Gluten-Free & Dairy-Free Candy

Three years ago I spent 6 months compiling a list of gluten-free & dairy-free candy. I called and emailed many manufactures, as well as searching their websites. Today, I am happy to say that there are several wonderful groups out there doing this for us.

Celiac Disease Foundation just posted a 2014 gluten-free candy list.
AvoidingMilkProtein.com has a detailed 2014 diary-free candy list
The GFCF Diet Intervention-Autism Diet has a gluten-free and dairy-free list
BAAAB Bay Area Allergy Advisory Board also has a 2014 Gluten-Free and Casein Free Candy List

2014 Gluten-Free & Dairy-Free Candy Lists

I want to thank all these people who must have spent many hours researching and confirming this information.

Have a safe and wonderful Halloween & Holiday Season!

Interactive Checklist of Symptoms

The Celiac Diseases Foundation has just published a interactive checklist of symptoms for people to complete and take to their doctors.

There are over 300 symptoms related to Celiac Disease and 140 related to Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity. For many it takes years of suffering before they are accurately diagnosed.


As The Celiac Disease Foundation states, "Most people with celiac disease are undiagnosed.This checklist helps you document if you or your child have any of the common symptoms or conditions. Share your checklist responses with your physician to determine if you or your child should have the celiac disease panel blood test."
"This checklist is NOT a self-diagnosis tool. Diagnosis of celiac disease requires a celiac disease panel blood test and an endoscopic biopsy of your small intestine.
You MUST be eating gluten in order for the celiac disease panel test to be accurate as it measures your body’s reaction to gluten. A proper diagnosis can only be made by a physician."

It is time to take charge of your own health.
