First of all happy halloween everyone! This is my first year with celiac, every year I raid the kids candy bags after they go to bed (they don't need all that anyways!!! :P ) Could someone please just throw out some candy bars or other little tid bits that are known to be okay for us? Let me pick your brain! So far I know I am safe with the kraft caramels and hersheys chocolate, there has to be more????

Actually, I've heard that the miniature Reeses use wheat flour in the manufacturing process.

Milky Way Midnight is safe, regular Milky Way is not (malt in the nugat).

A Halloween story!!!!

Grandkids out treat or treating , ages 8 & 5. The five year old goes first & the lady hands him a pkg. of peanut butter crackers. He says" Oh I can't have these because they have wheat in them". The lady looked at him in a rude way & says "Oh no they don't ,its a cracker"!!!!!He then turns to us & shakes his head & tells her that crackers are made from wheat! She comes back with "NO HONEY" they are made from flour!!!!!!!!!!!DUH!!! At this point we told him to take the crackers & Daddy would eat them.

We have been teaching him to look at food & try to read the label for certain words.It's pretty bad when a kid knows what flour comes from & an adult doesn't... We really never thought he would refuse any halloween stuff so we were totaly shocked when he went into the discussion about wheat.

I guess our lessons on Wheat have really been tattooed into his brain.... Now if only the older one can get it & not try to cheat at school!!!!!

I think he would have argued the wheat /flour issue all night...When we got home & was sorting good & bad treats he started to laugh when we got to the crackers...Then he said " I don't think she was a very smart lady"... Out of the mouths of babes...... I really wanted to agree...

      Diabetic 2

      By trents · Posted

      There is no established connection between type 2 diabetes and celiac disease. There is a connection with type 1, however, as about 6% of those with type 1 diabetes also have celiac disease. This rate is 6x that of the celiac rate found in the general population. https://celiac.org/about-celiac-disease/related-conditions/diabetes-and-celiac-disease/

      Chicken Thighs

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Here is a link to the skin version, and the only ingredients are "chicken": https://www.perduefarms.com/en-US/perdue-bone-in-chicken-thighs-pack/60625.html There should also be ingredients and any allergens listed there on the package.

      Chicken Thighs

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @BeeBarnard! I really can't imagine how either skin or skinless chicken thighs could not be gluten free unless one or the other were treated with some seasoning ingredient that was not gluten free. Do the product labels indicate any additional ingredients added to the meat? Is your daughter a super sensitive celiac? If not, the amount of gluten cross contamination found in seasonings is usually inconsequential.

      Chicken Thighs

      By BeeBarnard · Posted

      HI, My daughter was recently diagnosed with Celiac and I would like to make her some chicken soup (she's got he flu). I found all gluten free ingredients but I'm having trouble with the chicken. I purchased Purdue bone-in chicken thighs from BJ's Wholesale Club. Purdue says that they are gluten free but the BJ's website says no. It seems like skin-on chicken is not, but skinless is. Does this seem accurate? Thank you
