I emailed Dole asking just that question. I have not heard back yet. I will post it when I do.

The ingredients include "Modified Food Starch" which is GENERALLY made form Corn or Maize in US, but it CAN be from Barley. So, I've emailed. I ate one before I noticed it - it was good. No reaction, but I won't eat another until I hear back.

Last I heard the apple caramel flavor was NOT gluten-free.

I'm frustrated with Dole. I also emailed them last Wednesday and have not heard back. I"ve tried calling them several times but got tired of being on hold for a VERY long time each time. It's the "natural flavoring" ingredient I"m concerned about.

Finally heard back from Dole (emai) who said the pineapple & cream parfait and peaches & cream are gluten-free, but the apple & carmel is not.

And that's the one I ate!

I have a few DH blisters and I couldn't figure out why.....

I also ate a whole thing of Mentos mints - I was in a hurry for a breath mint for a meeting, couldn't find TIC TAC's at the CVS I was at, and grabbed Mentos - not thinking - I read the label and LOW AND BEHOLD the 2nd ingredient is "WHEAT GLUCOSE SYRUP"!!!!!!!!!! (what in the world is that?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

So those two items are the source of my glutening!

I recently bought some of these and my ingredients list glucose syrup but not wheat glucose syrup, which if it were from wheat and not from corn the law states wheat must be shown if that's what the syrup is derived from.

Why would the apple not be gluten free? the ingredients are basically the same minus the fruit??

      Draft gluten-free ciders… can they be trusted ?

      I'd go with a vodka tonic, but that's just me😉

      By Rejoicephd · Posted

      That and my nutritionist also said that drinking cider is one of the worst drink choices for me, given that I have candida overgrowth.  She said the combination of the alcohol and sugar would be very likely to worsen my candida problem.  She suggested that if I drink, I go for clear vodka, either neat or with a splash of cranberry.   So in summary, I am giving ciders a rest.  Whether it's a gluten risk or sugars and yeast overgrowth, its just not worth it.

      Tea Bags and Gluten

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      While plain, pure tea leaves (black, green, or white) are naturally gluten-free, the issue often lies not with the tea itself but with other ingredients or processing. Many flavored teas use barley malt or other gluten-containing grains as a flavoring agent, which would be clearly listed on the ingredient label. Cross-contamination is another possibility, either in the facility where the tea is processed or, surprisingly, from the tea bag material itself—some tea bags are sealed with a wheat-based glue. Furthermore, it's important to consider that your reaction could be to other substances in tea, such as high levels of tannins, which can be hard on the stomach, or to natural histamines or other compounds that can cause a non-celiac immune response. The best way to investigate is to carefully read labels for hidden ingredients, try switching to a certified gluten-free tea brand that uses whole leaf or pyramid-style bags, and see if the reaction persists.

      Inconclusive results

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      This is a challenging and confusing situation. The combination of a positive EMA—which is a highly specific marker rarely yielding false positives—alongside strongly elevated TTG on two separate occasions, years apart, is profoundly suggestive of celiac disease, even in the absence of biopsy damage. This pattern strongly aligns with what is known as "potential celiac disease," where the immune system is clearly activated, but intestinal damage has not yet become visible under the microscope. Your concern about the long-term risk of continued gluten consumption is valid, especially given your family's experience with the consequences of delayed diagnosis. Since your daughter is now at an age where her buy-in is essential for a gluten-free lifestyle, obtaining a definitive answer is crucial for her long-term adherence and health. Given that she is asymptomatic yet serologically positive, a third biopsy now, after a proper 12-week challenge, offers the best chance to capture any microscopic damage that may have developed, providing the concrete evidence needed to justify the dietary change. This isn't about wanting her to have celiac; it's about wanting to prevent the insidious damage that can occur while waiting for symptoms to appear, and ultimately giving her the unambiguous "why" she needs to accept and commit to the necessary treatment. This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease. One test that always needs to be done is the IgA Levels/Deficiency Test (often called "Total IGA") because some people are naturally IGA deficient, and if this is the case, then certain blood tests for celiac disease might be false-negative, and other types of tests need to be done to make an accurate diagnosis. The article includes the "Mayo Clinic Protocol," which is the best overall protocol for results to be ~98% accurate.
