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.

      What foods can trigger a response in people with gluten sensitivity?

      By yellowstone · Posted

      What foods can trigger a response in people with gluten sensitivity? I've read that there are foods that, although they don't contain gluten, can cause problems for people with gluten sensitivity because they contain proteins similar to gluten that trigger a response in the body. I've seen that other cereals are included: corn, rice... also chicken, casein. I would like to know what other foods can cause this reaction, and if you have more information on the subject, I would like to know about it. Right now, I react very badly to rice and corn. Thank you.

      gluten-free Oatmeal

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Oats naturally contain a protein called avenin, which is similar to the gluten proteins found in wheat, barley, and rye. While avenin is generally considered safe for most people with celiac disease, some individuals, around 5-10% of celiacs, may also have sensitivity to avenin, leading to symptoms similar to gluten exposure. You may fall into this category, and eliminating them is the best way to figure this out. Some people substitute gluten-free quinoa flakes for oats if they want a hot cereal substitute. If you are interested in summaries of scientific publications on the topic of oats and celiac disease, we have an entire category dedicated to it which is here: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/oats-and-celiac-disease-are-they-gluten-free/
