Dark M&m's?

Has anyone tried the new Dark M&M's??? I bought a bag a few days ago...and love them!! However, it's the only thing I've eaten that I figure is causing me to have "D" 3-4 times a day. I haven't been in a lot of pain or anything....so I'm not even sure it's a gluten reaction. Might just be a bug or something. I read the ingredients and it has Dextrin in it...and my list says that as long as the dextrin is manufactured in the US it should be okay (depending on what it comes from.. corn, soy, wheat...etc..). Anyone tried them and had a bad reaction? Or any opinion on the ingredient dextrin?

Dark chocolate M&Ms?? I finally found the white chocolate ones (ehhh, not as good as I had hoped), but dark chocolate is my absolute favorite!!!

Sorry, that was no help. If I find some I'll give 'em a try and let you know how it works for me.

I think someone has my mind under survelliance. Just the other day I said wouldn't it be great if they made dark choc. M&M's :P I am going to have to try them.

Jenny,

They DID make dark chocolate M&Ms awhile ago, just for a short time as some type of Star Wars promotion. Of course, I couldn't find them anywhere, every place was sold out, so I never got to try them. :( I heard they were really good though. I hope we both can find some this time!!

Me too! I'm going to look for them this weekend ;)

I just called the company, and their gluten-free message hasn't changed, all M & M products, except for the crispys are gluten free.

Thanks, Patti!! I'm glad to hear they're still claiming to be gluten-free. It must have been something else I ate... or just a sour stomach. Thanks for the help!!

Good luck finding them...they're yummy! They're in a purple bag...only in a large bag - not the small 50 cent sizes. I found them at a super walmart in the candy aisles. I have yet to try the white chocolate ones... hopefully they still have them by the time I get around to buying them.

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      Thank you so much @knitty kitty for this insightful information! I would have never considered fractionated coconut oil to be a potential source of GI upset. I will consider all the info you shared. Very interesting about the Thiamine deficiency.  I've tracked daily averages of my intake in a nutrition software. The only nutrient I can't consistently meet from my diet is vitamin D. Calcium is a hit and miss as I rely on vegetables, dark leafy greens as a major source, for my calcium intake. I'm able to meet it when I either eat or juice a bundle of kale or collard greens daily haha. My thiamine intake is roughly 120% of my needs, although I do recognize that I may not be absorbing all of these nutrients consistently with intermittent unintentional exposures to gluten.  My vitamin A intake is roughly 900% (~6400 mcg/d) of my needs as I eat a lot of sweet potato, although since it's plant-derived vitamin A (beta-carotene) apparently it's not likely to cause toxicity.  Thanks again!

      How do I contact someone at celiac.com concerning the cessation of my weekly e-newsletter? I had been receiving it regularly for years. When I tried to sign-up on the website, my email was not accepted. I tried again with a new email address and that was rejected as well. Thank you in advance!

      Hello, @Jane02,  I take Naturewise D 3.  It contains olive oil.   Some Vitamin D supplements, like D Drops, are made with fractionated coconut oil which can cause digestive upsets.  Fractionated coconut oil is not the same as coconut oil used for cooking.  Fractionated coconut oil has been treated for longer shelf life, so it won't go bad in the jar, and thus may be irritating to the digestive system. I avoid supplements made with soy because many people with Celiac Disease also react to soy.  Mixed tocopherols, an ingredient in Thornes Vitamin D, may be sourced from soy oil.  Kirkland's has soy on its ingredient list. I avoid things that might contain or be exposed to crustaceans, like Metagenics says on its label.  I have a crustacean/shellfish/fish allergy.  I like Life Extension Bioactive Complete B Complex.  I take additional Thiamine B 1 in the form Benfotiamine which helps the intestines heal, Life Extension MegaBenfotiamine. Thiamine is needed to activate Vitamin D.   Low thiamine can make one feel like they are getting glutened after a meal containing lots of simple carbohydrates like white rice, or processed gluten free foods like cookies and pasta.   It's rare to have a single vitamin deficiency.  The water soluble B Complex vitamins should be supplemented together with additional Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine and Thiamine TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) to correct subclinical deficiencies that don't show up on blood tests.  These are subclinical deficiencies within organs and tissues.  Blood is a transportation system.  The body will deplete tissues and organs in order to keep a supply of thiamine in the bloodstream going to the brain and heart.   If you're low in Vitamin D, you may well be low in other fat soluble vitamins like Vitamin A and Vitamin K. Have you seen a dietician?

      I do not know this, but since they are labelled gluten-free, and are not really a product that could easily be contaminated when making them (there would be not flour in the air of such a facility, for example), I don't really see contamination as something to be concerned about for this type of product.
