I Need Chocolate!

I am growing very tired of going to the movies or a ball game and sitting there with nothing to snack on. Which chocolates are safe? Are M&M's ok? What about those dumb pretzel ones and the shared equip? Hersheys told me on the phone that none of their stuff can be considered gluten free. huh?! ugh

Enjoy Life stuff wont work b/c they dont sell those products at these places and you can't even bring in a purse or a bag to a ballgame.

What is a safe thing to get at the movies?

Any suggestions?

Thanks!

M&M's are safe. Plain and Peanut.

Not the crispy ones or the Pretzel things...they have gluten.

Hershey's is supposed to be safe, but I've read of people having reactions...something about manufacturing processes have changed. However, I eat them and do not notice a problem.

Snickers are safe.

Reeses are safe...but read the label...some contain wheat.

Just contacted the company re Reeses and was told that NONE can be guaranteed gluten-free at all (in Canada).

Anyone know if M&M's are produced on the same equipment as the pretzel ones? (gag..I wouldnt eat those if I could)

According to some quick research I just did, Snickers are produced on shared equipment with Milky Way bars, which contain malt. Mars, the company who makes both of these do not include barley (malt) in their allergen statement. Not sure if they would be safe for me or not since I am pretty sensitive.

I have not had any problems with Hersheys, just a little trick someone at Trader Joe's told me if the product is kosher and is supposed to be gluten free it probably is. The kosher product with and OU on it (a circle with an U in it) is cleaned 10 times better. That OU cost the company around $20,000 (not kidding) this affords a rabbi on site to check the equipment. I eat kosher anyway so that was a plus to know that. I would like to know if the pretzels are made on the same machine as the regular. Called Mars but after hours there. Also when I went to a baseball game last week I had no problems getting in my own snacks, they check the bag and camera bag, I even got in my water (ok I snuck that). They did not say anything. With the movies and tell them I can get deathly ill and eat your popcorn and sue u or I can just take my own. Never had a problem, even brought in a closed can of coke

Dove chocolate was my favorite before going gluten free, and luckily all of their chocolates are safe (and absolutely delicious!) :D

      Sugar intolerance 10 years into gluten-free diet

      @science enthusiast Christi, It could be Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO). Lots of people with Celiac develop it, especially if they eat a high carbohydrate diet. Colonic bacteria crawl into the small intestine and ferment the excess carbohydrates and prebiotic fibers which causes lots of gas. I changed my diet to the Autoimmune...

      Great Value Veggies cannot be trusted.

      Yes, a rule I usually follow. Pict Sweet was always known to be gluten-free and after many years of use with no problems, it's easy to forget to look.

      What should I expect from a UK restaurant advertising / offering "Gluten Free" food

      "I am quite convinced this gluten is coming from exposure whilst eating out. Small levels, that don't make me violently sick, but might give me a mild stomach upset." cristiana, are you saying this is your actual experience or are you speculating here?

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      I have tried many Vit D. Solgad is one that did not cause any problems. I take 5000IU. Most of their vitamins are gluten-free certified but this is not. They can be purchased direct from Solgar or Amazon.

I need to find another gi but its useless because its going to be same thing around here.i just feel lost and in tbe medical file they are writing what ever and its really not ok. In fact i dont want to go unless they record the conversation. Yes its that bad.im only having  care and concern for my ms whose Not part of the same health association that pcp and gi are with.I will have to look into changing to another. Mayo clinic is great but its the celiac, sibo, ect and all related issues that need addressed but current " careteam says call when needed. No plans of scheduled dates

      @science enthusiast Christi, It could be Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO).  Lots of people with Celiac develop it, especially if they eat a high carbohydrate diet.   Colonic bacteria crawl into the small intestine and ferment the excess carbohydrates and prebiotic fibers which causes lots of gas.   I changed my diet to the Autoimmune Protocol Diet (AIP), a Paleo diet, and supplemented with a B Complex and Benfotiamine, a form of Thiamine that helps heal the intestines and has antibacterial properties.  I had improvement within a few days.  The AIP diet starves out the carbohydrate loving SIBO bacteria and allows more beneficial bacteria a chance to repopulate. Hope this helps.
