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).

      Hello, @Jordan Carlson, So glad you're feeling better. Tecta is a proton pump inhibitor. PPI's also interfere with the production of the intrinsic factor needed to absorb Vitamin B12. Increasing the amount of B12 you supplement has helped overcome the lack of intrinsic factor needed to absorb B12. Proton pump inhibitors also reduce the...

      In the study linked above, the little girl switched to a gluten free diet and gained enough weight that that fat pad was replenished and surgery was not needed.   Here's the full article link...

      Hello, @Jordan Carlson, So glad you're feeling better.   Tecta is a proton pump inhibitor.  PPI's also interfere with the production of the intrinsic factor needed to absorb Vitamin B12.  Increasing the amount of B12 you supplement has helped overcome the lack of intrinsic factor needed to absorb B12. Proton pump inhibitors also reduce the production of digestive juices (stomach acids).  This results in foods not being digested thoroughly.  If foods are not digested sufficiently, the vitamins and other nutrients aren't released from the food, and the body cannot absorb them.  This sets up a vicious cycle. Acid reflux and Gerd are actually symptoms of producing too little stomach acid.  Insufficient stomach acid production is seen with Thiamine and Niacin deficiencies.  PPI's like Tecta also block the transporters that pull Thiamine into cells, preventing absorption of thiamine.  Other symptoms of Thiamine deficiency are difficulty swallowing, gagging, problems with food texture, dysphagia. Other symptoms of Thiamine deficiency are symptoms of ADHD and anxiety.  Vyvanse also blocks thiamine transporters contributing further to Thiamine deficiency.  Pristiq has been shown to work better if thiamine is supplemented at the same time because thiamine is needed to make serotonin.  Doctors don't recognize anxiety and depression and adult onset ADHD as early symptoms of Thiamine deficiency. Stomach acid is needed to digest Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) in fruits and vegetables.  Ascorbic acid left undigested can cause intestinal upsets, anxiety, and heart palpitations.   Yes, a child can be born with nutritional deficiencies if the parents were deficient.  Parents who are thiamine deficient have offspring with fewer thiamine transporters on cell surfaces, making thiamine deficiency easier to develop in the children.  A person can struggle along for years with subclinical vitamin deficiencies.  Been here, done this.  Please consider supplementing with Thiamine in the form TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) which helps immensely with dysphagia and neurological symptoms like anxiety, depression, and ADHD symptoms.  Benfotiamine helps with improving intestinal health.  A B Complex and NeuroMag (a magnesium supplement), and Vitamin D are needed also.

      @pothosqueen, Welcome to the tribe! You'll want to get checked for nutritional deficiencies and start on supplementation of B vitamins, especially Thiamine Vitamin B 1.   There's some scientific evidence that the fat pad that buffers the aorta which disappears in SMA is caused by deficiency in Thiamine.   In Thiamine deficiency, the body burns its stored fat as a source of fuel.  That fat pad between the aorta and digestive system gets used as fuel, too. Ask for an Erythrocyte Transketolace Activity test to look for thiamine deficiency.  Correction of thiamine deficiency can help restore that fat pad.   Best wishes for your recovery!   Interesting Reading: Superior Mesenteric Artery Syndrome in a 6-Year-Old Girl with Final Diagnosis of Celiac Disease https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31089433/#:~:text=Affiliations,tissue and results in SMAS.

      Wow! You're pretty young to have a diagnosis of SMA syndrome. But youth also has its advantages when it comes to healing, without a doubt. You might be surprised to find out how your health improves and how much better you feel once you eliminate gluten from your diet. Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder that, when gluten is consumed, triggers an attack on the villous lining of the small bowel. This is the section of the intestines where all our nutrition is absorbed. It is made up of billions of tiny finger-like projections that create a tremendous surface area for absorbing nutrients. For the person with celiac disease, unchecked gluten consumption generates inflammation that wears down these fingers and, over time, greatly reduces the nutrient absorbing efficiency of the small bowel lining. This can generate a whole host of other nutrient deficiency related medical problems. We also now know that the autoimmune reaction to gluten is not necessarily limited to the lining of the small bowel such that celiac disease can damage other body systems and organs such as the liver and the joints and cause neurological problems.  It can take around two years for the villous lining to completely heal but most people start feeling better well before then. It's also important to realize that celiac disease can cause intolerance to some other foods whose protein structures are similar to gluten. Chief among them are dairy and oats but also eggs, corn and soy. Just keep that in mind.
