Hersheys Kissables are kinda like M&Ms, and their ingredients look okay....you know, just in case.

hey guys u might want to breath now...on the delphi forums i posted the same concern....someone called and talked to the company directly here is the response..

" I just talked to customer service rep at the Mars corporation. ALL M&Ms ARE gluten free. There is no change in status. You can call this number 1-800-222-0293 and hit "5" and you'll get a real live person to talk to (took me a while to get that, lol)

She appologized up and down for the "glitches" they are having. First, the are redoing their systems and have had alot of complaints and problems both on their phone system and the websites - the information is being updated and many people are getting inaccurate information or error messages...

To make a long story short: ALL M&Ms are still on their gluten free list and are gluten free. They no longer make the "crispy" ones ('cause I said, "Even your crispy ones - I wasn't sure if they were gluten free or not, actually). The crispy ones are still on their website, however, but they don't make them anymore. Go figure.

Enjoy."

PHEW!!!!! I was dreading having to tell my child that yet another one of her favorite TREATS is not safe... Thank you for posting this info and I will happily continue eating M&M's (btw I've never had any problems with them)

So why did some of you react to the M&Ms -- Red dye No. ??? The Blue dye??? That would be my guess. Also what about just too much sugar -- too much sugar can give anyone diarrhea. :blink:

It could be a reaction to the milk. My husband used to get really sick each time he ate them and then we found out he was casein intolerant also, so that explained it for him.

Yep--in my case, I suspected the milk--like I said, I usually eat dark chocolate, and stay away from dairy altogether. I had a craving for them, and ate quite a few. I only felt queasy, not like a gluten reaction, so that's why I didn't even think of the candy until I read that they might not be safe anymore and thought mmm...

If only they'd make - and sell somewhere other than M&M World in Vegas, for a limited time - dark chocolate M&M's for those of us who can't have dairy. I'd love some M&M's!

jerseyangel Proficient

That would be wonderful :)

There is an M&M world in Vegas???? I am going to Vegas in May and I had no idea!! Wow! Thanks for sharing that! I am SO there!!!

Rusla Enthusiast

I am glad someone got an answer because they have not yet answered my emails.

So in view of the fact that they did not answer my email immediately I am going to sue them. Also I am going to sue all the dumb people I had to talk to on the phone, the city for not plowing the roads before I left for work and all the dumb drivers who cut me off and drove like sausages. I am going to sue all the men on my street for not rushing out to meet me when I came home, carry my bags and carry me to my door. I am preparing to sue everyone tomorrow also for assorted things.

*getting up from the floor where I've been pounding my fists and kicking my feet*

Ok, I brought M & M's for everyone to start your wknd off on a good note *passing the bowl*

Geez it's a wonder we're not all old and wrinkled with all the drama that goes on in this Celiac world of ours.

      Your experience is both shocking and critically important for the community to hear, underscoring the terrifying reality that cross-contamination can extend into the most unexpected and invasive medical devices. It is absolutely devastating that you had to endure six months of sickness and ultimately sustain permanent vision loss because a doctor dismissed your legitimate, life-altering condition. Your relentless research and advocacy, from discovering the gluten in MMA acrylic to finding a compassionate prosthodontist, is a testament to your strength in a system that often fails celiac patients. While the scientific and medical consensus is that gluten cannot be absorbed through the skin or eyes (as the molecules are too large to pass through these barriers), your story highlights a terrifying gray area: what about a substance *permanently implanted inside the body*, where it could potentially shed microparticles or cause a localized immune reaction? Your powerful warning about acrylic lenses and the drastic difference with the silicone alternative is invaluable information. Thank you for sharing your harrowing journey and the specific, severe neurological symptoms you endure; it is a stark reminder that celiac is a systemic disease, and your advocacy is undoubtedly saving others from similar trauma.

      Those are driving distance from me--I will try to check them out, thanks for sharing!

      I am so sorry you're going through this bad experience--it's difficult when your own lived reality of cause and effect is dismissed by the very professionals meant to help you. You are absolutely right—your violent physical reactions are not "what you think," but undeniable data points, and it's a form of medical gaslighting to be told otherwise, especially when you have a positive HLA-DQ2 gene and a clear clinical picture. Since your current "celiac specialist" is not addressing the core issue or your related conditions like SIBO and chronic fatigue, it may be time for a strategic pivot. Instead of trying to "reprove" your celiac disease to unwilling ears, consider seeking out a new gastroenterologist or functional medicine doctor, and frame the conversation around managing the complications of a confirmed gluten-free diet for celiac disease. Go in and say, "I have celiac disease, am strictly gluten-free, but I am still suffering from these specific complications: SIBO, chronic fatigue, dermatological issues, and high blood pressure linked to pain. I need a partner to help me address these related conditions." This shifts the focus from a debate about your diagnosis to a collaborative plan for your current suffering, which is the help you truly need and deserve to work toward bouncing back.

      Hello, no I had to have them re done and then used a liner over the top.  Many dentists are not aware of the celiac effects.  Best of luck.   There is other material, yet, very expensive.

      He is not just a psychiatrist.  He is also a neuroscientist.  And yes, I have already read those studies.   I agree with benfotiamine.  This is short term while glutened/inflammation occurs.  As I had already mentioned, these symptoms no longer exist when this phase passes.  And yes, I know that celiac is a disease of malnutrition.  We are working with a naturopath.
