I Ate Gluten By Mistake. I Want It Out Of Me!

[Missing Licorice]

Hi I've been eating 3 musketeers bars this past weekend. I've been cranky and bloated. Then I founded out that they aren't gluten free. I think they mush have malt flavouring. Any tips on how to flush the system quickly? I usually eat some ground flax seed and down a couple cups of water with it. Any other suggestions?

Hey "Missing Licorice,"

I know this wasn't your question, but I satisfy my taste for licorice with anise-flavored toothpaste (yum!... way better than mint... plus Nature's Gate is free of gluten and flouride). I also love the the "Egyptian Licorice" flavor of Yogi Tea. Licorice is good for satisfying sugar cravings.

Won't do any good to "flush the system ". Your candy bar has long ago been absorbed into your body.

BioK helps me when I get glutened.

I've read on this forum somewhere that Milky Way Dark is gluten free, and regular Milky Way is not. They are made in different plants. If I were you, I'd call the company directly. I love Milky Way too!!

What is BioK?

I phoned up 3 musketeers and they named off their chocolate bars that do not contain gluten, and 3 musketeers was not mentioned. The bar does contain "flavor" as an ingredient, which could possibly be malt. The bar is wheat free, but that doesn't mean gluten free!

The nutritional information web page for the 3 Musketeers bar, to which happygirl referred, says specifically about the 3 Musketeers bar, "Product is gluten free."

I think this is no longer the case. I was going to pick up some Milky Way Darks around Halloween and was surprised to see barley malt is now an ingredient. (Although this was a few months ago and now I'm debating whether I did look at the dark or the regular package, but I really thought it was the darks because I know regular isn't gluten-free.) So make sure you check the package.
