Cadbury Creme Eggs

I noticed wheat listed in the ingredients for cadbury creme eggs today when I was looking at the easter candy (I know it's only February). I ate some last easter, but wheat wasn't listed then. I wonder if this is a reformulation or if it has something to do with cadbury merging with kraft...We all know how kraft does their labeling.

I guess I need to do better research on these things before I start popping them in my mouth.

So I also popped these little babies in my mouth again this year, as I had years past. I have been sick on and off without good reason over the past four days and now I can tie it all back into when I first started eating these minis. I had the bigger version a few weeks ago without any problems at all though-- so I wonder if maybe it's JUST the minis?

Needless to say I am seriously displeased...and sick:(

There are a few other threads on here about these. My family ate the big ones without problems, I saw on the little ones it still lists wheat. Maybe different parts of the country have different products.

I hope you feel better soon.

Many times the mini versions are made differently. I got bit one Christmas with the reeses bell candies :angry:. I bought the regular sized Cadbury egg and cut it in half and shared it with my daughter who is also celiac. Neither of us had a problem. I like at least one per season. When I was a teenager, I ate tons of them, now just too rich.

I HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. I'm staring at the egg! And the forums and the internet seems to really have mixed reviews. I feel that the egg might be winning!

Has anyone contacted Cadbury?

You can find information on "The Eggs" here:

With further research, you will find that the glucose (wheat) listed in the ingredients, is processed to the level that is considered safe for people with Celiac.

My rule is I do not put any Holiday candy into my mouth before I check their website and their wrapper for ingredients. We like Snickers but a lot of the Holiday Snickers has wheat listed. Just to note, the new Snickers Fudge is gluten free. I called while in line at the store. lol

It's weird...on that Gluten Free facts website, they list the cadbury creme eggs as gluten free. There are so many different comments about these, if they are or if they aren't...I just avoid them because I don't know anymore!

Was just at the store and the little ones that I glanced at did not list wheat.

My DS noticed that the commercials now say Hershey's Cadbury Eggs. Could it be just old stock on the shelves and the Hershey formula does not contain gluten?

I think the ones that do not list wheat are old stock. This is the first year I have seen wheat on the ingredient list. I won't eat them...I don't care how good they are. I ate some berry kix on Monday and Tuesday, by Wednesday I was feeling glutened. I have become so sensitive in these past two years being gluten free, and the possibility of an ill effect just isn't worth it to me...but I have learned that everyone is different, and what bothers some may not bother others.

Cadbury was recently bought by Kraft, and the eggs are now being manufactured by Hershey's.

It is the new ones (Hershey's) that contain high fructose corn syrup, whereas the old ones were always made with glucose syrup from wheat. Glucose syrup is distilled, just like distilled vinegar - for this reason, it is considered to be gluten-free (the syrup contains only the sugars, not gluten protein). That said, use your own judgement based on how sensitive you are to gluten (and it is obviously not suitable for someone with a wheat allergy).

      Yes, I, too, have osteoporosis from years of malabsorption, too.  Thiamine and magnesium are what keep the calcium in place in the bones.  If one is low in magnesium, boron, selenium, zinc, copper, and other trace minerals, ones bone heath can suffer.  We need more than just calcium and Vitamin D for strong bones.  Riboflavin B 2, Folate B 9 and Pyridoxine B 6 also contribute to bone formation and strength.   Have you had your thyroid checked?  The thyroid is important to bone health as well.  The thyroid uses lots of thiamine, so a poorly functioning thyroid will affect bone heath.

      That sounds so very likely in my case! I will absolutely ask my doctor on my next bone check coming up in March... Thanks a lot!

      Calcium levels as measured in the blood can be quite deceiving as the body will rob calcium from the bones to meet demands for it by other bodily functions. Also, supplementing with calcium can be counterproductive as it tends to raise gut pH and decrease absorption. More often than not, the problem is poor absorption to begin with rather than deficiency of intake amounts in the diet. Calcium needs an acidic environment to be absorbed. This is why so many people on PPIs develop osteoporosis. The PPIs raise gut pH. And some people have high gut PH for other reasons. Low pH equates to a more acidic environment whereas high pH equates to a more basic (less acidic) environment.

      Kind thanks for all this valuable information! Since my Folate was/is low and also my Calcium, there IS a chance I am low in B vitamins... My doctor only measured the first two, oh and Zinc as I has twisted her arm and guess what, that was mega low too. So who knows, until I get myself tested properly, what else I am deficient in... I did a hair mineral test recently and it said to avoid All sources of Calcium. But this is confusing for me as my Ca is so low and I have osteoporosis because of this. It is my Adjusted Ca that is on the higher side and shouldn't be. So am not sure why the mineral test showed high Ca (well, it was medium in the test but relative to my lowish Magnesium, also via hair sample, it was high I was told). But anyway, thanks again for the VitB download, I will look into this most certainly!

      Allergy medication: cetirizine by the HealthA2Z is it gluten free?

      By ElisaAllergiesgluten · Posted

      Hello good afternoon, I was wondering if anyone has ever brought their anti-allergy pills? I have been wanting to use their Cetirizine HCI 10mg. They are called HealthA2Z and distributed by Allegiant Health.I’m also Asthmatic and these allergies are terrible for me but I also want to be sure they don’t have any sort of gluten compound.    I have tried calling them but to no avail. Has anyone ever used them? If so, did you had any problems or no problems at all?    thank you
