Does anybody know if hershey's chocolate kisses have gluten in them? I know the plain milk chocolate kisses are gluten free, but what about the others? Especially the white and milk chocolate HUGS (Those are my favorites :P ). Can't wait for your replies so I can start eating chocolate! :D

You will have to read the label. But you should know that any Hershey products that list "natural flavor", the company will not disclose the source. So there is no way to determine whether products that list "natural flavors" are gluten free or not.

I personally don't support companies who support their suppliers, rather than the people who buy their products.

Dove doesn't make "hugs" but you can get small bags of several varieties at WalMart for $2-3. My personal preference is the dark chocolates. :P

Ditto. I read about a test "they" did to see which chocolate was the one better for you and dove dark was high on the list, even higher than some of the bars at the health food store. But who knows how accurate it was. :huh:

"They" only tested like 10 kinds.

Don't eat the Hershey little bar assortments. They will not guarantee that they are gluten free. Regular size Hershey bars are fine. All this is assuming you can have dairy? If you are newly diagnosed sometimes you find that dairy is a problem as well for a while. If that should happen don't despair--there are great dairy-free dark chocolates you could have too.

      Celiac disease is the most likely cause, but here are articles about the other possible causes:

      Increased intraepithelial lymphocytes after 10 yrs gluten-free

      By cristiana · Posted

      Hi @Atl222 As @trents points out, there could be many reasons for this biopsy result.  I am interested to know, is your gastroenterologist concerned?  Also, are your blood tests showing steady improvement over the years? I remember when I had my last biopsy, several years after diagnosis, mine came back with with raised lymphocytes but no villous damage, too! In my own case, my consultant wasn't remotely concerned - in fact, he said I might still get this result even if all I ever did was eat nothing but rice and water.   My coeliac blood tests were still steadily improving, albeit slowly, which was reassuring.

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @Atl222! Yes, your increased lymphocytes could be in response to oats or it could possibly be cross contamination from gluten that is getting into your diet from some unexpected source but not enough to damage the villi. And I'm certain that increased lymphocytes can be caused by other things besides celiac disease or gluten/oats exposure. See attachment. But you might try eliminating oats to start with and possibly dairy for a few months and then seek another endoscopy/biopsy to see if there was a reduction in lymphocyte counts.

      Brown Rice Vinegar (organic) from Eden Foods is likely gluten free

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      This is a solid, well-reasoned approach. You’re right that “koji” by itself doesn’t indicate gluten status, and the risk really does come down to which grain is used to culture it. The fact that you directly contacted Eden Foods and received a clear statement that their koji is made from rice only, with no wheat or barley, is meaningful due diligence—especially since Eden has a long-standing reputation for transparency. While the lack of gluten labeling can understandably give pause, manufacturer confirmation like this is often what people rely on for traditionally fermented products. As always, trusting your body after trying it is reasonable, but based on the information you gathered, your conclusion makes sense.
