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

      New Celiac Mama in My 30s

      As far as I know and I have made severalonline searches, celiac disease disease has not been recognized as a cause of migraines or any eye problems. What I wrote must have been confusing.

      Does anyone here also have Afib

      Interesting, when I suffered for a few months with ectopics I noticed that carbohydrates would cause indigestion and bloating in my stomach, then that would lead to my heart skipping beats, and I could feel it in my throat, it was very unsettling.  My last serious bout of this was after eating a Muller Rice Pudding for breakfast.   I happened to be wearing a 48 hour halter at the time and cardiology picked it up, but they weren't worried about what they saw. There was some British doctor who'd made some videos on the Vagus nerve that I remember watching at the time which made sense of what I was experiencing, there did seem to be some sort of connection.

      I asked my cardiologist about stopping vitamins.  He said his tests account for all detectable vitamins from sources other than food.  I only need to stop them for a couple of days.  He has me keep records of meds and vitamins I've ingested over the past 10 days and prior and he does his calculations.

      Do some people with Celiacs develop hypoglycemia?

      By jessysgems · Posted

      Reply to treats I try and eat to bring up the glucose. Sometime I get up 3 times a night and eat something. I don't think food is the issue. A lot of the food they say should help doesn't.  Many mornings my level is 59 and I feel sick, sometimes for hours. It has been recommended I go to an Endocrinologist.
