Does anybody know of any jelly beans other than Jelly Bellys that are gluten free? Every brand I've looked at contains modified food starch.

Love the Jelly Bellys but they're so darned expensive!

The modified food starch is USUALLY corn, it's supposed to be corn in the US, unless otherwise declared.

We have gotten Just Born Jelly Beans (all Just Born Candies are supposed to be gluten-free, my husband verified via e-mail with them last year), Starburst Jelly Beans and Jolly Rancher Jelly Beans those are both Kraft and Kraft will clearly label if there is any Wheat, Barley, Rye or Oats... so enjoy!

Wow. Thank you so much!

I was in the grocery store last night looking at the Starburst jelly beans because I thought I had read that they were gluten free, but the modified food starch scared me off. I just bought some Peeps and called it a night <_<

You've eaten them with no ill effects?

Jelly beans are my absolute favorite candy of all time...

You know what's weird?

I never eat Jelly Beans nor do I care for them that much.

Last night, I had a dream that I was in a room full of Jelly Beans and I was eating them (except for the black ones) -- My roommate came in and said, "Chris, why are you eating those, are they gluten free?"

I responded by pelting him with several Jelly Beans and loudly boasting that "I don't care, If I want Jelly Beans, I will eat Jelly Beans..."

Dreams are so weird -- I'm sure this one describes the angst I have subconciously with the gluten-free diet, but its still funny...

Bronco

p.s. I told my roommate abou the dream and he just stared at me and then left the room...

LOL about your dream! That is too funny!

Yes I've eaten the Starburst and the Jolly Rancher jelly beans with no ill effects whatsoever. My daughter eats the Starburst ones on a fairly regular basis, and I am newly addicted to the Jolly Rancher ones.

I eat Dare gumdrops, jujubes, and jellybeans. They are gluten-free, at least in Canada.

      It is more likely code for “we think there really was a good response to the treatment, but it was small or in a small percent of subjects so it would take a large clinical trial to try to prove it.”

      Celiac symptoms

      By Dana0207 · Posted

      Thank you so much for your replies. Luckily the rash went away when I completely swore off gluten. It took several months but I have not had a flare in months. So a biopsy is no longer possible. The itch was terrible and apart from bleaching my skin the steroid lotions and potions did nothing. The Gliadin is for accidents and shall be a part of my travel kit from now on. This past exposure has made a me a little leery about eating anything that was not cooked in my kitchen or a dedicated gluten-free restaurant. As much as I used to love baked goods, I am cured and have become quite the gluten free baker to the point that friends and family forget that my cakes/cookies/and bread are not "real". I guess I will have to wait for the new blood test to come out to get confirmation but I have a suspicion that the rash was dermatitis herpetiformis.

      Hello, I just wanted to share with the frustration of skin issues and seeing dermatologist and medications not working for years, I did my own healing experiment. As of last week I have been taking a drop internally under the tongue of Vetiver and putting on topically on sores Yellow/Pom.I am seeing a extreme difference at a rapid time.Im also noticing my nails a little harder. Ive always been into natural properties because I feel its safer for the body.I know short time, but really seeing a difference. I also feel the the trapped gases that causes bloating helps break down as well.Curious if any body else can benefit from and has tried. Products is made by Doterra by Dr Hill

      Celiac symptoms

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I agree with @trents, and the rash you described, especially its location and resistance to steroids, sounds highly characteristic of dermatitis herpetiformis, which is the skin manifestation of celiac disease. The severe and prolonged reaction you're describing five days after a small exposure is, while extreme, not unheard of for those with a high sensitivity; the systemic inflammatory response can absolutely last for several days or even weeks, explaining why you still don't feel right. Your plan to avoid a formal gluten challenge is completely understandable given the severity of your reactions, and many choose the same path for their well-being. While experiences with GliadinX (they are a sponsor here) are mixed, some people do report a reduction in the severity of their symptoms when taken with accidental gluten, though it is crucial to remember it is not a cure or a license to eat gluten and its effectiveness can vary from person to person. For now, the absolute best advice is to continue being hyper-vigilant about cross-contamination—buffets are notoriously high-risk, even with good intentions. Connecting with a gastroenterologist and a dermatologist who specialize in celiac disease is essential for navigating diagnosis and management moving forward. Wishing you a swift recovery from this last exposure. If you have DH you will likely also want to avoid iodine, which is common in seafoods and dairy products, as it can exacerbate symptoms in some people. This article may also be helpful as it offers various ways to relieve the itch:
