Here is the responce I received when asking about the gluten free possibility with this product. I did note on the label there were a couple items specifically noted (gluten free) by the ingredient. Here is there letter. (I did just ask yesterday...despite the date on the letter)

Consumers with Sensitivity to Gluten Guidelines

August 22, 2005

The apples, caramel and all of the constituent ingredients from which our caramel is made, are completely gluten-free. Most of the toppings applied to our apple products are also completely gluten-free. For Affy Tapple, these include peanuts and confectionary

contain gluten. Cookie-piece flavors and pretzels must be avoided by those sensitive to gluten. The Affy -free ingredients are shown in the table below. Products manufactured from gluten-free ingredients Affy Tapple plain Affy Tapple peanut Affy Tapple sprinkle (all colors) Mrs. Prindables Triple Chocolate Mrs. Prindables Milk Chocolate Pecan Mrs. Prindables Milk Chocolate Walnut/Pecan Mrs. Prindables Milk Chocolate Walnut Mrs. Prindables Milk Chocolate Toffee Walnut Mrs. Prindables White Chocolate Cherry Mrs. Prindables Dark Chocolate Cashew Mrs. Prindables Bride and Groom Mrs. Prindables 4Pak Apple Gift (assorted chocolates and/or nuts) CAUTIONS While the items listed above are manufactured from gluten-free ingredients, the plant in which they are produced also produces products from ingredients that do contain gluten. Thus there is a possibility that trace quantities of gluten may be entrained in otherwise gluten-free products, through the air or other migration paths.

      @xxnonamexx, There's labeling on those Trubar gluten free high fiber protein bars that say: "Manufactured in a facility that also processes peanuts, milk, soy, fish, WHEAT, sesame, and other tree nuts." You may want to avoid products made in shared facilities.   If you are trying to add more fiber to your diet to ease constipation, considering eating more leafy green vegetables and cruciferous vegetables.  Not only are these high in fiber, they also are good sources of magnesium.  Many newly diagnosed are low in magnesium and B vitamins and suffer with constipation.  Thiamine Vitamin B1 and magnesium work together.  Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine has been shown to improve intestinal health.  Thiamine and magnesium are important to gastrointestinal health and function.

      Welcome to celiac.com @sha1091a! Your experience is a very common one. Celiac disease is one the most underdiagnosed and misdiagnosed medical conditions out there. The reasons are numerous. One key one is that its symptoms mimic so many other diseases. Another is ignorance on the part of the medical community with regard to the range of symptoms that celiac disease can produce. Clinicians often are only looking for classic GI symptoms and are unaware of the many other subsystems in the body that can be damaged before classic GI symptoms manifest, if ever they do. Many celiacs are of the "silent" variety and have few if any GI symptoms while all along, damage is being done to their bodies. In my case, the original symptoms were elevated liver enzymes which I endured for 13 years before I was diagnosed with celiac disease. By the grace of God my liver was not destroyed. It is common for the onset of the disease to happen 10 years before you ever get a diagnosis. Thankfully, that is slowly changing as there has developed more awareness on the part of both the medical community and the public in the past 20 years or so. Blessings!

      @EndlessSummer, You said you had an allergy to trees.  People with Birch Allergy can react to green beans (in the legume family) and other vegetables, as well as some fruits.  Look into Oral Allergy Syndrome which can occur at a higher rate in Celiac Disease.   Switching to a low histamine diet for a while can give your body time to rid itself of the extra histamine the body makes with Celiac disease and histamine consumed in the diet.   Vitamin C and the eight B vitamins are needed to help the body clear histamine.   Have you been checked for nutritional deficiencies?

      I found out the age of 68 that I am a celiac. When I was 16, I had my gallbladder removed when I was 24 I was put on a medication because I was told I had fibromyalgia.   going to Doctor’s over many years, not one of them thought to check me out for celiac disease. I am aware that it only started being tested by bloodwork I believe in the late 90s, but still I’m kind of confused why my gallbladder my joint pain flatulent that I complained of constantly was totally ignored. Is it not something that is taught to our medical system? It wasn’t a Doctor Who asked for the test to be done. I asked for it because of something I had read and my test came back positive. My number was quite high.Are there other people out here that had this kind of problems and they were ignored?

      Welcome to celiac.com, @EndlessSummer! Do you react to all vegetables or just specific kinds or families of them? What you describe with green beans sounds like it has an anaphylaxis component. Like you, walnuts are a problem for me. They will often give me a scratchy throat so I try to avoid them. Does it matter if the vegies are raw or will-cooked in how you react to them?
