To my knowledge there isn't one hun :< you may have to just do the reasearch yourself... HOWEVER! There is a book called gluten free product list 2010/2011 or something to that degree that lists all of the reasearched products that do not have gluten (it was made by a couple who got sick of calling and calling so they created a book of it for others to use as well)

If you put the name of the candy or maker that you want to know about into a search engine with the words gluten free many times the companies gluten free listing will be easily found. Be sure to read the entire page as some companies will have large lists and then at the bottom will mention CC risks.

Lists are nice but they are out of date the minute they are published and companies can change formulations. I always call the company themselves. Sometimes with a phone call I not only get an answer to the gluten statis but also some companies will send out their current lists snail mail with coupons.

Most ,if not, all hard candys have corn(corn syrup)

Most chocolate candys have soy

The biggest problem I have found with hard candys is CC ( made on shared lines)

Candy lists are usually outdated as soon as they're published. I would suggest you google Gluten-Free Candy and you'll come up with a starting point to check out further. Many times these lists are updated near holidays so I suspect the next new list will be for Halloween candy.

Here are a couple for you to check out (cautiously as ingredients may have changed).

Our fail safe candy when all else fails is starburst and skittles. They both say gluten free on the package. Jelly belly jelly beans says gluten free on the package also (last time I checked anyway). Tootsie products are gluten free..they have info on their website. We have never had a problem with the afformentioned brands. My youngest son is not a big chocolate fan so he tends to like the hard candies and other types like the ones I listed. When in doubt I just call the company.

      Thoughts? Non-endoscopic Celiac diagnosis in two year old

      By Russ H · Posted

      The anti-endomysial antibody test is an old test that is generally reported as positive or negative - a lab technician looks down a microscope to check for fluorescence of the sample. It is less sensitive but more specific for coeliac disease than IgA tTG2. Hence, it is not "barely positive" - it is positive. People diagnosed in childhood recover much more quickly than adults.  I would look at testing all 1st degree relatives - parents, siblings.

      What about digestive enzymes that I hear help? I take align 5x probiotics daily.

      thank you RMJ! That is very helpful advice. Good to know we aren’t crazy if we don’t do the endoscopy. We are going to try the gluten free and see how symptoms and levels improve.    thank you Wheatwacked (love the username lol) that is also reassuring. Thankfully she has an amazing and experienced pediatrician. And yesss I forgot to mention the poop! She has the weirdest poop issues.    How long did it take y'all to start seeing improvement in symptoms?

      My son was diagnosed when he was weaned in 1976 after several endoscopies.  Given your two year old's symptoms and your family history and your pediatrition advocating for the dx, I would agree.  Whether an endoscopy is positive or negative is irrelevant.   That may happen even with endoscopy.  Pick your doctors with that in mind. In the end you save the potential trauma of the endoscopy for your baby.   Mine also had really nasty poop.  His doctor started him on Nutramigen Infant because at the time it was the only product that was hypo allergenic and had complete nutrition. The improvement was immediate.

      So her tissue transglutaminase antibody is almost 4x the upper end of the normal range - likely a real result. The other things you can do besides an endoscopy would be: 1.  Genetic testing.  Unfortunately a large proportion of the population has genes permissive for celiac disease, but only a small proportion of those with the genes have it. With family history it is likely she has the genes. 2.  Try a gluten free diet and see if the symptoms go away AND the antibody levels return to normal. (This is what I would do). Endoscopies aren’t always accurate in patients as young as your daughter. Unfortunately, without an endoscopy, some doctor later in her life may question whether she really has celiac disease or not, and you’ll need to be a fierce mama bear to defend the diagnosis! Be sure you have a good written record of her current pediatrician’s diagnosis. Doing a gluten challenge for an endoscopy later in life could cause a very uncomfortable level of symptoms.   Having yourself, your husband and your son tested would be a great idea.
