HI I just need to know if the snack size butterfingers, snickers, milky way are gluten free. I don't mean the bite size but the snack size. I think I read somewhere that there might be wheat in the smaller sizes, but I didn't know if they meant snack size or bite size. Also, does anyone know if tootsie rolls are gluten-free? Thanks for your help

I can't help you with the snack size candy question, but I do know that tootsie rolls are gluten-free. I eat a couple everyday! :)

Hi - Don't really know the answer to your question about the snack size vs mini. But Milky Way (at least the regular) are not gluten free in any size unless they changed something recently. The Midnight Milky Way are gluten-free.

I do eat the smaller sizes of 3 musketeers and snickers without any problem but don't know the official stand. I do know that the poppers are not considered gluten-free even if the candy bars are.

I've noticed this to be a bit of a controversial topic. Some say the Hershey mini's are "dusted with flour" and others say they contain gluten from the lines they come off of (that Hersheys' processes the minis or snack size on the same lines as the wheat containing candy, therefore CC). I however decided to take my chances last week at work after being so sick and tired of everyone bringing in goodies that I couldn't eat - I ate several mini Reeses peanut butter cups and a couple mini Hershey's milk chocolate bars and had no problem. I think it is mostly a CYA statement from Hershey's, but I do know that 3 muskateers and butterfinger (small and normal sizes) ARE gluten-free :)

      Has anyone found Ozempic affected their symptoms?

      By BertoleAmur · Posted

      I’ve been gluten-free for a while too, and I know how frustrating it can be when your body reacts unexpectedly. I haven’t personally experienced what you’re describing with Ozempic, but I did have a situation where I took a break from certain supplements and noticed my body felt a lot better.

      Two of our moderators @knitty kitty and @Wheatwacked know a lot more about nutrients and may be able to offer some more help, so hopefully they will chime in here.

      Hi Scott, thanks for the reply.    I’m currently taking  3000IU vitamin D3 centrum multivitamin  500mg vitamin C 1000mcg B12 naturemade softgel Omega 3 (for dry eyes) My latest labs for vitamins were D - 43.6 (range 30-100) B12 - 406 (range 232-1245) Folate - 11.4 (range >3.0) ferritin - 117 (30-400) magnesium - 2.3 (1.6-2.3) Calcium - 9.9 (8.7-10.2)   I am 29 and really struggling with this emotionally, I was caught by surprise 2.5months ago with this dx and pretty much no symptoms that I really knew of besides low ferritin. When I first met with the GI doctor in July and he ordered the endoscopy/colonoscopy, that was around when the twitching started. I’m unsure if it’s the anxiety of it all (I have been consistently freaking out since the scopes were ordered, losing sleep, obsessively googling etc.) or if it’s celiac related. I’m horrified that I might have something else wrong with me.  Additionally, I’ve been getting some mixed opinions - dietician told me to stop the additional b12 because my multi had b12, but I see online that some people think b12 levels should be well over 500.    Some other things that I’ve experienced since I went gluten free are more “sinus” headaches, facial pressure, some cramping in my left side (could be postural problems I’m dealing with) and dry eyes - my eye doctor has me on some eyes drops that really help and this is a work in progress. And no my mouth isn’t dry too 😅   I’m absolutely beside myself with fear of other AI diseases and have no one I can really turn to (besides online) that has dealt with this. I have no idea what’s in my mind and what is a real symptom anymore because I’m so hyper aware of every sensation in my body! Thank you so much in advance for any input/guidance.

      I never had muscle twitching that I would relate to Celiac Disease (celiac disease).  However, I now have Long Covid and muscle twitching, burning, and other issues cropped up with that.  Predating all was restless leg syndrome (RLS).  Are you talking about RLS?  I've had that since '99.  It gets progressively worse.

      Hello @aperlo34, what types of supplements are you taking? Your symptoms could be related to vitamin/mineral deficiencies.   The most common nutrient deficiencies associated with celiac disease that may lead to testing for the condition include iron, vitamin D, folate (vitamin B9), vitamin B12, calcium, zinc, and magnesium.  Unfortunately many doctors, including my own doctor at the time, don't do extensive follow up testing for a broad range of nutrient deficiencies, nor recommend that those just diagnosed with celiac disease take a broad spectrum vitamin/mineral supplement, which would greatly benefit most, if not all, newly diagnosed celiacs. Because of this it took me decades to overcome a few long-standing issues I had that were associated with gluten ataxia, for example numbness and tingling in my feet, and muscle knots--especially in my shoulders an neck. Only long term extensive supplementation has helped me to resolve these issues.
