M&m's Off The gluten-free Call In List

I think I am going to cry. I recall companies for everything periodically and just called to recheck M&Ms. Last time I called when I went to the phone promts for gluten-free items they were there with the exception of the crispy ones. Now they are gone. Why do they have to do this to us. Unfortunately I ate a couple handfuls before I called. I am so mad at these companies.

Please send some verification, I HAVE to have that. I can't give up the only sweets that I eat. I am truely afraid that our diets will be shortened with the new labeling issues. M&M's may be the next fall-out. What's next........Necco's. (God-forbid). <_< Pitts

Happen to have some M&M's here and the ingredents look fine, are they changing them?? :(

jerseyangel Proficient

The funny thing is that I usually only eat Dove Dark chocolate. Last week, I got a craving for M&M's and had a couple handfuls. That night, I felt queasy but never suspected the candy. Jeez--not like I eat them all the time, but they are so good once in a while :angry:

:angry: I'll add to the angry rants. I am wondering if every product in Mars inc (thats the makers of m&m right?) is not going to be gluten free. B/C if I cannot have my m&m, then i at least want my snickers and babyruths.

Oh no, I love M&Ms, but snickers is a meal in a pinch, so I am REALLY hoping that is not the case!!!!!!!

Rusla Enthusiast

Gee Richard I thought you were very pretty that perhaps you had been "changed." I will check my email when I get home today and hopefully I will have an email from Marshall Foods (the makers of the M&M etc.) As soon as I get it, I will post it to this site.

You know what, someone cut me off on the road this morning, I'm going to sue them!

My coffee was cold at starbucks! I'm going to sue! Who cares if it was a frappucino!

Glutened by m&m's? Eh, that's ok, what can I expect from a food manufacturer :P

      I realized it is actually important to get an official diagnosis because then insurance can cover bone density testing and other lab work to see if any further damage has been done because of it. Also, if hospitalized for whatever reason, I have the right to gluten-free food if I am officially celiac. I guess it gives me some legal protections. Plus, I have 4 kids, and I really want to know. If I really do have it then they may have increased risk.

      Been off this forum for years. Is it that important that you get an official diagnosis of something? It appears like you had a trigger (wheat, gluten, whatever) and removing it has resolved your symptom. I can't speak for you, but I had known what my trigger was (gluten) years before my diagnosis I would just stay gluten-free and get on with my symptom free condition. I was diagnosed over 20 years ago and have been symptom free only excluding wheat, rye and barley. I tolerate all naturally gluten free whole foods including things like beans which actually helps to form the stools.

      No coincidence. Recent revisions to gluten challenge guidelines call for the daily consumption of at least 10g of gluten (about the amount in 4-6 slices of wheat bread) for a minimum of 3 weeks. If possible, I would extend that two weeks to ensure valid testing.
    • SilkieFairy
      Thank you both for the replies. I decided to bring back gluten so I can do the blood test. Today is Day #2 of the Challenge. Yesterday I had about 3 slices of whole wheat bread and I woke up with urgent diarrhea this morning. It was orange, sandy and had the distinctive smell that I did not have when I was briefly gluten free. I don't know if it's a coincidence, but the brain fog is back and I feel very tired.

      @Jane02, I hear you about the kale and collard greens.  I don't do dairy and must eat green leafies, too, to get sufficient calcium.  I must be very careful because some calcium supplements are made from ground up crustacean shells.  When I was deficient in Vitamin D, I took high doses of Vitamin D to correct the deficiency quickly.  This is safe and nontoxic.  Vitamin D level should be above 70 nmol/L.  Lifeguards and indigenous Pacific Islanders typically have levels between 80-100 nmol/L.   Levels lower than this are based on amount needed to prevent disease like rickets and osteomalacia. We need more thiamine when we're physically ill, emotionally and mentally stressed, and if we exercise like an athlete or laborer.  We need more thiamine if we eat a diet high in simple carbohydrates.  For every 500 kcal of carbohydrates, we need 500-1000 mg more of thiamine to process the carbs into energy.  If there's insufficient thiamine the carbs get stored as fat.  Again, recommended levels set for thiamine are based on minimum amounts needed to prevent disease.  This is often not adequate for optimum health, nor sufficient for people with absorption problems such as Celiac disease.  Gluten free processed foods are not enriched with vitamins like their gluten containing counterparts.  Adding a B Complex and additional thiamine improves health for Celiacs.  Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  Thiamine helps the mitochondria in cells to function.  Thiamine interacts with each of the other B vitamins.  They are all water soluble and easily excreted if not needed.
