Great list and thanks for posting.

I do want to mention that I picked up a package of Reese's pnut butter chocolate eggs yesterday and they do contain wheat flour. It was listed in the ingredients so make sure you double check since they did have one kind listed as gluten-free make sure you are getting the variety that is.

Soooooo..... Do you all eat things that are made on shared lines? Looks to me like there's little to be had in the Easter Basket.

Soooooo.....if you are a super sensitive, contact with the companies is easily available. I have found most to be a CYA statement*. But, you will have to make that judgment for yourself.

I plan on presenting a full basket. B)

I eat things made on shared lines because I've found when talking to companies (it helps knowing people in the business too) that they do clean and sanitize their lines after they change product. Most companies don't produce pretzels and then turn around and produce gluten free chips without cleaning the line. Occasionally something might get missed but there are standard rules of cleanliness that companies follow...mind you, some more than others. I'm fairly sensitive to cross contamination when I'm eating out and if my plain chicken was cooked on a shared surface without being cleaned but I've NEVER in 7 years been glutened by a shelf product that said "made in a shared facility".

Just my two cents! It's a personal choice.

Does anybody know if Tootsie Rolls/ Fruit Tootsie rolls are okay to eat? I don't see them on this Easter list but I've seen them on past lists and in 2 books I have. I saw some Tootsie Fruit Rolls --which you never see anywhere!- and would love to eat them. I don't see anything bad on the package, nor contamination warnings. THis packaging does say Happy Easter on it. Is there a reason these aren't okay? Do any of you eat Tootsie Rolls?

Google "Tootsie Rolls - Gluten Free", and see what you come up with. The internet is wonderful ;)

If the ingredients appear ok, you could call the company or trust the labels. I tend to trust the labels .

      Definitely worth speaking to your gastroenterologist about this.

      Anyone else get a lot of upper respiratory infections?

      I did get the pneumonia vaccine about 4 years ago. I had this amazing allergist who did all those vitamin deficiencies test and told to get that vaccine. Unfortunately she retired. I haven’t been to an allergist in a few years, I’m not sure what my levels are now. I did have a pulmonologist who wasn’t concern and said I seemed fine to him that I was young...

      Anyone else get a lot of upper respiratory infections?

      Yes I do have acid reflux. I’m not on anything for it at the moment. I sometimes wonder if that’s what it could be because I get heart burn every night. I may revisit my gastrointestinal doctor again. Thanks for the reply

      Anyone else get a lot of upper respiratory infections?

      Hi @HelloFlowersGoodbyeFlour I wonder if you suffer from reflux, as if you do, you may find it could also be irritating your airways. I shall explain: I have to use a blue inhaler from time to time, and it seems to be related to reflux. Never had any trouble before my coeliac diagnosis, the reflux seemed to be something that developed following...

      Anyone else get a lot of upper respiratory infections?

      Since initially getting your D checked a few years ago, has it since rebounded to normal levels? Sounds like at some point you got it checked again.

I did have a pulmonologist who wasn’t concern and said I seemed fine to him that I was young etc. But yes I think I should at the very least get a different opinion. Thank you for your reply

      Hi @HelloFlowersGoodbyeFlour I wonder if you suffer from reflux, as if you do, you may find it could also be irritating your airways.  I shall explain: I have to use a blue inhaler from time to time, and it seems to be related to reflux.  Never had any trouble before my coeliac diagnosis, the reflux seemed to be something that developed following a holiday to France in 2019, where I had been exposed to gluten.    The reflux continued into the autumn and winter, my throat itched to begin with, particularly after meals, but it then that feeling of irritation seemed to spread to my lungs.  I even found it difficult to breathe on occasion. What stopped it in its tracks was using a wedge pillow at night, following a reflux diet (you can find them online), not eating 2-4 hours before bed and also having a dose of Gaviscon Advanced at night, which forms a barrier so that acid/food can't go back up your esophagus.  The throat irritation faded, and then I found it easier to breathe again. Just mentioning in case it could be a contributing factor.
