Milk Duds

Hershey's has one of the least helpful websites I've ever visited! Anyone know if milk duds are gluten-free or not? Their ingredients look okay...but...(my son has a box and is bugging me this morning rather than yesterday when consumer affairs might have been open. Aargh!)

Hershey's is actually a wonderful company. All you have to do is read the label. Things are not hidden, if it comes from a top allergen it will be listed as such.

FYI-

I've found that Hershey's, Kraft, and Oscar Meyer have said that they list "top allergens" clearly on their products (according to their websites and to phone-reps. that I've talked with recently). -Julie

Good luck! B);):)

WooHoo! You have made my 10 year old very happy. This is his favorite candy (okay, and probably one of mine too :rolleyes:)

Actually, all of the companies mentioned here don't just list top allergens, they list any gluten. BTW, Oscar Meyer is a part of Kraft.

Here is a list of companies or brands (some are subsidiaries of the bigger companies) that list gluten or wheat. On the bigger companies, like Kraft, Unilever, General Mills, or Conagra, go to their web site to see all their brands. There are more than this, but I've checked these myself:

Aunt Nelly's

Balance

Baskin Robbins

Ben & Jerry

Betty Crocker

Blue Bunny

Butterball

Breyers

Campbells

Cascadian Farms

Celestial Seasonings

ConAgra *lists wheat only

Country Crock

Edy's

General Mills

Good Humor

Green Giant

Hellman's

Hershey

Hormel

Hungry Jack

Jiffy

Knorr

Kozy Shack

Kraft

Libby's

Lipton

Martha White

McCormick

Nabisco

Nestle

Old El Paso

Ortega

Pillsbury

Popsicle

Post

Progresso

Russell Stover

Seneca Foods

Smucker

Stokely's

Sunny Delight

T Marzetti

Tyson

Unilever

Wishbone

Yoplait

Zatarain's

Hey Richard-

Nice list! Oscar Meyor/Kraft are the same (good call, my mistake)...I was just sitting here at work yesterday and was racking my brain for companies/products that I remembered clearly listing gluten on the labels. (Especially products that a child might beg for or enjoy eating...i.e. candy and hotdogs) :P;)

Hey Freya...

looks like you've got plenty of options...and a happy 10 year old! ;)B)

Take Care all-

Enjoy the holidays

-Julie :)

Very good list indeed. I've tried to buy more from the companies that list allergens whenever given a choice. But i was pretty dismayed a few wks ago when i found a Kraft product w/ an obvious gluten source and no allergen warning on the pkg. It was Louis Rich brand pre-cooked seasoned chickenstrips. I took a picture w/ my Palm but it didn't come out clear enough to read the details, unfortunately.

I remember which store and tho it isn't close i go by there occassionally so maybe i'll go look again and write down the info instead of relying on a camera in a device for which taking pics isn't its primary function.

I'm not sure that Kraft does allergen warnings, at least I don't remember them doing it. What they do is what you saw -- they clearly list gluten in the ingredients.

      Symptoms and trying to figure this out

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Also ask for a test of vitamin D levels. I agree with knitty kitty that cyclical Thiamine deficiency may be the cause of your cycle.  Celiac Disease causes multiple vitamin and mineral deficiencies.   Itchy palms can be a symptom of iodine deficiency.  Low iodine levels can lead to dry, flaky skin on the hands and  body due to the disruption of normal skin cell regeneration caused by a lack of thyroid hormone production, which relies on iodine. Other symptoms are   fatigue, weight gain, sensitivity to cold. I take between 600 and 1200 mcg a day Liquid Iodine. It has improved my healing.  Strong Iodine and Lugols Solution are other options.  Start low and build up over time. Between 1970 and 1988 the dietary intake of Americans dropped by 50%. Perhaps this is why some can tolerate the bread in Europe?

      Be cautious with vitamin D if you are female and post-menopausal.  I had to decrease my D dosage from 4000 IU/day to 2000 IU because of hormonal acne and unwanted facial hair - likely from an increased testosterone level from the D.  Finally relief!  I hope to keep my D level below 50 nm/l now.

      Do you eat processed gluten free foods?

      Coping with celiac

      You may want to wear an N-95 mask to filter out any possible gluten, at least when you handle the flour.

      3 years with Celiac, now I appear fine.

      It sounds like you've been on quite the journey trying to understand your symptoms and diagnosis. It’s great that you’re planning to consult a doctor for allergy testing, as distinguishing between a wheat allergy, celiac disease, or another gluten-related condition is crucial for moving forward. The fact that you’ve tolerated barley and wheat products without recent symptoms might suggest something other than celiac disease, but as you noted, the absence of immediate symptoms doesn’t necessarily rule out potential underlying damage, especially if celiac disease is still a possibility. It’s worth discussing whether you should undergo updated testing, such as genetic testing for celiac markers (HLA-DQ2/DQ8), or even revisiting an endoscopy if appropriate. In the meantime, keep documenting your experiences with food and symptoms—it could provide valuable insights for your healthcare provider. It’s also important to test for other possible causes of your original symptoms, like IBS, food intolerances, or even other autoimmune conditions, to ensure nothing is overlooked.
