I would love a box of chocolates for valentines day! My dh got a box of chocolates for the holiday and I wanted one so badly :angry: But they were Russell Stover and had a produced in the same facility as wheat warning so I avoided them (had already been glutened and feeling horrible).

Does anyone know of a carmel and nut mix of boxed chocolates that are safe?

Thanks,

Hez

That's a good question. I would be interested in knowing that answer. I do know that NECCO candy hearts are gluten free.

Just looked it up. Russell Stover is gluten free, with the exception of cookie type candies.

I wonder if the statement was a cya? Anyone had issues with Russel Stover?

Thanks,

Here is what Russell Stover says on their website-

Do your products contain gluten?

Answer:

To the best of our knowledge, our products are gluten free

I just saw at Wal-Mart both Whitman's and Russel Stover's have Organic boxed chocolates that say GLUTEN-FREE right on the front! Very cool! I think that both companies use shared equipment for their regular boxed chocolates, but the ORGANIC ones must be different. Yay! (I bought them for myself, I'm not waiting for Valentine's Day :P )

Somone just posted that Ghiradelli chocolates are gluten-free - the company response was pretty thorough, too. Can't remember which category had the thread.

Maybe they have a valentine's assortment out there?

I'll try to check it out when I hit the grocery this week.

      Heat intolerant... Yikes

      By captaincrab55 · Posted

      Hi Colleen H,   I suffered with the pins and needles/burning feeling in my legs and feet for at least  6 years until my Nephrologist figured out that I had to go on a low salt diet.  He said my kidneys weren't strong enough to remove the salt.  The simple fix was a diuretic, but that med leaves the uric acid behind, so that wasn't an option.  On the bright side the low salt diet lowered my BP over 20 points and and the pins and needles/burning feeling went away.  Good Luck and hope this helps.

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By trents · Posted

      I assume that you already know that genetic testing for celiac disease cannot be used to confirm a celiac diagnosis. About 40% of the general population has the genetic potential to develop celiac disease but only about 1% actually develop celiac disease. It can be used to rule out celiac disease with a high degree of confidence, however, in the case where the genetic testing is negative for the genes. Until and unless you are actually diagnosed with celiac disease I would not raise this as an issue with family. However, if you are diagnosed with celiac disease through blood antibody testing and/or endoscopy with positive biopsy I would suggest you encourage first degree relatives to also purse testing because there is a significant chance (somewhere betwee 10% and almost 50%, depending on which studies you reference) that they will also have or will develop active celiac disease. Often, there are symptoms are absent or very minor until damage to the small bowel lining or other body systems becomes significant so be prepared that they may blow you off. We call this "silent celiac disease".
