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!!!

      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
