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.

      Celiac attack confusion and anxiety

      By Colleen H · Posted

      The previous post did not come through right. I wonder if tingling burning feet are part of it.. I'm not sure if it's the med reaction that people with gluten intolerance get or the food we ate  It's frustrating because a person who did not want to admit to himself I had this condition wanted me to eat this chicken sandwich and now I'm stuck with a variety of symptoms plus now I'm hungry on top of it..  I'm new to this so I forget that "one bite" of the wrong thing can hurt us.😔. Do we stop eating if someone exposed us to gluten ??  My stomach is rumbling but my joints hurt ...  It's weird because I can feel the anxiety coming on.  I get joint problems ,  I don't know if anyone ever got hot flashes?? I suppose if it affects people head to toes you can get that too.   It's weird...hard to decipher what is what.   Also how long do I have to deal with this attack??  Makes me feel like not getting up out of bed.  I get too many symptoms which  horrible.  Thank you for your response..

      still struggling with cravings

      By wellthatsfun · Posted

      as my last post stated, i was diagnosed via endoscopy on the 14th of june. i have been eating amazing home cooked meals, luckily, mainly cooked by my boyfriend who is extremely careful about contamination (and is an incredible cook at that). however, i find myself in a mental rut still. being 18, this is the time in my life where i should be exploring things, going out, having fun. yet every corner i turn i'm tortured by the amazing smell of something i can't have anymore. the wonderful sight of such yummy foods. it's near torture. if my boyfriend and his friend who lives with us buy something i can't have, they'll usually eat it outside of the house or the car or wherever we are - which is greatly appreciated - but even seeing a burger or chips or a sausage roll in their hands guts me almost beyond repair. i just wanna have it again too. i miss it. i feel left out and it makes me very sad all the time. it's not their fault. they are allowed to eat whatever they want to, whatever their intestines will allow. it just stings, bad. and i feel so ungrateful given i basically have a private chef who is doubly the love of my life. but it's just so hard. i know i'll adapt. i haven't given up hope.i just wanted to vent. thank you for reading

      Toothpaste question.

      Thank you. I must have misinterpreted a study or something. Thank you for the clarification. Much appreciated. Almost three years into my celiac diagnosis and I'm still learning new things.

      I wasn’t clear, glucagon and gadolinium were intravenous. I drank about 5 cups of the prep during 45 minutes. I feel very tired now, probably partly because I was nervous, and partly because I had to fast for 6 hours beforehand and wasn’t very hungry when I got home.
