Hi, I'm Kaya's mum. Here in New Zealand , on the Coeliac Society web site, we have access to the Food Database which includes amongst others the gluten free foods list. This is submitted by manufacturers to the dietitian responsible at Auckland Hospital and verified before it goes on the list. We are given a copy if we belong to the Coeliac society and it's updated annually.

Many of the same foods would be available to you ( in Aussie ) like confectionery. Cadbury has quite an extensive list Perhaps it would be worth checking out.

I have found the yummiest Chocolate on planet!

Tropical Source, is amazing. They are seem asociated with Eskal.

It is a bit expensive, but so good, and they're are diff types as well, I am currently munching on mint choc chip.

I got it from the Darrel Lea shop but have also seen it in a health food shop.

It says that it is made in a dedicated facility and the one that I have is dairy free also ( I would assume this is the same for all but please check.)

LolI swear it so yummy , you will want to hide from the gluten eaters in your house coz they'll want to nic it!

Thanks for this chocky sweets thread. I have got ill with what feels like tonsillitis ( tonsils removed but feels like that) and in my feverish state could only remember you saying that Flake & Twirl were OK. I was collapsing with hunger and can't swallow - so that bit of choc and Sweets icecream and fresh orange juice has saved me.I always get sick on weekends :(

Hello fellow Aussies,

I'm pleased to let you know about a couple of lollies we Aussie Coeliacs can indulge in - Minties and Fruit Tingles! :)

Fruit Tingles were always my favourite lollies, before I was diagnosed. I was so glad when I read a product/ingredient list that I can still eat them. Also, we can have Jila mints, which have glucose syrup in them, but that's OK.

Another treat I just had today (not a lolly, but dessert) is Weiss Lemon Sorbet. It's just like traditional lemon gelati and very yummy. You can buy it at most supermarkets in the ice cream cabinet.

Cheers,

Cass.

Whoo, I I thought minties would have something bad in them so I was avoiding them, I'm going away this week, so I think I will have to get myself some.

Can anyone tell me where I can find a list of Nestle bars we can eat or If you know wich ones we can have, post them here please.

Also does anyone know of any mint/ choc mint ice cream we can have, that is available from supermarkets.

thnks:)

Have you tried writing to the company ? Streets were really good when I did that.

Hi again,

Weiss Lemon Sorbet does contain glucose syrup from wheat but as someone else mentioned in this thread, the Coeliac Society of Australia has confirmed that this is safe for us to eat (the wheat is so refined to create a sugar that no gluten remains in the glucose syryp).

Also, here's my list from Nestle of safe products for Coeliacs:

ZONES spearmint & peppermint

LIFE SAVERS all varieties

ALLENS freckles

ALLENS lollipops

ALLENS Steamrollers

MINTIES

WONKA Fruit Tingles

WONKA Gobstoppers 50gm, Made in USA

WONKA Fun Dip

WONKA Redskins, Made in New Zealand

NESTLE Choc, Milk & White CHOC BITS

NESTLE Choc, Milk & White MELTS

PLAISTOWE White Choc, Milk Chocolate and Dark Chocolate

NESTLE Cooking Chocolate

NESTLE Club Hazlenut Creme

NESTLE Club Rich Dark Chocolate

NESTLE Club Roasted Almond

NESTLE Club Rum n' Raisin

NESTLE Double Blend Milk Chocolate

NESTLE Double Blend Coconut Eclair Milk Chocolate

NESTLE Double Blend Mud Truffle Milk Chocolate

NESTLE Double Blend Fruit & Almond Milk Chocolate

NESTLE Milky Bar plain

WONKA Mud Sludge Chocolate

AERO Peppermint

AERO Milk

AERO Mixed fun-pack

ROLO 50gm stick packs only (Made in UK)

NESTLE Golden Rough

NESTLE Scorched Almonds

NESTLE Baking Cocoa

So there you go - lots of treats for Christmas! This list is from an excellent photocopied book of manufacturers' lists from my dietitian in Melbourne.

Cheers,

Cass.

Hi everyone,

I am not a coeliac but my 10 year old daughter is so my knowledge of gluten free chocolates and lollies is pretty good as you can imagine.

You can definately eat chocolates and lollies with glucose syrup and caramel for those that don't know. Even if it states that glucose syprup and caramel is from wheat it is still safe too eat as is Dextrose.

Apparently Target do a party mix that is fine.

Chuppa Chups (except for cola flavour)

Jelly Bellys

Heaps of chocolates are fine - just read the ingredients for wheat products.

The Natural confectionary company do 1 or two that are okay - Fruit Salad jubes I think.

I would suggest contacting various companies such as Nestle, Cadbury etc. and asking them to send you out an updated list of gluten free products.

      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.

      @Jane02, I hear you about the kale and collard greens.  I don't do dairy and must eat green leafies, too, to get sufficient calcium.  I must be very careful because some calcium supplements are made from ground up crustacean shells.  When I was deficient in Vitamin D, I took high doses of Vitamin D to correct the deficiency quickly.  This is safe and nontoxic.  Vitamin D level should be above 70 nmol/L.  Lifeguards and indigenous Pacific Islanders typically have levels between 80-100 nmol/L.   Levels lower than this are based on amount needed to prevent disease like rickets and osteomalacia. We need more thiamine when we're physically ill, emotionally and mentally stressed, and if we exercise like an athlete or laborer.  We need more thiamine if we eat a diet high in simple carbohydrates.  For every 500 kcal of carbohydrates, we need 500-1000 mg more of thiamine to process the carbs into energy.  If there's insufficient thiamine the carbs get stored as fat.  Again, recommended levels set for thiamine are based on minimum amounts needed to prevent disease.  This is often not adequate for optimum health, nor sufficient for people with absorption problems such as Celiac disease.  Gluten free processed foods are not enriched with vitamins like their gluten containing counterparts.  Adding a B Complex and additional thiamine improves health for Celiacs.  Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  Thiamine helps the mitochondria in cells to function.  Thiamine interacts with each of the other B vitamins.  They are all water soluble and easily excreted if not needed. Interesting Reading: Clinical trial: B vitamins improve health in patients with coeliac disease living on a gluten-free diet https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19154566/ Safety and effectiveness of vitamin D mega-dose: A systematic review https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34857184/ High dose dietary vitamin D allocates surplus calories to muscle and growth instead of fat via modulation of myostatin and leptin signaling https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38766160/ Safety of High-Dose Vitamin D Supplementation: Secondary Analysis of a Randomized Controlled Trial https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31746327/ Vitamins and Celiac Disease: Beyond Vitamin D https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11857425/ Investigating the therapeutic potential of tryptophan and vitamin A in modulating immune responses in celiac disease: an experimental study https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40178602/ Investigating the Impact of Vitamin A and Amino Acids on Immune Responses in Celiac Disease Patients https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10814138/

      Thank you so much @knitty kitty for this insightful information! I would have never considered fractionated coconut oil to be a potential source of GI upset. I will consider all the info you shared. Very interesting about the Thiamine deficiency.  I've tracked daily averages of my intake in a nutrition software. The only nutrient I can't consistently meet from my diet is vitamin D. Calcium is a hit and miss as I rely on vegetables, dark leafy greens as a major source, for my calcium intake. I'm able to meet it when I either eat or juice a bundle of kale or collard greens daily haha. My thiamine intake is roughly 120% of my needs, although I do recognize that I may not be absorbing all of these nutrients consistently with intermittent unintentional exposures to gluten.  My vitamin A intake is roughly 900% (~6400 mcg/d) of my needs as I eat a lot of sweet potato, although since it's plant-derived vitamin A (beta-carotene) apparently it's not likely to cause toxicity.  Thanks again!

      Hello, @Jane02,  I take Naturewise D 3.  It contains olive oil.   Some Vitamin D supplements, like D Drops, are made with fractionated coconut oil which can cause digestive upsets.  Fractionated coconut oil is not the same as coconut oil used for cooking.  Fractionated coconut oil has been treated for longer shelf life, so it won't go bad in the jar, and thus may be irritating to the digestive system. I avoid supplements made with soy because many people with Celiac Disease also react to soy.  Mixed tocopherols, an ingredient in Thornes Vitamin D, may be sourced from soy oil.  Kirkland's has soy on its ingredient list. I avoid things that might contain or be exposed to crustaceans, like Metagenics says on its label.  I have a crustacean/shellfish/fish allergy.  I like Life Extension Bioactive Complete B Complex.  I take additional Thiamine B 1 in the form Benfotiamine which helps the intestines heal, Life Extension MegaBenfotiamine. Thiamine is needed to activate Vitamin D.   Low thiamine can make one feel like they are getting glutened after a meal containing lots of simple carbohydrates like white rice, or processed gluten free foods like cookies and pasta.   It's rare to have a single vitamin deficiency.  The water soluble B Complex vitamins should be supplemented together with additional Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine and Thiamine TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) to correct subclinical deficiencies that don't show up on blood tests.  These are subclinical deficiencies within organs and tissues.  Blood is a transportation system.  The body will deplete tissues and organs in order to keep a supply of thiamine in the bloodstream going to the brain and heart.   If you're low in Vitamin D, you may well be low in other fat soluble vitamins like Vitamin A and Vitamin K. Have you seen a dietician?
