Gluten Free Confections

www.anastasiaconfections.com is the brand. It's marked gluten free and is wonderful. Three of their four lines of confections are gluten free including their taffy. I've only tried the Pina Colada coconut patties and they are like a gourmet Mound's of sorts. They sell in many Marshall's and TJ Maxx stores. You can get their toll free # off their website and call with you own zip code to find out where they may be in your area (if they are).

I'm going to have to go in to my Marshall's and see if they have any. I used to work there for 3 years(off and on because of school). We always got different items in. Hey it gives me an excuse to shop for clothes I don't need too. :)

Would you know if these are also free of High fructose corn syrup, corn syrup, dairy and soy? Yikes! That's a lot!

I didn't keep the box - it looks like it holds almost twice as much as it could - but I'd say it is not free of that other stuff since it's so sweet. But I could be totally wrong so you'd need to either call the company (toll free is on the website) or find a box and read it. I'm going to have a half of one now. It's too rich to eat a whole one at a time and they are very small in the first place. Yum!

      Hi,  My 7 year daughter has complained of this in the past, which I thought were part of her glutening symptom, but more recently I have come to figure out it's part of her histamine overload symptom. This one symptom was part of her broader profile, which included irritability, extreme hunger, confusion, post-nasal drip. You might want to look up "histamine intolerance". I wish I had known of this at the time of her diagnosis, life would have been much easier.  I hope you are able to figure out.

      My 5yo was diagnosed with celiac last year by being tested after his sister was diagnosed. We are very strict on the gluten-free diet, but unsure what his reactions are as he was diagnosed without many symptoms other than low ferritin.  He had a school party where his teacher made gluten-free gingerbread men. I almost said no because she made it in her kitchen but I thought it would be ok.  Next day and for a few after his behavior is awful. Hitting, rude, disrespectful. Mainly he kept saying his legs were shaking. Is this a gluten exposure symptom that anyone else gets? Also the bad behavior?

      Not necessarily. The "Gluten Free" label means not more than 20ppm of gluten in the product which is often not enough for super sensitive celiacs. You would need to be looking for "Certified Gluten Free" (GFCO endorsed) which means no more than 10ppm of gluten. Having said that, "Gluten Free" doesn't mean that there will necessarily be more gluten than "Certified Gluten" in any given batch run. It just means there could be.

      I think it is wise to seek a second opinion from a GI doc and to go on a gluten free diet in the meantime. The GI doc may look at all the evidence, including the biopsy report, and conclude you don't need anything else to reach a dx of celiac disease and so, there would be no need for a gluten challenge. But if the GI doc does want to do more testing, you can worry about the gluten challenge at that time. But between now and the time of the appointment, if your symptoms improve on a gluten free diet, that is more evidence. Just keep in mind that if a gluten challenge is called for, the bare minimum challenge length is two weeks of the daily consumption of at least 10g of gluten, which is about the amount found in 4-6 slices of wheat bread. But, I would count on giving it four weeks to be sure.
