I've been on my gluten free diet for 2 months now, and just dying for something normal. like candy. I was in walmart the other day, and looked at the Walmart brand of jelly beans, spice drops, candy corn, and jelly slices. They are all Gluten free, says so on the back of the package. Its great, also only $1 a bag. Thought I would share this in case anyone would like to try some sweets.

are you are the one to ask then, what about skittles , are they milk free too? sick of fruit pasitlles, after 3 packs you get sick of them.

amber-rose Contributor

I think they are dairy free! But you may want to double check on the ingredient label on the candy. Here's what a website said the ingredients were.

Sugar, Corn syrup, Partially hydrogenated soybean oil,

Fruit juice from concentrate (orange, lime, grape, strawberry, lemon),

Less than 2% citric acid, Dextrin, Natrual and artificial flavors,

Gelatin, Food strach - modified, color (Yellow lake 5, yellow lake 6,

red lake 40, blue lake 2, blue lake1, yellow 5, yellow 6, blue 1)

blue 1), Ascorbic acid

Also Reese's PB cups are gluten-free, but some people says it makes there stomach hurt still.

      This is really helpful  I had not considered sugar alcohols or inulin as triggers. Thanks for the practical baking tips too color coding and baking G F first makes a lot of sense.

Thiamax (TTFD) plus a B-complex, and if you want benfotiamine, the Life Extension formula covers that at ~100 mg.

      High fiber can definitely cause sudden GI distress especially if it’s a new addition but accidental gluten exposure can feel similar. Keeping a simple food/symptom log and introducing new gluten-free foods one at a time can really help you spot the pattern.

      Thanks for asking  I’m mainly looking for gluten-free staples and snacks. Any recommendations for brands or go-to items would be appreciated.

      sorry a bit confused so I should take my B complex along with Objective Nutrients Thiamax for TTFD but what about a Benfotiamine to take. The Life extensions contains Benfotiamine and Thiamine together or im confusing myself. I am trying to see if I take Thiamax what should I take for Benfotiamine. Thanks EDITING after further research I see ones water soluble ones fat soluble. So I guess 100MG as you suggested of Life Extension contains Benfotiamine and Thiamine Hydrochloride. and the Objective Nutrients Thiamax contains TTFD.     would work for me.

      I put on over 12kg by eating protein with every meal, 3 to 5 times a day. Eggs, Chicken, Tuna, Turkey etc. I stay away from too much red meat as it can be inflammatory. Scott is correct. I've come across a bunch of Coeliac PT's on Tiktok and Instagram. They all say the same thing, the key is getting enough protein and consistency.
