List Of Gluten Free Foods Like Chocolate?

Where is there a list of gluten free foods like gluten free chocolate, ketchup, tomato juice, spices? Not looking for mixes and already prepared foods. I do call the companies but I thought maybe there might be a website that has this info too.

Thanks,

Del

Hershey's will list all gluten on the label and the following I know are gluten-free: Butterfinger, Snickers, Milky Way Midnight (NOT regular), Reese's PB Cups, Tootsie Rolls, Tootsie Pops, Charm Blow Pops, M&Ms, Skittles, Starburst, Jolly Ranchers.........

Heinz Ketchup is gluten-free.

There are extensive product lists at Delphi Forums and there's a Mac Sholland list...don't have the link from where I'm posting.

I find Delphi's list the most extensive.....

Go to www.delphiforums.com

click on the left hand side the category "Health & Wellness"

the very first forum to come up is the celiac forum.

Their lists are broken down into categories which makes it much simpler to look up a particular item.

Are you looking for a product listing book? I bought one from the website below. It's been very helpful. They put out a new one every year. It's worth the money. It has saved me a lot of phone calls.

Clan Thompson also makes product booklets -- for foods, prescription drugs, over-the-counter medications, etc. There are confirmation dates, whether the product is gluten-free or not, vegetarian or not, etc. and also the company's phone number, so you can call them to make sure it's still gluten-free. They're small enough to fit in a pocket, paperback, light-weight....

Just a note to be very careful with Reeses PB cups. I have noticed wheat flour in the ingredients in the mini ones, and holiday varieties (like the Easter egg reeses).

Of course--the positive is that as a division of Hershey's, Reese's won't hide gluten...

I have the reese easter eggs (chocolate coated) in front of me and they do not list wheat or any other gluten on the label.

Then they're gluten-free. Hersheys (a company, which Reese's is a part of) has a policy like Kraft's --if there's any gluten in the product, it will show up on the label. This means that if there were wheat, barley, etc. in modified food starch or flavorings, it would be listed like this: modified food starch (wheat).

Dear Del,

the word, chocolate, in your post caught my eye. I know that you are looking for lists, and the others have been very helpful, yes. But if casein free is also a concern for you as it is for me, I've got chocolate for you. Tropical Source makes gluten free/casein free chocolate bars and baking chips. You can't tell the difference in either taste or texture. The only thing about the chips is that once you have baked them into, say, chocolate chip cookies, they get soft and gooey, and don't harden up again like regular chocolate chips would. A bit more messy, but who cares when you can satisfy that craving!

      Hey there, have you been tested for allergies? You may not only have celiac disease but be allergic. I have celiac disease and am allergic to Barley, wheat and rye.

      I have osteopenia and have cracked three vertebrae.  Niacin is connected to osteoporosis! Do talk to your nutritionist and doctor about supplementing with B vitamins.  Blood tests don't reveal the amount of vitamins stored inside cells.  The blood is a transportation system and can reflect vitamins absorbed from food eaten in the previous twenty-four to forty-eight hours.  Those "normal limits" are based on minimum amounts required to prevent disease, not levels for optimal health.   Keep us posted on your progress.   B Vitamins: Functions and Uses in Medicine https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9662251/ Association of dietary niacin intake with osteoporosis in the postmenopausal women in the US: NHANES 2007–2018 https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11835798/ Clinical trial: B vitamins improve health in patients with coeliac disease living on a gluten-free diet https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19154566/   Nutritional Imbalances in Adult Celiac Patients Following a Gluten-Free Diet https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8398893/ Nutritional Consequences of Celiac Disease and Gluten-Free Diet https://www.mdpi.com/2036-7422/15/4/61 Simplifying the B Complex: How Vitamins B6 and B9 Modulate One Carbon Metabolism in Cancer and Beyond https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9609401/

      Thank you so much for the clarification! Yes to these questions: Have you consulted dietician?  Have you been checked for nutritional deficiencies?  Osteoporosis? Thyroid? Anemia?  Do you take any supplements, or vitamins? I’m within healthy range for nutritional tests, thyroid and am not anemic. I do have osteopenia. I don’t take any medications, and the dietician was actually a nutritionist (not sure if that is the same thing) recommended by my physician at the time to better understand gluten free eating.    I almost wish the gluten exposure had triggered something, so at least I’d know what’s going on. So confusing!    Many thanks!

      @JudyLou,  I have dermatitis herpetiformis, too!  And...big drum roll... Niacin improves dermatitis herpetiformis!   Niacin is very important to skin health and intestinal health.   You're correct.  dermatitis herpetiformis usually occurs on extensor muscles, but dermatitis herpetiformis is also pressure sensitive, so blisters can form where clothing puts pressure on the skin. Elastic waist bands, bulky seams on clothing, watch bands, hats.  Rolled up sleeves or my purse hanging on my arm would make me break out on the insides of my elbows.  I have had a blister on my finger where my pen rested as I write.  Foods high in Iodine can cause an outbreak and exacerbate dermatitis herpetiformis. You've been on the gluten free diet for a long time.  Our gluten free diet can be low in vitamins and minerals, especially if processed gluten free foods are consumed.  Those aren't fortified with vitamins like gluten containing products are.  Have you consulted dietician?  Have you been checked for nutritional deficiencies?  Osteoporosis? Thyroid? Anemia?  Do you take any supplements, medicine, or vitamins? Niacin deficiency is connected to anemia.  Anemia can cause false negatives on tTg IgA tests.  A person can be on that borderline where symptoms wax and wane for years, surviving, but not thriving.  We have a higher metabolic need for more nutrients when we're sick or emotionally stressed which can deplete the small amount of vitamins we can store in our bodies and symptoms reappear.   Exposure to gluten (and casein in those sensitive to it) can cause an increased immune response and inflammation for months afterwards. The immune cells that make tTg IgA antibodies which are triggered today are going to live for about two years. During that time, inflammation is heightened.  Those immune cells only replicate when triggered.  If those immune cells don't get triggered again for about two years, they die without leaving any descendents programmed to trigger on gluten and casein.  The immune system forgets gluten and casein need to be attacked.  The Celiac genes turn off.  This is remission.    Some people in remission report being able to consume gluten again without consequence.   However, another triggering event can turn the Celiac genes on again.   Celiac genes are turned on by a triggering event (physical or emotional stress).  There's some evidence that thiamine insufficiency contributes to the turning on of autoimmune genes.  There is an increased biological need for thiamine when we are physically or emotionally stressed.  Thiamine cannot be stored for more than twenty-one days and may be depleted in as little as three during physical and emotional stresses. Mitochondria without sufficient thiamine become damaged and don't function properly.  This gets relayed to the genes and autoimmune disease genes turn on.  Thiamine and other B vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients are needed to replace the dysfunctional mitochondria and repair the damage to the body.   I recommend getting checked for vitamin and mineral deficiencies.  More than just Vitamin D and B12.  A gluten challenge would definitely be a stressor capable of precipitating further vitamin deficiencies and health consequences.   Best wishes!
