Kraft Carmels


jams

Recommended Posts

jams Explorer

I was at Walgreens today picking up my pictures. My 4yr old daughter spotted the carmels by the Halloween candy. I was very sad because I thought I couldn't have them. I then noticed that they are made by Kraft (so nothing will be hidden). I read the ingredients and they seem to be fine!! :D

I am so excited to open them all and melt them. I then will dunk my apple in and ENJOY! It is so funny that I am back to "the simple things in life"! :P

:D Yum, I think I will do the same. Do you know of any candy corn that is gluten-free?

I picked up the ingredients yesterday - we're making them tomorrow.... if we have any caramels left! *i bought three bags, so there will be enough*

Candy corn? I wish. Brach's is sort of probably most likely :P gluten-free, but they claim that they aren't due to possible contamination. I never know what to do in those instances. Being cautious, I have not eaten them. Haven't heard of any BIG brand that you could find in any store being gluten-free.

My son eats the brachs and has no problem. I called a couple years ago and they said they were gluten free.... Was I playing russian roulette with the boy??? :o

Today they told me that Brachs candy corn had 20 parts per millions whatever that means. The ingredients are gluten-free but cross contamination is a possibility in their facility they said.

Someone told me to that Farley's candy corn is gluten-free. I bought some yesterday and there is a statement about possible cross contamination. I ate some anyway!

      Celiac disease is the most likely cause, but here are articles about the other possible causes:

      Hi @Atl222 As @trents points out, there could be many reasons for this biopsy result.  I am interested to know, is your gastroenterologist concerned?  Also, are your blood tests showing steady improvement over the years? I remember when I had my last biopsy, several years after diagnosis, mine came back with with raised lymphocytes but no villous damage, too! In my own case, my consultant wasn't remotely concerned - in fact, he said I might still get this result even if all I ever did was eat nothing but rice and water.   My coeliac blood tests were still steadily improving, albeit slowly, which was reassuring.

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @Atl222! Yes, your increased lymphocytes could be in response to oats or it could possibly be cross contamination from gluten that is getting into your diet from some unexpected source but not enough to damage the villi. And I'm certain that increased lymphocytes can be caused by other things besides celiac disease or gluten/oats exposure. See attachment. But you might try eliminating oats to start with and possibly dairy for a few months and then seek another endoscopy/biopsy to see if there was a reduction in lymphocyte counts.

      This is a solid, well-reasoned approach. You’re right that “koji” by itself doesn’t indicate gluten status, and the risk really does come down to which grain is used to culture it. The fact that you directly contacted Eden Foods and received a clear statement that their koji is made from rice only, with no wheat or barley, is meaningful due diligence—especially since Eden has a long-standing reputation for transparency. While the lack of gluten labeling can understandably give pause, manufacturer confirmation like this is often what people rely on for traditionally fermented products. As always, trusting your body after trying it is reasonable, but based on the information you gathered, your conclusion makes sense.
