That when a product disappears from the shelves for a while, to check the ingredients when it comes back 
Thanks to Tesco's for putting a wheat coating on my favourite oven chips with out a whopping "now contains gluten" sticker of some sort.
But, at least now I've realised what was making me ill!
You have just learnt, which's the important thing here and I hope that you feel better soon. it should be a criminal offence to add horrible nasty wheat to an otherwise gluten free item like potato, the blighters!
Lol, should have learned 40 years ago when they added butter to my favourite dairy free ice cream 
nothing ever changes
Sainsbury's own are still wheat free
What is it with Tesco & 'sabotaging' potato products?! They did the same with their waffles.
Oh, don't get me started on wheat where it doesn't need to be, why do they all feel the need to contaminate onion bhaji's???
Money is the root of all evil - cheaper produce means bigger profits.
I make my own wedges chop potatoes, drizzle oil and Cajun 20-30 minutes in the oven better than these conglomerates!
Ah yes....i was caught out, tesco still had the same ingredients listed on website, i phoned and said id been made poorly because Onken yoghurt had changed their recipe, they thanked me, refunded the 2 yoghurts and changed the website. If its changed ALL the manufacturers should put a sticker on, its hard enough as it is!!!
I totally agree about the sticker to put on foods when ingredients have changed, this should become a legal requirement don't you think? At the very least 'new recipe' if not 'now contain ingredients unsuitable for coeliac disease sufferers'! Sit up and take notice supermarkets and manufacturers!
I still feel an obscure sense of loss for Sainsbury's Basics Tortilla Chips, which went the same way. I also shop a great deal less in Sainsbury's...
Hi freelancer, I've just been to Sainsbury's and notice they now stock Uri's gf food from the USA udisglutenfree.com/product-...
So it might be worth checking out Sainsbury's range again. I do agree that supermarkets base their stock on sales and profits and don't think of 'us' the consumer with special dietary needs and agree that we need to vote with our pockets. This is why I support the independent gluten free food manufacturers as they KNOW who their customers are and cater for us.
Great, I'll have a look next time I'm passing. The thing with having a limited diet is that most of the supermarket shop now consists of real basics: meat, fish, veg, rice, wine etc – which I can buy at any of them. So it's the snacks that make me choose one supermarket over another and then they lose the whole shop.
Agree about the independent providers. I'm moving further and further away from supermarkets anyway – it takes too long to read everything and is too depressing – in favour of home delivery and buying odd bits locally, so this is probably the way forward.
Indeed we do !!
Aldi's value ones are ok, they really are as I've been known to eat most of a packet in one go!!
Why is it that Cornflakes contain gluten, only because it is added during manufacture, yet cost a quarter of Gluten free cornflakes?????
I buy Whole Earth Organic cornflakes at £1.48 per packet from ASDA (I spot them elsewhere occasionally) considerably less than the specially packaged GF equivalent
They add malt to cornflakes as it is a taste enhancer and is a source of B vitamins and some minerals.
What annoys me is Kellogs make gluten free rice krispies in the USA and have since 2010 but they know that we are allowed to eat supermarket ones with below 20ppm so do not see a market for them over here when we are the biggest consumer of breakfast cereals per head per capita in the world.
Please see:
ricekrispies.com/products/r...
We had a campaign on here a while back asking Kellogs to sell them over here but they said they did not see a market:

We can live in hope I guess.
Hmm - must check the manufacturer, I may have got name wrong but the ones I eat are labelled gluten free for sure
Whole Earth organic cornflakes are gluten free, I meant Kellogs and supermarket own brands, so I'm sorry for the confusion.
Whole earth use corn malt in theirs, I've never had any issues. (That I know of :->)
aw. Not good.. I hope you send Tesco a nasty email describing in detail how ill they made you... :(..Hope you feel better soon..
tesco have stopped selling ds frozen foods and replaced it with their own as well as limiting the varieties crap.
Mmm. That explains it. If only you had posted a few days ago....
At least I know what the culprit is now. Thank you!
we all get so cross about the changes dont we! and rightly so! Just get used to something we like and BAM it's 'improved'- for who? more expense by them, new labels, new bottles- and we pick up the expense...for what?
the only way to stop supermarkets is to constantly point out that they could lose MONEY. they don't care about anything else. but its so tedious constantly pointing this out, we would all have to keep writing to the firms, then staff change and we are back to square one……. easier maybe to just accept and use naturally gluten free food, I did this in SA and was really well, Its wanting to eat treats that gets me.
when Waitrose opened in Chiswick I was among several customers looking for a free from shelf, they said branch not big enough, but because so many were asking they produced one a few weeks later, was very good for ages but now the range is smaller and more Waitrose only products, They stopped Warburtons bread at Sainsburys, but some must have protested and it is back. I see fish fingers are also back! so dear friends , its profits and money that will move the markets. If we say we won't buy, that talks…..
I am confused......:(
Am I lacking fibre in diet?
I am a bit confused and afraid of the Coeliac 
I am excited to be part of a group that understands 
How do I know if I am lactose intolerant?
