Sees Candy?

My roommate thoughtfully bought me a box of sees candy for my birthday... He researched and found that most of their candies are gluten free and went to the store and hand picked the ones that they told him were safe. I googled it and found Sees to only list four of their candies as containing gluten, mostly holiday stuff. I was wondering I anyone has experiences with Sees to share? I am just do wary because I've had so many cross contamination issues with other products. Sees candies are so good I'm afraid it may be too good to be true! I dont want to dig in until I feel more confident, I'm pretty sensitive.

I found out over the holidays that most of Sees candy is indeed gluten-free! Someone bought a box into the office -- they always offer things to me first so no one with gluten hands touch first :) I did a quick internet search and found most of the candy in the box was gluten-free...I was able to pick a few that met all of my dietary restrictions so I made a stop at the local Sees shop to buy some treats for my kids Christmas stockings -- the women working at my local shop where very well educated about all allergies and intolerances.

I grew up with Sees on special occasions and now my kids can have these treats too!

Both my sister and I are sensitive to trace amounts of gluten and we have see's candies every holiday as a treat. We've never had any problems with any of the chocolate, just avoid the packaged ones with the frosting on them. That's the only thing to avoid, everything else is gluten free. You can buy gift certificates at Costco to save money on 1 lb. boxes too.

I read the posts about Sees candy being gluten-free. I'm not a huge candy lover ~~~ lost my sweet tooth somewhere but every once in a while I get a craving especially for dark chocolate. I sure hope their chocolate is as great as you guys say because I just made an order. Pricey. Getting some dark chocolate bars & a 1 lb. assorted box of chocolates. Will be here by the end of the week.

      Celiac or Addison's complications? Can someone share their experience?

      By trents · Posted

      @KRipple, thank you for the lab results from your husband's celiac disease blood antibody testing. The lab result you share would seem to be the tTG-IGA (Tissue Transglutaminase IGA) and the test result is in excess of 10x normal. This is significant as there is an increasing tendency for physicians to grant a celiac disease diagnosis on the basis of antibody testing alone when the scores on that particular test exceed 10x normal. This trend started in the UK during the COVID pandemic when there was tremendous pressure on the medical system over there and it has spread to the USA. The tTG-IGA is the centerpiece of celiac disease blood antibody testing. All this to say that some doctors would grant a celiac disease diagnosis on your husband's bloodwork alone and not feel a need to go forward with an endoscopy with biopsy. This is something you and your husband might wish to take up with his physicians. In view of his many health issues it might be wise to avoid any further damage to his small bowel lining by the continuing consumption of gluten and also to allow healing of such to progress. The lining of the small bowel is the place where essentially all of our nutrition is absorbed. This is why celiac disease when it is not addressed with a gluten free diet for many years typically results in additional health problems that are tied to nutritional deficiencies. The millions and millions of tiny finger-like projections that make up the nutrient absorbing surface of the small bowel lining are worn down by the constant inflammation from gluten consumption. In celiac disease, the immune system has been tricked into labeling gluten as an invader. As these finger-like projections are worn down, the efficiency of nutrient absorption becomes more and more compromised.

      Thank you so much! And sorry for not responding sooner. I've been scouring the hospital records and can find nothing other than the following results (no lab info provided): Component Transglutaminase IgA   Normal Range: 0 - 15.0 U/mL >250.0 U/mL High   We live in Olympia, WA and I will be calling University of Washington Hospital - Roosevelt in Seattle first thing tomorrow. They seem to be the most knowledgeable about complex endocrine issues like APS 2 (and perhaps the dynamics of how APS 2 and Celiacs can affect each other). His diarrhea has not abated even without eating gluten, but that could be a presentation of either Celiac's or Addison's. So complicated. We don't have a date for endoscopy yet. I will let my husband know about resuming gluten.    Again, thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with me!

      Hi Phosphone, did you ever figure out what elevated your DGP?  I am in the same boat.

      Scott makes a good point about the prednisone. It has a general suppressing effect on the immune system. Don't misunderstand me. In view of your husband's several autoimmune afflictions, it would seem to be an appropriate medication therapy but it will likely invalidate endoscopy/biopsy test results for celiac disease.
