Dumdum Lollipops?


VydorScope

Recommended Posts

On Sunday my son got somthing that had gluten in it. Talking with the Sunday school teacher about it she said he had his gluten-free rice crackers, His Kroger apple juice and a Dumdum lollipop. I can not seem to find anything usefull on the dumdum site, does anyone know if they are gluten-free?

I personaly suspect he somehow got in to thier playdough or somthing along those lines,. His teacher is a diabetic so she understands food restrictions and I doubt she slipped him anything.

The only unknow food was the Dumdum's so I figure I better check... just can not seem to find anything worth mentioning on thier site.

my daughter has dumdums with no problems. I found out they were gluten-free off of a list for Halloween candy that would be safe.

Now, if they played with playdough, that most def. could be the culprit. Even if he just touched a table or toy that the playdough had been on, and he then put his fingers in his mouth, or something along those lines. My daughter breaks out in a terrible rash when she is exposed to playdough so I have had to provide her classroom at school with gluten-free dough that I made and I also provided it to her sunday school class. They got rid of the non gluten-free play dough and made sure all of the toys were washed thoroughly.

I made some gluten-free playdough for them, from a recipe some one here gave me (forget already, sorrY!), and just gave it to them this week, but suspect we will have to clean the toys there, planning to voleenteer to do that next weekend.

Dum dums are indeed gluten-free.

I eat dumdums whenever we have science tests instead of donughts. Much better choice anyway becasue I get 10 dum dums for every donught people get :)

I do not have celiac disease, but my son does. DumDums do not bother him. Stick is paper, and paper is not made from wheat as I recall its made from wood.

      Hello everyone. I am Elena and am 38 years old. I suspect I have a gluten intolerance even if my celiac panel is ok. I have the following symptoms : facial flushing, Red dots not bumps în face, bloating abdominal distension, hair loss, depression anxiety even with meds and even bipolar. Fatigue extreme to the point of not being able to work. All of these after I eat gluten. Could I have non celiac gluten sensitivity? Thanks anyone else with these symptoms?

      Hi Everyone,  I do appreciate your replies to my original post.   Here is where I am now in this journey.  I am currently seeing a Naturopath.  One thing I did not post before is that I take Esomeprazole for GERD.  My Naturopath believes that the decrease in the gastric acid has allowed the yeast to grow.    She has put me on some digestive enzymes.  She also put me on Zinc, Selenium, B 12, as she felt that I was not absorbing my vitamins. I am about 5 weeks into this treatment, and I am feeling better. I did not have any trouble taking the Fluconazole.

      I'm sure it's chemically perfect. Most of them taste lousy!

      Hi @JulieRe.  I just found your post.  It seems that I am also experiencing thrush, and my doctor believes that I have fungal overgrowth in my gut, which is most likely candida.  I'm seeing my GI doctor next week, so I'm hoping she can diagnose and confirm this and then give me an antifungal treatment.  In the meantime, I have been working with a functional medicine doctor, doing a candida cleanse and taking vitamins. It's already helping to make me feel better (with some ups and downs, of course), so I do think the yeast is definitely a problem for me on top of my celiac disease and I'm hoping my GI doctor can look into this a bit further.  So, how about you?  Did the candida come back, or is it still gone following your fluconazole treatment?  Also, was it awful to take fluconazole?  I understand that taking an antifungal can cause a reaction that sometimes makes people feel sick while they're taking it.  I hope you're doing better still !

      I'm so sorry you're going through this—the "gluten challenge" is notoriously brutal, and it's awful to deliberately make yourself sick when you've already found the answer. For the joint pain, many people find that over-the-counter anti-inflammatories like ibuprofen can help take the edge off, and using heating pads or warm baths can provide some direct relief for the aches. For the digestive misery, stick to simple, easy-to-digest foods (like plain rice, bananas, and bone broth) and drink plenty of water and electrolytes to stay hydrated. It feels like the longest month ever, but you are doing the right thing to get a clear diagnosis, which can be crucial for your long-term health and getting the proper care. Hang in there; you can get through this! This article, and the comments below it, may be helpful:
