Alexia Fries

Last weekend I bought a bag of Alexia Yukon Gold Fries. The bag was marked 'gluten free' and I did not notice until I went to use them yesterday that there is a "may be made on machinery shared with nuts and wheat" warning. The "wheat" warning does not appear on their website, just on the package--is this something new? This was the first time I have bought them, and now I'm afraid to eat them. Has anyone had any experience/problems with them?

Hmmm...I eat those fries all the time, and I have never seen that warning before. I'm assuming it's because of the new label laws. That being said, I trust this company a lot. I eat the fries about once a week, and I have never had a problem with them. I will continue to eat them, too, even with the new label on them. Hopefully, you won't have a problem with them, either. (I make some yummy cheese fries with these, so I would hate to give these up!)

Thanks! That makes me feel better. I have only read good things about them here, and was a bit shocked to see the warning on the bag. Must be the new packaging making it to the stores. Thanks again :)

I also haven't had a problem with them. I think it's because they may share their lines, if production warrants, but they do have fairly strict cleaning requirements. :-)

I love them too! Never had a problem. I've also never seen the wheat warning though.

We have never had a problem with them either. I did notice the last time I was at the store, though, that some bags (different varieties) had that warning and some didn't. I get the olive oil and sea salt ones or the julienne ones.

      Oral thrush question

      By JulieRe · Posted

      Hi Everyone,  I do appreciate your replies to my original post.   Here is where I am now in this journey.  I am currently seeing a Naturopath.  One thing I did not post before is that I take Esomeprazole for GERD.  My Naturopath believes that the decrease in the gastric acid has allowed the yeast to grow.    She has put me on some digestive enzymes.  She also put me on Zinc, Selenium, B 12, as she felt that I was not absorbing my vitamins. I am about 5 weeks into this treatment, and I am feeling better. I did not have any trouble taking the Fluconazole.

      I'm sure it's chemically perfect. Most of them taste lousy!

      Oral thrush question

      By Rejoicephd · Posted

      Hi @JulieRe.  I just found your post.  It seems that I am also experiencing thrush, and my doctor believes that I have fungal overgrowth in my gut, which is most likely candida.  I'm seeing my GI doctor next week, so I'm hoping she can diagnose and confirm this and then give me an antifungal treatment.  In the meantime, I have been working with a functional medicine doctor, doing a candida cleanse and taking vitamins. It's already helping to make me feel better (with some ups and downs, of course), so I do think the yeast is definitely a problem for me on top of my celiac disease and I'm hoping my GI doctor can look into this a bit further.  So, how about you?  Did the candida come back, or is it still gone following your fluconazole treatment?  Also, was it awful to take fluconazole?  I understand that taking an antifungal can cause a reaction that sometimes makes people feel sick while they're taking it.  I hope you're doing better still !

      Advice while waiting for testing

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I'm so sorry you're going through this—the "gluten challenge" is notoriously brutal, and it's awful to deliberately make yourself sick when you've already found the answer. For the joint pain, many people find that over-the-counter anti-inflammatories like ibuprofen can help take the edge off, and using heating pads or warm baths can provide some direct relief for the aches. For the digestive misery, stick to simple, easy-to-digest foods (like plain rice, bananas, and bone broth) and drink plenty of water and electrolytes to stay hydrated. It feels like the longest month ever, but you are doing the right thing to get a clear diagnosis, which can be crucial for your long-term health and getting the proper care. Hang in there; you can get through this! This article, and the comments below it, may be helpful:

      Gluten free beer ?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Daura Damm (a sponsor here) uses AN-PEP enzymes and filtering in their brewing process to reduce/remove gluten, and it actually tests below 10ppm (I've see a document where they claim 5ppm).
