Is there a new ROCK candy list for 2007? I can only find a 2006 list.

I couldn't find it either. I was just thinking about this today. We were talking about Candy Corns and Peanut Butter Kisses (although those are both Brachs I think which is a not-gluten-free-friendly company).

I hope it's out soon--I'm going to encourage the members of another board I'm on (it's a Parrothead thing) to hand out gluten-free candy this year for Halloween.

That's what I plan on doing - only gluten free candy this year. :D

It's not out yet. It usually comes out the first part of October. Which is right around the corner! <_<

Thanks Colleen! I'll be on the lookout for it.

does anyone know if the new Hershey's Kisses "candy corn" is gluten free? I would assume so since all the other Kisses are, but wasn't sure. I miss candy corn (can't find Farleys brand anywhere here - all they carry is that bad Brachs!).

buffettbride . . . kind of gives a little insight to the screen name, huh? :lol:

FYI, the Great Value brand of candy corn is gluten free (says so on the package). I haven't had it yet so I don't know how it compares (taste-wise) to the other brands.

My husband and I were married at a Jimmy Buffett concert (he also proposed at one and we went to one on our honeymoon.

Does anyone know if they are casein free as well? I know my husband will insist on handing out chocolate, but I want to provide an "allergic-kid friendly" selection as well. The allergens I want to avoid are: dairy, gluten, peanuts, and tree nuts. Are there any other common kid allergens that I should add to my list?

I'm thinking the selection will include individual-size plain microwave popcorn (for the kids who can't have much sugar), Starburst, and Skittles. Any other suggestions?

I'm going with Willy Wonka candy since everything but the Wonka bar is gluten free. (Ok - I happen to really like Wonka candy too. I'm hoping for leftovers.)

Where can I find the ROCK halloween candy list, that would be amazing. I guess this post also answered my other question. My daughter is absolutely PINING for candy corn. I love it too, but I won't get it if she can't have it. Farley's is gluten free?

There is a great casein and gluten free candy list on www.gfcfdiet.com. or google gluten casein free and autism and it'll come up. Some that are also soy free are hot tamales, mike n ikes, sweettarts (original only), smarties, candy stix. Peanut butter kisses are great. Skittles depends on the flavor, and has mixed information.

I just spent over 10 minutes there and couldn't find any list. Could you give me a hint where it is on the site?

They are dairy free and also now free of soybean oil. You might reconsider the popcorn since it is probably loaded with transfats. I like to give out little toys. The kids love them.

Pencils and stickers are a good idea, too.

I spent 15 minutes on the the phone in Target today with a wonderful woman who searched their ENTIRE gluten free list for the candy corns...

Target brand candy corn, indian corn, autumn mix, and candy pumpkins are all gluten free made in a separate factory with no chance of CC.

Hooray! I told my daughter to close her eyes and open her hand after school today. When she opened her eyes she was so excited she almost knocked me over with her hug... she rrrreeeeaaaallllyyyy likes candy corns! :lol:

Wow. Thanks for doing that research! We live just a stone's throw from Target so I think I know what I'll be doing tonight! Normally we haven't had any luck with food purchases from Target re: gluten-free so this is awesome news!

This was posted over on Delphi yesterday:

Open Original Shared Link

Hello All,

Yes, I will begin working on the 2007 Candy list soon. :) And, of course, I will share with everyone. If you google gluten free candy list, my list from 2006 appears all over the internet, which is great. :P)

I generally work on the list for the first few weeks of October and then share it by the third week of October.

If anyone has any updated lists (within the past month or so) directly from any candy manufacturers, please send them to me at OneSillyYak@yahoo.com and it will save me some time.

I'll make a post here and on SillyYaks once the updated list is ready.

      Nausea

      I have trouble with nausea. It often starts when I’m anxious about something (home repairs, sick dog) but continues long after the home is repaired or the dog is healthy again. When it happens I eat less and lose weight. My gastroenterologist suggested ginger or peppermint tea. I don’t know if that will work or not because I haven't had the problem since she...

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      Of course my son is on a 100% gluten free diet. I wish his symptoms were not debilitating as there are right now. He cannot work, even when a miniscule of cross contamination occurs. It's not just GI distress, but intense fatigue, brain fog, depression, anxiety, insomnia, etc. It's literally neurological inflammation. Not to be taken lightly here. We...

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      Have you tried AN-PEP enzymes, for example, GlutenX (who is a sponsor here)? A lot of research has shown that it can break down small amounts of gluten in the stomach, before it reaches the intestines. It might be a better approach than risking nicotine addiction, and the questionable research around this. I also hope that he’s trying to be 100% Gluten-F...

      Nausea

      Hi all I was diagnosed Coeliac a few years ago and follow a gluten free diet. The list of foods that I can eat without a problem grows shorter on a weekly basis. [I also have diabetes and asthma also]. BUT the reason I am posting this is because I seem to struggle with nausea quite a lot, which is really quite debilitating, and I was wondering...

      Hello  I'm not sure what to think . Seems no matter what I do I get sick. I had some yogurt with only 2 grams of sugar and is labeled gluten free ...the strawberry version seemed to really set me off My jaw is burning as well as my stomach and my feet.  Horrible pain..plus acid reflux and nausea... sensitivity to touch pain. ..yikes !! I don't know if it's from the lactose in the yogurt or if I'm getting an ulcer  This condition can make you question yourself quite a bit.  Then if you are not sure the anxiety comes 😞 Does any of these symptoms sound familiar to anyone? The neuropathy is quite intense.  What do you eat or drink after this happens  Open to suggestions  Thank you
