a week to adjust for the reduced dosage rather than reducing it more each week. I hope this makes sense.
