hershey kisses?

I had a bag of plain milk chocolate hershey kisses from Christmas, and they say gluten free on the bag. But I just bought another bag today, and the ingredients are slightly different and it doesn't say gluten free. Though I'm pretty sure I bought a bag a few months ago that was the same way. Both times (the ones that don't say gluten free) were from walmart.. Slight ingredient change and no gluten free label at walmart, yet i could buy the exact same product from a different store and it would be labeled gluten free and have the other ingredients. Why is that?

EDIT: Upon further research.. Hershey's change the ingredients in Herhsey's Kisses last year and removed the artificial ingredients. I read that the newly formulated ones hit shelves around November, so I thought maybe these were just left over. But the ones I just bought are valentine's day? I'm quite perplexed by all of this lol.

They also contain soy, and I am not only gluten intolerant but soy intolerant so I have to avoid them like the plague.  Only cocoa seems to have no soy - but I even avoid that just in case.  You might check that out.

Enjoy Life makes gluten-free chocolate that is also soy-free.

The Enjoy Life ones are also dairy free which is a bonus as well. As far as the kisses go, I'm pretty sure they are gluten free. I've eaten them not often as they aren't the best as far as chocolate goes but occasionally and I didn't have a reaction and I have horrible reactions within minutes if I get glutened.

      @Scott Adams That's actually exactly what I ended up asking for— vodka tonic with Titos.  I saw on their website that Tito's is certified gluten-free (maybe many of the clear vodkas are, I don't know, I just happened to look up Tito's in advance). I should have actually specified the 'splash' though, because I think with the amount of tonic she put in there, it did still end up fairly sweet.  Anyway, I think I've almost got this drink order down!

      Be interesting to see the effects of dairy reintroduction with gluten. As well as milk protein sensitivity in and of itself the casein part particularly has been shown to mimic gluten in about 50% of celiacs. Keep us posted!

      She has been dairy free for six years, so she’d already been dairy free for two years at her last testing and was dairy free for the entire gluten challenge this year as well (that had positive results). However, now that we’re doing another biopsy in six weeks, we decided to do everything we can to try to “see” the effects, so we decided this past week to add back in dairy temporarily for breakfast (milk and cereal combo like you said).

      Hi Christiana, Many thanks for your response.  Interestingly, I too cannot eat wheat in France without feeling effects (much less than in the US, but won't indulge nonetheless).  I also understand children are screened for celiac in Italy prior to starting their education. Wise idea as it seems my grandson has the beginning symptoms (several celiacs in his dad's family), but parents continue to think he's just being difficult.  Argh.  There's a test I took that diagnosed gluten sensitivity in 2014 via Entero Labs, and am planning on having done again.  Truth be told, I'm hoping it's the bromine/additives/preservatives as I miss breads and pastas terribly when home here in the states!  Be well and here's to our guts healing ❤️

      Lol that’s so true! Hope you get clarity, it’s tough when there’s doubt. There’s so much known about celiac disease with all the scientific research that’s been done so far yet practically and clinically there’s also so much unknown, still. Out of curiosity what’s her dairy consumption like? Even compared to early years to now? Has that changed? Calcium is dependent in the mechanism of antigen presenting cells in the gut. High calcium foods with gluten grains can initiate inflammation greater.  This is why breakfast cereals and milk combo long term can be a ticking time bomb for genetically susceptible celiacs (not a scientific statement by any means but my current personal opinion based on reasoning at present). Milk and wheat are the top culprits for food sensitivity. Especially in childhood. There are also patient cases of antibodies normalising in celiac children who had milk protein intolerance/ delayed type allergy. Some asymptomatic. There were a couple of cases of suspected celiacs that turned out to have milk protein intolerance that normalised antibodies on a gluten containing diet. Then there were others that only normalised antibodies once gluten and milk was eliminated. Milk kept the antibodies positive. Celiac disease is complicated to say the least.
