I was just curious if anyone had tried Dale and Thomas Popcorn. The today show had a bit on about it this morning. If you go and tell them a popcorn horror story you can get a free bag of their popcorn to try. I went to their website and they have CLEARLY listed which of their popcorns are gluten free and which are not. Looks like an awesome company. Anyone had any experience with them?? Popcorn looks YUMMY!

Never tried it but it is actually co-owned by the Knicks GM / HOF'er Isiah Thomas. Guess he runs his popcorn business better than his basketball team.

The funny thing is based on the ingredients I can't tell why the two listed as not gluten-free are listed that way. Unless they are being extra careful with the carmel coloring and vinegar. I guess its better for a company to be conservative on these ingredients.

I actually emailed them asking the same question. So hopefully I'll hear something back before my free bag of popcorn arrives :)

Ok this is kinda freaky you posted this because I meant to the other day, but I've been so busy this week I just kept forgetting. But I was wondering the same thing, especially since they sell it in our cafeteria at work and I always want to try it.

Great minds think alike :blink: ha

I'll post if I hear back from the company, maybe someone else has already asked them that question before and they can enlighten us :) I REALLY want to try this popcorn.

I finally heard back from them today and here is what they say :)

Dear Jessica,

Thank you for contacting Dale and Thomas Popcorn.

All of our products are gluten free. Thank you bringing it to our attention that the Chocolate Chunk and Caramel is not labeled accordingly. That flavor is made from our Dales Caramel and the same chocolate used in all of other chocolate flavors, which are all gluten free. We will have this corrected accordingly.

Thank you and please feel free to contact us with any further questions you may have.

Best regards,

Jennifer Lum

Customer Service, Team Leader

Love their popcorn! My roommate brought some home for the grammys a few weeks back and then said "Oh no, u probably cant have this!" so she went to the website and i was so psyched to see it actually had gluten-free info! Thanks for contacting them and clearing up that mislabel! (and killernj- right on about Thomas!! :P )

      Struggling to get into a good pattern

      By cristiana · Posted

      Since I've been a member of this forum,  I've seen some people write that they have not been able to tolerate corn, and others nightshades - tomatoes, potatoes, eggplant, and peppers (including bell peppers, chili peppers, and paprika).    However, intolerances can be short term, just while you are healing.    So bear this in mind if you start dropping certain foods from your diet - you may well be able to eat them again once you are healed.

      Welcome to the forum, @Izelle! Normally, the diagnosis of celiac disease involves two stages.  The first stage involves a simple blood test that looks for antibodies that are pretty specific to celiac disease. Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder that attacks the lining of the small bowel which produces antibodies that can be detected in the blood with tests specifically designed for this purpose. There are a number of these tests that can be run. Some are more specific for celiac disease and thus more reliable than others. The two most common antibody tests ordered by physicians when diagnosing celiac disease are the "total IGA" and the "tTG-IGA" test. At least these two should always be ordered. Here is a an article outlining the subject matter of celiac antibody tests:  If the tTG-IGA levels are 10x normal then it is becoming common practice in some countries to grant a celiac diagnosis on the bloodwork alone. The second stage involves an endoscopy with biopsy of the small bowel lining to look for the damage to the small bowel lining typically caused by celiac disease's inflammatory process over time. This is usually done in response to one or more positives from the blood antibody testing and constitutes confirmation of the antibody testing to eliminate the possibility of false positives.

      Diagnosed gluten allergy but not Celiac

      By Waterdance · Posted

      Thank you for saying that. That doctor diagnosed me with IBS with no follow-up so the relationship is already concluded. If I pursue diagnosis further I'll request someone else.

      Hey everyone. Thanks again for your suggestions. I wanted to give an update and ask for some follow-up suggestions from you all.  So I did go through all of my food items and stopped eating things that were “gluten free” and switched over to the “certified gluten free” ones (the ones with the g symbol). I also stayed away from restaurants except once and there I ordered something raw vegan and gluten free hoping for the best. I also stayed away from oats and soy and dairy. I've also been increasing my vitamin B complex. I've been doing this for about 12 days and while I know that's not that long, I'm still getting sick. Sometimes having diarrhea. Sometimes getting headaches and having necklaces. Sometimes waking up feeling horrible brain fog. I did go to my GI doc and they did a blood test and found my TtG-IgA was in the negative range (and a lower number than I'd had before). I also had normal levels of CRP. My stool showed no elevation of calprotectin and no pathogens. My GI doc said the symptoms could be related to a gluten exposure or to IBS. I'm keeping a food diary to see if I can narrow down whats going on. I know I have good days and bad days and Im trying to isolate what makes a good day versus a bad day. Generally so far it looks like if it eat something super cautious like raw vegetables that I chopped myself into a salad and almonds, im fine but if I eat something more complex including, say, chicken and rice (even if packaged and certified gluten free or made by me with gluten free ingredients), it may not go so well. I may end up with either a headache, neck tension, brain fog, and/or diarrhea that day or the morning after. Any other thoughts or suggestions? I am planning to start tracking my foods again but I wanted to do it in more detail this time (maybe down to the ingredient level) so are there any common ingredients that celiacs have issues with that you all know of that I should track? I've got dairy, oats, soy, eggs, corn, peas, lentils on my “watch list”. Other things I should add? I'm hoping if I track for another two weeks I can maybe pin down some sensitivities. Appreciate the help and tips. Thank you so much!!
