Every size change in a snickers or any other food matters. Check the ingredients for minis, bite sized, regular, jumbo and popables. Each is different. Some contain gluten, some do not. This rule applies for all foods.

I think the smaller sizes, like the bite size snickers have gluten. So don't eat those.

I was told that all Snickers except the poppables are gluten free

ok, I guess it was the popables I meant. I knew it was something different :)

The snickers cruncher and snickers marathons also have gluten in them.

I really thought the minis were gluten full....Must have been a mini milky way?

Regular Milky Ways contain wheat--so, as you suggested, of course, the minis also contain gluten (Milky Way Midnight is gluten-free). The Poppables are a dangerous area, so I just avoid them. You have to be...more careful with the minis. There was a major problem a few months ago with those variety packages of mini candies...malt was used in the glue for the wrappers and nobody knew they weren't gluten-free, because one would assume there was malt in some of the non-gluten-free candies, but that the others didn't contain malt. Big thing...so don't buy those variety packs. Stick with a bag of Snickers or a bag of Butterfingers, etc.

I have never seen any gluten-free popables. :(

Yes, I don't think any are gluten-free--and if they are, I don't care enough to find out...I know which bars are gluten-free and those are the most accessible forms of candy, so that's all that matters to me :P

Yes.

      Cold/flu or gluten poisoning?

      Cold/flu or gluten poisoning? Hello. I've had another similar episode. I find it very difficult to differentiate between the symptoms of a cold or flu and those caused by gluten poisoning. In fact, I don't know if my current worsening is due to having eaten something that disagreed with me or if the cold I have has caused my body, which is hypersensitive...

      Celiac disease symptoms

      I'm no longer dealing with constipation. I got my liver test last month and it was in normal range. Two years ago I did have a vitamin D deficiency but I'm know taking vitamin D3 pills. Last month I got my vitamin D checked and it was in normal range. I don't believe I've had my choline checked. However, I do drink almond milk eat Greek yogurt on a daily...

      Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (NCGS) can be associated with low ferritin and iron deficiency. Once Celiac Disease (1% of the population affected) has been ruled out by tests the next step is to check for Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (10% of the population affected) by eliminating gluten for a trial period, then re-introduce Gluten Challange.

      Celiac disease symptoms

      If you have hemorrhoids 1x weekly I don't see how you have time to heal from one episode before you experience another one, unless each one is a very minor event. Have you consulted a physician about your hemorrhoid issue? It's not normal to be having an episode every week unless it is really one episode that is not completely healing between weekly...

      Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (NCGS) can be associated with low ferritin and iron deficiency. Once Celiac Disease (1% of the population affected) has been ruled out by tests the next step is to check for Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (10% of the population affected) by eliminating gluten for a trial period, then re-introduce Gluten Challange. Have you been supplementing Iron? How are your liver enzymes? Low levels of ferritin indicate iron deficiency, while  59% transferrin saturation indicates high iron levels.  Possibly indicating Fatty Liver Disease.  Choline is crucial for liver health, and deficiency is a known trigger for Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver.  Some experts say that less than 10% eat the the Food and Nutrition Board established Adequate Intake that are based on the prevention of liver damage. Severe constipation and hemorrhoids may be linked to a bile or choline deficiency.  "Ninety-five percent of phospholipids (PLs) in bile is secreted as phosphatidylcholine or lecithin."  Fatty acid composition of phospholipids in bile in man   Deficiency of these bile salts causes the bile to get thick. Some people with Celiac Disease are misdiagnosed with Gall Bladder bile issues.  Removal of the gallbladder provides only temporary relief. Whether or not celiac disease or NCGS are your issues you need to look at your vitamin D blood level.
