2new2celiacs 0 Posted February 17, 2005 Report This Post (To report rule violations to admin) Share Posted February 17, 2005 Hello everyone, I am having the worst craving for "Rice Crispy bars" and have been on the mad search for marshmallows. I just can't seem to find any that happen to be gluten-free. Does anyone know of such a thing or a good substitute? Also, I was told that I should change my toothpaste due to the fact that it possibly contains gluten, can you tell me what you use (gluten-free)? Thank you for any help you can give!!!!! ~Sarah Sarah "Small Town" Minnesota, USA Diag:9/04, positive blood tests Trying to be strictly gluten-free Link to post Share on other sites
lovegrov 151 Posted February 17, 2005 Report This Post (To report rule violations to admin) Share Posted February 17, 2005 I've never found a marhsmallow with gluten. Ever. With the Kraft marshmallow all you have to do is read the ingredients as they will clearly list any gluten. In more than three years I've found exactly one toothpaste with gluten -- I think it was Sensodyne (I know it was one for people with sensitive teeth). Crest, Arm and Hammer, Colgate -- all gluten-free. richard Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Leidenschaft Posted February 17, 2005 Report This Post (To report rule violations to admin) Share Posted February 17, 2005 Hey Richard, I agree on the Marshmallow front, however I do use Sensodyne every day and don't have any problems. It may be a difference between their paste and gel however, or even Canada and US having different manufacturers?? I don't like the paste and have not used it since being gluten-free, I'm strictly a Gel type of girl! I did contact Sensodyne when I went gluten-free and they said that the products did not contain gluten but they could not guarantee it since they bought their ingredients from other places... vague I know, but pretty standard reply I find! Is there another "sensitive" teeth paste that is confirmed gluten-free? Link to post Share on other sites
2new2celiacs 0 Posted February 17, 2005 Author Report This Post (To report rule violations to admin) Share Posted February 17, 2005 Thnks Richard! Ok, I have to admit...The bag of marshmallows that I buy are store brand and they contain modified food starch. I just assumed that if the store brand did, they all did. Geez, I remember my parents telling me as a kid..."whenever you assume things you make an *** out of you and me". lol They were right, I feel silly that I did not even bother to check the other brands. I do use Crest, so I am ok. Thanks agaian ~Sarah Sarah "Small Town" Minnesota, USA Diag:9/04, positive blood tests Trying to be strictly gluten-free Link to post Share on other sites
lovegrov 151 Posted February 17, 2005 Report This Post (To report rule violations to admin) Share Posted February 17, 2005 You do need to check MFS but in most cases it's gluten-free. I might have been wrong about the Sensodyne or perhaps I was just remembering their CYA statement. richard Link to post Share on other sites
KaitiUSA 9 Posted February 17, 2005 Report This Post (To report rule violations to admin) Share Posted February 17, 2005 I make rice krispy treats with Kraft marshmallows and a gluten free rice cereal. You do need to check with MFS though but Kraft does not hide anything so I use their products a lot.They taste really good...you should make your own if you have a craving for it .

KaitiUSA 9 Posted February 18, 2005 Report This Post (To report rule violations to admin) Share Posted February 18, 2005 I use a brand called Erewhon(manufactured by US Mills). I got it at a health food store. It says gluten free crispy brown rice whole grain cereal. It is also organic. http://usmillsinc.com/usmills/search.php?s...=1168&x=11&y=13 This is a link to their site with gluten free cereals they have.

Guest Viola Posted February 20, 2005 Report This Post (To report rule violations to admin) Share Posted February 20, 2005 Tammy, what is your location? Nature Path's rice cereal says Gluten Free right on the box and is found in most stores in Western Canada. I believe it's made in the West of the U.S. It makes yummy bars Link to post Share on other sites
FreyaUSA 0 Posted February 21, 2005 Report This Post (To report rule violations to admin) Share Posted February 21, 2005 Are the Nature's Path rice crispies more like the regular rice crispies? The Erewhon were a little too different when we first tried them for my kids to accept them (though they'd probably like them now.) Just wondering before I go and buy another box of cereal (so many rejects! ) Link to post Share on other sites
KaitiUSA 9 Posted February 21, 2005 Report This Post (To report rule violations to admin) Share Posted February 21, 2005 They are different when they are by themselves. I don't know if I'm used to it but when I make rice krispy treats they taste pretty normal. My relatives who are not celiac have these rice krispies too and don't even know the difference. Envirokidz has a lot of gluten free cereals that are good...haven't tried natures path but they sound like something that I might like to try.

Guest Viola Posted February 21, 2005 Report This Post (To report rule violations to admin) Share Posted February 21, 2005 They are a little different. A little more bland. Unfotunately it seems to be the malt flavouring that makes them nice and crisp. But when they are done in the bars it does make them pretty close. Link to post Share on other sites
debmidge 8 Posted February 21, 2005 Report This Post (To report rule violations to admin) Share Posted February 21, 2005 Just got a thought... would it help if before the gluten-free rice crispies are made into marshmallow bars, they are lightly toasted in the oven to make them more crispy for the receipe? Husband has Celiac Disease and Husband misdiagnosed for 27 yrs - The misdiagnosis was: IBS or colitis Mis-diagnosed from 1977 to 2003 by various gastros including one of the largest, most prestigious medical groups in northern NJ which constantly advertises themselves as being the "best." This GI told him it was "all in his head." Serious Depressive state ensued Finally Diagnosed with celiac disease in 2003 Other food sensitivities: almost all fruits, vegetables, spices, eggs, nuts, yeast, fried foods, roughage, soy. Needs to gain back at least 25 lbs. of the 40 lbs pounds he lost - lost a great amout of body fat and muscle Developed neuropathy in 2005 Now has lymphadema 2006It is my opinion that his subsequent disorders could have been avoided had he been diagnosed sooner by any of the dozen or so doctors he saw between 1977 to 2003 Link to post Share on other sites
stef_the_kicking_cuty 12 Posted February 21, 2005 Report This Post (To report rule violations to admin) Share Posted February 21, 2005 Hey Sarah, I found some marshmallows on the glutenfree list for the USA. The brands are: - Campfire marshmallows - Fireside marshmallows - Walgreens Drugstore brand - Jet Puffed - Peeps - SAFEWAY Oh, and I just found Hain Kidz Marshmallow Crisp Bars: regular and chocolate chip are gluten-free.

Gobbie 0 Posted May 9, 2009 Report This Post (To report rule violations to admin) Share Posted May 9, 2009 Hmmm, GLUTEN MARSHMELLOW? I didn't realise they have gluten in them. I thought they are pretty much gluten free! That's why I've been thinking of indulging on them today lol. Most sweets are gluten free. Like Haribo jellies according to their labels are suitable for vegans and vegetarians. Jelly beans are the same!! One of the main reasons' I've fallen in LOVE with them lately. Plus since they come in various flavours, I get to taste all the other things I can not have lol. Or other junk sweets like flying saucers and stuff like that are usually gluten free. Wine gums, etc. If you have a thing for chocolates, most dark chocs are suitable for vegans too. Green&Black's small dark choc's vegan & vegeterian friendly + gluten free but then the bigger one has whole milk powder in it so you still have to go through the ingredients lists. But then Lindt big chunk 'may' contain gluten but I find them alright. Hope this helps. x Link to post Share on other sites
tarnalberry 314 Posted May 9, 2009 Report This Post (To report rule violations to admin) Share Posted May 9, 2009 On the toothpaste front: As far as I can gather from my experiences w/ Sensodyne, calling them, and what people have posted here, they *used* to use an ingredient that could contain gluten. Not a CYA statement, but rather a rotating, "where can we get this cheapest" ingredient that meant the produce really did have *trace* amounts of gluten in it from time to time. This was something like five years ago? (My memory isn't precise on this - it could have been seven for all I remember. Suffice it to say, it was a *number* of years ago.) Since then, however, they have changed their sources and now - if I recall what someone wrote here about calling them - really do have only gluten free ingredients. Of course, I just use Crest's sensitivity toothpaste. 'Cause I like it. Tiffany aka "Have I Mentioned Chocolate Lately?"
