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!

      If you're just starting out in being gluten free, I would expect it to take months before you learned enough about hidden sources of gluten before you stopped making major mistakes. Ice cream?

      We feel your pain. It took me 20+ years of regularly going to doctors desperate for answers only to be told there was nothing wrong with me … when I was 20 pounds underweight, suffering from severe nutritional deficiencies, and in a great deal of pain. I had to figure it out for myself. If you're in the U.S., not having an official diagnosis does mean you can't claim a tax deduction for the extra expense of gluten-free foods. But it can also be a good thing. Pre-existing conditions might be a reason why a health insurance company might reject your application or charge you more money. No official diagnosis means you don't have a pre-existing condition. I really hope you don't live in the U.S. and don't have these challenges. Do you need an official diagnosis for a specific reason? Else, I wouldn't worry about it. As long as you're diligent in remaining gluten free, your body should be healing as much as possible so there isn't much else you could do anyway. And there are plenty of us out here who never got that official diagnosis because we couldn't eat enough gluten to get tested. Now that the IL-2 test is available, I suppose I could take it, but I don't feel the need. Someone else not believing me really isn't my problem as long as I can stay in control of my own food.

      If you're just starting out in being gluten free, I would expect it to take months before you learned enough about hidden sources of gluten before you stopped making major mistakes. Ice cream? Not safe unless they say it is gluten free. Spaghetti sauce? Not safe unless is says gluten-free. Natural ingredients? Who knows what's in there. You pretty much need to cook with whole ingredients yourself to avoid it completely. Most gluten-free products should be safe, but while you're in the hypersensitive phase right after going gluten free, you may notice that when something like a microwave meal seems to not be gluten-free … then you find out that it is produced in a shared facility where it can become contaminated. My reactions were much-more severe after going gluten free. The analogy that I use is that you had a whole army of soldiers waiting for some gluten to attack, and now that you took away their target, when the stragglers from the gluten army accidentally wander onto the battlefield, you still have your entire army going out and attacking them. Expect it to take two years before all of the training facilities that were producing your soldiers have fallen into disrepair and are no longer producing soldiers. But that is two years after you stop accidentally glutening yourself. Every time you do eat gluten, another training facility can be built and more soldiers will be waiting to attack. Good luck figuring things out.

      KAN-101 Treatment for Coeliac Disease

      By Russ H · Posted

      This treatment looks promising. Its aim is to provoke immune tolerance of gluten, possibly curing the disease. It passed the phase 2 trial with flying colours, and I came across a post on Reddit by one of the study volunteers. Apparently, the results were good enough that the company is applying for fast track approval.  Anokion Announces Positive Symptom Data from its Phase 2 Trial Evaluating KAN-101 for the Treatment of Celiac Disease https://www.reddit.com/r/Celiac/comments/1krx2wh/kan_101_trial_put_on_hold/
