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

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.

      Welcome to the celiac.com communiuty, @Matthias! Yes, we have been aware that this can be an issue with mushrooms but as long as they are rinsed thoroughly it should not be a problem since the mushrooms don't actually incorporate the gluten into their cellular structure. For the same reason, one needs to be careful when buying aged cheeses and products containing yeast because of the fact that they are sometimes cultured on gluten-containing substrate.

      The one kind of food I had been buying and eating without any worry for hidden gluten were unprocessed veggies. Well, yesterday I discovered yet another pitfall: cultivated mushrooms. I tried some new ones, Shimeji to be precise (used in many asian soup and rice dishes). Later, at home, I was taking a closer look at the product: the mushrooms were growing from a visible layer of shredded cereals that had not been removed. After a quick web research I learned that these mushrooms are commonly cultivated on a cereal-based medium like wheat bran. I hope that info his helpful to someone.

      I might suggest you consider buckwheat groats. https://www.amazon.com/Anthonys-Organic-Hulled-Buckwheat-Groats/dp/B0D15QDVW7/ref=sr_1_4_pp?crid=GOFG11A8ZUMU&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.bk-hCrXgLpHqKS8QJnfKJLKbKzm2BS9tIFv3P9HjJ5swL1-02C3V819UZ845_kAwnxTUM8Qa69hKl0DfHAucO827k_rh7ZclIOPtAA9KjvEEYtaeUV06FJQyCoi5dwcfXRt8dx3cJ6ctEn2VIPaaFd0nOye2TkASgSRtdtKgvXEEXknFVYURBjXen1Nc7EtAlJyJbU8EhB89ElCGFPRavEQkTFHv9V2Zh1EMAPRno7UajBpLCQ-1JfC5jKUyzfgsf7jN5L6yfZSgjhnwEbg6KKwWrKeghga8W_CAhEEw9N0.eDBrhYWsjgEFud6ZE03iun0-AEaGfNS1q4ILLjZz7Fs&dib_tag=se&keywords=buckwheat%2Bgroats&qid=1769980587&s=grocery&sprefix=buchwheat%2Bgroats%2Cgrocery%2C249&sr=1-4&th=1 Takes about 10 minutes to cook. Incidentally, I don't like quinoa either. Reminds me and smells to me like wet grass seed. When its not washed before cooking it makes me ill because of saponins in the seed coat. Yes, it can be difficult to get much dietary calcium without dairy. But in many cases, it's not the amount of calcium in the diet that is the problem but the poor uptake of it. And too much calcium supplementation can interfere with the absorption of vitamins and minerals in general because it raises gut pH.

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D. The dramatic, rapid normalization of stool frequency and form after removing wheat, along with improved tolerance of legumes and plant foods, is a classic pattern seen in gluten-driven disease rather than functional IBS. IBS usually worsens with fiber and beans, not improves. The fact that you carry HLA-DQ2.2 means celiac disease is absolutely possible, even if it’s less common than DQ2.5, and many people with DQ2.2 present later and are under-diagnosed. Your hesitation to reintroduce gluten is completely understandable — quality of life matters — and many people in your position choose to remain strictly gluten-free and treat it as medically necessary even without formal biopsy confirmation. If and when you’re ready, a physician can help you weigh options like limited gluten challenge, serology history, or documentation as “probable celiac.” What’s clear is that this wasn’t just random IBS — you identified the trigger, and your body has been very consistent in its response.
