Mini York Peppermint Patties

Does anyone know if these are gluten free. I read somewhere that peppermint patties were gluten free and didn't even think about the mini one's. I have a pretty bad gluttening the past few days and was wondering if these could be the culprit.

I also ate at Chipotle's and the reaction started about 24 hours later. I have been awake for two nights at least half the night. It is the holiday and weekend, so I can't contact them myself.

Thanks so much,

Monica

Hershey no longer claims to clearly list all gluten, BUT they must and will list wheat and they say any barley would be listed as malt. So you can still just read the ingredients to see if they're safe.

I consider Chipotle's to be safer than a number of places but they still do have flour tortillas so the risk of CC is always there. Did they put on new gloves before doing your order?

Thanks Richard, no they didn't use new gloves. I rarely eat out ever, but risked it. With all the flour tortillas, it does seem a bit risky. Other's here seem to do ok, so I always think it is just me. It will definitely be awhile before I eat there again.

I found that when I eat at Chipotle (which is about twice a month or more) that I can only order the burrito bowl WITHOUT cheese or anything that they would use their hands in. Even if they use new gloves, they haven't used new gloves before, so the cheese or whatever that's in the container is already contaminated. Since cutting out the cheese (and lettuce/onions, etc.), I haven't had a problem there.

monica,

Merry Christmas! I'm sorry that you are having a glutening...ugh :(

I haven't eaten yorks in awhile, but here was a point where I was living off them for my "sweet/cookie" type treat after going gluten free. They were safe at the time. I don't have any here to check.

one of my worse reactions ever was at a chipotle's....right before christmas, last year, as a matter of fact. I'm happy that others do so well there, but it is high on my list of no-no's (for me). so it might not be "just you."

hope that you recover quickly.

I just ate one of the Mini York Peppermint patties (in the tin) and had a gluten reaction within 20 minutes. The ingredients don't list gluten but do have "inverted egg whites" which could be the culprit...

Hershey will not disclose it's source for "Natural Flavors" in any of their products, and thus, will not consider these products to be gluten free.

So far, we have no had any problems with York peppermint patties. They're one of our (my boys' and my) favorite things. :P

As Momma Goose said, don't trust Hershey's just because the ingredients "look ok." But so far, the peppermint patties are ok for us.

      Decreasing tTiga?

      Hello and welcome, Could you please publish the reference ranges for each test, including tTG-IgA and the endomysial antibodies? When your daughter had her endoscopy, was she eating gluten? I agree with your position, I would not want to subject her to another endoscopy and biopsy. It sounds like your doctor is saying that since her tiredness is...

But then you say in your most recent post, "We’ve all tested and neither of us, nor my other daughter have the genetic markers for it." Those two statements are in direct contradiction to one another. Where did she get the genes for potential celiac disease then?

      Hi- thanks for the reply. Happy to give more information. No one in my family or the fathers family has celiacs. We’ve all tested and neither of us, nor my other daughter have the genetic markers for it.    these are what the lab results say: Endomysial Antibody Titer- Normal value: <1:5 titer.  Hers were at 1:10 the past 3 times and then this time it came back on her portal as just “negative” Her platelets this time came back at 451, and the normal range is 150-400. They have been in the normal range the past three times. Tissue Transglutaminase Ab-  <15.0 Antibody not detected > or = 15.0 Antibody detected Her Value 76.1 this time. 8 months ago it was 140, 6 months before that it was 120 and the time before that it was 72. From what I’ve read and from the doctor, this is the most specific test for celiac and what we should focus on the most. 76 is still extremely high, but why did it decrease when nothing in her diet has changed?

      Hello and welcome, Could you please publish the reference ranges for each test, including tTG-IgA and the endomysial antibodies? When your daughter had her endoscopy, was she eating gluten? I agree with your position, I would not want to subject her to another endoscopy and biopsy. It sounds like your doctor is saying that since her tiredness is not new that there's no real health status change. Personally, I don't like that assessment, and I would question it. From the bits you have posted, it does look like she has Celiac, but I would want to see a more comprehensive panel. It's good you've continued doing the blood tests, and are in general staying on top of it. (Are there others in either your family or the child's father's family that have had Celiac?) People without Celiac do not test positive, regardless of the level. Other moderators on this board may have more up to date information than I do, but I think that's still true. Plumbago
