Reese's......the Small Ones

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.

BRCoats Enthusiast

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.

MySuicidalTurtle Enthusiast

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.)

MySuicidalTurtle Enthusiast

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

plantime Contributor

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!

celiac3270 Collaborator

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.

MySuicidalTurtle Enthusiast

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.

plantime Contributor

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!

      Welcome to the celiac.com communiuty, @Matthias! Yes, we have been aware that this can be an issue with mushrooms but as long as they are rinsed thoroughly it should not be a problem since the mushrooms don't actually incorporate the gluten into their cellular structure. For the same reason, one needs to be careful when buying aged cheeses and products containing yeast because of the fact that they are sometimes cultured on gluten-containing substrate.

      The one kind of food I had been buying and eating without any worry for hidden gluten were unprocessed veggies. Well, yesterday I discovered yet another pitfall: cultivated mushrooms. I tried some new ones, Shimeji to be precise (used in many asian soup and rice dishes). Later, at home, I was taking a closer look at the product: the mushrooms were growing from a visible layer of shredded cereals that had not been removed. After a quick web research I learned that these mushrooms are commonly cultivated on a cereal-based medium like wheat bran. I hope that info his helpful to someone.

      I might suggest you consider buckwheat groats. https://www.amazon.com/Anthonys-Organic-Hulled-Buckwheat-Groats/dp/B0D15QDVW7/ref=sr_1_4_pp?crid=GOFG11A8ZUMU&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.bk-hCrXgLpHqKS8QJnfKJLKbKzm2BS9tIFv3P9HjJ5swL1-02C3V819UZ845_kAwnxTUM8Qa69hKl0DfHAucO827k_rh7ZclIOPtAA9KjvEEYtaeUV06FJQyCoi5dwcfXRt8dx3cJ6ctEn2VIPaaFd0nOye2TkASgSRtdtKgvXEEXknFVYURBjXen1Nc7EtAlJyJbU8EhB89ElCGFPRavEQkTFHv9V2Zh1EMAPRno7UajBpLCQ-1JfC5jKUyzfgsf7jN5L6yfZSgjhnwEbg6KKwWrKeghga8W_CAhEEw9N0.eDBrhYWsjgEFud6ZE03iun0-AEaGfNS1q4ILLjZz7Fs&dib_tag=se&keywords=buckwheat%2Bgroats&qid=1769980587&s=grocery&sprefix=buchwheat%2Bgroats%2Cgrocery%2C249&sr=1-4&th=1 Takes about 10 minutes to cook. Incidentally, I don't like quinoa either. Reminds me and smells to me like wet grass seed. When its not washed before cooking it makes me ill because of saponins in the seed coat. Yes, it can be difficult to get much dietary calcium without dairy. But in many cases, it's not the amount of calcium in the diet that is the problem but the poor uptake of it. And too much calcium supplementation can interfere with the absorption of vitamins and minerals in general because it raises gut pH.

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D. The dramatic, rapid normalization of stool frequency and form after removing wheat, along with improved tolerance of legumes and plant foods, is a classic pattern seen in gluten-driven disease rather than functional IBS. IBS usually worsens with fiber and beans, not improves. The fact that you carry HLA-DQ2.2 means celiac disease is absolutely possible, even if it’s less common than DQ2.5, and many people with DQ2.2 present later and are under-diagnosed. Your hesitation to reintroduce gluten is completely understandable — quality of life matters — and many people in your position choose to remain strictly gluten-free and treat it as medically necessary even without formal biopsy confirmation. If and when you’re ready, a physician can help you weigh options like limited gluten challenge, serology history, or documentation as “probable celiac.” What’s clear is that this wasn’t just random IBS — you identified the trigger, and your body has been very consistent in its response.
