Hey all,

Has anyone ever had issues with Klondike bars? I'm only GF (I do not have to be lactose/casein-free), and I had a Reese's Klondike bar on Sunday evening, and I was in a *world* of hurt...plus, not to be gross, but everything else I ate that day went right through me...

To back-track, I had some homemade GF artichoke dip with GF rice crackers, and then some plain grilled chicken that was cooked on a clean grill. I had a spoonful of roasted veggies and that was pretty much it. I'm wondering if it was just too much "soft" dairy at once for me...as the artichoke dip did have a significant amount of cheese in it...

Did you call the manufacturer to get the GF status? Who is the manufacturer?

Klondike is a Unilever brand:

Quote:
Is there Gluten in your products?:

* Unilever Ice Cream is a member of the Food Allergy & Anaphylaxis Network and the Food Allergy Resource and Research Program.
* We recommend consumers read the label each time before buying our product.
* If gluten is present, it is clearly listed in plain language on the ingredient label (i.e., wheat flour, rye, barley, oats, and malt).
* We do not publish a list of gluten-free flavors.
* We work closely with ingredient and packaging suppliers to verify gluten in all ingredient components including natural flavors, colors, and spices.
* Some flavorings may contain ethyl alcohol. However, because the alcohol is distilled, they would not pose a threat to anyone who is gluten intolerant.
* We apologize for any inconvenience, but it’s the best and safest way for you to know.

Hmm..I read that label twice and gluten was not listed as an allergen...and none of the ingredients indicated gluten content, either...
Maybe it was just a funky stomach thing...

I don't know that I've had the Reese's Klondike bars but I've eaten the plain one's before and never had an issue.
