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.

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      I take both Benfotiamine and TTFD. You might want to start with the Benfotiamine for a few days and then add in the TTFD. You can look for NeuroMag (Magnesium Threonate). A magnesium glycinate is fine, too. Doctor's Best is a good brand. Don't take more than 300mg total per day of magnesium or it may have a laxative effect. Be sure...

      Life Extension Benfotiamine with Thiamine has 100MG of Ben and 25 of Thia..... Do you think this is the one I should take or Objective Nutrients Thiamax (TTFD) which has 100MG Thiamine. How much magnesium should I look for? I take the womens 50+ multivitamin since consumerlabs stated and tested that it has the right amount of vitamins and not too much for...

      Glutened

      Hi all I’ve been celiac for 4 years now, I’ve done pretty well to avoid it thus far. Last night I took the wrong pizza out of the freezer and ate the whole lot!! The non gluten and gluten pizza boxes are both very similar. 2 hours later I was throwing up violently on my hands and knees over the loo. .horrendous stomach pains, My hair was wet fro...

      Yes, do take your B Complex with Benfotiamine or Thiamax. Thiamine interacts with each of the other B vitamins in the B Complex to make energy and enzymes, so best to take them together earlier in your day. Taking them too close to bedtime can keep you too energetic to go to sleep. The Life Extension Benfotiamine with Thiamine is Benfotiamine and...

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      I looked further into Thiamax Vitamin B1 by objective nutrients and read all the great reviews. I think I will give this a try. I noticed only possible side affect is possibly the first week so body adjusts. Life Extensions carries Benfotiamine with Thiamine and the mega one you mentioned. Not sure if both in one is better or seperate. some reviews state...

How much magnesium should I look for? I take the womens 50+ multivitamin since consumerlabs stated and tested that it has the right amount of vitamins and not too much for men and doesn't have BHT which has shown to cause liver cancer in animals. I was never big with multivitamins as well as doctors I just read when I was first going gluten free to take a multi but I think I will stop them and work on trying the super B Thia and Ben, Mag.

      Hi all I’ve been celiac for 4 years now, I’ve done pretty well to avoid it thus far. Last night I took the wrong pizza out of the freezer and ate the whole lot!! The non gluten and gluten pizza boxes are both very similar.   2 hours later I was throwing up violently on my hands and knees over the loo.  .horrendous stomach pains,  My hair was wet from sweat every part of my body was wet. What an awful experience, just had a bad headache today  fortunately.    Is their any products/pills anyone takes if they have realised they have just been glutened to make the symptoms a little less worse.  thanks

      Yes, do take your B Complex with Benfotiamine or Thiamax.  Thiamine interacts with each of the other B vitamins in the B Complex to make energy and enzymes, so best to take them together earlier in your day.  Taking them too close to bedtime can keep you too energetic to go to sleep.   The Life Extension Benfotiamine with Thiamine is Benfotiamine and Thiamine Hydrochloride, another form of thiamine the body likes.  The Thiamine HCl just helps the Benfotiamine work better.   Read the label for how many milligrams are in them.  The Mega Benfotiamine is 250 mgs.  Another Benfothiamine has 100 mgs.  You might want to start with the 100 mg.    I like to take Thiamax in the morning with a B Complex at breakfast.  I take the Benfotiamine with another meal.  You can take your multivitamin with Benfotiamine at lunch.   Add a magnesium supplement, too.  Thiamine needs magnesium to make some important enzymes.  Life Extension makes Neuro-Mag, Magnesium Threonate, which is really beneficial.  (Don't take Magnesium Oxide.  It's not absorbed well, instead it pulls water into the digestive tract and is used to relieve constipation.)  I'm not a big fan of multivitamins because they don't always dissolve well in our intestines, and give people a false sense of security.  (There's videos on how to test how well your multivitamin dissolves.).  Multivitamins don't prevent deficiencies and aren't strong enough to correct deficiencies.   I'm happy you are trying Thiamax and Benfotiamine!  Keep us posted on your progress!  I'm happy to answer any questions you may have.

I will do further research but I appreciate the wonderful explanation you provided on Thiamine.
