Does anybody know, if strawberries from this company are gluten free?

I just receive a box of them. I can't have them because I have allergy to milk, but my husband can eat them, if they are safe ....

I just called them. The person didn't even knew what I'm talking about, so I told them I have allergy to wheat. She didn't knew, so she asked her manager. After wail she gave me the answer that it is gluten free.

So I think, it is safe.

I know this is an old thread but found it after I just received a box of Shari's Berries yesterday and one of the responses here is wrong as of 5/2016.  There was no ingredient info on their website so I called.  I was on hold for twenty minutes (it was Mother's Day!) and was finally told - after the person checked with her supervisor - that they are NOT gluten free.  If you search gluten free on their website - you get fruit baskets not the chocolate covered berries - another clue.  Would it have been so hard to include ingredient information? Or list in FAQs?

My husband and I received a box of these from a family member and the complete ingredients list was included in the box of strawberries, along with allergy warnings.  It appears that some of the dipped strawberries are gluten free and some are not.  There are versions that have a lot of stuff on the berries and some are just plain chocolate dipped.  I did not eat any because it was a mixed box so some of the berries were not gluten-free. 

I find it does not always pay to talk to someone at the company because they can be just as clueless as anyone else. I want to see ingredient lists myself. Then I can ask about shared lines, cleaning equipment, etc.  If I had been shipped a plain chocolate dipped version, I would have tried them but not when they are all mixed in with non-gluten-free versions.

      Waiting on biopsy after positive bloodwork, but also not really believing this is real

      By Alibu · Posted

      I was tested back in 2017 and my TTG-IGA was mildly elevated (an 11 with reference range <4) but my EMA was negative and biopsy was negative. Fast forward to 2 weeks ago where I was like y'know what, I still have so many symptoms and I'm always so sick, I should repeat this, thinking it was not going to be positive.  I also found out through 23 and me that I do have the HLA-DQ2.5 gene so I thought it would be good to repeat given my ongoing symptoms. Well my blood work came back with a ttg-iga level of 152.6 with a reference range of <15 and my EMA was positive and EMA titer was 1:10 with reference range of <1:5. I guess I'm nervous that I'm going to do the biopsy and it's going to be negative again, especially since I also had an endoscopy in 2020, not to look for celiac but just as a regular 5 year thing I do because of all my GI issues, and they didn't see anything then either. I have no idea how long the EMA has been positive but I'm wondering if it's very recent, if the biopsy will show damage and if so, if they'll say well the biopsy is the gold standard so it's not celiac? I of course am doing all the things to convince myself that it isn't real. Do a lot of people go through this? I think because back in 2017 my ttg-iga was elevated but not a huge amount and my EMA was negative and my biopsy was negative, I keep thinking this time it's going to be different. But this time my ttg-iga is 152.6 with reference range <15, and my EMA was positive. BUT, my titer is only 1:10 and I keep reading how most people here had a ttg-iga in the hundreds or thousands, and the EMA titer was much higher. So now I am convinced that it was a false positive and when they do the biopsy it'll be negative.

      Found coffee or coffee pods that contain gluten

      Welcome to the forum, @linnylou73! Are you claiming this based on a reaction or based upon actual testing?

      This varies a lot from person to person. I include foods that are not certified gluten-free but are labelled "gluten-free", while super sensitive people only use certified gluten-free. Both types of products have been found to contain gluten, so there are no guarantees either way: It you are in the super sensitive group, eating a whole foods based diet where you prepare everything is the safest bet, but it's also difficult. Eating out is the the most risky, even if a restaurant has a gluten-free menu. I also include items that are naturally gluten-free, for example refried beans, tuna, pasta sauces, salsas, etc., which have a low overall risk of contamination.
