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. :(

      Finding out I’m coeliac whilst pregnant

      By Beverage · Posted

      Sounds like you are in the UK. With blood numbers that high, I thought docs in UK would give an official diagnosis without the biopsy. You should ask about that, so you can get support faster.  I'd try to find and print out anything that supports that in your country, get another appointment and take all of it with you. Even in the US now, some docs are doing this, my 19 year old step granddaughter got an official diagnosis here in US with just blood results a few months ago.

      Seeking Gluten-Free Advice for My Trip to South Korea!

      By Beverage · Posted

      Is soy sauce in Korea also made from wheat like it usually is in US? I'd be concerned that even if asking about gluten, they would not be aware of or think of some like that.

      Not Sure What to Think

      By trents · Posted

      That's a good idea. It can at least establish the potential for developing celiac disease and can help people decided between a celiac diagnosis and NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity). And it doesn't require a gluten challenge and can be had without a doctor's prescription.

      Anyone had endoscopy with a cold/cough???

      By awright24 · Posted

      I have my endoscopy on Thursday, has anyone had the procedure done with a cough? I don't have a continuous cough, but every now and then throughout the day I have sort of coughing episodes. They are a lot better than they were but I called endoscopy and they said to speak to my gp and my gp got back to me and said I need to ask endoscopy if its ok if I have it done still.  Help!

      Not Sure What to Think

      Thank you so much, everyone. For the moment my doctor just has me taking iron but hopefully we can reconnect soon. I'm going to look into genetic testing, too. Great advice all around and I appreciate it--and you can bet I'm going off the PPIs!
