In the US m&ms are gluten free with the exception of the crunchy ones.

I have just had a classic DH (Dermatitis Herpataformis) autoimmune gluten reaction to M&M's over the last 2 nights, extreme bilateral subcutaneous itching on the outsides of my ankles. I religiously avoid gluten, and everyone says that M&M's are gluten-free, but they contain dextrin. Dextrin in the U.S. is generally corn-based and gluten-free, but if the pet food debacle has taught us anything it is that today's raw ingredient supply chains are murky, international, and beyond the FDA's ability to successfully monitor. If the Purchasing Dept. at Master Foods buys the dextrin from a supplier who buys it from a supplier who gets it from Asia to save a penny, the dextrin may not always be corn-based and gluten-free. My body does not lie. The M&M's I ate had gluten, causing the IgA antibodies to rush to the spots under my skin to fight the "invader", which caused the horrible itching. Buyer beware!

      It seems crazy to me that even when you call a manufacturer they can't, in this day and age, answer the simple question about what exactly is in their product!!

      Thank you so much for your response! It's been a challenging journey with this condition!

      Thank you very much for your response. Since I got this advice I called Pepsid manufacturer and they could not give a definite answer. Basically,  there is no final testing and they do not guarantee anything. So I went and got farmotidine from Wagmans that was marked gluten-free and also our pediatrician gave us a prescription for farmotidine that was also gluten-free. So there are other options there thankfully. In case someone will come across of this dilemma.

      A nutritionist typically focuses on general wellness, lifestyle guidance, and preventative health. A dietician allowed to provide medical nutrition therapy. When i was diagnosed there was zero support and few dieticians and Dr understood celiac disease.  I typically guide a newly diagnosed celiac to a whole food diet to easily transition to the gluten free lifestyle

      Your gluten-free journey sounds like a lot of trial and error—especially working in a deli where gluten exposure is constant! The eye-watering issue could be an airborne gluten sensitivity (like flour dust irritating your eyes) or even a mild wheat allergy, since you’re around it daily. A daily antihistamine (like Claritin or Zyrtec) might help if it’s allergy-related, but avoiding airborne gluten as much as possible (masking, washing hands/face often) is key. It’s great you’re tracking triggers—high-fiber foods and certain gluten-free substitutes (like those tortillas or PB pretzels) can sometimes cause similar symptoms due to additives or digestive adjustments. For travel, pack safe snacks (protein bars, nuts) and research gluten-free translation cards for Aruba. On flights, opt for packaged gluten-free meals or eat beforehand. Many gluten-free foods and baking mixes contain xanthan gum or other gums like guar gum. Although they are both gluten-free, they may cause IBS-type issues in some people with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity:   You’re doing all the right prep—trust your research and enjoy your trips!
