Quaker Crispy Mini's

I emailed Quaker last month asking if their Crispy mini's were gluten-free. They replied that the flavours I asked about were gluten-free. Great! I ate with gusto. Bam, I got sick. I've tried a few more times since and each time I've gotten D and gas. I'm just wondering if anyone else has had the same response. Maybe there is a CC issue and they aren't being upfront with it. I searched the boards and found a thread from 2004 asking the same question but no real answer.

I have heard that people have issues with Quaker, still others have no problems.

I choose Lumberg, which is manufactured at a dedicated facility.

Salem,

In another celiac forum I read that in the states there are cross contamination issues, but in Canada, they are in a dedicated facility. I don't eat them myself, but that is the last I heard, and I see you're in BC. I would call and just double check if I were you.

I am surprised Quaker told you something was gluten free. They usually have a blanket statement saying everything they make is Cross Contaminated. I won't touch anything they make.

I had some very minor problems eating Quaker chips (slight D). The funny thing is, I ate instant Quaker oatmeal for quite a while with no problems before I gave up instant oatmeal on general purposes (the supposed CC oats issue). Plus, it's not winter here in Texas, and oatmeal is a winter thing for me. :)

best regards, lm

I ate quaker instant oats almost every morning for 10 years. it took me about 2 years to figure out why I was always sick by diner time. Here in Canada, oats are on the safe list but they aren't safe for me. I didn't contact quaker, but Pepsi who makes quaker products. They also gave me a list of their other gluten-free products. My reaction to crispy mini's isn't bad compared to a full blown gluten attack, but it sure makes going to work interesting.

      Was the card itself lost or just the record or both?

      The Happy Tart review

      We were flabergasted that the owner would not acknowledge a $50 e-gift card I purchased for my celiac wife. My wife tried to open it in the store and was informed there had been a system change and they could not find the record. No worries, she was told, just talk to management. Six months later, and numerous absurd back and forths, and the owner literally...

      Ibuprofen

      Yes, some people do get withdrawal from gluten but gluten withdrawal doesn't usually cause gut pain. Maybe more like general body aches and discomfort. We have articles on gluten withdrawal on this forum. You might do a search for them. Applesauce is very acidic and some brands have added vitamin C (ascorbic acid) which makes them more acidic. This can...

Six months later, and numerous absurd back and forths, and the owner literally informs me there have been "bad actors", so she can't make good on this lost gift card. In other words, she accused me of lying and committing fraud... over $50! Please be careful with your orders and purchases here.

      Yes, some people do get withdrawal from gluten but gluten withdrawal doesn't usually cause gut pain. Maybe more like general body aches and discomfort. We have articles on gluten withdrawal on this forum. You might do a search for them. Applesauce is very acidic and some brands have added vitamin C (ascorbic acid) which makes them more acidic. This can damage the stomach lining if you eat it too often. Especially if your stomach lining is already compromised. Ibuprofen inhibits the body's ability to rebuild the stomach's protective mucosal lining. That's why it can cause peptic ulcers. As strange as it may sound, low level irritation/inflammation stimulates the body to rebuild the stomach lining. There are two steps in this rebuilding process known as COX 1 and COX 2. Ibuprofen represses both COX 1 and COX 2. Celecoxcib, a prescription anti inflammatory, inhibits only COX 2, making it less likely to cause damage to the gut lining.

      Do you or anyone know alot about ibuprofen  I wasn't sure if I was eating too much apple sauce.   Something is making my pain so much worse  I'm referring to the intense pins and needles in my feet and lower legs.  Jaw actually has tardive dystonia and muscle spasms throughout my back Almost like an opposite effect that a pain reliever would do. I'm fairly new to this. Whatever is going on seems to be worsening  Do people get a withdrawal effect from gluten?  It's extremely painful 😖  I'll post that question or research on the site  Thank you everyone for responding
