Does anybody know if hershey's chocolate kisses have gluten in them? I know the plain milk chocolate kisses are gluten free, but what about the others? Especially the white and milk chocolate HUGS (Those are my favorites :P ). Can't wait for your replies so I can start eating chocolate! :D

You will have to read the label. But you should know that any Hershey products that list "natural flavor", the company will not disclose the source. So there is no way to determine whether products that list "natural flavors" are gluten free or not.

I personally don't support companies who support their suppliers, rather than the people who buy their products.

Dove doesn't make "hugs" but you can get small bags of several varieties at WalMart for $2-3. My personal preference is the dark chocolates. :P

Ditto. I read about a test "they" did to see which chocolate was the one better for you and dove dark was high on the list, even higher than some of the bars at the health food store. But who knows how accurate it was. :huh:

"They" only tested like 10 kinds.

Don't eat the Hershey little bar assortments. They will not guarantee that they are gluten free. Regular size Hershey bars are fine. All this is assuming you can have dairy? If you are newly diagnosed sometimes you find that dairy is a problem as well for a while. If that should happen don't despair--there are great dairy-free dark chocolates you could have too.

      Abnormal Labs, Should I Be Concerned?

      By Ginger38 · Posted

      I also had high eosinophils which I’ve never had before either - could that be due to gluten consumption?

      You're welcome! Be sure the patient eats at least ten grams of gluten per day for a minimum of two weeks prior to repeating antibody testing.   Some people unconsciously reduce the amount of gluten in their diet because the feel unwell.  Three grams of gluten per day is sufficient to produce symptoms.  Only at ten grams or more is the immune system provoked to raise the antibody production high enough so that the antibodies leave the digestive tract and enter the blood stream where they can be measured.   Read the comments below the article...

      Thanks for your response and thoughts. Total IgA is normal. HLA DQ2/DQ8 came as heterozygous and the interpretation of the lab that the risk of coeliac disease is mild to moderate. Thyroid function test is normal. I agree that the best way is to repeat tTG antibodies in 6 months time as the result was not massively high.

      Welcome to the forum, @Wamedh Taj-Aldeen, How is the patient's thyroid?   You could check for thiamine deficiency which can cause the thyroid to either become hyper or hypo.  TTg IgA can be high in both hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism.  tTg IgA can also be high if patient is taking medications to stimulate the thyroid as in hypothyroidism.   Thanks for visiting!  Keep us posted!
