You'd think I'd know better by now, but I just quickly scanned it to make sure that the nuts were peanuts (which my husband can eat--he can't eat walnuts or pecans), and it never occurred to me that they might contain wheat flour, so I didn't look. :ph34r:

GRRRRRRRR!!!

I found some at our Whole Foods that didn't - I believe they were Zitner's. All it took was one to satisfy my craving - love 'em!

I saw the wheat the other day, first fall season without my braces and I wanted a caramel apple so bad....darn wheat!

Here's a healthy approach to a caramel apple which is gluten free though and yummy

Take an apple, spread peanut butter on it and then drizzle rasins. Very tasty and is similar to the caramel tast

Nope. T Marzetti's caramel dip is gluten free. We use it A LOT. :D

I buy the Kraft carmels, melt them and add milk. Works great here. That's how I finally got my kids to eat apples slices with the peel on them. I wouldn't peel them when we had the carmel dip and they wanted the dip so bad they were willing to eat them that way. Now they eat them that way all the time.

So does that mean that caramel apples at the fair contain wheat? I sure did chow down on those a couple of weeks ago...I would have never guessed that they had gluten!

There are so many things you would never guess wheat would be, it has been an eye opener.

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @mike101020! First, what was the reference range for the ttg-iga blood test? Can't tell much from the raw score you gave because different labs use different reference ranges. Second, there are some non celiac medical conditions, some medications and even some non-gluten food proteins that can cause elevated...

      Hi, I recently was informed by my doctor that I had scored 9.8 on my ttgl blood test and a follow up EMA test was positive. I am no waiting for a biopsy but have read online that if your EMA is positive then that pretty much confirms celiac. However is this actually true because if it it is what is the point of the biopsy? Thanks for...

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @mike101020! First, what was the reference range for the ttg-iga blood test? Can't tell much from the raw score you gave because different labs use different reference ranges. Second, there are some non celiac medical conditions, some medications and even some non-gluten food proteins that can cause elevated celiac blood antibodies in some individuals. The most likely explanation is celiac disease but it is not quite a slam dunk. The endoscopy/biopsy is considered the gold standard for celiac disease diagnosis and serves as confirmation of elevated blood antibody levels from the blood testing.

      Hey there, have you been tested for allergies? You may not only have celiac disease but be allergic. I have celiac disease and am allergic to Barley, wheat and rye.
