Sunsweet Prunes

[Tigger18]

Does anybody know if sunsweet prunes are gluten-free? I was "positive" there were so I had some and now I'm starting to feel pretty sick!!! I don't know what else it could be. Has anybody called the company or just know?

Thanks!

Prunes are Gluten Free. My box of Sunsweet Prunes has ingredients of "Prunes " (which are dried plums).

Note that prunes can give you diarhea! They are notorious for that and people eat them to "keep them regular" or to cure constipation!

I get diarhea if I eat too many dried apricots, raisins, prumes or even apples!

So it's either that effect or it was something else, I would guess.

careful! ingredient lists alone won't tell you if something is gluten free!!! dried beans "are just beans"; quaker oats "are just oats"--these contain gluten because they're made on shared equipment. this is known as "cross-contamination."

Frontier Coop curry ("just spices") glutened unwary me the other day--emailing them reveals they're made in a shared facility with wheat--nothing on the label OR the website!

anyhow, so it's not clear whether Sunsweet prunes are gluten-free--I'll email the company before I try any from the pack I just bought.

have you considered the possibility of fructose malabsorption? Open Original Shared Link

I'm pretty sure I read it sometimes presents with Celiac.

good luck!
