I have Celiac. Does anyone know if I can eat Brach’s Original Candy Corn? It doesn’t mention wheat. Thank you.

I think it does not contain gluten ingredients but it might be  manufactured in a facility that uses wheat (or used to).

So, hopefully someone who has consumed them, can vouch for them.  What does the packaging say? Products change all the time. Me?  I am pretty strict and am not a risk taker.  I choose other candies that are labeled gluten free.  To be honest, I also try to purchase candy made in the US.

Thank you. The ones at Target don’t say they’re manufactured on the same equipment as wheat products are.

Brachs has just come out with gluten free candy corn. It is in a white package, not the traditional orange one. However It is being made availableo only in select markets.

I ate a ton of candy corn at Halloween and had no problem, unless you count the jeans that won't zip.

      Yes, this sounds right. Let us know when you find out your results.

      Hi thanks for your response! This is the only other info that’s on my test results for the IgA. The initial testing performed in the Celiac Disease Reflex Panel is the total IgA. If the total IgA is <10 mg/dL, the reflex tests that will be ordered are the Tissue Transglutaminase IgG Antibody and the Deamidated Gliadin Peptide IgG Antibody. If the total IgA is >=10 mg/dL, the reflex test that will be ordered is the Tissue Transglutaminase IgA Antibody. Does that give some insight?  following up with my Dr early next week… thanks again.  And I didn’t eat more gluten than usual during the last 6-8 weeks on purpose. Just a normal diet prior to testing. I had gluten everyday for 6-8 weeks though I’m sure.

      Have you tried sheep's milk and goat's milk cheeses? After my diagnosis I could not tolerate cow's milk for ~2 years until my villi healed, but for some reason I did not have issues with sheep milk or goat milk cheeses.  I also had temporary issues with chicken eggs, but could eat duck eggs.

      This is not a test for celiac disease, but your total IgA levels. This test is usually done with other celiac disease blood tests to make sure the results are accurate. Did they do a tTg-IgA test as well? Were you eating lots of gluten in the 6-8 weeks leading up to your blood tests? This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease. One test that always needs to be done is the IgA Levels/Deficiency Test (often called "Total IGA") because some people are naturally IGA deficient, and if this is the case, then certain blood tests for celiac disease might be false-negative, and other types of tests need to be done to make an accurate diagnosis. The article includes the "Mayo Clinic Protocol," which is the best overall protocol for results to be ~98% accurate.

      Test results came back for everything that was tested now. Cholesterol is off the charts high. Not sure if that’s related to celiac, I have no idea how it could be so high. Also tested positive for H pylori  infection… is there a link to celiac and H pylori? Or am I just experiencing symptoms of the H pylori infection?
