Hi everyone!

I'm new to posting but have been reading the boards for awhile. I am not sure whether this has been posted before but I just wanted to warn everyone that Kozy Shack Soy Pudding advertises on the box that it is gluten free, but actually contains wheat starch!! I bought some yesterday because it said it was gluten free, but upon closer inspection discovered it wasn't. I was so bummed...

I am going to call Kozy Shack and let them know that they have mislabeled their product...though I am sure I am not the first to notice! I couldn't believe my eyes!

Not all wheat derivatives contain gluten.

Wheat starch commonly is a derivative that is made in a process that actually removes the gluten molecule. It sounds far fetched, but its true...

I eat they all the time. Distant memory recalls that hydrolyzed wheat protein, is when the offending protein is removed during the process, rendering it gluten free. You need to ask Irish Dave for the confirmation, though.

Is Kozy Shack

I have never heard of Kozy Shack Soy Yogurt. I didn't see it on their website. All the Kozy Shack products I have see are gluten free.

I don't eat anything with wheat starch in it. I suggest you contact the company and ask how they determined it was gluten free.

this can get so confusing! i actually don't have celiac...my husband does. I try my best to help him...I don't know you guys keep track of everything :)

The reason I was extra confused was because underneath the ingredients it said "Contains: soy, wheat" I will let you all know when I call the company and get an answer. Thanks for the input!

I missed the SOY Pudding. Like Phyllis, I have never seen that product. I would be interested in what the company reply is. Good for you for calling. :)

I got a response back from Kozy Shack and it turns out that broncobux is right!!

Dear Valued Consumer:

Thank you for taking the time to contact us concerning Kozy Shack Soy

Pudding.

Consumer communication plays a vital role in the ongoing improvements of

our products. Your comments are always helpful and appreciated.

In answer to your question, whole wheat is composed of a protein

fraction and a carbohydrate fraction. When wheat starch (the

carbohydrate fraction) is processed, it is separated from the protein

fraction, which is where the gluten is contained. The protein fraction

is discharged and we only use the carbohydrate part that does not

contain gluten. This results in less than 10ppm of gluten per serving

which is more stringent than the FDA's proposed regulations for a

"Gluten Free" claim (which is less than 20ppm).

We hope that you will enjoy our products.

Sincerely,

Kozy Shack Consumer Response Team

I immediately told my husband the news because the soy pudding cups are really good!! He said he still didn't want to take any chances...I guess that means more for me!!

The frustrating and sad part of this "gluten free wheat starch" issue is

that 10 years from now "they" could or may come to the conclusion that they

were wrong and it does contain gluten. And we were the ginny pigs.

I agree with your husband, I would not touch this product. At least they tell you it's in there. That's a step in the right direction.

      Celiac getting dentures

      By gfmom06 · Posted

      I have had orthodontic work done. The 3M invisalign material was no problem. BUT my retainers are another matter. They seemed okay for a few months. Now, however, they cause a burning sensation on my tongue, gums and insides of my lips. The burning sensation is now spreading to my throat. I notice it when I breathe. This is annoying and interferes with my enjoyment of eating. I am visiting with my provider tomorrow. We'll see where this goes from here.

      Is this celiac?

      By Beverage · Posted

      Exactly which blood tests were done? There are a few different ones and some docs don't do them all. Also, your results and reference ranges for each?

      Thankyou so much for your words.Its a hard battle when a supposed well known hospital whose celiac " specialist " has down played me because my colon looks fine and put it in my medical and so pcp doesn't take seriously. In their eyes we all carry that gene.Im having alot of bad days trying to be positive because of it.

      Your experience is both shocking and critically important for the community to hear, underscoring the terrifying reality that cross-contamination can extend into the most unexpected and invasive medical devices. It is absolutely devastating that you had to endure six months of sickness and ultimately sustain permanent vision loss because a doctor dismissed your legitimate, life-altering condition. Your relentless research and advocacy, from discovering the gluten in MMA acrylic to finding a compassionate prosthodontist, is a testament to your strength in a system that often fails celiac patients. While the scientific and medical consensus is that gluten cannot be absorbed through the skin or eyes (as the molecules are too large to pass through these barriers), your story highlights a terrifying gray area: what about a substance *permanently implanted inside the body*, where it could potentially shed microparticles or cause a localized immune reaction? Your powerful warning about acrylic lenses and the drastic difference with the silicone alternative is invaluable information. Thank you for sharing your harrowing journey and the specific, severe neurological symptoms you endure; it is a stark reminder that celiac is a systemic disease, and your advocacy is undoubtedly saving others from similar trauma.
