I don't think Canadian Snickers are gluten-free. If you're in Canada, double check the label.

I sure like candy,and most of the extra sweet kind is made with corn syrup,like salt water taffys,lemon

heads,gum drops and orange slices.And for ValentinesDay-cinnamon hearts.

bubble Gum too! Licorice has always been a favorite of mine but THAT is made with wheat so it irritates my gut. I ought to try to get the recipe and make it with a gluten free flour-soI can keep on eatin' it!

I made butter-cream caramels for christmas-it made a ton .I had lots to give away plus plenty to eat.

I found the recipe on the internet.It calls for 2C.heavy cream,2 sticks butter,1C.cornsyrup,

1C.brown Sugar2C.white Sugar. Boil til candy thermometer reaches,250 degrees and remove from heat

stir in vanilla I forgot how much,1 teaspoon -I'll find out-then pour into a grease 9"x13" dish.

Let it cool,then cut and wrap in waxed paper.Boiling it takes 41 mins-1 ,1/2 hrs,so be patient!

Yummy! Yummy! Yummy! Caramels and Candy reign forever,dude!

      Guinness, can you drink it?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      This is a very common question, and the most important thing to know is that no, Guinness is not considered safe for individuals with coeliac disease. While it's fascinating to hear anecdotes from other coeliacs who can drink it without immediate issues, this is a risky exception rather than the rule. The core issue is that Guinness is brewed from barley, which contains gluten, and the standard brewing process does not remove the gluten protein to a level safe for coeliacs (below 20ppm). For someone like you who experiences dermatitis herpetiformis, the reaction is particularly significant. DH is triggered by gluten ingestion, even without immediate gastrointestinal symptoms. So, while you may not feel an instant stomach upset, drinking a gluten-containing beer like Guinness could very well provoke a flare-up of your skin condition days later. It would be a gamble with a potentially uncomfortable and long-lasting consequence. Fortunately, there are excellent, certified gluten-free stouts available now that can provide a safe and satisfying alternative without the risk.

      Gluten Issues and Vitamin D

      By MogwaiStripe · Posted

      Interestingly, this thought occurred to me last night. I did find that there are studies investigating whether vitamin D deficiency can actually trigger celiac disease.  Source: National Institutes of Health https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7231074/

      Guinness, can you drink it?

      By Butch68 · Posted

      Before being diagnosed coeliac I used to love Guinness. Being made from barley it should be something a coeliac shouldn’t drink. But taking to another coeliac and they can drink it with no ill effects and have heard of others who can drink it too.  is this everyone’s experience?  Can I drink it?  I get dermatitis herpetiformis and don’t get instant reactions to gluten so can’t try it to see for myself.

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By trents · Posted

      NCGS does not cause damage to the small bowel villi so, if indeed you were not skimping on gluten when you had the antibody blood testing done, it is likely you have celiac disease.

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I will assume you did the gluten challenge properly and were eating a lot of gluten daily for 6-8 weeks before your test, but if not, that could be the issue. You can still have celiac disease with negative blood test results, although it's not as common:  Clinical and genetic profile of patients with seronegative coeliac disease: the natural history and response to gluten-free diet: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5606118/  Seronegative Celiac Disease - A Challenging Case: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9441776/  Enteropathies with villous atrophy but negative coeliac serology in adults: current issues: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34764141/  Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS.
