Someone just sent me an e-mail saying that M&M's in all forms are not gluten free?? Just wondered if anyone has any current information stating otherwise...

I always thought M&M's (except for the crispy rice kind) were safe. Please tell me they haven't "changed their ingredients" on us.....

And while we're on the topic of CHOCOLATE....

Does anyone know if the Hershey Kisses (w/ peanut butter) are gluten-free?? I've confirmed that regular and dark chocolate hershey kisses are okay but haven't yet had a chance to call about the peanut butter ones. Thougth i'd check w/ you guys.

my sister just called about m&m's a couple of weeks ago and they confirmed that only the crispy rice ones are not gluten-free.

as far as hershey's, it was my understanding that they would clearly list allergens in the ingredient list. (?) maybe i'm remembering wrong.

happy snacking! i think i'll go have a hershey bar, you made me hungry! ;)

Are the regular hershey bars fine or is it just the kisses? And what about dove chocolate and heath bars?

I called about the M&M's 2-3 weeks ago for another member. Nothing had changed, the crispy ones were the only ones with gluten--the rest are fine.

As far as Hershey--they will clearly list any gluten ingredients on the label--they won't hide anything. If you call during business hours and speak to a person, they will even go over the ingredients of the product you are asking about with you and explain what is what. A nice woman did this for me last fall when I called about some Halloween candies.

As of last week, all Dove chocolate is gluten-free *except* the chocolate covered almonds--that is per the recorded message on their 800 line.

A word of caution, the large flat dark chocolate bars have an almond CC warning--and I got a reaction from one of them last night. I eat the small individually wrapped and the regular size candy bars of dark choc. with out a problem. Those do no carry the almond warning.

      Toddler recently diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes and need help understanding coeliac screening test results

      By RMJ · Posted

      Celiac testing often includes looking at total IgA levels, because if someone is deficient the IgA tests for celiac disease may not be accurate (false negatives).  Did her doctors say anything about how much gluten she should consume?  If you change that it could affect her next test results.

      @mytype1diabetes, Do keep in mind that Celiac Disease is genetic, so all first degree relatives (parents, siblings) should be checked for celiac disease as well.   Thiamine deficiency is common in breastfeeding mothers and their babies, even in countries where people are well fed and eat healthy.  A high carbohydrate diet requires more thiamine to turn those calories into energy.  Mothers on a high carbohydrate diet can be deficient in thiamine which also causes the infant to be deficient. DKA is found in children with thiamine deficiency.   Thiamine deficiency correction is part of DKA treatment. Thiamine deficiency needs to be addressed and corrected quickly and maintained.  Ask for an Erythrocyte Transketolace test for thiamine deficiency. I've experienced this myself.  Diabetics continue to lose thiamine due to poor renal uptake. Thiamine should be supplemented daily.  Thiamine is a constant in my life which helps immensely with my diabetes.   References: Thiamine deficiency in pregnancy and lactation: implications and present perspectives https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10158844/ Pediatric thiamine deficiency disorders in high‐income countries between 2000 and 2020: a clinical reappraisal https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9290709/ Hiding in Plain Sight: Modern Thiamine Deficiency https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8533683/ The Impact of Thiamine Treatment in the Diabetes Mellitus   https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC3376872/#:~:text=Low plasma thiamine level was,increase in thiamine transporter expression.

      Thanks for this Wends and appreciate your insights! I'm not sure what you mean by "Your toddler is unlikely igA deficient with a titer of 22, as a positive test." ? I had a look at Dr Bernstein's work and we've definitely noticed that on lower carb days her blood glucose levels are much easier to manage. Our nutritionist advised against a low carb diet for toddlers as they said young children, unlike adults, rely on carbs for their growth and development. What's your view on this? Regarding malabsorption - it's so hard to know what's "normal". My daughter's poos have always been on the softer side as she's breastfed and we eat very healthily. I've booked an appointment with our GP and will take some photos!

      Thank you all for your kind wishes, it means so much. The information you've all shared has been so useful. We have a great diabetes team and trust the consultants decision to wait a few months to repeat the blood test. We also don't want to put her through any more tests than she needs as it's so tough on her and us! It feels unbearable waiting when she has some unexplained symptoms and as her mum I want to make sure we're doing everything we can to keep her healthy. That's interesting re: iron levels. I hadn't thought about that but I'm pretty sure this would've been checked as she was in hospital with DKA and they did lots of tests. I have requested a copy of her results.

      It seems crazy to me that even when you call a manufacturer they can't, in this day and age, answer the simple question about what exactly is in their product!!
