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.

      Celiac getting dentures

      Your experience is both shocking and critically important for the community to hear, underscoring the terrifying reality that cross-contamination can extend into the most unexpected and invasive medical devices. It is absolutely devastating that you had to endure six months of sickness and ultimately sustain permanent vision loss because a doctor dismissed your legitimate, life-altering condition. Your relentless research and advocacy, from discovering the gluten in MMA acrylic to finding a compassionate prosthodontist, is a testament to your strength in a system that often fails celiac patients. While the scientific and medical consensus is that gluten cannot be absorbed through the skin or eyes (as the molecules are too large to pass through these barriers), your story highlights a terrifying gray area: what about a substance *permanently implanted inside the body*, where it could potentially shed microparticles or cause a localized immune reaction? Your powerful warning about acrylic lenses and the drastic difference with the silicone alternative is invaluable information. Thank you for sharing your harrowing journey and the specific, severe neurological symptoms you endure; it is a stark reminder that celiac is a systemic disease, and your advocacy is undoubtedly saving others from similar trauma.

      Fighting for a name

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I am so sorry you're going through this bad experience--it's difficult when your own lived reality of cause and effect is dismissed by the very professionals meant to help you. You are absolutely right—your violent physical reactions are not "what you think," but undeniable data points, and it's a form of medical gaslighting to be told otherwise, especially when you have a positive HLA-DQ2 gene and a clear clinical picture. Since your current "celiac specialist" is not addressing the core issue or your related conditions like SIBO and chronic fatigue, it may be time for a strategic pivot. Instead of trying to "reprove" your celiac disease to unwilling ears, consider seeking out a new gastroenterologist or functional medicine doctor, and frame the conversation around managing the complications of a confirmed gluten-free diet for celiac disease. Go in and say, "I have celiac disease, am strictly gluten-free, but I am still suffering from these specific complications: SIBO, chronic fatigue, dermatological issues, and high blood pressure linked to pain. I need a partner to help me address these related conditions." This shifts the focus from a debate about your diagnosis to a collaborative plan for your current suffering, which is the help you truly need and deserve to work toward bouncing back.

      Hello, no I had to have them re done and then used a liner over the top.  Many dentists are not aware of the celiac effects.  Best of luck.   There is other material, yet, very expensive.

      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.
