Marmite

[tkband3]

Is Marmite suitable for coeliacs? I've just checked on the Coeliac UK website and it said that whilst it was historically considered ok to eat, because of the small quantities you generally consume, it may not now be ok - "despite thorough washing, it can contain slightly more than the 20ppm gluten standard".

If you're coeliac, do you eat Marmite?

I still eat it (I'm a coeliac), not very often, maybe every 3 weeks or so and then just a little scrape on toast and I'm fine.

Thanks. I'm very confused about it! I genuinely thought it was ok and my coeliac DTs eat it regularly (say 3-5 times a week on toast), but they often get tummy aches and loose stools (sorry!), whereas coeliac DD1 who never eats Marmite, hardly ever gets tummy ache. I've told them they mustn't have it for now, to see if it helps...

I think the sainsburies own version is. Though it is runnyer and not as nice in my opinion.

Thank you. Bought the Sainsbury's one today and DT2 has pronounced it acceptable . Not sure about DT1 - may try the Tesco version which is also g-f and isn't low salt like the Sainsbury's one...

I am classed as severe and dont react to it, there are other 20ppm products that i do react to but thankfully not my beloved marmite
