I'm sure some of you old pros already know this, but I have been deprived for 5 1/2 yrs. now of most junk food (probably a good thing!) but, I just called Mars (who makes M&M's-- they are safe and they have a recording of all their gluten-free candy! Yes! I know it's not healthy, but it's good to know I can have them! :) :)

Patti, do you remember that we had a member from New Zealand who said that M&M's are not gluten free there? Or am I dreaming again. :ph34r:

I don't remember, Lisa...you're probably right, though--why else would you have remembered it :D

Lisa was correct (as usual)....as of this thread below, (2006), M&M's contain wheat glucose in New Zealand.

Yeah, an obscure memory about M&M's in New Zealand. Odd :blink:;)

OK....recently it was posted that "wheat glucose" is considered gluten free because of it's refinement. Maybe Kaycee CAN eat those M&M's???? ramble, ramble, ramble....

Oh, yeah....no crunchy M&M's.

Can someone tell me which candies are gluten-free? I thought Hershey's Kisses were, and then I read somewhere that they're not...confused-- I try to stick to Organic Chocolate or Trader Joe's stuff...but, it would be so handy if I could have the stuff that they sell at the grocery store!

      Fresh Additions Fully Cooked Chicken Breast Bites

      By Nikki2777 · Posted

      Hi  - Anyone have any experience with these? I bought them at Costco thinking they must be gluten-free, but now I see Natural Flavors and Spice in the ingredients. There's no Gluten Free labeling. However the Costco site and two other sites say it's gluten free. Anyone know?

      Restaurants that offer gluten free no cross contamination

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Yes, I doubt you can find a perfectly safe restaurant--perhaps a dedicated gluten-free restaurant, but in general, very few of them exist, and they tend to be in larger cities. Super sensitive celiacs should probably just avoid eating out.

      Newly diagnosed and maybe some type of protein intolerance.

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The good news is that after your gut heals (for most people who are 100% gluten-free this will take several months to two years) you may be able to slowly add some these items back into your diet after the damaged villi heal.

      Restaurants that offer gluten free no cross contamination

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Kenz! Eating out is the number one threat to anyone with celiac disease. The best advice I can give is "don't"! Especially if you are supersensitive. The biggest problem isn't avoiding gluten in what you order but in how it is prepared and handled back in the kitchen where cross contamination can and does happen at multiple stages before it gets to you. You would need to have conversations with the cooks and receive assurance that your food is cooked on clean surfaces and in clean pans and handled with clean utensils, separate from anything that contains gluten.

      Restaurants that offer gluten free no cross contamination

      By Kenz · Posted

      I am new to this and have severely struggled to find places I can eat where I will not get sick. I am super sensitive to any cross contamination and gluten. I throw up, use the bathroom, get disoriented, can’t walk, can’t even lift my arms, legs, or head. It’s honestly so scary when I come in contact with gluten. I do live in a town where there aren’t many options. I live in Gadsden al. So if anyone has any recommendations of places to eat that would be so helpful .
