Marshmellows And Chocolate

Hi all,

With all the reading I have done and all the products that I have managed to find I still don't know if Marshmellows are gluten free or chocolate. I managed to find a bag of chocolate chips that said may contain traces of nuts, milk or soy so I imagine that if they listed those ingredients as a "MAY CONTAIN" then they would have listed wheat as well - to cross check this I just looked for something else the company made that would have wheat in it and it had wheat listed as a "May Contain" item. So I am pretty certain that the chocolate chips are all right but what should I be looking for on Marshmellows and just regular chocolate bars. You need to understand that when I have a hard core sugar craving I like to split a marshmellow in half and put peanut butter and chocolate on it.

If anyone knows about marshmellows please let me know. The bag doesn't say, but what makes them not stick together? If nobody knows maybe I will write to the companies and ask.

Thanks all,

Kelly

:D Yes, marshmellows generally are gluten free. But never put anything in your mouth without reading the labels. Enjoy!

You just made my day I have a camping size bag out in the kitchen but didn't want to open them until I was absolutely sure. Have been gluten free for 2 weeks now and the only symptoms I still have are the headaches - allergy related and the bloated belly.

Not really caring about the bloated belly right now. WANT MARSHMELLOWS and peanut butter. Does anyone else really CRAVE food? I always do. Usually it's veggies but the last 2 weeks it's peanut butter and marshmellows.

The only one I've bought since going gluten free is Kraft since they are meticulous about labelling. I have not had issues with them.

:) I'm psyched too - I just found a puffed rice cereal that is CHEAP and says glutenfree right on it! Hoping to try making rice crispy treats from it. i know it'll be a little different...but close is better than not at all! (and I don't want to pay $4 for a box of cereal just for marshmallow treats!).

Hi there,

I have the easiest and YUMMIEST recipe for homemade, fluffy marshmallows (and if *I* say they're easy, believe me, they are, as I HATE to cook!), pm me if you would like the recipe! :)

Hi there,

I am going to make Trix cereal bars with gobs of marshmellow. If they don't work then the Dora the explorer cereal will do and I will add one cup of peanut butter, a wack load of marshmellows and chocolate drizzle after they are done.

Who said this disease sucks, I am having a blast making treats and for once in my life I don't feel guilty making them because I am doing it to save my health. Isn't that irony, I spent my whole teen years watching all the fats, calories, sugars, starches. Now in my 30's I am eating all the stuff I avoided just to stay sain and feel like a normal person.

OH and just so everyone knows the recipe for peanut butter brownies is the BEST. CAUTION: Eat on an empty stomach with several napkins at hand. I am ashamed to admit I ate have of a batch for breakfast with a pot of coffee one morning. Gave me a whole new look at my workout routine. How do you burn off about 3000 in an hour???

Oh well you only live once, might as well enjoy the small pleasure, next time however it will be in a smaller dose.

Have a good weekend everyone and happy mother's day to all the Mom's out there.

      Terrible Neurological Symptoms

      My dad had an Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm. Fortunately, it was discovered during an exam. The doctor could feel my dad's heart beating in his stomach. The aneurysm burst when the doctor first touched it in surgery. Since he was already hooked up to the bypass machine, my dad survived ten more years. Close call!

      Terrible Neurological Symptoms

      You have an odd story there. To me, the mechanical trigger suggests a mechanical problem and lower leg pain is a classic sciatica symptom. The fact that the clear mechanical linkage is no longer there does not take away from the fact that it was - maybe something shifted and the simple alignment is no longer there. There's also a good chance I am wrong and...

      Terrible Neurological Symptoms

      Oddly this effect has gone now, just happened yesterday evening, the nerve pain is now back to its usual "unpredictable" random self again - but that was the only time I ever had some mechanical trigger for it, don't know why! There's no (or wasn't) actual pain in my neck - it was inside the leg, but when I looked down, now though, the leg pain just comes...

      Terrible Neurological Symptoms

      I had MRI scan a few years ago showing everything normal, and now it's no longer triggering the nerve pain when I bow my head today - it only seemed to happen yesterday, and that was the only time it happened! Just seemed weird as no movement has caused my usual nerve pain before. It's normally just random.

      My dad had an Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm.  Fortunately, it was discovered during an exam.  The doctor could feel my dad's heart beating in his stomach.  The aneurysm burst when the doctor first touched it in surgery.  Since he was already hooked up to the bypass machine, my dad survived ten more years.  Close call! Triple A's can press on the nerves in the spinal cord causing leg pain.  I'm wondering if bowing the head might have increased the pressure on an aneurysm and then the nerves.   https://gulfcoastsurgeons.com/understanding-abdominal-aortic-aneurysm-symptoms-and-causes/ Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Presenting as a Claudication https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4040638/

The fact that the clear mechanical linkage is no longer there does not take away from the fact that it was - maybe something shifted and the simple alignment is no longer there. There's also a good chance I am wrong and it's something else entirely. @Scott Adams's mention of shingles is interesting. It seems possible but unlikely to me, but who knows. However, I am writing here to reinforce the idea of getting the shingles vaccine. Ask anyone who has ever had shingles and they will bend your ear telling you how bad it is. I watched my wife go through it and it scared the bejeebers out of me. Even if you had the chicken pox vaccine, you really want to get the shingles vaccine.

      Very good pizzeria with small dining room in back of the restaurant. The owner's daughter has celiac & they have gluten free pizza & a gluten free menu. Some items from the regular menu can be made gluten free also. They have a lunch menu which we ordered from & my chicken with spinach & mozzarella over gluten-free penne was delicious. They also have Tuesday night pasta specials & Thursday night chicken pasta specials. We plan on going back for dinner soon.
