I was diagnosed about a month ago with having “many celiac markers” after specific blood tests and put on a gluten free diet. I’m reading everything I can about celiac disease and following a gluten free diet. If something is marked “gluten free” I still read the ingredients list, but safflower oil slipped by me on a bag of Apple Cinnamon Straws right after the diagnosis. They were delicious and I kind of enjoyed them too much. I ended up with cramping and diarrhea not making the connection with the safflower oil trying to figure out where I went wrong. Yesterday I ate maybe 12 and later had very mild intestinal cramping. No diarrhea, but going to the bathroom more than usual. I started checking the label more carefully Googling every ingredient and BAM…..negative explanations about safflower oil. I cam across Celiac.com, found more information and signed on to become a member.

My error it was sunflower oil not safflower oil…..sorry.  Joanne Palica
