Their stupid web site tells you how many licks it takes to get to the center of a tootsie pop but not if Dots contain gluten.

If you e-mail them, they'll send you a list. I sent an e-mail about a year ago, so I wasn't going to respond with old information.

It is on the safe list from the celiacsociety.com. It was updated in July 2005. :)

Oh, thankyou, thankyou. :D My son usually only eats them at Halloween. I was making a class treat box for him and I bought them and saw MFS in the ingreds. Since it has been a year almost, I didn't trust them anymore and there's no phone number on this bag and no decent/useful info on their website. THANKS!

I don't know if it did in 2005 with this question was first posted, but as of now they state that none of their confections contain gluten. Tootsie Roll products are safe. Gross, but safe!

      Help understanding test results after negative biopsy

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      HLA DQ8 Positive - This means you have the genes to get celiac disease, which ~40% of people have as well, although only ~1% develop the disease. GLIADIN (DEAMIDATED) AB (IGA) 96.8 HIGH <15.0 Antibody not detected > or = 15.0 Antibody detected Since your biopsy was negative (you're correct that at least 6 samples should have been taken), this could mean non-celiac gluten sensitivity.  Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS. My question is, were you doing a proper gluten challenge before your tests and eating at least 2-4 slices of wheat bread worth of gluten per day in the 6-8 weeks before your blood screening, and at least 2 weeks before your biopsy? This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease.

      Progesterone pills - are they gluten free??

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It is very doubtful that prescriptions medications would be cross-contaminated. It's not impossible, but most companies make many different medications and have very strict protocols for their manufacture.

      I would not say that milk is bad for you, but for those who have lactose intolerance, milk allergy, etc., it's best avoided.

      Can anyone offer any advice/help please!

      By trents · Posted

      @Sammy Web, I'm sorry if I offended you. I was just seeking some clarification. Colloquialisms vary from place to place in the English speaking world. They can even differ from place to place in a given English speaking country.

      Hi Sammy Don't worry I understood the English, and I'm from the UK.🙂 Trents is quite right, though, it is possible to feel perfectly well and have coeliac disease.   Cristiana
