First of all happy halloween everyone! This is my first year with celiac, every year I raid the kids candy bags after they go to bed (they don't need all that anyways!!! :P ) Could someone please just throw out some candy bars or other little tid bits that are known to be okay for us? Let me pick your brain! So far I know I am safe with the kraft caramels and hersheys chocolate, there has to be more????

Actually, I've heard that the miniature Reeses use wheat flour in the manufacturing process.

Milky Way Midnight is safe, regular Milky Way is not (malt in the nugat).

A Halloween story!!!!

Grandkids out treat or treating , ages 8 & 5. The five year old goes first & the lady hands him a pkg. of peanut butter crackers. He says" Oh I can't have these because they have wheat in them". The lady looked at him in a rude way & says "Oh no they don't ,its a cracker"!!!!!He then turns to us & shakes his head & tells her that crackers are made from wheat! She comes back with "NO HONEY" they are made from flour!!!!!!!!!!!DUH!!! At this point we told him to take the crackers & Daddy would eat them.

We have been teaching him to look at food & try to read the label for certain words.It's pretty bad when a kid knows what flour comes from & an adult doesn't... We really never thought he would refuse any halloween stuff so we were totaly shocked when he went into the discussion about wheat.

I guess our lessons on Wheat have really been tattooed into his brain.... Now if only the older one can get it & not try to cheat at school!!!!!

I think he would have argued the wheat /flour issue all night...When we got home & was sorting good & bad treats he started to laugh when we got to the crackers...Then he said " I don't think she was a very smart lady"... Out of the mouths of babes...... I really wanted to agree...

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

      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.

      Thanks @Scott Adams. Do you know if Kirkland Signature supplements share facility and production lines with other products containing gluten? I'm worried that I'll react to this brand just like I did with other gluten-free labelled supplement brands.

      This is a really common area of confusion. Most natural cheeses (cheddar, Swiss, mozzarella, Parmesan, brie, camembert, and most blue cheeses) are inherently gluten-free, and you’re right that the molds used today are typically grown on gluten-free media. The bigger risks tend to come from processed cheeses: shredded cheese (anti-caking agents), cheese spreads, beer-washed rinds, smoke-flavored cheeses, and anything with added seasonings or “natural flavors,” where cross-contact can happen. As for yeast, you’re also correct — yeast itself is gluten-free. The issue is the source: brewer’s yeast and yeast extracts can be derived from barley unless labeled gluten-free, while baker’s yeast is generally safe. When in doubt, sticking with whole, unprocessed cheeses and products specifically labeled gluten-free is the safest approach, especially if you’re highly sensitive.
