I Am So Angry I Want To Scream!

In April I purchased the Frozen Fudge Bars in Pathmark because I noticed that they were Gluten Free (I even mentioned it on this board) and now today I was there and they are in a newly designed box - and - guess what? Now they contain WHEAT!

Why? Why? Why? There was no need to change it - it was satisfying and low fat and Gluten Free!

I know that it seems like such a little thing but I'm not just sensitive to Gluten - like many of you I'm unable to eat many foods (no fresh fruit!) so in the summer it was wonderful to be able to look forward to eating something.

I just wrote to them but of course I don't expect them to do anything about it but I was SO angry - I took a special trip there to get a batch (they were on sale) and then - nothing!

I am not sure if this will help you, depending on your area, I was at Wegmans yesterday and their brand of fudge bars are marked gluten free. I was excited but since I travel to shop at the store I didn't have a cooler to carry them home.

Thanks but they aren't in NYC. We think alike - when I saw in the online circular that they were on sale I brought a cooler along to carry them home but my cooler came home unfulfilled.

      I don't see how cornstarch could alter the test results. Where did you read that?

      For pain relief I take a combination of Thiamine (Benfotiamine), Pyridoxine B 6, and Cobalamine B12.  The combination of these three vitamins has analgesic effects.  I have back pain and this really works.  The B vitamins are water soluble and easily excreted.   Hope this helps!  Keep us posted on your results!

      Welcome to the forum, @Xravith. I experienced similar symptoms before my diagnosis.  Mine were due to the loss of vitamins and minerals, essential nutrients we must get from our food.  With Celiac Disease, the intestinal lining, made up of thousands of villi, gets damaged and cannot absorb essential vitamins and minerals, especially the eight B vitamins.  The loss of Thiamine B 1 can cause muscle loss, inability to gain weight, edema (swelling), fatigue, migraines and palpitations.  Low thiamine can cause Gastrointestinal Beriberi with symptoms of nausea, abdominal pain and bloating.   Thiamine is only stored for a couple of weeks, so if you don't absorb enough from food daily, as the thiamine deficiency worsens physical symptoms gradually worsen.  If you're eating lots of carbs (like gluten containing foods usually do), you need more thiamine to process them (called high calorie malnutrition).  Thiamine works with all the other B vitamins, so if you're low in one, you're probably getting low in the others, too, and minerals like iron, magnesium, zinc, and calcium, as well as Vitamin D..  Talk to your doctor about checking for nutritional deficiencies.  Most doctors rarely recognize vitamin deficiency symptoms, especially in thiamine. Get a DNA test to see if you carry any Celiac genes.  If you do not have genetic markers for Celiac, it's probably IBS.  If you do have genetic markers for Celiac, it's probably Celiac.  I was misdiagnosed with IBS for years before my Celiac diagnosis.   Keep us posted on your progress. P. S. Deficiency in thiamine can cause false negatives on antibody tests, as can diabetes and anemia.

      No she didn't because if I want to ask I have to pay 700$ for 1 hour appointment so I couldn't even ask. I read that fillers like cornstash can alter the result and tylenol contains it so that's why I tried to find someone who can answer.
