Cadbury's Cream Eggs

I thought I'd add my two cents. ;) Cadbury is made by Hershey's. Hershey's is a very unfriendly company to those on a gluten free diet, so I would not buy their products on principle. Also these eggs contain "natural flavors" so they will not tell you if they are truly gluten free! :angry: I need to do more research on glucose syrup before I make a decision about that.

Mars is a gluten free friendly company. Dove truffle eggs DO have gluten free ingredients...and they are DELICIOUS! (I didn't even buy any for my son's Easter basket for the fear that I'd eat them all! :P )

Totally agree. Dove has WAY better chocolate than Hershey's.

Thank you so much cruelshoes! It is good to know that I can safely ingest glucose syrup and maltodextrin.

Yes, I just made the same discovery, having called Hershey's to ask if Cadbury bars were gluten-free. She said that although there did not appear to be any ingredients that had gluten, she would not commit to saying they were gluten-free. I couldn't believe it. They are the final authority; they should know what is in their products. Boo, Hershey's.

      The NIMA Gluten Sensor Is Back and Rebuilt for Greater Confidence

      I hope the new and improved NIMA sensor is everything this article says it is. However, I am uncomfortable with this post. I realize celiac.com has to sell advertising and have no objection with that. But this post seems a gray area where celiac.com is saying that they "reviewed and edited" the post, which implies endorsement from "a celiac disease expert...

      Italy Tests Nationwide Screening to Catch Hidden Celiac Disease in Children

      A broad screening program like this also has the potential to provide insight into the reasons why ~10% of people with HLA DQ2/DQ8 develop Celiac while the majority do not.

      Gluten Free Coffee

      @Peace lily, can you be more specific about which coffee manufacturers have told you that their coffee is probably not safe for celiacs? What you say is contrary to just about everything I find when I research this issue on the internet, even taking into account cross contamination. The exception seems to be when flavorings are added that may contain grain...

      Gluten Free Coffee

      By trents · Posted

      @Peace lily, can you be more specific about which coffee manufacturers have told you that their coffee is probably not safe for celiacs? What you say is contrary to just about everything I find when I research this issue on the internet, even taking into account cross contamination. The exception seems to be when flavorings are added that may contain grain products made from wheat, barley or rye. This individual tested numerous coffees with a Nima gluten sensor and found no issues: https://www.goodforyouglutenfree.com/is-coffee-gluten-free/. There may also be an issue with cross reactivity for some celiacs:  https://www.glutenfreesociety.org/is-coffee-safe-on-a-gluten-free-diet/ . Keep in mind that when you ask questions of food companies concerning whether or not a product is gluten free or "safe for celiacs" you may be getting an ultra-cautious response due to the fact that they are careful to cover their backsides when the product hasn't been specifically tested for gluten content or is not being marketed as such.

Went to my gastroenterologist in this past nov. said everything looks good . I am looking into coffee now and what I’ve read cross contamination is possible. I’m stumped.

      Mallorca Guide

      By Mettedkny · Posted

      You already got some great recommendations. Just want to second that Mallorca (and Spain in general) is one of the best and easiest places for celiacs to travel. I have been to Mallorca multiple times and have never experienced any cross contaminations and there are SO many easy to buy options in regular supermarkets. Hope you have a wonderful trip.
