Hi, I am new to this and posting. I tried to post a few weeks back but no response. I am hoping this goes through. I am now 1 month in to this. I would like to find out, what kind of candy and gum are safe to eat?

Have any of you tried Amy's Gluten-Free Pizza? It is pretty good if you add to it. I love Pizza so I am missing that the most.

Is melodextrin Gluten? I need help please I hope somone sees this!

Thanks,

Valerie :)

If maltodextrin is in food that was made in the the United States it is okay, made out of corn or something - not sure, if it is in Medicine, you need to check the source, it might be okay or it might not be okay.

If Maltodextrin is in food that is not manufactured in the United States it is probably not safe. I would not chance it but if it is something that you want to eat on a continual basis you could check to see what it was from.

there is a lady that has a group called Silly Yak, she keeps the gluten-free candy list - it is huge.

Yummy Earth also makes a lollipop that is gluten-free. Actually its nearly all allergy-free as its corn-free, milk-free, egg-free, etc and so on.

You can get them at amazon .com.

Dear valzues,

There seems to actually be more candy and junk food we are allowed than healthy food! Go to Amanda's Mommy's Blog for a complete list of candies. To get you started, I chew Extra Sugar-free Bubblegum, and I love Butterfingers, Reese's Peanut Butter Cups, Andes, Junior Mints, as well as many others that are safe. Skittles are also safe according to this blog. Check it out! There is an extensive list of all kinds of foods you are allowed! I hope this helps. :)

Sincerely,

NoGluGirl

Hey.

I know this has been mentioned before but I am going to say it again.

If you are travelling to another country please read the ingredients on all chocolates/lollies even if they are safe where you are from. For example while m&ms are gluten-free in the US they are NOT in Australia. I think they use wheat starch in the shells. I am fairly sure that skittles are also out.

There are tons of candies and chips that we can still have. Any specific candy you want to know about?

      Type 1 diabetes (4year old) and positieve ttg

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @marinke! "Type 1a diabetes (DM1) is associated with an increased risk of celiac disease (celiac disease) (1)." from: https://diabetesjournals.org/care/article/35/10/2083/38503/IgA-Anti-transglutaminase-Autoantibodies-at-Type-1 "The prevalence of celiac disease (celiac disease) in children with type 1 diabetes (T1D) is 5.1%, and it is often asymptomatic (1)." from: https://diabetesjournals.org/care/article/48/2/e13/157637/Diagnostic-Outcomes-of-Elevated-Transglutaminase So, this is 5x the rate found in the general population.

      Long term recovery

      By Mari · Posted

      Hi James47, You are less than 2 years into your recovery from Celiacs.  Tell us more about the problems you are having. Do you just want to get rid of belly fat or are you still having symptoms like gas and bloating.    For symptoms you may need to change your diet and take various supplements that you cannot adsorb from the foods you eat because of the damage caused by the autoimmune reaction in your small intestine.

      Type 1 diabetes (4year old) and positieve ttg

      By marinke · Posted

      My daughter (4 years old) has type 1 diabetes since she was 1. Therefore, every year a screening is done. We live in the Netherlands. Every year the screening was fine. This year here ttg is positive, 14, >7 is positive. IGA was in range. Could the diabetes cause this positive result? Or the fact that she was sick the weeks before the brood test?

      Shortness Of Breath (the "sighs")?

      By Baz · Posted

      @DayaInTheSun what were the shortness of breath symptoms for you ? And did they come on all of a sudden or was it a gradual increase in said symptoms?

      Shortness Of Breath (the "sighs")?

      By DayaInTheSun · Posted

      I had shortness of breath so much so I went to a lung doctor. I told him I get short of breath wirh certain foods, he said “Food doesn’t affect hour breathing.” I told him maybe it was an allergy  he cut me off then said “Food allergies don’t cause shortness of breathe.” I beg to differ as soon as I figured out what foods were causing my shortness of breath it went away. I also never saw him again as he was rude, condescending? And refuse to listen to me kept dismissing my problems as “you’re young.” I cut out Soy, dairy, sesame, eggs, and of course gluten. I stopped being short of breath, going on a two years now. No thanks to the doctor I saw. Figured it out on my own.
