The ingredients look safe - but I was wondering if anyone knew for sure. If not, are there any other fruit snacks that are gluten free?

Good question! I've eaten them several times and never had a reaction, but I'm not 100% certain.

My son loves the Florida's Natural fruit snacks (OK, me too). They all have a high percentage of fruit/fruit juice in them. We especially love the sour strings. These snacks actually say gluten free on the package and I made sure to write them and thank them for it. The only place I have found them so far is Target.

Their website is located at ausomesnacknaturally.com.

Gushers is a General Mills company, and they will list their gluten.

Thanks!

Appreciate all the input. I'm going to Target this week - I'll take a look for those fruit snacks, too!

The only General Mills fruit snacks that I have found to have gluten are the "Twistables" that are like licorice and also there are some roll-up ones called Air-Head Extremes that are listed as containing wheat. We do not buy the Gushers anymore, but not because of gluten it was for dental reasons!

My kids had a LOT of dental problems before going gluten free and all of them had mouths full of temporary crowns on their baby teeth from so much damage due to the weakened enamel. The gushers were so much more sticky than the regular fruit snacks and my kids kept popping off their crowns! Their dentist is 45 minutes away and I will not allow them to eat the gushers. We do allow all falvors of the General Mills Fruit Roll Ups and Fruit by the Foot, and all of the shapes. A lot of Kellogg's fruit snacks are gluten free too. My kids love the Yogos and the Yogos Rollers.

      EMA Result

      By trents · Posted

      Let me hasten to add that if you will be undergoing an endoscopy/biopsy, it is critical that you do not begin efforts to reduce gluten beforehand. Doing so will render the results invalid as it will allow the small bowel lining to heal and, therefore, obscure the damage done by celiac disease which is what the biopsy is looking for.

      Violent reaction to gluten after going gluten-free?

      Seeking advice on potential gluten challenge

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      That’s a really tough situation. A few key points: as mentioned, a gluten challenge does require daily gluten for several weeks to make blood tests meaningful, but negative tests after limited exposure aren’t reliable. Dermatitis herpetiformis can also be tricky to diagnose unless the biopsy is taken from normal-looking skin next to a lesion. Some people with celiac or DH don’t react every time they’re exposed, so lack of symptoms doesn’t rule it out. Given your history and family cancer risk, this is something I’d strongly discuss with a celiac-experienced gastroenterologist or dermatologist before attempting a challenge on your own, so risks and benefits are clearly weighed.

      By Greymo · Posted

      https://celiac.org/glutenexposuremarkers/    yes, two hours after accidents ingesting gluten I am vomiting and then diarrhea- then exhaustion and a headache. see the article above- There is research that shows our reactions.

      EMA Result

      By trents · Posted

      Concerning the EMA positive result, the EMA was the original blood test developed to detect celiac disease and has largely been replaced by the tTG-IGA which has a similar reliability confidence but is much less expensive to run. Yes, a positive EMA is very strong evidence of celiac disease but not foolproof. In the UK, a tTG-IGA score that is 10x normal or greater will often result in foregoing the endoscopy/biopsy. Weaker positives on the tTG-IGA still trigger the endoscopy/biopsy. That protocol is being considered in the US but is not yet in place.
