Gluten & Soy Free Candy Bars

Anyone know of any mainstream brands? Butterfinger and Snickers and gluten free but not soy. I guess hershey's plain and almond are ok, but am not sure. They contain soy lecithin, which I have heard does not effect people allergic to soy. Don't know how much I agree with this. Haven't checked into resee cups yet, but am afraid of them anyway because of the mixed information I've been reading about gluten. Spoke to a rep from Hershey's recently about resee cups and my favorite candy bar ever: 5th Avenue. She said neither are guaranteed to be gluten free, but she didn't see why it would have any. They couldn't guarantee them because some of the ingredients derive from other manufacturer's or something along those lines.

Hershey has never been Celiac friendly. I do try to avoid buying their products, because they will not disclose the source of Natural Flavors and opt to support their suppliers, rather than deal with the customers who buy their products.

If you're looking for chocolate, Dove make some really good options. Snack bar, try KIND bars.

Enjoy Life makes delicious candy bars that are gluten, dairy, and soy free. They are a specialty item, but I get them at my regular grocery store (Kroger). Whole foods also carries them.

Ooh--looks like there's a coupon, too! :D

That's what we buy. All of the mainstream chocolate candies contain soy. Skittles and Starburst are also safe.

      Is it gluten?

      What you’re describing is actually very common, and unfortunately the timing of the biopsy likely explains the confusion. Yes, it is absolutely possible for the small intestine to heal enough in three months on a strict gluten-free diet to produce a normal or near-normal biopsy, especially when damage was mild to begin with. In contrast, celiac antibodies can stay elevated for many months or even years after gluten removal, so persistently high antibody levels alongside the celiac genes and clear nutrient deficiencies strongly point to celiac disease, even if you don’t feel symptoms. Many people with celiac are asymptomatic but still develop iron and vitamin deficiencies and silent intestinal damage. The lack of immediate symptoms makes it harder emotionally, but it doesn’t mean gluten isn’t harming you. Most specialists would consider this a case of celiac disease with a false-negative biopsy due to early healing rather than “something else,” and staying consistently gluten-free is what protects you long-term—even when your body doesn’t protest right away.

      Yes, I meant if you had celiac disease but went gluten-free before screening, your results would end up false-negative. As @trents mentioned, this can also happen when a total IGA test isn't done.

      I found at Disney springs and Disney they have specialist that when told about dietary restrictions they come and talk to you ,explain cross contamination measures tsken and work with you on choices. Its the one place I dont worry once I've explained I have celiac disease.  Thier gluten free options are awesome.

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      Have you tried Pure Encapsulations supplements? This is a brand my doctor recommends for me. I have no issues with this brand.
