Celiac Disease Support Group
Celiac disease is an auto-immune disorder of the digestive system that occurs in genetically-predisposed individuals. It is characterised by damage or flattening to all or part of the villi lining the small intestine, which interferes with the absorption of nutrients. This damage is caused by eating anything with gluten (gliadin), a protein found in wheat, rye, and barley...
I recently added a few mainstream items to my diet, but suspect one might contain gluten in something like a "natural flavor" or an "artificial flavor".
I added 3 Musketeers, tic tacs, walnuts, and Planters dry roasted peanuts.
There are no gluten containing ingredients listed in any of the above. However, note that 3 Musketeers does not label rye or barley and uses flavorings. And while I can find references that it is gluten free, they are are all old references and usually just someone saying they are gluten free-no source. No offense, but I generally don't trust someone who says "must be gluten free because I feel fine after I eat it". I'm more trusting of people who say they checked with the manufacturer, and I can't seem to find anyone saying that about 3 Musketeers.
So-does anyone know for certain (from a reliable website or the manufacturer) that the above are gluten free (well, excepting the walnuts, of course. I suppose they could be coated in wheat to keep them from sticking together, but that'd be weird).
Thanks-really hope someone can help me as I'm feeling pretty ick.

My 6mo twin DD's are EBF and just started rice cereal on the first. Everything has been going fine except this morning one of them had a diaper rash (lots of redness around her anus). I read this as one of the signs of an allergy. BUT I did just buy a different brand diaper yesterday (which they have used randomly before w/no issues). Do you think its the cereal or the diaper? Im ready to start...
I also found Tic Tacs online (gluten free), but not the peanuts.
Does anyone know for sure if some of the mini bars (like the ones you get in big bags for Halloween) use different formulas, so some might not be gluten free whereas the full size ones are? Or is that sort of an "old wives tale"?
I always carry a snickers bar with me just in case I need a snack. Go get yourself one and enjoy!!! :)) They are definitely gluten free.
