Snickers are safe (personal favourite) and a ton others! M&M's (not the pretzel ones), Caramilk..there are too many to name. Read the ingredients and watch out for malt (in Mars bars) or the obvious wheat flour, etc. You could also try doing a search on here, there are lists of safe candy bars and halloween candy. Reeses' PB cups are gluten-free.

My God Man!!!

How did you live without Chocolate for that long?

The first thing I did is go to the candy aisle and scope out the chocolate!

But Nestels chocolate chips do in a pinch...so you are alright.

Reeses Peanut Butter cups are supposed to be safe.

BUT I have read that some packages contain wheat ingredients, especially the Holiday versions of candies.

From what I have read you are safer to go with regular size not mini bites in all candies.

The reason for that is that they use run off chocolate and some have had reactions to the little pieces

when in fact it is a candy that is normally gluten free. Stick with regular or King size and you will be OK.

Snickers are on my regular grocery list as one of the perks of having to be gluten free.

You can also google gluten free candy and get a very comprehensive list.

But do always read the label, you never know

Three Musketeers are safe if you can handle dairy and soy.

      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.
