Look around on this website as we have had lots of posts about this. You can try putting snacks and lunch in the search box. There are a lot of candy & you can find a list - M&Ms, Dove chocolate are 2,

If she has a lot of trouble, it's best to stick to unprocessed, naturally gluten-free foods. Fresh fruits, fresh vegetables, dried fruits, plain nuts and seeds, and cheese are all naturally gluten-free, healthy snack foods. I love apples and peanut butter. :) For sweets, most good chocolate is naturally gluten-free, or get an ice cream without a lot of ingredients like Breyer's.

The more processing, the more risk of gluten cross-contamination. Larabars, Kind bars, Lay's Stax, and the Nature Valley nut crunch bars (the box is marked gluten-free now) are some processed foods I can tolerate well. Lundburg rice cakes are pretty good and gluten-free, and the Whole Foods brand rice crackers are affordable and haven't give me any problems.

Hi Hollie

A few months after I was diagnosed I discovered these grocery shopping guides. Made my life much easier when shopping.

Gluten-Free Grocery Shopping Guides. Aside from these, our local GIG Celiac Div. has a smaller gluten-free groc. guide that includes a lot of local items, so you may look for a local Celiac Chapter in your area.

There another out that can also be downloaded to your PDA device, etc., by Clan Thompson.

I bought the Cecilas guide, it was about $25 and worth every dollar. Put an end to standing in the aisle and reading packages!

Many grocery stores and food manufacturers (Kraft, Hormel etc) now have their own gluten free product lists as well, some online and some will mail you list.

Here is a link to Gluten Intolerance Group NA's page where you can search for certified gluten free items:

What about things that are naturally gluten free? Like fresh vegetables and fruit, nuts and seeds.

      Celiac attack confusion and anxiety

      By Colleen H · Posted

      Hi all ! Can a celiac attack be so intense that it causes your entire body to work in reverse? Meaning really bad pain,  neuropathy and muscle,  jaw pain,  the stomach issues , Horrible anxiety and confusion??  I had a Tums and you would think I ate poison. My jaw and stomach did not like it . Not the norm for me. Things that are simple are just out of control. Anyone ever have this happen??  I'm trying to figure out what I ate or did to bring on a celiac like attack. I had an idea before but yesterday I didn't have any gluten unless it was in a medication ?! Any positive suggestions ??  Thank you

      Gluten free stuff

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      The following two lists are very helpful for anyone who is gluten sensitive and needs to avoid gluten when shopping. It's very important to learn to read labels and understand sources of hidden gluten, and to know some general information about product labelling--for example in the USA if wheat is a possible allergen it must be declared on a product's ingredient label like this: Allergens: Wheat.

      Gluten free stuff

      By trents · Posted

      Tammy, in the food industry, "gluten free" doesn't mean the same thing as "no gluten". As Scott explained, the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) allows food companies to use the "gluten-free" label as long as the product does not contain more than 20 ppm (parts per million) of gluten. This number is based on studies the FDA did years ago to determine the reaction threshold for those with celiac disease. And the 20 ppm figure works for the majority of celiacs. There are those who are more sensitive, however, who still react to that amount. There is another, stricter standard known as "Certified Gluten Free" which was developed by a third party organization known as GFCO which requires not more than 10 ppm of gluten. So, when you see "GFCO" or "Certified Gluten Free" labels on food items you know they are manufactured with a stricter standard concerning gluten content. Having said all that, even though you may read the disclaimer on a food item that says the spices may contain wheat, barley or rye (the gluten grains), you should be able to trust that the amount of gluten the spices may contain is so small it allows the total product to meet the requirements of gluten free or certified gluten free labeling. I hope this helps.
