Toffifay

I got a box of Toffifay for my B-Day. I have eaten it a few times in my 7 months gluten free.

I popped one in my mouth as I turned the box over to read as it has never had wheat in it before.

This box says contains glucose syrup from wheat or corn.

So I didn't eat any more.

But I didn't feel sick and never have from them.

I don't wanna give up this treat.

But I want to be safe.

Does anyone eat them?

I googled and find some sites say they are gluten free because the amt. of gluten is far below allowable leves.

Is this just a CYA statement?

Can I eat my Toffifay?

Opinions please :huh:

I think I just answered my own question.

I'm eating them.

Want to know if anyone else does?

They are delicious.

Shelly Case said glucose syrup even if derived from wheat is gluten free.

Wha Hoo!

Oh my gosh...it is a yummy wonderful little candy made by the Storck Company of Germany.

It is shaped like a half circle...and it has a super thin caramel shell filled with chocolate cream with one whole hazelnut inside and dollop of dark chocolate on top. It's all the good stuff wrapped in one bite.

Melts in your mouth and warms your soul.

Hope you can find it there!

Oh! just great! Another, super delicious, full fat & calorie gluten-free treat! :o

I'm actually happy for you, it's me who doesn't need to know about these.

Happy Birthday, a day late. Glad you were able to enjoy. I'll have to grab some of those next I shop as they sound really good.

Thanks Ravenwood!

Go get yourself a box for Mother's Day!

They are in Walmart, Walgreens, CVS, and even 7-Elevens!

That's my favorite and you will love them. Hope you tell me bout your reaction...

to the chocolate treasure I mean!

It actually says they contain wheat in the allergy information section, but I think the wheat protein is not present. If I hadn't been given them, I wouldn't have bought them, with wheat being on the label. I'm glad I researched. Apparently in Europe they often process their glucose syrup from wheat....but the gluten is gone by the time it reaches the end product.

That is what I'm believing until someone posts that they got sick from Toffifay!!

Thanks for letting me know about that. Actually I think I will pass on these personally. I know they say that the gluten is gone by the time all the processing is done but they say the same about distilled gluten grains and I definately react to those. May not effect all of us but for me they are out. :(

      results from 13 day gluten challenge - does this mean I can't have celiac?

      @catnapt, Wheat germ contains high amounts of lectins which are really hard to digest and can be irritating to the digestive tract. They can stimulate IgG antibody production as your blood test shows. Even beans have lectins. You've simply eaten too many lectins and irritated your digestive tract. You may want to allow your digestive tract...

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      I take Now B-1 (100 mg) Thiamine Hydrochloride, and Amazing Formulas L-Tryptophan (1000 mg). Both are gluten free and free of other allergens. I've taken them for a long time and haven't had a problem with them. I take Vitamin A from BioTech called "A-25". It's gluten and allergen free and made in the USA. It's a powder form of Vitamin A. ...

      I wouldn't consider this lucky. I can NOT tolerate the symptoms. And I googled it and I was not even getting 10 grams of gluten per day and I was extremely ill. They'd have to put me in the hospital. I'm not kidding. I will have my first appt with a GI dr on March 4th I will not eat gluten again - at least not on purpose ...

      @catnapt,  Wheat germ contains high amounts of lectins which are really hard to digest and can be irritating to the digestive tract.  They can stimulate IgG antibody production as your blood test shows.   Even beans have lectins.  You've simply eaten too many lectins and irritated your digestive tract.   You may want to allow your digestive tract to rest for a week, then start on gluten in "normal" food, not in concentrated vital wheat gluten. This explains it well: Lectins, agglutinins, and their roles in autoimmune reactivities https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/25599185/

      I take Now B-1 (100 mg) Thiamine Hydrochloride, and Amazing Formulas L-Tryptophan (1000 mg).   Both are gluten free and free of other allergens.  I've taken them for a long time and haven't had a problem with them. I take Vitamin A from BioTech called "A-25".  It's gluten and allergen free and made in the USA.  It's a powder form of Vitamin A.  I was having trouble digesting fats at one point, but found I tolerated the powder form much better and have stuck with it since.   Tryptophan and Vitamin A help heal the intestines as well as improves skin health.  I get Dermatitis Herpetiformis and eczema flairs when my stomach is upset.  So I'm healing the outside as well as the inside.   I take one 1000 mg Tryptophan before bedtime.   With the Thiamine HCl, take 100 mg to start.  If you don't notice anything, three hours later take another. You can keep increasing your dose in this manner until you do notice improvement.  Remember not to take it in the evening so it won't keep you too energized to sleep. When I first started Thiamine HCl, taking 500 mg to 1000 mg to start was recommended.  If you've been thiamine insufficient for a while, you do notice a big difference.  It's like the start of a NASCAR race: Zoom, Zoom, turn it up!   This scared or made some people uncomfortable, but it's just your body beginning to function properly, like putting new spark plugs in your engine.  I took 1000 mg all at once without food.  It kicked in beautifully, but I got a tummy ache, so take with food.  I added in Thiamine TTFD and Benfotiamine weeks later and felt like I was Formula One racing.  So cool.  You may feel worse for a couple days as your body adjusts to having sufficient thiamine.  Feels sort of like you haven't cranked your engine for a while and it backfires and sputters, but it will settle down and start purring soon enough.  Adjust your dose to what feels right for you, increasing your dose as long as you feel improvement.  You can reach a plateau, so stay there for several days, then try bumping it up again.  If no more improvements happen, you can stay at the plateau amount and experiment with increasing your Thiamine TTFD.  It's like being your own lab rat.  LoL Yes, take one Benfotiamine at breakfast and one at lunch.  Take the B Complex at breakfast. Take the TTFD at breakfast and lunch as well.  I like to take the vitamins at the beginning of meals and the NeuroMag at the end of meals.   You may want to add in some zinc.  I take Thorne Zinc 30 mg at breakfast at the beginning of the meal.   Are you getting sufficient Omega Threes?  Our brains are made up mostly of fat.  Flaxseed oil supplements, sunflower seed oil supplements (or eat the seeds themselves) can improve that.  Cooking with extra virgin olive oil, avocado oil, or coconut oil is also helpful.   @Wheatwacked likes phosphotidyl choline supplements for his Omega Threes.  He's also had dramatic health improvement by supplementing thiamine.  You're doing great!  Thank you for sharing your journey with us.  This path will smooth out.  Keep going!
