Easter

Does anyone know of a comprehensive list of seasonal candy for celebrating Easter. We are participating in a neighborhood easter egg hunt, and I would love to supply a list of gluten-free candy options so I don't have to sort through the candy and possibly have my daughter eating it before I can check it out. Thanks.

Peeps are always a welcome addition at Easter.

I've been reading labels. I think almost any plain chocolate is okay. I think Reeses are okay too, and jelly beans. I could be wrong though. And if I am wrong, I'm gonna be really sad :(

Mars and Nestle will clearly list any gluten in their ingredients, so all you have to do is read to see if it's gluten free. Russell candy is also gluten free, except for things like cookies, according to their website. Dove will also disclose gluten.

What I really want to know is, are Reeses peanut butter cups okay? I looked at the label and I didn't see anything that had to do with wheat, but I don't want to risk it until I know for sure.

Normal ones are fine,yes :)

But be careful of some of the holiday themed ones- some of the eggs have gluten- Wheat starch I believe

I tried to make this a new topic on the Coping forum in case someone didn't check back, but it automatically got moved. So I hope you all catch this.

The Cadberry Creme Egg label says "Glucose Sugar (Wheat)". I'm a newbie to this, so maybe I'm missing something, like that in the form of glucose sugar the gluten is taken out, but if not, DON'T EAT THE EGGS!! I saw one at least one person was doing the happy dance. Sorry to stop the music, but I'd rather you not get sick!

Think Reese's...mmmmm...better than those darn creme eggs anyway...think Peeps...cuter than the those darn eggs...think...no diarrhea, vomitting or constipation...way better than those stupid eggs!!

Have a happy, healthy gluten-free Easter!

OK, I'm not nuts, just tired. My last post sounds nutty! I was searching for Easter candy ideas and got two threads mixed up. I thought it was this thread that said Cadbury eggs were gluten-free. Obviously it wasn't! It was an old from LAST March (and my post made much more sense with that thread!). Duh!

Well, anyway, the eggs are still not safe to eat!

Oh that note I am going to bed!

I'm pretty sure they are made by Hershey's, and there is no way to tell if a Hershey's product with natural flavors is gluten free. They are one of the most celiac-unfriendly companies. I just found this out today after being told previously that they disclose gluten and feeding their products to my son for months. :angry:

Did I get here in time for the "does glucose syrup derived from wheat contain gluten?" argument. :o That one is nearly as much fun as the vinegar and food starch arguments. I hate those nasty eggs so it does not bother me. Its all going to boil down to who you believe, who you trust and how you react-considering whats gone on lately with stuff like cat food and heperin everything worries me :(

Yes, the plain kisses are. According to my memory of the phone call yesterday only the plain Hershey's kisses, Hershey's chocolate bar (plain and with almonds), chocolate chips, baking chocolate, and cocoa are gluten free. What makes me the most upset is that you cannot even call them with an IPC number to determine if one of their products is gluten free. They have no information about what's in their natural flavors.

I have always loved the Cadbury mini chocolate eggs and the Reese's Peanut Butter cups. I have always had a sweet toothe.

Along with fighting Celiac and having mulitiple allergies..I am trying really hard to cut out all forms of sugar. Hasn't been as horribly hard as I thought..but sometimes around the holidays..as we all know..it can get tough.

But I just had a question in general. Isn't sugar overall bad for our digestion? I mean for anyone?

And most likely especially for those of us here?

Yeah, too bad they changed that :( Opportunity to find new faves though :) And spend extra money on See's Candy!!!

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      Thanks, I’m still dealing with the pain and tingling and itching and feeling like bugs or something crawling around on my face and scalp. It’s been a miserable experience. I saw my eye doc last week, the eye itself was okay, so they didn’t do anything. I did take a 7 day course of an antiviral. I’m hoping for a turnaround soon! My life is full of stress ...

      I don't think any apps are up to date, which is exactly why this happened to you. Most of the data in such apps is years old, and it doesn't get updated in real time. Ultimately there is no substitution for learning to read labels. The following two lists are very helpful for anyone who is gluten sensitive and needs to avoid gluten when shopping. ...

My life is full of stress but I have been on / off the gluten free diet for the last year , after being talked into going back on gluten to have a biopsy, that looked okay. But I do have positive antibody levels that have been responsive  to a gluten free diet. I can’t help but wonder if the last year has caused all this.

Ultimately there is no substitution for learning to read labels. The following two lists are very helpful for anyone who is gluten sensitive and needs to avoid gluten when shopping. It's very important to learn to read labels and understand sources of hidden gluten, and to know some general information about product labelling--for example in the USA if wheat is a possible allergen it must be declared on a product's ingredient label like this: Allergens: Wheat.
