Are M&Ms Gluten Free?
Olivia replied to Grace'smom's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
Thank you for your reply. I'm sorry that you were glutened for me to get this info. I, too, have celiac & am battling my way back from stage 3. I'm realizing that candy is no longer part of my world like so many other yum yums. Take care. -

What did yr skin biopsy show if it didn't detect DH? I have celiac disease as well as DH... the rash from hell. Dapsone was a G-d send. I had DH for 4 yrs before I was diagnosed w/ celiac. If you do have celiac related DH eating gluten for 3 weeks prior to an endoscopy will be horrible for you. I don't think taking dapsone is a good idea if your rash is not...

ARCHIVED Dh testing via an endoscopy

I agree w/ apprehensive engineer. If you can financially manage an endoscopy go for it. My advice is to find a gastro dr that has experience in celiac disease and can interpret your marsh stage if you do have celiac. There's also a good chance you are gluten sensitive.

Are M&Ms Gluten Free?

Hi. Thanks for the reply. I read "wheat" on the packaging of the regular / plain M&Ms package. Not on the mini's package. I've never seen a package of mini-M&Ms. I've only seen them as ice cream toppings. I'll buy a pack and photograph what I read. Maybe this would be helpful? Thanks again, Olivia -

Are M&Ms Gluten Free?
Olivia replied to Grace'smom's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
I remember this thread... that M&Ms are gluten-free --- but not specialty M&Ms. I am very confused as I almost bought the regular M&Ms today. However I read on the package (in small, small print): "Allergens: eggs, soy; wheat!" I checked out the peanut ones & the peanut butter ones. Wheat wasn't listed on them. Can anyone speak to this? I...
