Sorry, I did not realise that you were in Canada (even though it clearly says it in your profile under your username...)

I've never heard of most of those candies and there is the possiblity that their processing is different there than in the U.S..

Loribelle, Reese's minis are gluten free.

OH YIPPEEEE!!! Thanks so much! I'm going to have one right now in celebration! :)

It's the simple things that make me sooo happy. :lol:

Sorry for all the questions, but do you know if the Hershey mini bags of Kissables and Reeses Peices are gluten-free? I just bought two big bags of those (at 75% off!)..

Thanks!

Hey Guys,

In Australia... Snickers is definatly not gluten free, contains wheat flour here... sigh...

GAH! How on earth did I miss that? I got one last week, read the label and must have completely skipped it. :angry: Think I will just stick to stuff marked gluten free.

btw- M&ms in Australia are a no, no. Wheat starch or flour used in the shells.

I think the candies themselves are fine, provided they are the same size and shape as the regular product I see no reason why they'd be prepared any differently. The only possible problem is the packaging and whether or not gluten is present when these things are being bagged. The candies that are not packaged in fun-sized bags for Halloween are marked as safe on the lists I've seen.

interesting topic....my 5 year old is hyper sensitive to gluten and so far she has not had a problem with the snickers minis. Not discounting any one elses experiences but that's been ours.

In my research I found the same as others, the official statment is that the minis are gluten free. What is NOT gluten free are the popables. Those are the round little bite size balls in the stand up bags.

      Awaiting diagnosis

      I would ask for a total IGA test (aka, Immunoglobulin A (IgA) and other names as well) to check for IGA deficiency. That test should always be ordered along with the TTG IGA. If someone is IGA deficient, their individual celiac IGA test scores will be artificially low which can result in false negatives. Make sure you are eating generous amounts of gluten leading up to any testing or diagnostic procedure for celiac disease to ensure validity of the results. 10g of gluten daily for a period of at least 2 weeks is what current guidelines are recommending. That's the amount of gluten found in about 4-6 slices of wheat bread.

      There was not a total IGA test done, those were the only two ordered. I would say I was consuming a normal amount of gluten, I am not a huge bread or baked goods eater

      Were you consuming generous amounts of gluten in the weeks leading up to the blood draw for the antibody testing? And was there a Total IGA test done to test for IGA deficiency?

      Thank you for the reply. It was the TTG IGA that was within normal limits

      Welcome to the forum, @jlp1999! Which IGA test do you refer to as being normal? TTG-IGA? Total IGA? DGP-IGA? Yes, any positive on an IGA or an IGG test can be due to something other than celiac disease and this is especially true of weak positives. Villous atrophy can also be cause by other things besides celiac disease such as some medications, parasitic infections and even some foods (especially dairy from an intolerance to the dairy protein casein). But the likelihood of that being the case is much less than it being caused by celiac disease.
