Trader Joe's Candied Ginger

I was at TJ's today and felt like trying some. It's not on their gluten-free (or "No Gluten Ingredients") list, but they say that list is a sampling - not comprehensive. The only ingredients are ginger and sugar. They're made in Thailand, apparently.

Anyone eaten them before?

I've been eating these little by little over the last two weeks, and I haven't noticed any problems. But if you're worried, I'd give TJ's a call.

Well, I've been eating them, too, and I feel confident that they're all right. The e-mail response I got from TJ's, though, was not encouraging:

"Our Trader Joe's neighborhood stores have a lot more Gluten Free

products then are just on the list. We are unable to place all of our

Gluten Free products on the list do to the amount of products we carry

and we are constantly shifting products when discontinuing and adding

new. If there are no wheat derivatives in the product then it's Gluten

Free. The Trader Joe's Uncrystallized Candied Ginger is Gluten Free."

If they think that no wheat = gluten free, we have a problem. (Not necessarily w/the crystallized ginger, but w/their whole gluten-free identification process.)

I tried to reply, but the "from" address is apparently one that cannot receive incoming e-mail. Not very consumer friendly, if you ask me.

      No! Do not start the gluten free diet until you know whether or not you will be having an endoscopy/biopsy to verify the blood antibody test results. Starting gluten free eating ahead of either form of diagnostic testing can invalidate the results. You don't want to allow the villous lining of the small bowel to experience healing ahead of testing by removing gluten.

      We offer a ton of recipes here: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/gluten-free-recipes/ and have done some articles on fast food places, but keep in mind that eating out is a common source of gluten contamination: https://www.celiac.com/search/?q=fast food&quick=1&type=cms_records2 Many colleges now offer allergen-friendly, and sometimes gluten-free options in their student cafeterias: https://www.celiac.com/search/?&q=colleges&type=cms_records2&quick=1&search_and_or=and&sortby=relevancy PS - Look into GliadinX, which is a sponsor here, but many studies have been done on it which show that it may break down small amounts of gluten in the stomach, before it reaches the intestines.

      Thank you! What do you recommend in the next 7 weeks until I see my Doctor?  Just start my Gluten free diet?

      Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The good news is that after your gut heals (for most people who are 100% gluten-free this will take several months to two years) you may be able to slowly add some these items back into your diet after the damaged villi heal.
