Re: GF/cf candy list?? where are you??

[Guest guest]

I don't have a the list but I can tell you what I know.

Starbursts

Skittles

Jolly Rancher candies, lollipops, and jelly beans

Jelly Belly gourmet jelly beans

Charms Blow Pops

Willy Wonka Nerds, Tart n' Tiny's, pixi stix and any of their hard candies

(nothing chewy)

Tropical Source chocolate bars

Marshmallow peeps

Necco candy wafers

I can't think of any more but there are some great companies out there like

the Chocloate Emporium who make special chocolates to go along with the

holidays too. Good Luck

I called Charms Co. and they told me that they were o.k. and sent me list of

their other products that were o.k. as well (2 weeks ago) and I called the

Jelly Belly Co. about a month and a half ago and they said they were all

gluten free and that they were starting to not use milk in any of their jelly

beans as well due to the high sensitivities to it. She named about 4 jelly

beans that did use milk at the time and if I remember correctly they were

choc. pudding, pina colada, hazelnut, and hot chocolate. The rest were fine.

Has this list been verified? The last I checked Charms Blow Pops were not

GFCF due to the gum inside. Same with Jelly Bellys, the last time I

verified, not ALL Jelly Belly gourmet jelly beans were GFCF, only a few.

For this reason, we avoid them altogether.

Sometimes, it takes only a minute amount of gluten or casein to keep a child

from progressing. I have talked with too many parents that are considering

giving up the diet because it is not working, only to find out the child is

not really 100% GFCF. There is a complete candy list on GFCFdiet.com go to

the site map and look under Candy.

Every item that is on that list I verified myself otherwise I would not have

posted it. I called the Charms company about two weeks ago and they said

that the Blow Pops were safe and I called the Jelly Belly Co. about a month

ago and they said at the present time all their jelly beans were free of

gluten and that within the next week they were not shipping out anymore jelly

beans with any milk because of all the allergies that are out there. There

were only a few that even had milk products in them (hazelnut, chocolate

pudding, and one other) all the others are fine.

As far as the list goes I check everything before I even dare put it on this

list because of this kind of reaction. I always verify first.

I spent alot of time with the woman on the phone who was helping me from

jelly belly. She even took my # to call me back and make sure she knew

exactly what she was talking about.

Jelly Belly needs to get the work out to their employees. I was in their

store in Vacaville, CA just 2 weeks ago. The young employees had not clue

what I was talking about. And the Manager seemed to think they all had

gluten. I didn't buy any of course.

Thanks for verifying these! If anyone has a product they verify, it helps

us tremendously if you send an e-mail to Judy DeHart (editor of

GFCFdiet.com.) just to let us know if the food is GFCF or no longer GFCF.

It saves us from having to call and recall food companies that you may have

already just called. It also helps expand the acceptable list of foods for

all parents. Judy's e-mail address is comments@... Thanks!
