Ok, someplace I read M&M's were ok........ and to treat myself I bought me a bag, yeah I read the ingredients and have since re-read it as well and see nothing to get nervous about...

yesterday I had maybe 1/4 cup and last night had major upset tummy which I figured was from CC when cleaning out the hubby's gluten items in the freezer...

today I again grabbed about another 1/4 cup full for breakfast...... and it happened again... I hadn't eaten anything else so it HAS to be them am I missing something?

p.s. they were the regular old m&m's no nuts or nuffin just chocolate and colored candy shell

In the US M&M's are gluten free except the crunchy ones. I seem to recall that in Australia they are not.

Have no idea why they bothered me 2 days in a row.... they were the regular old plain kind.... and I opened the fresh bag on day 1 and was the first to grab a handful so I cant blame this one on my hubby sticking his contaminated hands into my treat....

but regardless he inherited the remaining of the bag :(

I live in the Chicago suburbs, and last year I bought a bag of the Christmas M&Ms and wheat was listed on the ingrediants. I was totally shocked bc I had never seen that before. Maybe the holiday ones are made different? :huh: Im confused.

Here is Hershey's allergen statement.

OKAY....duh, M&M's are made by Mars - I'll check that.

I had the same thing until I discovered that it was the soy in the candy that was making me feel sick. Maybe you're sensitive to soy?

Happy Holidays!

Hold up a sec - I just read the package of Xmas M&Ms that I have - I don't seen wheat on the label anywhere. There is corn maltodextrin, soy, but no wheat. It also only mentions possible peanut contamination as far as allergen info goes. ??????

Sorry, maybe I wasnt being clear in my other post. LAST YEAR I got a bag of Christmas m&m's that said may contain wheat on them. That is the ONLY time I have ever seen them say that, and the bag came inside of a novelty item, so it may have been made in another country or a different factory than normally used. Other than that ONE time, I have NEVER seen m&m's say that. Sorry if I freaked anyone out.

I bet that wheat statement was on the bag due to the manufactoring process. Things may have changed since then.

I recently had some M&Ms and got sick from them too. I tried them a couple of times...and had a bad reaction each time. I was thinking it was the milk -- Could it be the dairy for you?

....some commercial chocolate have Lactose in them (specifically Nestle's) and if you are lactose intolerant you can get gastro symptoms......

I haven't read an M&M bag ingredients in a while - so not sure if they have lactose or not....

The bag of Dark Chocolate M&M Peanuts in my fridge lists dextrin as an ingredient.

:o

I am not amused. :angry:

Dextrin is potato/corn based and not gluten related. Maltodextrin is corn based in the US.

:( Something in them isn't working for me. I am totally OK with chocolate (Thank God! :rolleyes: ) dairy and peanuts, so now I don't know what is causing the problem.

Too bad, because they were a good snack. :(

I have not eaten any "soy" that I know of for just over a week, today is the day to try that and see if I have any reaction.

      Waiting Gastroenterology review

      Thank you that’s really helpful, hopeful won’t have to have a biopsy.

      Waiting Gastroenterology review

      By RMJ · Posted

      That means the normal range (i.e. not celiac disease) would be a result less than 14.99.  Your result is WAY above that. Some gastroenterologists would diagnose that as celiac disease even without a confirming biopsy because it is more than ten times the top of the normal range.

      Diagnosis and further testing Celiac

      By Redanafs · Posted

      Hi everyone. Back in 2022 I had blood work drawn for iga ext gliadin. Since then I’ve developed worse stomach issues and all other health issues. My doctor just said cut out gluten. He did no further testing. Please see my test results attached. I just need some direction cause I feel so ill and the stomach pain is becoming worse. Can this test show indications for other gastrointestinal diseases?

      Does Dailymed.nlm.nih.gov site have filters for gluten?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Clearly from what you've said the info on Dailymed is much more up to date than the other site, which hasn't been updated since 2017. The fact that some companies might be repackaging drugs does not mean the info on the ingredients is not correct.
