Skittles

What the heck? The last package of skittles I looked at said wheat right on the label. I can't remember where it was.. I wonder if it was when I was in Cambodia. If so it might make sense, because M&M's in Cambodia contain wheat and the ones in the USA are gluten free. Weird! I just assumed that American skittles and starburst had gluten all this time!

I don't know if it's gluten or what but Reeses made me throw up. :( It might just be all the chemical crap thats in them.

I'm so excited to find out the Dove promises are gluten free! YAYYYYYYYYYYY!

You poor thing! Bags and bags of Dove chocolate is what helped me cope with this gluten-free diet. I should've bought stock in the Mars company!

I've learned the hard way to avoid ANYTHING that lists a generic ingredient like 'natural flavors' or 'spices', unless the packaging also specifically states it is a gluten-free item.

And at least here in the states, even if there is not an ingredient that raises a red flag, some candies are processed on equipment or packaged off conveyer belts that are coated with wheat flour to keep things from sticking. :(

I tend to shop the health food store for my chocolate, and only buy "regular" candies that specifically list themselves as gluten free. Yippey for Skittles and Hot Tamales! :D

I sometimes get Goya chocolate bars at the local Giant food store. They are dairy free but they do have soy lecithin in them.

Ingredients are sugar, chocolate liquor, vanillin, soy lecithin, salt. They come in a large bar with a bright yellow paper wrapper. I couldn't find an exact product page link for them. Goya suggests using them for hot chocolate. At my local Giant Foods they are in the Mexican foods section, not in the regular candy section. They are cheap compared to most chocolate and don't make me sick. They are also mostly sugar though, much sweeter and harder than a Snickers or such things. More like a baking chocolate bar but extra sugary sweet. They would probably work well to melt on top of home made candies, like nut bars or something.

When I'm having a bad candy bar craving...usually only during a specific time of each month (LOL) I snag some reese cups or a snickers. Not the little individually wrapped snack size as I'm told those are not ok to have sometimes.

I never seem to react.

The reese morsels on the other hand are NOT ok. I am pretty sure. I tried out the new Betty Crocker chocolate chip cookies and put some of the Reese morsels in and had some BAD issues with DH and stomach problems. I recently tried the chocolate chip cookies withOUT the morsels and NO issues what-so-ever.

      Need advice for some relief!

      Hi Kayla Huge sympathies. I was diagnosed in December, after 8 months of the most awful rash, literally top to toe. Mine is a work in progress. Im on just 50mg dapsone at the moment but probably need an increased dose to properly put the lid on it. As you have been now glutened, I wondered whether it might be worth asking for a skin biopsy to finally...

      Test interpretations

      I had been eating reduced gluten until about 3 days before the test. I did realize that wasn’t ideal, but it was experimental to see if gluten was actually bothering me. One slip up with soy sauce and it was quite clear to me that it was, lol.

      Possibly. Your total IGA (Immunoglobulin A, Qn, Serum) is actually high so you are not IGA deficient. In the absence of IGA deficiency, the most reliable celiac antibody test would be the t-Transglutaminase (tTG) IgA for which your score is within normal range.

      Possibly. Your total IGA (Immunoglobulin A, Qn, Serum) is actually high so you are not IGA deficient. In the absence of IGA deficiency, the most reliable celiac antibody test would be the t-Transglutaminase (tTG) IgA for which your score is within normal range. There are other things besides celiac disease that might cause an elevated DGP-IGA (Deamidated Gliadin Abs, lgA) for which you do have a positive score. It might also be of concern that your total IGA is elevated as that can indicate some other health problems, some of which are serious.  Had you been practicing a gluten free or a reduced gluten free diet prior to the blood draw? Talk to your physician about these things. I would also seek an endoscopy/biopsy of the small bowel to check for damage to the villous lining, which is the gold standard diagnostic test for celiac disease.

      how long does it take for the genetic blood test for celiac to come back?

      By catnapt · Posted

      how long does it take for the genetic blood test for celiac to come back? I saw the GI today, she was great. She says I def have an issue with gluten and that my symptoms align more with celiac disease than NCGS, so she's doing the genetic testing, Ordered a test for SIBO but said that's just to cover all bases, she doesn't think I have that. If the blood work comes back negative for the genes, then I will cancel the endoscopy. If positive, I will try the 2 week gluten challenge and get the endoscopy done. If I can't manage the gluten challenge (I had HORRIBLE symptoms last time and quit after 12 days) then we'll just assume it's celiac disease and go from there. She says she does a full nutrient panel on all her pts every year, that was nice to hear.I'm on so many supplements it would be nice to only have to get the ones I truly need! so yeh, really anxious about the test results for the genes!! I have an identical twin sister so I'd need to tell her if it's positive, she'd prob want to get tested too. *interesting note: when I said if the blood work comes back that I don't have the genes, then I'm in the clear - she said, well,,,,,,not necessarily. But she didn't want to go into as we had a lot to go over. I did make a  mental note of that comment and will ask her when I see her next time.   she was very thorough! I was impressed! she even checked- up on some lab work I had done that my Endo ordered. I like her, I am looking forward to seeing her again. I think I'll get some good advice and info from her she also complimented me on my diet.   said it was a very gut friendly and healthy diet
