I hadn't had problems with m&ms in the past so I didn't immediately go there.  I quit eating them and the problem cleared up.  This news seems to substantiate my suspicions.  (Very Sad Face!)<br/><br/>

All M&Ms are made actually in separate parts of the factories that make them. 
I have a daughter who eats M&Ms (the plain ones) and has never had an issue despite her gluten allergy test came out in the 95 out of 100 range. 
All peanut butter, peanut and almond M&Ms are made in one part of the factory. Plain chocolates are made in another and the pretzels ones are made entirely in another as well. 

To make sure that kids with and without nut allergies can have their products, each of the categories are made in separate factories. 

People please do your research more.<br/><br/>

The mint flavoring is more of an "alcohol-based" mint flavoring. Alcohol has a gluten in it. Hence the warning label.<br/><br/>

And I'm not even full-on celiac, only gluten sensitive/intolerant...and I normally don't have a reaction to things that "may be made on same lines as gluten products" like I can eat Hidden Valley Ranch without any issues, only things that directly  contain gluten ingredients give me trouble normally...I'm confused but will steer clear of these from now on anyway....<br/><br/>

The only thing suspect - the peanut M&Ms. I didn't read the label myself (trusted my husband who claimed I could eat them....). Went online tonight between potty breaks to look up the ingredient list. I found a disclaimer on the M&M site *lists all sorts of foods that people are allergic too, included was "wheat". Apparently the Mars company has this disclaimer there for a reason on their site? What I didn't find was 'an ingredient list'. Husband threw the bag away.... However, I found this blog, where others like you have had issues. Now I feel certain that there is something about the new peanut M&M that is making me sick. I didn't eat anything else that was "unknown". I'm not certain what ingredient is the culprit though - because the person above who's daughter apparently works for Mars company believes that they are not made in a part of the factory where the pretzels are, for example. Mystery.<br/><br/>

Several times now I've been sick in the morning and it's the only thing I ate that wasn't fruit, veg, or meat! I no longer trust peanut M&Ms.<br/><br/>

I just noticed the individual packages (but not the main bag) say "may contain peanuts." I strongly suspect the bags contain cross contaminated gluten as well.<br/><br/>

My daughter chose mostly plain with a few mint and raspberry flavored candies.  She hadn't eaten M&Ms in quite a while,  but she had never had a reaction before.  The day she began eating the M&Ms from Vegas she became very ill.  We had already suspected the M&Ms of being contaminated but after reading the comments on this site I am now convinced they contained gluten.  Mars just lost one more customer.<br/><br/>

I snacked on some yesterday and suffered for it today. I could swear I was OK eating these last year. I wonder if something changed in the production to make it drastically worse or if I've just gotten more sensitive to gluten.<br/><br/>

I have noticed as the rest on here that M&Ms bother me. Especially the mint ones. I will now stay away from them.
 I really was just beginning to think that I developed an allergy to chocolate. I will try only plain or peanut ones and see how it goes.
