Meadow Gold Is Making Me Mad!

I emailed that company to find out if their Fudge Bars contain any gluten. There is none listed in the ingredients but I've heard so many things about fudgesicles, I wanted to make sure. First they email me back with a very SHORT list of gluten free items, NONE of which are ice cream or desserts, but just things like cottage cheese and milk! So, I try again, asking for the FUDGE BARS. Then I get another reply saying "those are made in Orem Utah, and the plant in Orem Utah can answer your questions regarding that product", with NO CONTACT INFORMATION whatsoever for this Orem Utah PLANT! I am so annoyed at this point, I think I will just not purchase any Meadow Gold products whatsoever. I just came on here to vent basically, so thanks. There are so many companies that CARE, when I ask them about gluten free products they immediately provide me with a list and any information I need. When I come across a company that just doesn't GET IT, I feel like I'm banging my head against a wall. So, I guess I'm looking for a gluten free fudgesicle now, any one know of any? :P

Don't know where you live but Blue Bunny appears to be gluten-free. On the website, they list all the ingredients & at the bottom they list wheat if its in it. Checked the chocolate malt flavor treat & it doesn't list barley at the bottom with the allergens but it is clearly marked in the ingredient list as malted barley extract.

Wow. I received an email finally from a different person at Meadow Gold, and she attached a list of their gluten-free items. On this list, I found both Krunch ice cream bars AND mint chocolate chip ice cream sandwiches!! I emailed right back and questioned the accuracy of this list, and while she admitted right away that the ice cream sandwiches were an error, she still believed the Krunch ice cream bars were gluten free. However, she did get back to me later and admit that they were NOT. She did say the fudge bars are gluten free. I am feeling a little nervous about eating anything from them now, though.

      Waiting on biopsy after positive bloodwork, but also not really believing this is real

      @Alibu, Migraines ran in my family as well.  Correcting my Thiamine insufficiency made a dramatic improvement in frequency and duration.   If you take Thiamine, B12 and B6 together, they have analgesic (pain relieving) properties.  Taking thiamine every day has cut down on their occurrence and severity for me.   Take Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine or TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide).  These forms get into the brain easily.  Magnesium Threonate gets into the brain easily, too, and helps thiamine work.  My gave a sigh of relief when I first took it, and no migraines. Yes, lowering histamine levels helps one feel better, too.  Vitamin C and B12 help reduce histamine.  A low histamine...

      Refractory Celiac disease - what to do

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @ehb   Great you're going to start the AIP diet!  I know it's scary and stressful, but you'll soon start feeling better.  It's a challenge, but you can make it.  Do ask for a Erythrocyte Transketolace test which tests for Thiamine level.   I hope your Vitamin D level is between 70 and 100 nmol/L.  In this optimal range, Vitamin D can act like a hormone and regulate the immune system.  Vitamin D 3 is the form that the body can utilize well.  I was prescribed the synthetic firm D2 and my body didn't like it.  I know getting my Vitamin D up in the eighties made a world of difference to me.  My depression improved and I felt so much better at higher levels.   I prefer Life Extension brand for many vitamins. ...

      Refractory Celiac disease - what to do

      By ehb · Posted

      @knitty kitty I have an appointment to go over the results tomorrow. Vitamin D was in the normal range. I’ve decided to start the gluten contamination elimination diet, while avoiding nightshades as recommended by the AIP. I am still hoping to get support from a nutritionist or advice from the doctor about supplements to make sure I’m getting enough nutrients. I’m still having a hard time sorting through all of the different brands and possible combinations

      confirmed via biopsy, quite depressed

      We've definitely all had such thoughts.  But as Scott says, it does get easier with time.  I'm not sure where you are posting from but in England where I live, over the last ten years or so most things I missed at first now have gluten free substitutes.   I still miss Twix bars, and chocolate Penguins (a type of biscuit) but I'm hoping sooner or later someone will create a decent substitute for them! One thing that I remember my husband said to me when I was feeling down one day  was: "Why don't you try to think of all the things you can still eat, rather than the things you can't?"  The list is long, and it did help - sort of!

      Quaker Instant Grits, gluten-free?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It looks like they are naturally gluten-free, but not labeled gluten-free. https://www.quakeroats.com/products/hot-cereals/grits/instant-grits-plain
