Fun Size Snickers


StacyA

Recommended Posts

I bought a bunch of Mars candy bars on sale right after Halloween because I remember reading multiple old threads that mini and fun size Mars candy bars, such as snickers, are justs as gluten-free in mini size as they are in larger size. (I think I had gotten glutened by mini almond joys in the past.) Even Richard had contributed to one of the threads and said mini snickers are gluten-free, so I thought I was super safe.

So I put the bags in my freezer. I opened a new bag of 'fun size' snickers yesterday evening, and I am definately feeling symptoms today. I started a food journal last month and nothing else looks suspicious. (I primarily have been eating things I'm cooking with safe whole foods.) The label on the bag of snickers doesn't list any wheat or barely, and supposedly Mars is clear in labeling.

Has anyone else reacted to 'fun size' snickers, or should I look elsewhere for what feels like a glutening?

Somethings things are just a mystery.

      Your genetic test results confirm that you carry the highest-risk markers for celiac disease, specifically the HLA-DQ2 haplotype (while being negative for HLA-DQ8). The fact that both HLA-DQA1*05 and HLA-DQB1*0201 appear twice means you inherited identical copies from each parent, making you homozygous for these genes. This double dose of the DQ2.5 haplotype is significant because it indicates an even stronger genetic predisposition to celiac disease compared to those who only inherit one copy. Research suggests that people with this homozygous pattern may have a higher likelihood of developing the disease, potentially more severe immune responses to gluten, and a stronger...

      It sounds like you and your daughter are navigating celiac disease with a lot of care and dedication, and it’s wonderful that you’re prioritizing her health and growth during this critical time. Since her antibody levels and growth have plateaued, tightening up her diet by avoiding eating out (except at dedicated gluten-free places) is a smart move—even if it’s challenging socially. Many parents of celiac kids report significant growth spurts once gluten exposure is minimized, so there’s hope she’ll catch up if her levels improve. As for the future, while her growth window closing may reduce some risks, celiac is lifelong, and staying as strict as possible will likely always be best...

      This is good news--I hope we can get this done on a national level!
