Warning--caramel Apples Contain Wheat Flour!

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

Does all caramel contain wheat?

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 forum, @Ben98! If you have been consciously or unconsciously avoiding gluten because of the discomfort it produces then it is likely that your blood antibody testing for celiac disease has been rendered invalid. Valid testing requires regular consumption of generous amounts of gluten. The other strong possibility is that you have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) which shares many of the same symptoms with celiac disease but does not have the autoimmune component and thus does not damage the small bowel lining. It is 10x mor common than celiac disease. There is currently no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out. Some experts in the field believe it can be a precursor to the development of celiac disease. Having one or both of the primary genes for developing celiac disease does not imply that you will develop active celiac disease. It simply establishes the potential for it. About 40% of the population has the genetic potential but only about 1% develop active celiac disease.

      TTG blood test and total IGA tested on many occasions which have always remained normal, upper GI pain under my ribs since 2022. I had an endoscopy in 2023 which showed moderate gastritis. no biopsy’s were taken unfortunately. genetic test was positive for HLADQ2. extreme bloating after eating gluten, it’ll feel like I’ve got bricks in my stomach so uncomfortably full. the pain is like a dull ache under the upper left almost like a stitch feeling after a long walk. I am just wanting some advice has anyone here experienced gastritis with a gluten issue before? thank you

      "Conclusions: The urinary iodine level was significantly lower in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis, and iodine replacement may be important in preventing osteoporosis"  Body iodine status in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis Low iodine can cause thyroid problems, but Iodine deficiency will not show up in thyroid tests.  Iodine is important for healing, its job is to kill off defective and aging cells (Apoptosis). Skin, brain fog, nails, muscle tone all inproved when I started taking 600 mcg (RDA 150 - 1000 mcg) of Liquid Iodine drops. Some with dermatitis herpetiformis, Iodine exacerbates the rash.  I started at 1 drop (50 mcg) and worked up to 12 drops, but I don't have dermatitis herpetiformis.

      Thank you so much for sharing your experience and I found myself giggling with happiness as I read how your body reached such spring! And I hope that your current journey is also successful!! Definitely starting the food diary! So many amazing advices. And it’s very scary. It really hits all our soft spots as well as our confidence system. Most doctors I went thought I was underage despite being in my late 20s. Right now I look like am I twelve, but is also this body that’s taking so much, so I might as well love it too! Going to make the necessary changes and stay in this path. Thank you again! 🫶
