Does anyone know if the new Skittles Smoothie mix is gluten-free? Hubby brought them home last night so I can't call company to find out. I would love to use these in the kids Easter baskets. The colors are so pretty!!

Thanks

Cali

According to the Master Foods automated line, all Skittles products are gluten-free, but def. read the labels, if anything looks suspicious (Like OBVIOUS gluten) then don't... Master Foods is one company that will not hide gluten in the artificial flavors or anything, so if Wheat, Barley, Rye, or Oats are not on the label, it's safe

Skittles makes a smoothie mix?! I think the idea of smoothie mixes is kinda silly in the first place, but ... wow... is there anything in it other than whey and sugar?! ;-P (Yeah, yeah, I'm being something of a smartass... :P )

I loooove skittles. I am a personal fan of the Wild Berry variety. The new "ice cream" ones are really gross.

Not a fan of the smoothie mix either.

Are the sour ones gluten-free also? I've always loved those, but they sure do tear your mouth up.

I just bought some skittles today. I got the original ones. Are all of them gluten-free?

I know the original ones are (just so you can eat them right now!) ha. But I'm only pretty sure the others are gluten-free/cf too.

I'm happy with the orginal ones :) Actually I'm really excited, but I may start craving the other flavours. I'm going to eat them right now! Yay!

I haven't been deprived of treats or anything :ph34r:

Well I've tried the Skittles and I didn't get sick :D I'm always nervous for about 12 hours after trying a new product.

Well if I didn't react to them, then they must be safe. I am super sensitive; therefore, I'm the perfect guinea pig!

Can you try those Purely Vanilla bars for me? Just kidding, I'll try them myself and the Skittles. I am so excited about these new snacks.

      Can you link the 2019 JAMA study? When you say "massive doses of D" how large are you talking about?

      Yes, Yaya, it is possible to develop vitamin D toxicity with overdosing since it is a fat soluble vitamin but the dosage needed to get to that point is much larger than was thought years ago. Years ago, doctors were very cautious about D supplementation but more recently the medical community has relaxed their caution as it proved to be overdone. Individual practitioners are not always up to date on everything and sometimes are operating on dated information.

      Kitty, Be careful with massive transfusions of D, it's dangerous per my cardiologist.  Your note made me confirm and he's right.  I found this article called:  Too much vitamin D may harm bones, not help - Harvard Health The study was released on Dec 1, 2019 · and appeared in the Aug. 27 issue of JAMA which found that, compared with people who took moderate amounts of vitamin D, adults who took large amounts daily not only didn't see additional gains in bone density, but in some cases ended up worse off.  I especially must be careful because, like many Celiacs, I have low bone density.  I have been taking Prolia shots for about 5 years.   Also there is such a thing as vitamin D toxicity per my cardiologist.  That's why he carefully monitors my #s and wants me to raise levels slowly.   Take care.

      Oh, @Yaya! Five years???  How awful for you to suffer so long! My Vitamin D came up in a matter of months.  High dose Vitamin D has been used in the past to correct rickets and is a safe method to correct Vitamin D deficiency.   I took 1000 IU several times a day, every day for several weeks.  I ate them like m&m's when I was severely deficient.  My brain craved them.  I felt so much better afterwards.  On maintenance dose now.  Yes, the craving went away as my level reached 80-95.   Ask your cardiologist about supplementing with.Benfotiamine.
