I was just at my local Henrys and they have a "Flourless Chocolate Raspberry Torte" in the frozen foods section (Wild Oats Brand) . I checked the ingredients and nothing stood out as having gluten in it. They also list allergens and wheat was not one of them. Has anyone tried this already?

I shop at an Actual Wild Oats Store, and I asked about this today

They said to follow this....and always only do what your doc says....but if its not on this list...they don't endorse it as being gluten free.....and basically don't even "go there" if you're not sure and its not on the list....again though..even some things on this list....are not good for sensitive people....and note on the list....they have it marked as a claim, or verified gluten free item....

That list is as of August 2004, so they may not have even made that product yet. I would call them, but it's likely ok.

Oh, and tortes (especially chocolate), by definition, are flourless (or use very little). They tend to also have few ingredients, such as eggs, cocoa, sugar, cream...maybe one or two other things. Many tortes use finely ground nuts as the "flour"

That is list was made in 2004 but is the current one for their store as they have not added any products.

I was in the store just today, and that is what the manager said.

It was ill advised.

But you gotta try if you want to I guess, I would'nt though.....

Well, I tried the Flourless Torte and it was fantastic and I have had NO problems either, not even a little bit. I'm so excited and it wasn't even that expensive! $4.99!!! It is nice to have a store bought desert other than ice cream!!!!

MMMMM I love nut tortes! I've seen tortes though that used cake crumbs or bread crumbs instead of flour, so be careful. And unfortunately, chefs sometimes flour the pan it is cooked in, even if the cake is called "flourless"-- this happened to me at the restaurant where I ate dinner on my birthday. (Then I ordered a flan & they stuck a cookie in it! Not the best attention span there!)

      Patiently Waiting to See Results

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      You've done an excellent job of meticulously tracking the rash's unpredictable behavior, from its symmetrical spread and stubborn scabbing to the potential triggers you've identified, like the asthma medication and dietary changes. It's particularly telling that the rash seems to flare with wheat consumption, even though your initial blood test was negative—as you've noted, being off wheat before a test can sometimes lead to a false negative, and your description of the other symptoms—joint pain, brain fog, stomach issues—is very compelling. The symmetry of the rash is a crucial detail that often points toward an internal cause, such as an autoimmune response or a systemic reaction, rather than just an external irritant like a plant or mites. I hope your doctor tomorrow takes the time to listen carefully to all of this evidence you've gathered and works with you to find some real answers and effective relief. Don't be discouraged if the rash fluctuates; your detailed history is the most valuable tool you have for getting an accurate diagnosis.

      Gluten free beer ?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      In this case the beer is excellent, but for those who are super sensitive it is likely better to go the full gluten-free beer route. Lakefront Brewery (another sponsor!) has good gluten-free beer made without any gluten ingredients.

      Welcome to the forum, @catsrlife! Celiac disease can be diagnosed without committing to a full-blown "gluten challenge" if you get a skin biopsy done during an active outbreak of dermatitis herpetiformis, assuming that is what is causing the rash. There is no other known cause for dermatitis herpetiformis so it is definitive for celiac disease. You would need to find a dermatologist who is familiar with doing the biopsy correctly, however. The samples need to be taken next to the pustules, not on them . . . a mistake many dermatologists make when biopsying for dermatitis herpetiformis.

      How Come Gluten Didnt Bother Me In Italy

      By trents · Posted

      You state in an earlier post that you don't have celiac disease. Here in this post you state you will "be doing another test". What will this test be looking for? What kind of celiac disease testing have you had done? If you have used a Entero Labs it sounds like you have had stool testing done for celiac disease which is not widely accepted as a valid celiac disease diagnostic testing method. Have you had blood antibody testing for celiac disease done and do you realize that for antibody testing to be valid you must have been eating generous amounts of gluten for a period of weeks/months?

      No, I've not been diagnosed as celiac.  Despite Entero Labs being relocated to Switzerland/Greece, I'll be doing another test. After eating wheat products in Greece for 4 weeks, there wasn't any reaction.  However, avoiding it here in the states.   Thanks everyone for your responses.
