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.

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. :(

      You might consider asking for a referral to a RD (Registered Dietician) to help with food choices and planning a diet. Even apart from any gluten issues, you will likely find there are some foods you need to avoid because of the shorter bowel but you may also find that your system may make adjustments over time and that symptoms may improve.

      I wish Dr’s would have these discussions with their patients. So frustrating but will continue to do research. Absolutely love this website. I will post any updates on my testing and results. Thank you

      Small Bowel Resection 12 inches

      Losing 12" of your small bowel is going to present challenges for you in nutritional uptake because you are losing a significant amount of nutritional absorption surface area. You will need to focus on consuming foods that are nutritionally dense and also probably look at some good supplements. If indeed you are having issues with gluten you will need to...

      Small Bowel Resection 12 inches

      There are two gluten-related disorders that share many of the same symptoms but differ in nature from each other. One is known as celiac disease or "gluten intolerance". By nature, it is an autoimmune disorder, meaning the ingestion of gluten triggers the body to attack it's own tissues, specifically the lining of the small bowel. This attack causes...

      Losing 12" of your small bowel is going to present challenges for you in nutritional uptake because you are losing a significant amount of nutritional absorption surface area. You will need to focus on consuming foods that are nutritionally dense and also probably look at some good supplements. If indeed you are having issues with gluten you will need to educate yourself as to how gluten is hidden in the food supply. There's more to it than just avoiding the major sources of gluten like bread and pasta. It is hidden in so many things you would never expect to find it in like canned tomato soup and soy sauce just to name a few. It can be in pills and medications.  Also, your "yellow diarrhea, constipation and bloating" though these are classic signs of a gluten disorder, could also be related to the post surgical shorter length of your small bowel causing incomplete processing/digestion of food.

      There are two gluten-related disorders that share many of the same symptoms but differ in nature from each other. One is known as celiac disease or "gluten intolerance". By nature, it is an autoimmune disorder, meaning the ingestion of gluten triggers the body to attack it's own tissues, specifically the lining of the small bowel. This attack causes inflammation and produces antibodies that can be detected in the blood by specific tests like the TTG-IGA test you had. Over time, if gluten is not withheld, this inflammation can cause severe damage to the lining of the small bowel and even result in nutrient deficiency related health issues since the small bowel lining is organ where all the nutrition found in our food is absorbed.  The other is NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity or just "gluten sensitivity") which we know less about and are unsure of the exact mechanism of action. It is not an autoimmune disorder and unlike celiac disease it does not damage the lining of the small bowel, though, like celiac disease, it can cause GI distress and it can also do other kinds of damage to the body. It is thought to be more common than celiac disease. Currently, we cannot test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out to arrive at a diagnosis of NCGS. Both disorders require elimination of gluten from the diet.  Either of these disorders can find their onset at any stage of life. We know that celiac disease has a genetic component but the genes are inactive until awakened by some stress event. About 40% of the general population has the genetic potential to develop celiac disease but only about 1% develop active celiac disease. The incidence of NCGS is thought to be considerably higher. I hope this helps.
