Confectionery

I just need help with some confectionery hoping its the same woldwide, as we are in Australia.

From what I have gathered they are gluten free, just hoping someone can clarify before I tell DD she can have them.

Starburst chews

Snickers

Tic Tacs all flavours, I read they contain corn gluten, not that of wheat, barley or rye. So I figured they were ok.

Thanks

Lisa

The best thing you can do is to call the companies and ask. I know in the US that Snickers are safe as well as starburst but that does not mean they are where you are. One benefit to calling companies is they will sometimes send you coupons for the items you are questioning. Many companies put a phone number on their products or list a website where you may be able to get some info or contact.

It's definitely, definitely not the same worldwide, so be sure to check Australia-specific information (Australia is really good about labeling though, so you should be able to simply check labels to find out if there is any gluten in the products you mentioned).

      Yes, if you had symptoms when eating gluten ruling out celiac disease won't necessarily mean you'll be able to eat gluten again, although it might mean that you may be able to be less strict with your gluten-free diet.

      Have you considered the possibility that you might have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) rather than celiac disease? They share many of the same symptoms, the difference being that NCGS does not damage the lining of the small bowel. It is 10x more common than celiac disease. There is no test yet available for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out. In view of your genetic profile, I would give it consideration.

      Hi, 25f who recently had a endoscopy procedure to diagnose celiac disease. Mum and uncle are both diagnosed celiacs. I've had symptoms over the past year - headaches that have become debilitating and frequent, feeling faint and nauseous with high heart rate, diarrhea and constipation, anemia, and recently my periods have become almost non existent. My doctor sent me a letter yesterday saying this " biopsies from the duodenum show some very mild features that could be in keeping with celiac disease but also could be due to other causes". I am waiting on an appointment to see him in the clinic to discuss this but in the meantime I wanted to check if anyone else has experienced this? I was eating plenty of gluten before my camera test and for the past 2 weeks have completely cut it out of my diet and I'm seeing changes in my bowel movements for the first time in my life! Headaches, dizziness etc are still there but maybe it takes longer for them to go away? Any help would be so appreciated -  I feel so lost in this whole process!!

      Did your symptoms improve after going on a gluten-free diet?
