Think I Might Have Been Glutened....

I am not feeling well, and the only thing I might have eaten that could have done it is chocolate covers almond toffee. I didn't even think about it and I sure am hoping that this is just stress.

Any thoughts, or knowledge is greatly appreciated!

I hope someone answers this post definitively.

I love toffee.

It probably, like everything else in this gluten-filled world, depends on what KIND of toffee....

The Clan Thompson Smart List says dove choclate is gluten-free. Toffee should be gluten-free, there is no reason for gluten to be in there, it cooks at way too high of a temperature (my mom makes it at the holidays). I'd be more concerned about the chocolate part, although it appears to be safe. I'd call the company tomorrow and ask.

Thanks, I will. I looked all kinds of Almond-Toffee recipes and I didn't see any mention of gluten. The toffee I ate was a bulk store brand from Cental Market. I will give them a try tomorrow!

Bulk bins are major MAJOR cc hazards. Could that be the case?

It could be. To be totally honest, they have signs saying that they can't garuntee that there are not any allergins in the bulk area. I have eaten stuff out of the bins for the past 8 months with no ill affects, but maybe I have just been lucky!

Toffee may or may not contain gluten depending on the ingredients, manufacturing process and - in the case of bins - how it's stored. <_<

You can damage your small intestine and irritate your immune system without noticeable symptoms, that is until they catch up to you. Subtle signs of vitamin deficiencies and latent autoimmune disorders can crop up weeks, months or years after the exposure.

Hershey's Skor is gluten-free. Also Newman's Own Organics Butter Nut Crunch bar, Fannie May Toffee bar and Cloud Nine Butter Nut Toffee bar.

      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).

      How Come Gluten Didnt Bother Me In Italy

      By trents · Posted

      This topic has come up before on this forum and has been researched. No GMO wheat, barley and rye are commercially available in the USA. Any modifications are from hybridization, not laboratory genetic modification. Better toleration of wheat, barley and rye products in other countries is thought to be due to use of heirloom varieties of these cereal grains as opposed to the hybrids used in the USA which contain much larger amounts of gluten.
