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.

      EMA Result

      By trents · Posted

      Let me hasten to add that if you will be undergoing an endoscopy/biopsy, it is critical that you do not begin efforts to reduce gluten beforehand. Doing so will render the results invalid as it will allow the small bowel lining to heal and, therefore, obscure the damage done by celiac disease which is what the biopsy is looking for.

      Violent reaction to gluten after going gluten-free?

      Seeking advice on potential gluten challenge

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      That’s a really tough situation. A few key points: as mentioned, a gluten challenge does require daily gluten for several weeks to make blood tests meaningful, but negative tests after limited exposure aren’t reliable. Dermatitis herpetiformis can also be tricky to diagnose unless the biopsy is taken from normal-looking skin next to a lesion. Some people with celiac or DH don’t react every time they’re exposed, so lack of symptoms doesn’t rule it out. Given your history and family cancer risk, this is something I’d strongly discuss with a celiac-experienced gastroenterologist or dermatologist before attempting a challenge on your own, so risks and benefits are clearly weighed.

      By Greymo · Posted

      https://celiac.org/glutenexposuremarkers/    yes, two hours after accidents ingesting gluten I am vomiting and then diarrhea- then exhaustion and a headache. see the article above- There is research that shows our reactions.

      EMA Result

      By trents · Posted

      Concerning the EMA positive result, the EMA was the original blood test developed to detect celiac disease and has largely been replaced by the tTG-IGA which has a similar reliability confidence but is much less expensive to run. Yes, a positive EMA is very strong evidence of celiac disease but not foolproof. In the UK, a tTG-IGA score that is 10x normal or greater will often result in foregoing the endoscopy/biopsy. Weaker positives on the tTG-IGA still trigger the endoscopy/biopsy. That protocol is being considered in the US but is not yet in place.
