So I've had my "gluten belly" for a few weeks now (not normal) and the only thing i can think of that's different is that i've been eating the reese's peanut butter pumpkins, snack size... I never get sick off the regular pb cups and there's nothing in the ingredients on the PB pumpkins, but i'm just not sure.. Has anyone at these and did they get sick?

Check the Reese's website and there are also lists of "safe gluten-free" Halloween candy out there. I know Reese's are a touchy one, historically. Best to stick with "regular" cups if you eat them.

Unilever has a frozen Reese's peanut butter pumpkin shaped ice cream snack. Not exactly candy but ooooh so good. I'm super sensitive and no reaction! :D In fact maybe I should have one for breakfast.

I hunted down Open Original Shared Link for you. Sadly it looks like the pumpkins aren't safe for us. This sucks because the holiday shapes of Reese's have the best peanut butter to chocolate ratio. Jerks.

This list is not all inclusive, which they explain at the top of the page. Most of the Reese's products are gluten free (normal sizes) but you have to read the labels very carefully. I eat the big Reese's cups, normal cups, Nutrageous and Fast Breaks with no issue. Typically they do tell you to avoid the mini sizes and the holiday shapes however.

I have seen holday shaped Reese's with wheat listed and others without.

Read the labels.

I did review the labels and nothing on there even mentioned any type of gluten item. However, I haven't ate any of these since Thursday and my "gluten belly" is now smaller.. so i'm assuming it was something. I'm not sensitive to "cross contamination" so there must be SOMETHING in these that made me sick.. who knows.. thanks for all your feedback!

I had the same problem a few weeks ago. I also can't identify anything else that was out of the ordinary for me to eat. I double-checked the package, and there was nothing about wheat or any other gluten ingredients. It didn't even have the blanket "processed on shared equipment used with wheat..." disclaimer. After reading your post, I visited their website, which stated that holiday PB cups may not be gluten free. This is really upsetting, because I thought labeling laws required manufacturers to state this on the package. It's not reasonable to expect folks with celiac to look up every single item online before purchasing and eating it!

They do have to disclose wheat on the package. But sometimes a product, particularly a seasonal one, is made in more than one facility, with slight variations in ingredients. In such a case, a generalization can not be made on the web site. Always read the actual label.

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By trents · Posted

      NCGS does not cause damage to the small bowel villi so, if indeed you were not skimping on gluten when you had the antibody blood testing done, it is likely you have celiac disease.

      I will assume you did the gluten challenge properly and were eating a lot of gluten daily for 6-8 weeks before your test, but if not, that could be the issue. You can still have celiac disease with negative blood test results, although it's not as common:  Clinical and genetic profile of patients with seronegative coeliac disease: the natural history and response to gluten-free diet: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5606118/  Seronegative Celiac Disease - A Challenging Case: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9441776/  Enteropathies with villous atrophy but negative coeliac serology in adults: current issues: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34764141/  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.

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By Xravith · Posted

      I'm very confused... My blood test came out negative, I checked all antibodies. I suppose my Total IgA levels are normal (132 mg/dl), so the test should be reliable. Still, I'm not relieved as I can't tolerate even a single biscuit. I need to talk to my doctor about whether a duodenal biopsy is necessary. But it is really possible to have intestinal damage despite having a seronegative results? I have really strong symptoms, and I don't want to keep skipping university lectures or being bedridden at home.

      They may want to also eliminate other possible causes for your symptoms/issues and are doing additional tests.  Here is info about blood tests for celiac disease--if positive an endoscopy where biopsies of your intestinal villi are taken to confirm is the typical follow up.

      New labs are now very elevated

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      In the Europe the new protocol for making a celiac disease diagnosis in children is if their tTg-IgA (tissue transglutaminase IgA) levels are 10 times or above the positive level for celiac disease--and you are above that level. According to the latest research, if the blood test results are at certain high levels that range between 5-10 times the reference range for a positive celiac disease diagnosis, it may not be necessary to confirm the results using an endoscopy/biopsy: Blood Test Alone Can Diagnose Celiac Disease in Most Children and Adults TGA-IgA at or Above Five Times Normal Limit in Kids Indicates Celiac Disease in Nearly All Cases No More Biopsies to Diagnose Celiac Disease in Children! May I ask why you've had so many past tTg-IgA tests done, and many of them seem to have been done 3 times during short time intervals?
