Celiac Disease: Snickers is gluten-free, Mars is gluten-free…yay!!!


November 8th, 2007

All celiacs like me start to wonder if they can eat this or that everyday. I was CRAVING for a Snickers bar. And I really mean it, it was pretty much like the pregnant’s wishes (lol). Snickers has been with me all my life, it’s my favorite chocolate bar. :P

So I started my research on that before I bought any.(thank god I educated myself on not buying anything that is gluten free anymore - if there’s just 1 small doubt, I just leave the item on the shelf. Much better then getting sick for 2 days!)

My surprise: Snickers is Gluten-Free! And I bought 3 of them just after I read that :P 2 are already gone and no I don’t feel anything. So it’s on my safe list.
By the way, Mars is also safe!

ATTENTION: Only the “Classic” Snickers is Gluten-Free. Don’t buy the other ones (Cruncher, Almond). The Almond one WAS gluten-free. As per its manufacturer, gluten has been added to it. So if you used to eat it and started to feel sick, you’ve just got your answer ;)

Damn - THAT explains it. Stupid manufacturers changing recipes. I had an Almond snickers at lunch yesterday and was sitting here this morning wondering why I felt sick. Went over and over what I had had to eat and couldn’t come up with anything that would have had gluten. Now I know…and knowing is half the battle. ;)
