Hi,

I have a quick question....I know that the regular-sized Reese's are gluten-free. How about the small ones? (the ones wrapped in orangy foil that are bite-sized).....thanks...oh, just out of interest, does anyone know about the other varieties? (white choc., inside out, etc.). Thanks :)

celiac3270,

The small pb cups are gluten-free. I eat them with no problems (and I believe that info is on the delphiforum). I don't know about the others you've mentioned.

Happy eating. :-)

Last year during some holiday (Easter?) I picked up a bag of the small ones and it clearly listed wheat on the ingredients. . .I have never seen it on the regular ones though. . .but I never eat them so who knows. . .I just didn't buy them that trip and was suprised to see it.

Hmm....could it have changed since Easter??? Now I'm confused!!! :o

celiac3270, I hope you didn't get sick from eating them! I eat them with no problem, and I'm pretty sensitive.

No, I haven't had them yet. I'm wondering if Kristina is referring to the "Reese's Pieces"? I'll definitely check the packaging for ingredients, though, before I ever eat any.

Why would I refer to reeses pieces in a tiny reeses cup thread? C'mon celiac3270.

I think it was just an Easter thing since I haven't seen it since.

With all Reeses candies, just read the ingredients.

i dont understand why the small ones would have gluten and not the big ones...arent they the same?? i thought it was just a size difference. (i wouldnt think they would use different ingredients.)

Sometimes during holidays and such when they do special ones they change things around. . .that's why I was saying to be careful.

MySuicidalTurtle is right: at holiday time, ingredients can change. Companies want to shake things up a bit and get consumers to buy their product, so the formulations are sometimes a little different. Just remember to always read the labels!

Ooh.....scary...thanks for the warning about holiday products--that's annoying! And as of right now, they don't even need to change their labels! Oh well, 2 more years.....

If some Reeces are gluten-free, and other Reeces list wheat, then isn't there too much of a cross-contamination issue to eat any of them anyway? Surely they are run on the same lines during manufacturing.

They could but they may not. . .

I think that there are far too many foods processed in non-dedicated plants or on non-dedicated lines for us to avoid those foods. In many of the bigger, non-specialty food companies, the products are produced in factories that also produce gluten-containing products. Therefore, to avoid those foods would be to avoid most mainstream products including FritoLays, etc. I'm paranoid, but I realize that there isn't much I can do about that and it's a risk we all take.

Most companies will also produce the gluten-free stuff before the wheatful things, to limit cross-contamination. It is a possiblilty, though, and like celiac3270 says, it's a risk we take. Each of us needs to weigh the risks, and decide for ourselves if it is worth it. For instance, I eat Quaker oatmeal, even though there is a risk of field contamination. I would not get any kind of cereal except Malt-O-Meal corn pops if I did not. The only risk with Quaker is field contamination, and I can not do anything about that. Technically, it is a risk for everything, even rice. It just depends on how much risk you are willing to take.

White chocolate Reese's are gluten free. We called about them a couple months ago. Happy snacking!

      Celiac and allergic to common subs and adds in prepared foods

      By DAR girl · Posted

      Looking for help sourcing gluten-free products that do not contain potato or corn derived ingredients. I have other autoimmune conditions (Psoriatic Arthritis and Sjogrens) so I’m looking for prepared foods as I have fatigue and cannot devote a lot of time to baking my own treats.

      Disregarded

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I am so sorry you're going through this. It's completely understandable to feel frustrated, stressed, and disregarded after such a long and difficult health journey. It's exhausting to constantly advocate for yourself, especially when you're dealing with so many symptoms and positive diagnoses like SIBO, while still feeling unwell. The fact that you have been diligently following the diet without relief is a clear sign that something else is going on, and your doctors should be investigating other causes or complications, not dismissing your very real suffering.

      Paying for my own Celiac screening at WalkInLab so a positive result doesn’t become part of my medical history

      By Oldturdle · Posted

      It is just so sad that health care in the United States has come to this.  Health insurance should be available to everyone, not just the healthy or the rich.  My heart goes out to you.  I would not hesitate to have the test and pay for it myself.  My big concern would be how you could keep the results truly private.  I am sure that ultimately, you could not.  A.I. is getting more and more pervasive, and all data is available somewhere.  I don't know if you could give a fake name, or pay for your test with cash.  I certainly would not disclose any positive results on a private insurance application.  As I understand it, for an official diagnosis, an MD needs to review your labs and make the call.  If you end up in the ER, or some other situation, just request a gluten free diet, and say it is because you feel better when you don't eat gluten.      Hang in there, though.  Medicare is not that far away for you, and it will remove a lot of stress from your health care concerns.  You will even be able to "come out of the closet" about being Celiac!

      Yes, I've posted a few times about two companies: Request a Test and Ulta Labs. Also, pretty much we can all request any test we want (with the possible exception of the N protein Covid test and I'm sure a couple of others) with Lab Corp (or Pixel by Lab Corp) and Quest. I much prefer Lab Corp for their professionalism, ease of service and having it together administratively, at least in DC. And just so you know, Request a Test uses Lab Corp and Quest anyway, while Ulta Labs uses only Quest. Ulta Labs is cheaper than Request a Test, but I am tired of dealing with Quest, so I don't use them so much.

      Does Dailymed.nlm.nih.gov site have filters for gluten?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      PS - I think you meant this site, but I don't believe it has been updated in years: http://glutenfreedrugs.com/ so it is best to use: You can search this site for prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/
