HA! That almost happened to me at Henry's! My husband grabbed the gluten free $5 marshmallows and said look honey these are gluten free... I picked up the regular ones and so were they :)

Live and learn!

Kraft and campfire marshmallows are gluten free.

I've never seen marshmallows with gluten in them.

If you haven't opened them already take them back. Regular old marshmallows are gluten-free.

I seem to remember the same thing happening with "fat free" a few years back. Foods that had NEVER contained fat were suddenly advertising themselves as fat free. Just a way to cash in on diet de jour. With the new publicity for gluten free brought about by fad dieters, we will probably see more opportunists.

To me, it's OK to advertise fat free or gluten free on something that was that way anyway, but when you start charging an outrageous price for an item that you can get free of "whatever" for a normal price, that's wrong.

GRRR! We have had a bag of marshmallows burning a whole in our pantry. Today we decided we would roast them on the fireplace. While I don't see gluten on the list, Wegmans brand puts a G F in a circle for gluten-free stuff. I see no circle! I wonder if it could be a CC issue? As in gluten isn't an ingrediant, but they warn about CC? I could so go for roasted marshmallows!

Wegmans is pretty cautious and very trustworthy. If you call their toll free number they will be able to answer your question. As for myself if it doesn't have the circle G and it is not a single ingredient item like ground coffee I don't consume.

      Sorry, I think I got you mixed up with another poster.

      I hadn't been eating gluten free before having the antibody test done. I started eating gluten free after having the test done because the gastro PA told me to eat gluten-free for 6 months. I'm now 3 months in.

      I tend to agree with RMJ. Your doc took the reasonable and practical approach to diagnosis. All things considered, it was the right way to go. However, if you have first degree relatives that show signs of possible celiac disease, urge them to get formally tested before they start the gluten free diet.

      It sounds like you have a very reasonable GI doctor, who diagnosed you based on family history and symptoms after eating gluten. I would consider you lucky! The other option would be to make yourself very sick by doing weeks of a gluten challenge prior to an endoscopy.
