Has anyone tried these in the past year or so. I've read old posts that say that they're okay, but nothing recent.

Anybody out there willing to be a guinea pig? Or already was one?

Oo- I have been wondering the same thing...

Bought 5 last week, looked at the big box holding the eggs so I wouldn't have to strain my eyes seeing the foil wrapping. Nothing at all about wheat.

Me and DS14 who are highly sensitive ate 2 each and DD16 ate one. Delish and no one was sick!! We were a little scared of the 1st bite, but it was so yummy...

and then to not get sick, as the commercial says, "Priceless".

I bought a couple last year. I noticed on the lable it had glucose syrup (wheat) on it. I did eat them and I did not experience a problem. I have not looked at any this year yet.

...That's because glucose syrup means "sugar syrup", literally. It's usually synonymous with corn syrup. Glucose and gluten are not the same thing--one's sugar, one's a protein; one's derived from corn or sugar, the other from wheat, rye, barley, etc.

Glucose syrup can be wheat derived. That is why the label says "glucose syrup 'wheat'". Due to FDA regs if anything is derived from wheat it has to be labeled as such and that is what this company is doing. Some of us may be able to tolerate it just fine. I am not one of them.

Yes, some very sensitive can react to glucose syrup derived from wheat, but generally, it's highly processed and safe for most people with Celiac.

Which I realized when I was a little more awake. It's been a long day and I didn't mean to come off as a jerk.

You didn't come off as a jerk at all. You are right that glucose is a sugar and it isn't common here in the US for it to be wheat derived. Or to see it labeled that way. I think it is more common in stuff from Europe but I could be wrong.

      KAN-101 Treatment for Coeliac Disease

      By Russ H · Posted

      This treatment looks promising. Its aim is to provoke immune tolerance of gluten, possibly curing the disease. It passed the phase 2 trial with flying colours, and I came across a post on Reddit by one of the study volunteers. Apparently, the results were good enough that the company is applying for fast track approval.  Anokion Announces Positive Symptom Data from its Phase 2 Trial Evaluating KAN-101 for the Treatment of Celiac Disease https://www.reddit.com/r/Celiac/comments/1krx2wh/kan_101_trial_put_on_hold/

      Gluten related ??

      By Colleen H · Posted

      Hi everyone  This has been a crazy year so far... How many people actually get entire sensory overload from gluten or something similar ?  My jaw is going nuts ..and that nerve is affecting my upper back and so on ...  Bones even hurt.  Brain fog. Etc  I had eggs seemed fine.   Then my aid cooked a chicken stir fry in the microwave because my food order shorted a couple key items .   I was so hungry but I noticed light breading and some ingredients with SOY !!! Why are we suffering with soy ? This triggered a sensitivity to bananas and gluten-free yogurt it seems like it's a cycle that it goes on.  The tiniest amount of something gets me I'm guessing the tiny bit of breading that I took one tiny nibble of ...yikes ..im cringing from it .. Feels like my stomach is going to explode yet still very hungry 😔  How long does this last?! Thank you so much

      Celiac getting dentures

      By gfmom06 · Posted

      I have had orthodontic work done. The 3M invisalign material was no problem. BUT my retainers are another matter. They seemed okay for a few months. Now, however, they cause a burning sensation on my tongue, gums and insides of my lips. The burning sensation is now spreading to my throat. I notice it when I breathe. This is annoying and interferes with my enjoyment of eating. I am visiting with my provider tomorrow. We'll see where this goes from here.
