Kirkland Jelly Bellies

Jelly Bellies are a yummy treat for me, and I know that they are 100% gluten free. Costco sells a 4 lb. tub of them. I haven't had them in awhile, so naturally I read the label to make sure they were still safe for me. The ingredients are still gluten free, but under allergy information it says, "This product is packaged on equipment that also packages products that contain peanuts, tree nuts, wheat, soybeans, eggs, and milk." Noooo! :o

I can't remember if that was always on the package or not. Can I still eat them? Has anybody else had a similar situation?

I personally wouldn't eat them because of how they were packaged. I imagine that it's only those particular ones as other Jelly Belly's don't have that warning. Sad, I've never looked at the package there but it's depressing to know.

Maybe the ones we get are from a different place, but ours has on the pack that they are gluten free.

If you get name brand Jellie Bellies those are safe. I have at times gotten the less expensive jelly beans from store brands and sometimes they are okay but other times I have gotten quite ill from them.

They ARE the brand name Jelly Belly. I thinking that Kirkland gets them in huge bulk, then repackages them. I'm leaning toward Adalaide's suggestion, which is just to avoid them. I'll continue to enjoy Jelly Bellies that aren't packaged by Costco.

Thanks goodness! Jelly Bellies are my favourite candy and I have put off looking at the label (and buying them) because I was afraid I'd see wheat listed.

... It's probably better if I don't buy the Costco sized portion anyways! :lol:

      Welcome to the forum, @Ben98! If you have been consciously or unconsciously avoiding gluten because of the discomfort it produces then it is likely that your blood antibody testing for celiac disease has been rendered invalid. Valid testing requires regular consumption of generous amounts of gluten. The other strong possibility is that you have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) which shares many of the same symptoms with celiac disease but does not have the autoimmune component and thus does not damage the small bowel lining. It is 10x mor common than celiac disease. There is currently no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out. Some experts in the field believe it can be a precursor to the development of celiac disease. Having one or both of the primary genes for developing celiac disease does not imply that you will develop active celiac disease. It simply establishes the potential for it. About 40% of the population has the genetic potential but only about 1% develop active celiac disease.

      TTG blood test and total IGA tested on many occasions which have always remained normal, upper GI pain under my ribs since 2022. I had an endoscopy in 2023 which showed moderate gastritis. no biopsy’s were taken unfortunately. genetic test was positive for HLADQ2. extreme bloating after eating gluten, it’ll feel like I’ve got bricks in my stomach so uncomfortably full. the pain is like a dull ache under the upper left almost like a stitch feeling after a long walk. I am just wanting some advice has anyone here experienced gastritis with a gluten issue before? thank you

      "Conclusions: The urinary iodine level was significantly lower in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis, and iodine replacement may be important in preventing osteoporosis"  Body iodine status in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis Low iodine can cause thyroid problems, but Iodine deficiency will not show up in thyroid tests.  Iodine is important for healing, its job is to kill off defective and aging cells (Apoptosis). Skin, brain fog, nails, muscle tone all inproved when I started taking 600 mcg (RDA 150 - 1000 mcg) of Liquid Iodine drops. Some with dermatitis herpetiformis, Iodine exacerbates the rash.  I started at 1 drop (50 mcg) and worked up to 12 drops, but I don't have dermatitis herpetiformis.

      Thank you so much for sharing your experience and I found myself giggling with happiness as I read how your body reached such spring! And I hope that your current journey is also successful!! Definitely starting the food diary! So many amazing advices. And it’s very scary. It really hits all our soft spots as well as our confidence system. Most doctors I went thought I was underage despite being in my late 20s. Right now I look like am I twelve, but is also this body that’s taking so much, so I might as well love it too! Going to make the necessary changes and stay in this path. Thank you again! 🫶
