David Sunflower Seeds/planters Chocolate Cashews

[BRCoats]

Hi,

I just ate both of them (feeling snacky) and kind of feel a reaction coming on. I was SURE both were gluten-free...now I'm not so sure. Does anyone know?

P.S. The sunflower seeds are still in the shell. Could they have dusted them with flour?? I read the ingredients on the planters, and all looked gluten-free (they are owned by Kraft, so it should be clear as mud).

I know the seeds are gluten-free.

And Planters is a Kraft company and therefore lists. Maybe you just ate too many! ;-)

Well...I only ate three. After posting that, I realized that I was probably having a reaction due to my gastroparesis, not the celiac disease. I still feel yucky today, but.....this too shall pass.

Dear BR, what is gastroparesis?

Deb

OK to email me.

Deb,

It's another digestive problem that causes malnutrition. It's where your stomach doesn't empty any of the food out....or rather, it just takes FOREVER. So, as a result, you don't ever want to eat (although you get hungry). I eat like a bird because of it. But, I eat like a bird several times a day. It causes extreme nausea. Many folks will get tube fed, and I've even heard of some getting a stomach transplant (no way, never would I do that). Anyway, it's improved some with going gluten-free....but still not normal.

Hope that answered your question.

Brenda
