I trust them in that if they put it on the gluten-free list -- which they did -- that in fact means the product is not meant to have gluten and has no known gluten. Could there be cross contamination? Can't tell you. That's a chance we often take when we eat something processed. It's a fact of life.

As for the chips, I'm not certain whether you mean potato chips from a bag like in the U.S. or something else. With chips from a a bag there's often the chance of cross contamination. If it's a chip cooked locally in oil, was the oil also used for a gluten containing product?

On their page with the 'no gluten source' 'trace gluten' and 'has gluten' lists I found the following which makes me wonder if they know what gluten is. How could a confection called 'barley sugar' be listed under the 'no gluten source'? I think I shall pass on Cadbury chocolates.

According to what I read, TRUE barley sugar is made with extract of barley, which indicates to me it probably doesn't carry over the poisonous effects. In addition, some manufacturers make something they call barley sugar or barley sugar candy without actually using barley. IOW, it's quite possible that Cadbury's barley sugar is indeed gluten-free.

      Definitely worth speaking to your gastroenterologist about this. My own told me that by using Gaviscon a barrier forms over the contents of the stomach and stops gas and acid irritating the throat.  In fact, he said to me that because I found relief using Gaviscon that was a very clear indicator that reflux was the cause of that particular issue.   A wedge pillow will really help with this - or raising the top bed legs with bricks.

      I did get the pneumonia vaccine about 4 years ago. I had this amazing allergist who did all those vitamin deficiencies test and told to get that vaccine. Unfortunately she retired.  I haven’t been to an allergist in a few years,  I’m not sure what my levels are now. I did have a pulmonologist who wasn’t concern and said I seemed fine to him that I was young etc. But yes I think I should at the very least get a different opinion. Thank you for your reply

      Yes I do have acid reflux. I’m not on anything for it at the moment. I sometimes wonder if that’s what it could be because I get heart burn every night. I may revisit my gastrointestinal doctor again. Thanks for the reply

      Hi @HelloFlowersGoodbyeFlour I wonder if you suffer from reflux, as if you do, you may find it could also be irritating your airways.  I shall explain: I have to use a blue inhaler from time to time, and it seems to be related to reflux.  Never had any trouble before my coeliac diagnosis, the reflux seemed to be something that developed following a holiday to France in 2019, where I had been exposed to gluten.    The reflux continued into the autumn and winter, my throat itched to begin with, particularly after meals, but it then that feeling of irritation seemed to spread to my lungs.  I even found it difficult to breathe on occasion. What stopped it in its tracks was using a wedge pillow at night, following a reflux diet (you can find them online), not eating 2-4 hours before bed and also having a dose of Gaviscon Advanced at night, which forms a barrier so that acid/food can't go back up your esophagus.  The throat irritation faded, and then I found it easier to breathe again. Just mentioning in case it could be a contributing factor.

      Since initially getting your D checked a few years ago, has it since rebounded to normal levels? Sounds like at some point you got it checked again.
