Snickers are safe (personal favourite) and a ton others! M&M's (not the pretzel ones), Caramilk..there are too many to name. Read the ingredients and watch out for malt (in Mars bars) or the obvious wheat flour, etc. You could also try doing a search on here, there are lists of safe candy bars and halloween candy. Reeses' PB cups are gluten-free.

My God Man!!!

How did you live without Chocolate for that long?

The first thing I did is go to the candy aisle and scope out the chocolate!

But Nestels chocolate chips do in a pinch...so you are alright.

Reeses Peanut Butter cups are supposed to be safe.

BUT I have read that some packages contain wheat ingredients, especially the Holiday versions of candies.

From what I have read you are safer to go with regular size not mini bites in all candies.

The reason for that is that they use run off chocolate and some have had reactions to the little pieces

when in fact it is a candy that is normally gluten free. Stick with regular or King size and you will be OK.

Snickers are on my regular grocery list as one of the perks of having to be gluten free.

You can also google gluten free candy and get a very comprehensive list.

But do always read the label, you never know

Three Musketeers are safe if you can handle dairy and soy.

      Cycle of dermatitis herpetiformis

      By Hopeful1950 · Posted

      Has any doctor suggested taking a round of Dapsone?  If you have dermatitis herpetiformis, dapsone will clear it fairly quickly.  It is not a drug you would want to take forever, but when all else failed my doc had me take it as a way to determine if it was dermatitis herpetiformis.  Sure enough it worked like a miracle and itch stopped and after 2 months the rash cleared.  Then I embarked on figuring out how to eat to avoid the breakouts.  It is my understanding that once you expose to gluten, the reaction happens and antibodies are deposited in your skin.  They can blister right away or hang around for a long time and get "activated" by other things like your monthlies, pressure, stress etc.... It makes it difficult to diagnose and difficult to manage.

      Best apps for people with celiac

      By Hopeful1950 · Posted

      I use an app called Spoonful where you can scan labels and it will tell you whether it is safe, questionable (and why) and also something you can substitute.  It also makes it easier to see what is on the label.  There are some ingredients that I avoid in addition to gluten. You can also search the app by a category.  I just searched on "cosmetics and a few things popped up as compliant.  I think the app is mainly focused on food.  When I first started out reading labels was a nightmare and it took me so much time at the store.  This app has really helped me when I am looking at something new.  They update frequently, and if something isn't in their data base there is an AI function where you can enter the information from the label and it will analyze it right away for you. I have used an app called Find Me Gluten Free in the past when I am traveling to find restaurants.  People's reviews are very helpful because even when a restaurant claims to be able to accommodate, often people will find out differently and they report it on reviews. Hope this helps.

      Gluten Ataxia and Malabsorption

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It took me 2-3 years to feel like my gut recovered, and then I still had gluten ataxia issues for well over a decade.  This study indicates that a majority of celiacs don't recover until 5 years after diagnosis and starting a gluten-free diet: Mucosal recovery and mortality in adults with celiac disease after treatment with a gluten-free diet However, it's also possible that what the study really shows is the difficulty in maintaining a 100% gluten-free diet. I suspect that if you looked closely at the diets of those who did not recover within 2 years might be that their diets were not 100% gluten-free. Perhaps they ate out more often, or didn't understand all of the hidden ingredients where gluten can hide. Either way, it shows how difficult recovery from celiac disease can be for most people. According to this study: This article explores other causes of flattened villi:
