Weird Comment From General Mills

Today I called the 800# for General Mills in Canada to check on Betty Crocker fruit roll ups. The lady who answered the phone said that if there were any gluten containing ingredients that they would be clearly labelled as wheat, rye, oats, barley and in addition there would be a bold may contain: wheat or a contains: wheat. I said that I know that sometimes barley hides in natural flavours and so that was my concern - they wouldn't write contains: barley, would they? And she said no matter what the gluten containing ingredient it would say contains: wheat at the bottom.

I think that's weird. I mean, cool that they'll clearly list it and all, but if it contains barley they'll put contains: wheat?

Has anyone else had a response like that?

That answer does not make any sense. I can't imagine they would label something else as wheat. You can always try to call back, or email them and see what happens.

Her answer! Your question makes plenty of sense. We may be brainfogged, depressed, anxious, &c. when glutened, but I sometimes think we are a tiny spark of sanity in an insane world. Or at least a highly illogical world!

:huh: Sounds like you got a lazy and/or poorly trained operator. I'd give 'em the benefit of the doubt, try again and see what they say.

If it's the same response a second time, then whoa, something's serious wrong with GM.

NATURAL FLAVOR they hide all sorts of things and the dyes can be CC and they don't have to tell you.

You really don't eat this stuff do you? Sorry...

No, I don't eat it. My six year old gets a box to split with his big brother once a year. They each end up with three pieces. Then they don't get any until next summer or unless someone at a soccer/hockey game or birthday is handing it out with loot bags.

      Unusual bright yellow but odourless discharge

      "Conclusions: The urinary iodine level was significantly lower in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis, and iodine replacement may be important in preventing osteoporosis"  Body iodine status in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis Low iodine can cause thyroid problems, but Iodine deficiency will not show up in thyroid tests.  Iodine is important for healing, its job is to kill off defective and aging cells (Apoptosis). Skin, brain fog, nails, muscle tone all inproved when I started taking 600 mcg (RDA 150 - 1000 mcg) of Liquid Iodine drops. Some with dermatitis herpetiformis, Iodine exacerbates the rash.  I started at 1 drop (50 mcg) and worked up to 12 drops, but I don't have dermatitis herpetiformis.

      Thank you so much for sharing your experience and I found myself giggling with happiness as I read how your body reached such spring! And I hope that your current journey is also successful!! Definitely starting the food diary! So many amazing advices. And it’s very scary. It really hits all our soft spots as well as our confidence system. Most doctors I went thought I was underage despite being in my late 20s. Right now I look like am I twelve, but is also this body that’s taking so much, so I might as well love it too! Going to make the necessary changes and stay in this path. Thank you again! 🫶

      Thank you so much for the information and kind message! Reading this transformed how I’ve been viewing my efforts and progress. Guess there’s still a lot to celebrate and also heal 😌  Yes, I’ve been taking it! Just recently started taking a multivitamin supplement and separated vitamin D! I also took chewable Iron polymaltose for ferritin deficiency 2 months ago but was unable to absorb any of it.  Thank you again! Hearing such gentle words from the community makes my body and heart more patient and excited for the future.
