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.

      Fighting for a name

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I am so sorry you're going through this bad experience--it's difficult when your own lived reality of cause and effect is dismissed by the very professionals meant to help you. You are absolutely right—your violent physical reactions are not "what you think," but undeniable data points, and it's a form of medical gaslighting to be told otherwise, especially when you have a positive HLA-DQ2 gene and a clear clinical picture. Since your current "celiac specialist" is not addressing the core issue or your related conditions like SIBO and chronic fatigue, it may be time for a strategic pivot. Instead of trying to "reprove" your celiac disease to unwilling ears, consider seeking out a new gastroenterologist or functional medicine doctor, and frame the conversation around managing the complications of a confirmed gluten-free diet for celiac disease. Go in and say, "I have celiac disease, am strictly gluten-free, but I am still suffering from these specific complications: SIBO, chronic fatigue, dermatological issues, and high blood pressure linked to pain. I need a partner to help me address these related conditions." This shifts the focus from a debate about your diagnosis to a collaborative plan for your current suffering, which is the help you truly need and deserve to work toward bouncing back.

      Hello, no I had to have them re done and then used a liner over the top.  Many dentists are not aware of the celiac effects.  Best of luck.   There is other material, yet, very expensive.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      He is not just a psychiatrist.  He is also a neuroscientist.  And yes, I have already read those studies.   I agree with benfotiamine.  This is short term while glutened/inflammation occurs.  As I had already mentioned, these symptoms no longer exist when this phase passes.  And yes, I know that celiac is a disease of malnutrition.  We are working with a naturopath.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      Please do more research before you settle on nicotine. Dr. Paul New house is a psychiatrist.  His latest study involves the effect of nicotine patches on Late Life Depression which has reached no long term conclusions about the benefits.   Effects of open-label transdermal nicotine antidepressant augmentation on affective symptoms and executive function in late-life depression https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39009312/   I'm approaching the subject from the Microbiologist's point of view which shows nicotine blocks Thiamine B1 uptake and usage:   Chronic Nicotine Exposure In Vivo and In Vitro Inhibits Vitamin B1 (Thiamin) Uptake by Pancreatic Acinar Cells https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26633299/   While supplementation with thiamine in the form Benfotiamine can protect from damage done by  nicotine: Benfotiamine attenuates nicotine and uric acid-induced vascular endothelial dysfunction in the rat https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18951979/   I suggest you study the beneficial effects of Thiamine (Benfotiamine and TTFD) on the body and mental health done by Dr. Derrick Lonsdale and Dr. Chandler Marrs.  Dr. Lonsdale had studied thiamine over fifty years.   Hiding in Plain Sight: Modern Thiamine Deficiency https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8533683/ I suggest you read their book Thiamine Deficiency Disease, Dysautonomia, and High Calorie Malnutrition.     Celiac Disease is a disease of malabsorption causing malnutrition.  Thiamine and benfotiamine: Focus on their therapeutic potential https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10682628/
