Gluten-Free Candy 2015

As the Holiday Season approaches, people begin to ask me what candy is gluten-free. Every year I go on the search to find gluten-free candy. The process takes weeks and the results are usually very similar to the Celiac Support Association (CSA) list. 

So this year I am using the Celiac Support Assocation list of gluten-free candy. CSA is a great organization and has helped me through my journey. I belong to the O.C.Celiacs: CSA 14 in Orange County, CA and enjoy the friendships I have developed with people who have similar issues to me. 

Thank you to the Celiac Support Association for all the hard work you put in to keep us safe.
