M&M's (800.551.0702) (vp=09/24/02)

The following are gluten-free: Snickers (except mini's in Canada); Skittles; Starburst; Dove (milk & dark choc); Mars Almond Bar; 3Musketeers; MilkyWay Midnight (all other MilkyWay's are not gluten-free). All mini versions of the above are gluten-free except Snickers in Canada). (vp=12/12/02: All M&Ms are gluten-free EXCEPT the “crispy” blue bag version)

They wouldn't give permission to reprint the whole list....but, you can view it at:

It shows dates verified, and company phone numbers, too.

It's message # 27216.1

You may have to join the site, or something... but, it is a good celiac message board.

Or, I can email it to you.

Go ahead and enjoy your Peanut M&M's. All M&M's are gluten-free EXCEPT for the Crispy(in the blue package).

There are actually quite a few candies that we can enjoy :D

Here is a list that was printed on a yahoo group that I belong to for halloween:

Gluten-Free

Trick or Treating for 2003

Hi, just a couple of questions about your gluten-free candy list:

1) I've heard that 3 Musketeers bars aren't gluten-free

2) Why can't we have Hershey Hugs?? (if they aren't it might explain why i've been having symptoms lately).

Thanks a lot!

Hi everyone, I found another gluten-free candy! :D They are called Goldenberg's Peanut Chews (Original) and they are really yummy. Nothing on the label would indicate any gluten or dairy(except the Kosher symbol said dairy!?), but I e-mailed just in case. And this was their response. I am very sensitive to dairy and I don't think there is much contamination, since I am remaining symptom free! :) They are a chocolate covered molassas nougat filled with peanuts. If you like Bit-O-Honey, these are even better! I buy mine at my local Rite Aid Pharmacy.

Thank you for your recent email.  In April 2003, Goldenberg Candy Company was acquired by Just Born, Inc., makers of Mike and Ike, Hot Tamales, Zours, Marshmallow Peeps and Teenee Beanee Jelly Beans.  Peanut Chews will continue to be manufactured in Philadelphia using the original family recipe.  However, all consumer inquiries are now being handled by Just Born on behalf of Goldenberg Candy Company.  We are all very excited about this collaboration and we are thrilled to share the news with you, our valued consumer.

We strive to be aware of issues related to food allergies and sensitivities, and are happy to provide as much information as possible to allow consumers to make informed decisions about the products they eat.  Our Peanut Chews do not contain wheat, rye, barley or oats and to the best of our knowledge, they are gluten-free.

There are no dairy products in Original Peanut Chews.  However, they are manufactured on the same equipment as Milk Chocolately Peanut Chews, which have nonfat dry milk as an ingredient in the coating only.  We have procedures in place to clean the equipment in between production runs of the different products.

Again, thank you for your taking the time to contact us; we hope this information is helpful.

Regards,

Martha A. Larkin

God bless,

While we're on the topic of sweets/candy, does anyone know a source/brand of gluten free/dairy free chocolate? Being casein as well as gluten intolerant kinda eliminates all my favorite milk chocolate treats. :( I suspect even dark chocolate has some milk product. Are there any nondairy chocolates out there? Where can I get those, if they exist?

The only M&Ms to avoid are the crispy ones.

Scharffen Berger chocolate is gluten-free and dairy free although they warn that some products wrapped off-site have a slight chance of trace dairy. www.scharffenberger.com

Thanks, Tiffany. You just helped me renew my membership in "chocoholics anonymous"!!! :lol: When my Enterolabs test said no gluten/no dairy, I thought I would have to give up all chocolate--I'm a Dove chocolate and Dove bar freak. :( Thanks to you I found that Tropical Source has dark chocolate bars (there's other flavors with nuts, but I'm a purist, preferring chocolate or coffee in my chocolate) and dark roast expresso chocolate chips (inspiring my baking creativity already) available at Whole Foods (within walking distance from my house). Thanks sooo much. :D

lol :-) you're welcome. i used to hate dark chocolate, and am pretty picky about the quality, and was quite surprised to find it fairly high quality! (the scherfe... (can't remember it for the life of me...) stuff is pretty good too, but I prefer tropical source.

I noticed that Chunky candy bars are on the list as being gluten-free. I used to love those but I read on the label something to the effect "processed on equipment that also processes nuts and wheat," so I have been avoiding these. Did anyone else notice this or am I depriving myself for nothing? Maybe i should look again?

I should mention, if someone knows, please send a PM or e-mail, as well.......I'm just going crazy to think that I might've screwed it up after 8 months of toiling to feel better -- I just can't be set back by an accident! :unsure: Thanks......I've sent out e-mails to all the companies, already ;)

celiac3270-

As far as I know 3 Musketeers are gluten-free. Milky Ways' are not and they are similiar to the 3 musketeers. (Milky Way Dark ARE gluten-free however). Anyways, I eat 3 musketeers with no issues and the labels seem just fine. Stop panic ing.

      Lymph nodes

      Enlarged lymph nodes in neck and groin with celiac are not uncommon. They can take time to reduce even after going gluten-free. Monitoring is key.

      Hi, I attended a neurologist appt last Tuesday, which I nearly cancelled, due to ongoing numbness and tingling in toes to mid foot. One of the first things he asked was ‘are you celiac’. I’m not. He thought all reflexes were ok but at the last minute decided on nerve conduction tests which were low normal. He was a little confused as he felt they should be better and tried a new set of probs, all the time, giving me multiple shocks which were not enjoyable lol. Anyway, he’s now ordered tests for myeloma, and all the vitaminy things that so many of you mention on here, also tests looking for autoimmune responses. I already have Hashimotos. Interestingly, to me, but maybe someone out there can relate or knows more than i do, although I was a nurse, but ED not ‘weird symptoms’  nurse. Anyway back to the interesting thing, I took duramine in 2013 to lose weight which caused a massive panic attack when I stopped taking it and half my hair fell out. I only took it for a week but it was horrible and I regret it. It triggered ongoing panic attacks which are horrendous. So I feel like I’m a bit crazy. Then in 2020 I had this sudden onset of horrible pain when trying to eat a cinnamon roll. It continued and I lost around 20 kgs. I had two gastroscopes and a colonoscopy and they were all normal. I scored a barium swallow and CT angiogram. All normal. The pain subsided a little but I was left with reflux and an awful feeling that I couldn’t get air when I ate some foods. This was not anxiety.  The anxiety was separate and I still maintain this. This was something to do with eating. It was like the air was thick but I wasn’t short of breath. I just had the sensation I was, then it triggered anxiety. Anyway, I had other weird things- couldn’t bend knees to shave legs in shower lol. Knees felt stiff and swollen but they weren’t. Knee WOUld swell up randomly but mri showed minimal issues. A bit of a meniscus degeneration but insignificant. Then the buzzing sensations in my head, the feeling like someone was stabbing me with something sharp. So now, I pre empted his tests, although I don’t think I’m celiac because it should have come up on gastroscopy, I’ve gone off gluten. Since Tuesday last week so 9 days. Since then I don’t appear to be as constipated, I realised I got through today without a nap and I’m not tired, maybe it’s just today and not related but I get very tired normally and sleep straight after work often, I can bend my knees and shave my legs lol, the buzzing vibrating has gone from my head, I had to call and ambulance as my heart decided we were off on a run, but we weren’t running and I’ve been a bit twitchy at bed time when trying to sleep, reflux is improving, I did get the weird suffocating feeling a bit when eating today but not as bad normall. Tingling and numbness still present and I felt like it moved up my legs a bit today but I’m a bit jittery. So I don’t know if it’s celiac disease or a gluten intolerance but I think, and it may be wishful thinking because my symptoms do make life a bit challenging, but maybe I’m feeling better. I don’t feel as cloudy. My thinking feels crisper. Like there’s no buzzing and I’m not fighting to break through the cloudiness now. I hope so much that this may help me feel a bit better moving forward. It would be a miracle as I really have struggled to work and parent and keep the house clean and I’m always anxious and exhausted.  If you get this far, please tell me if you you can relate to any of the above. Oh and tonsils out 5 years ago but before that antibiotics multiple times a year, sometimes intramuscular because they were so bad.  Op was meant to take 30 mins, it took 1.5 hours due to size of them.
