Does anyone know if the new Skittles Smoothie mix is gluten-free? Hubby brought them home last night so I can't call company to find out. I would love to use these in the kids Easter baskets. The colors are so pretty!!

Thanks

Cali

According to the Master Foods automated line, all Skittles products are gluten-free, but def. read the labels, if anything looks suspicious (Like OBVIOUS gluten) then don't... Master Foods is one company that will not hide gluten in the artificial flavors or anything, so if Wheat, Barley, Rye, or Oats are not on the label, it's safe

Skittles makes a smoothie mix?! I think the idea of smoothie mixes is kinda silly in the first place, but ... wow... is there anything in it other than whey and sugar?! ;-P (Yeah, yeah, I'm being something of a smartass... :P )

I loooove skittles. I am a personal fan of the Wild Berry variety. The new "ice cream" ones are really gross.

Not a fan of the smoothie mix either.

Are the sour ones gluten-free also? I've always loved those, but they sure do tear your mouth up.

I just bought some skittles today. I got the original ones. Are all of them gluten-free?

I know the original ones are (just so you can eat them right now!) ha. But I'm only pretty sure the others are gluten-free/cf too.

I'm happy with the orginal ones :) Actually I'm really excited, but I may start craving the other flavours. I'm going to eat them right now! Yay!

I haven't been deprived of treats or anything :ph34r:

Well I've tried the Skittles and I didn't get sick :D I'm always nervous for about 12 hours after trying a new product.

I'm always worried too for the first day too. Thatnks for being the guinea pig, I'm going to go buy some now.

Well if I didn't react to them, then they must be safe. I am super sensitive; therefore, I'm the perfect guinea pig!

Can you try those Purely Vanilla bars for me? Just kidding, I'll try them myself and the Skittles. I am so excited about these new snacks.

      Awaiting dermatitis herpetiformis confirmation following biopsy

      Hey @suek54, I also have Dermatitis Herpetiformis. I used to be on Dapsone but have managed to wean myself off it after many attempts. It's quiet a toxic drug, as it affects the bone marrow and red blood cells. It also artificially reduces Hemoglobin A1C. Mine was at 21 at one stage, I think normal is around 37. With dermatitis herpetiformis, you need...

      Awaiting dermatitis herpetiformis confirmation following biopsy

      Hi all Biopsy confirmed dermatitis herpetiformis. Strict gluten free diet going OK, I cook nearly everything from scratch anyway and am finding gluten free adaptations for most recipes. I seem to be tolerating 50mg Dapsone well, regular blood tests OK so far. Next derma appt in 8 weeks. I have some continuing itching and rash outbreaks, though...

      I've had this same rash on my back on and off for the last year or two. I was taking LDN to help with other issues but quit awhile back. I'm wondering if LDN would help with this rash.

      Simple Mills and Made Good Foods Products May Contain Gluten Levels Above the FDA's Allowable Limit of 20 ppm

      It should be noted that Gluten Free Watchdog has voiced concerns about the methodology used by MomsAcrossAmerica's lab for their gluten testing. I don't have access behind their paywall, but here are 2 relevant public posts from them on this topic. (tldr: GFWD seems to believe that MAM's lab could have gotten false positives and they explain why they believe...

      Hey @suek54, I also have Dermatitis Herpetiformis. I used to be on Dapsone but have managed to wean myself off it after many attempts. It's quiet a toxic drug, as it affects the bone marrow and red blood cells. It also artificially reduces Hemoglobin A1C. Mine was at 21 at one stage, I think normal is around 37. With dermatitis herpetiformis, you need to be really strict. It wasn't until I focused on getting the trace minerals the body needs that I managed to get off it. I believe getting the thyroid numbers in the optimal range also helped with Iodine and Selenium. Iodine doesn't bother me for some reason, but flares others as knitty kitty said. I take Viridian Trace Mineral complex and it's made a huge difference, among other vitamins and minerals. Now I can tolerate gluten free oats which I could never eat before. Though I only have them very occasionally in the form of gluten free soda bread . One thing I miss is my Mums Irish soda bread. Hope this helps.

      Hi all Biopsy confirmed dermatitis herpetiformis. Strict gluten free diet going OK, I cook nearly everything from scratch anyway and am finding gluten free  adaptations for most recipes.  I seem to be tolerating 50mg Dapsone well, regular blood tests OK so far.  Next derma appt in 8 weeks. I have some continuing itching and rash outbreaks, though nowhere near as severe as they were, so I am hoping for an increased dose, as the effect only seems to last 6-7 hours.  I think I may be burning through it more quickly than some due to other medication. Also I cannot mount a response to inflammation due to Addison's Disease.  I hope others are finding their way though the minefield that is dermatitis herpetiformis. Hang on in there! Sue (in UK)
