Sees Candy?

My roommate thoughtfully bought me a box of sees candy for my birthday... He researched and found that most of their candies are gluten free and went to the store and hand picked the ones that they told him were safe. I googled it and found Sees to only list four of their candies as containing gluten, mostly holiday stuff. I was wondering I anyone has experiences with Sees to share? I am just do wary because I've had so many cross contamination issues with other products. Sees candies are so good I'm afraid it may be too good to be true! I dont want to dig in until I feel more confident, I'm pretty sensitive.

I found out over the holidays that most of Sees candy is indeed gluten-free! Someone bought a box into the office -- they always offer things to me first so no one with gluten hands touch first :) I did a quick internet search and found most of the candy in the box was gluten-free...I was able to pick a few that met all of my dietary restrictions so I made a stop at the local Sees shop to buy some treats for my kids Christmas stockings -- the women working at my local shop where very well educated about all allergies and intolerances.

I grew up with Sees on special occasions and now my kids can have these treats too!

Both my sister and I are sensitive to trace amounts of gluten and we have see's candies every holiday as a treat. We've never had any problems with any of the chocolate, just avoid the packaged ones with the frosting on them. That's the only thing to avoid, everything else is gluten free. You can buy gift certificates at Costco to save money on 1 lb. boxes too.

I read the posts about Sees candy being gluten-free. I'm not a huge candy lover ~~~ lost my sweet tooth somewhere but every once in a while I get a craving especially for dark chocolate. I sure hope their chocolate is as great as you guys say because I just made an order. Pricey. Getting some dark chocolate bars & a 1 lb. assorted box of chocolates. Will be here by the end of the week.

      By nanny marley · Posted

      Hi I've been told I need a MRI on my bowels , I was booked for a colonoscopy, but because of my sever back issues and trapped nerve it can't be done , the nurse told me I will have to have a manitol drink a hour before the scan , I'm just a bit worried has I have issues with sweeteners like even a little,  I get a weird throat and ears and I've read it is a similar substance , not sure if anyone has had one of these scans or could give me some advise on the drink prep thanks in advance 😄

      Celiac attack confusion and anxiety

      By Colleen H · Posted

      Hi all ! Can a celiac attack be so intense that it causes your entire body to work in reverse? Meaning really bad pain,  neuropathy and muscle,  jaw pain,  the stomach issues , Horrible anxiety and confusion??  I had a Tums and you would think I ate poison. My jaw and stomach did not like it . Not the norm for me. Things that are simple are just out of control. Anyone ever have this happen??  I'm trying to figure out what I ate or did to bring on a celiac like attack. I had an idea before but yesterday I didn't have any gluten unless it was in a medication ?! Any positive suggestions ??  Thank you

      Gluten free stuff

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      The following two lists are very helpful for anyone who is gluten sensitive and needs to avoid gluten when shopping. It's very important to learn to read labels and understand sources of hidden gluten, and to know some general information about product labelling--for example in the USA if wheat is a possible allergen it must be declared on a product's ingredient label like this: Allergens: Wheat.

      Gluten free stuff

      By trents · Posted

      Tammy, in the food industry, "gluten free" doesn't mean the same thing as "no gluten". As Scott explained, the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) allows food companies to use the "gluten-free" label as long as the product does not contain more than 20 ppm (parts per million) of gluten. This number is based on studies the FDA did years ago to determine the reaction threshold for those with celiac disease. And the 20 ppm figure works for the majority of celiacs. There are those who are more sensitive, however, who still react to that amount. There is another, stricter standard known as "Certified Gluten Free" which was developed by a third party organization known as GFCO which requires not more than 10 ppm of gluten. So, when you see "GFCO" or "Certified Gluten Free" labels on food items you know they are manufactured with a stricter standard concerning gluten content. Having said all that, even though you may read the disclaimer on a food item that says the spices may contain wheat, barley or rye (the gluten grains), you should be able to trust that the amount of gluten the spices may contain is so small it allows the total product to meet the requirements of gluten free or certified gluten free labeling. I hope this helps.
