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.

      Curious question

      By Jmartes71 · Posted

      So I've been dealing with chasing the name celiac because of my body actively dealing with health issues related to celiac though not eating. Diagnosed in 1994 before foods eliminated from diet. After 25 years with former pcp I googled celiac specialist and she wasn't because of what ive been through. I wanted my results to be sent to my pcp but nothing was sent.I have email copies.I did one zoom call with np with team member from celiac specialist in Nov 2025 and she asked me why I wanted to know why I wanted the celiac diagnosis so bad, I sad I don't, its my life and I need revalidaion because its affecting me.KB stated well it shows you are.I asked then why am I going through all this.I was labeled unruly. Its been a celiac circus and medical has caused anxiety and depression no fault to my own other than being born with bad genetics. How is it legal for medical professionals to gaslight patients that are with an ailment coming for help to be downplayed? KB put in my records that she personally spent 120min with me and I think the zoom call was discussing celiac 80 min ONE ZOOM call.SHE is responsible for not explaining to my pcp about celiac disease am I right?

      Alarming

      By Jmartes71 · Posted

      I've noticed with my age and menopause my smell for bread gives me severe migraines and I know this.Its alarming that there are all these fabulous bakeries, sandwich places pizza places popping up in confined areas.Just the other day I suffered a migraine after I got done with my mri when a guy with a brown paper bag walk in front of me and I smelled that fresh dough bread with tuna, I got a migraine when we got home.I hate im that sensitive. Its alarming these places are popping up in airports as well.I just saw on the news that the airport ( can't remember which  one)was going to have a fabulous smelling bakery. Not for sensitive celiacs, this can alter their health during their travel which isn't safe. More awareness really NEEDS to be promoted, so much more than just a food consumption!FYI I did write to Stanislaus to let them know my thoughts on the medical field not knowing much about celiac and how it affects one.I also did message my gi the 3 specialist names that was given on previous post on questions on celiac. I pray its not on deaf door.
