    Celiac.com 08/17/2022 - We are constantly fielding questions from readers asking whether certain foods and products are gluten-free. 

    Lately, we've been getting numerous questions about Nutella, the much loved, oft-maligned chocolate hazelnut spread. Specifically, is Nutella gluten-free and safe for people with celiac disease? The answer is yes.

    Celiac.com Sponsor (A12):
     For those who might not know, Nutella is a brand of sweetened hazelnut cocoa spread, made by the Italian company Ferrero.

    According to the company website, Nutella contains just seven ingredients: sugar, milk, palm oil, cocoa, hazelnuts, lecithin and vanillin. 

    While it is not labeled as a gluten-free product, Nutella is made without gluten ingredients, and contains no allergen warnings for wheat or gluten. Also, large numbers of people with celiac disease eat Nutella without any issues.

    For this reason, Nutella is considered gluten-free and safe for people with celiac disease.

    Be sure to see our article on Brands of Gluten-Free Nutella Chocolate Hazelnut Spread for a list of safe brands.

    So its “gluten free” but not gluten free.

     

    I hate it when companies do that. No thanks.

    The Top 16 Gluten-Free Candy Bars
    Celiac.com 04/21/2020 (Updated on 03/05/2021) - We've had more than a few requests for a handy list of top candy bars that are gluten-free. Note that although some of these bars do not use "gluten-free" on their labels, they do list all ingredients and disclose whether they contain any of the top 8 allergens. If you're a candy bar lover looking for a reliable source of gluten-free candy bars, it's always best to look for bars that specifically marked "gluten-free," however, many of the bars in this list have been consumed for years by celiacs without issues, and don't contain any gluten ingredients. These major brands of candy bars are widely available, are gluten-free by ingredient and allergen disclosures, and deliver good bang for the buck.

    Celiac.com 08/16/2022 - For those who might not know, Nutella is a brand of sweetened hazelnut cocoa spread, made by the Italian company Ferrero.

    For anyone interested, the folks over at thekitchn.com did a taste test of the top chocolate hazelnut spreads, which might help you to choose the best one for you.

      Gluten free vitamins

      I've tried magnesium before. Twice in 2 years. It really upset my stomach. And that was before this celiac disease diagnosis. (Finally, after 2 years of trying to find out what was wrong with me.) I have no idea how sensitive I am. When my stomach was upset, I'd go to my comfort foods: cream of wheat, cheese and crackers, scrambled eggs and toast...so, making...

      Have you considered also supplementing with magnesium and zinc? We usually recommend these two as well. D3, Calcium and Magnesium all important for bone and nerve health.

      Gluten free vitamins

      Not sure if it's the same formulation as what they sell to Costco. Look for "Gluten Free" on the packaging. And realize that "Gluten Free" does not mean "no gluten". It simply means not more than 20 ppm of gluten. That's fine for most celiacs but if you are of the super sensitive subset it may not be.

      Gluten free vitamins

      Thank you. Not near a Costco. Near Jewel, Kroger, Walgreens, Walmart, Aldi's. I just looked, and Jewel carries a Nature Made vitamin line. I wonder if it's the same?
