Spelt Pretzels

I have been on the lookout for a gluten free pretzel that I do not have to buy online. At our local Co-op, they say they DO carry gluten free pretzels, they are "Vita Spelt" and also they have spelt pretzels from Newman's. So, is spelt gluten-free?

No, no, no, no, no!!!:wacko:

Sorry to be so frank here ;) ...spelt is not okay...it's a form of wheat and it's on the forbidden ingredients list on celiac.com

Can't put it more clear then that....Spelt is a definate no no. Some health food store employees tried to tell me it was safe(when I first started the gluten-free diet) thankfully I knew better and had to inform them. I would print out the forbidden foods list from celiac.com and I can provide you the link if you would like one but it is a good guideline to follow on what you can and can't have.

If you are looking for a good gluten-free pretzel I really enjoy the Ener-G ones. They sell them at "Stop & Shop" and also "Wild by Nature". Those are the stores around me which carry them, but I cant seem to find them in a big bag, only the snack size ones. But they taste really great. :)

Yeah Ener-G ones are so delicious...they need to come in bigger bags. Glutano also makes pretzels(in bigger bags) that are pretty good but not as good as Ener-G.

I am glad you guys are here! I will call back the co op and let them know that their spelt pretzels are not good enough for my girl! She tried the Ener-g ones when we were on vacation in San Diego. I found them at "Sprouts." She ate them up so fast, and since then, I have searched everywhere for them. We don't have those 2 stores that you mentioned above, so I may have to order them online!

Thanks for the replies!

      Definitely worth speaking to your gastroenterologist about this.

In fact, he said to me that because I found relief using Gaviscon that was a very clear indicator that reflux was the cause of that particular issue. A wedge...

      Anyone else get a lot of upper respiratory infections?

      I did get the pneumonia vaccine about 4 years ago. I had this amazing allergist who did all those vitamin deficiencies test and told to get that vaccine. Unfortunately she retired. I haven’t been to an allergist in a few years, I’m not sure what my levels are now. I did have a pulmonologist who wasn’t concern and said I seemed fine to him that I was young...

      Anyone else get a lot of upper respiratory infections?

      Yes I do have acid reflux. I’m not on anything for it at the moment. I sometimes wonder if that’s what it could be because I get heart burn every night. I may revisit my gastrointestinal doctor again. Thanks for the reply

      Anyone else get a lot of upper respiratory infections?

      Hi @HelloFlowersGoodbyeFlour I wonder if you suffer from reflux, as if you do, you may find it could also be irritating your airways. I shall explain: I have to use a blue inhaler from time to time, and it seems to be related to reflux. Never had any trouble before my coeliac diagnosis, the reflux seemed to be something that developed following...

      Since initially getting your D checked a few years ago, has it since rebounded to normal levels? Sounds like at some point you got it checked again.

I did have a pulmonologist who wasn’t concern and said I seemed fine to him that I was young etc. But yes I think I should at the very least get a different opinion. Thank you for your reply

      Hi @HelloFlowersGoodbyeFlour I wonder if you suffer from reflux, as if you do, you may find it could also be irritating your airways.  I shall explain: I have to use a blue inhaler from time to time, and it seems to be related to reflux.  Never had any trouble before my coeliac diagnosis, the reflux seemed to be something that developed following a holiday to France in 2019, where I had been exposed to gluten.    The reflux continued into the autumn and winter, my throat itched to begin with, particularly after meals, but it then that feeling of irritation seemed to spread to my lungs.  I even found it difficult to breathe on occasion. What stopped it in its tracks was using a wedge pillow at night, following a reflux diet (you can find them online), not eating 2-4 hours before bed and also having a dose of Gaviscon Advanced at night, which forms a barrier so that acid/food can't go back up your esophagus.  The throat irritation faded, and then I found it easier to breathe again. Just mentioning in case it could be a contributing factor.
