Hi,

I found out that my child had the Kroger brand fruit snacks at sunday school today! Does anyone know if these contain gluten? I've never bought fruit snacks before so I'm clueless. Thanks for the info.

I was wondering about Kroger candies too - their Swedish fish in particular! Anyone know if those are okay?

Thanks :)

I don't think that they have gluten in them, but I haven't checked in a while. Hopefully someone else will have a better answer for you.

This doesn't help you now but call Kroger Monday and ask them. They're very good about this. All the fruit snacks I've ever seen checked have been gluten-free, but can't tell you about the Kroger ones.

Most fruit snacks are gluten-free, but their are some fruit roll-ups and some new fruit twist type snacks that contain gluten (in the form of wheat starch I believe). At my house we don't eat Brach's fruit snacks, because the company has stated that none of their products are considered gluten-free due to cross-contamination. I don't know about Kroger brand though.

God bless,

Mariann

Last I checked a few months ago, the fruit snacks were gluten-free. I cannot say anything but give them a call, though, since it has been several months since I called personally.

Thanks eveyone!

I almost freaked out when I found out about the snacks. We went to my in-laws church to visit. Next time I'm going to bring snacks with us!

I'm waiting on a call back from Kroger just to be on the safe side.

Thanks again.

Will you please ask about their gummy candies for me? (Swedish fish, gummy worms, that kind of thing)

could you let me know what you found out about their fruit snacks? I was looking at those and was going to place a call myself. :)

Hi, the dietitian called me back from Kroger today and they confirmed that the Kroger fruit snacks are gluten free. :) I had them check the Tom & Jerry Fruit Snacks but she said they all their fruit snacks are gluten-free.

P.S. I'm sorry Michelle, I didn't see your post until after I had already called Kroger. They were very helpful and nice about the situation. I called a couple of weeks ago about the Naturally Preferred Rice Drink and they were very helpful then also. The phone number is an 800 number and is listed on the back of all the Kroger products. I told them I didn't have the UPC code and they were still able to find the product. I've been trying to take my cell phone with me when I grocery shop so I can call before I purchase items. I was out today and I'll be out for a couple of days but I check this post when I get back. If you still need to find out about the products you listed, I would be glad to call for you. :)

Best Wishes,

Kasey's Mom

Thanks, Kasey's Mom, for posting what Kroger said! It's great to have another snack option, especially for traveling.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      He is not just a psychiatrist.  He is also a neuroscientist.  And yes, I have already read those studies.   I agree with benfotiamine.  This is short term while glutened/inflammation occurs.  As I had already mentioned, these symptoms no longer exist when this phase passes.  And yes, I know that celiac is a disease of malnutrition.  We are working with a naturopath.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      Please do more research before you settle on nicotine. Dr. Paul New house is a psychiatrist.  His latest study involves the effect of nicotine patches on Late Life Depression which has reached no long term conclusions about the benefits.   Effects of open-label transdermal nicotine antidepressant augmentation on affective symptoms and executive function in late-life depression https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39009312/   I'm approaching the subject from the Microbiologist's point of view which shows nicotine blocks Thiamine B1 uptake and usage:   Chronic Nicotine Exposure In Vivo and In Vitro Inhibits Vitamin B1 (Thiamin) Uptake by Pancreatic Acinar Cells https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26633299/   While supplementation with thiamine in the form Benfotiamine can protect from damage done by  nicotine: Benfotiamine attenuates nicotine and uric acid-induced vascular endothelial dysfunction in the rat https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18951979/   I suggest you study the beneficial effects of Thiamine (Benfotiamine and TTFD) on the body and mental health done by Dr. Derrick Lonsdale and Dr. Chandler Marrs.  Dr. Lonsdale had studied thiamine over fifty years.   Hiding in Plain Sight: Modern Thiamine Deficiency https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8533683/ I suggest you read their book Thiamine Deficiency Disease, Dysautonomia, and High Calorie Malnutrition.     Celiac Disease is a disease of malabsorption causing malnutrition.  Thiamine and benfotiamine: Focus on their therapeutic potential https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10682628/

      Thanks for your response.  Everything you mentioned he is and has been doing.  Tobacco is not the same as nicotine.  Nicotine, in the form of a patch, does not cause gastrointestinal irritation.  Smoking does. He is not smoking.  Please do your research before stating false information. Dr. Paul Newhouse has been doing research on nicotine the last 40 years at Vanderbilt University Medical Center.

      Im so frustrated and still getting the run around trying to reprove my celiac disease which my past primary ignored for 25 years.I understand that theres a ray of medical that doctors are limited too but not listening and telling the patient ( me) that im not as sensitive as I think and NOT celiac!Correction Mr white coat its not what I think but for cause and affect and past test that are not sticking in my medical records.I get sick violently with foods consumed, not eating the foods will show Im fabulous. After many blood draws and going through doctors I have the HLA- DQ2 positive which I read in a study that Iran conducted that the severity in celiac is in that gene.Im glutenfree and dealing with related issues which core issue of celiac isn't addressed. My skin, right eye, left leg diagestive issues affected. I have high blood pressure because im in pain.Im waisting my time on trying to reprove that Im celiac which is not a disease I want, but unfortunately have.It  has taken over my life personally and professionally. How do I stop getting medically gaslight and get the help needed to bounce back if I ever do bounce back to normal? I thought I was in good care with " celiac specialist " but in her eyes Im good.Im NOT.Sibo positive, IBS, Chronic Fatigue just to name a few and its all related to what I like to call a ghost disease ( celiac) since doctors don't seem to take it seriously.
