Marshmallows Safe?

Does anyone know if marshmallows (sp?) are gluten-free? I had a campfire mocha at Caribou yesterday and was sick, and was wondering if it was from the mini marhmallows they sprinkled on top (shouldn't be anything else with gluten in there).

It is possible that they dust the conveyer belts the marshmallows go over when processed/packaged etc. with wheat flour, so they don't stick. It's a common practice for all kinds of products. It's enough to make you sick, but not enough for them to be forced to put 'wheat' into the ingredients list.

I've seen a lot of marmallows with modified food starch in them. I would avoid them eating out unless you can see the ingredients. Sorry you felt yucky!

I think (last time I checked) that KRAFT marshmallows are okay, they say modified food starch but Kraft writes Wheat if it's got wheat and it doesn't say anything after it (or it might say corn, I don't remember.)

in any case Jet Puffed are gluten-free

      What foods can trigger a response in people with gluten sensitivity?

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @yellowstone! The most common ones seem to be dairy (casein), oats, eggs, soy and corn. "Formed" meat products (because of the "meat glue" used to hold their shape) is a problem for some. But it can be almost anything on an individual basis as your sensitivity to rice proves, since rice is uncommonly a "cross reactor" for celiacs. Some celiacs seem to not do well with any cereal grains.

      What foods can trigger a response in people with gluten sensitivity? I've read that there are foods that, although they don't contain gluten, can cause problems for people with gluten sensitivity because they contain proteins similar to gluten that trigger a response in the body. I've seen that other cereals are included: corn, rice... also chicken, casein. I would like to know what other foods can cause this reaction, and if you have more information on the subject, I would like to know about it. Right now, I react very badly to rice and corn. Thank you.
