This particulair item says wheat free on the package....I associate both together(gluten)but was not positive. I dont anything with oats anyway....

Dear Carmela:

Thank you for contacting Barbara's Bakery about our Peanut Butter

Puffins Cereal product. Our Peanut Butter Puffins Cereal is not a gluten

free product as it includes Oat Flour, which is a known gluten

containing grain. The following grains are considered to contain gluten:

wheat, rye, oats (due to it being processed on the same machinery as

wheat in the United States) or barley. Attached is a list of our Gluten

Free products for your convenience and reference.

We hope you will be able to try some of these other delicious and

nutritious Gluten Free Foods produced by Barbara's Bakery. If we can be

of further assistance in the future, please feel free to contact us

again. We hope you continue to enjoy Barbara's products in excellent

health!

Best regards,

Cathy Berg

Try Esther Price chocolates. There is only one that has rice crispy type stuff in it, which has gluten, but all the rest are gluten-free. I spoke with their on staff nutritionist who knew all about gluten. I mentioned I liked their candy better than Godiva, he said that's because they use real butter and Godiva uses other fats, too. On Godiva's website, they say "primarily made with butter and cream."

They're a local chocolate company here in Ohio, so if you're not in Ohio you'll have to order from them online. The price is a lot better than Godiva, too.

You should check out Open Original Shared Link chocolates...they are the best (and way better than Godiva.) They're headquartered in Calgary, AB, and I believe they have a couple of stores now in the US. Their chocolates are very fresh. There are ingredients lists on the website I linked to. Plus there are recipes for using their chocolate as well. :)

      This is a very common question, and the most important thing to know is that no, Guinness is not considered safe for individuals with coeliac disease. While it's fascinating to hear anecdotes from other coeliacs who can drink it without immediate issues, this is a risky exception rather than the rule. The core issue is that Guinness is brewed from barley, which contains gluten, and the standard brewing process does not remove the gluten protein to a level safe for coeliacs (below 20ppm). For someone like you who experiences dermatitis herpetiformis, the reaction is particularly significant. DH is triggered by gluten ingestion, even without immediate gastrointestinal symptoms. So, while you may not feel an instant stomach upset, drinking a gluten-containing beer like Guinness could very well provoke a flare-up of your skin condition days later. It would be a gamble with a potentially uncomfortable and long-lasting consequence. Fortunately, there are excellent, certified gluten-free stouts available now that can provide a safe and satisfying alternative without the risk.

      Interestingly, this thought occurred to me last night. I did find that there are studies investigating whether vitamin D deficiency can actually trigger celiac disease.  Source: National Institutes of Health https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7231074/

      Before being diagnosed coeliac I used to love Guinness. Being made from barley it should be something a coeliac shouldn’t drink. But taking to another coeliac and they can drink it with no ill effects and have heard of others who can drink it too.  is this everyone’s experience?  Can I drink it?  I get dermatitis herpetiformis and don’t get instant reactions to gluten so can’t try it to see for myself.

      NCGS does not cause damage to the small bowel villi so, if indeed you were not skimping on gluten when you had the antibody blood testing done, it is likely you have celiac disease.

      I will assume you did the gluten challenge properly and were eating a lot of gluten daily for 6-8 weeks before your test, but if not, that could be the issue. You can still have celiac disease with negative blood test results, although it's not as common:  Clinical and genetic profile of patients with seronegative coeliac disease: the natural history and response to gluten-free diet: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5606118/  Seronegative Celiac Disease - A Challenging Case: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9441776/  Enteropathies with villous atrophy but negative coeliac serology in adults: current issues: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34764141/  Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS.
