This part of my life began when my very sick partner was diagnosed with Celiac. Even the slightest exposure to gluten can make him very ill for several days, so I have pursued gluten-free options with thorough aggression. In the U.S. a recent surge of gluten awareness means we have more choices than ever, but it still means hunting and analyzing and tracking down parent companies. After several years now of doing so, I want to share my tricks and tips with others who are still struggling.

Featured Gluten Free Product: Starbust Jelly Beans

GLUTEN FREE FEATURED PRODUCT

A regular postings of gluten-free products that I use myself and are available in my local grocery store.  You can check your local store for these items, order them online, or ask your store to stock them. I do not have any relationship with the companies in question, nor do I receive any form of compensation for these reviews. Gluten-Free status is based on information from the manufacturer, the current Cecelia's Marketplace shopping guide and personal experience, and may change if the company changes formulation or manufacturing processes.



 Easter is coming up, and it is hard to find anything "jelly" or "gummy" that is gluten-free.  Luckily, Starburst jelly beans (all flavors) are safe in the U.S..  My personal favorites are the sours, of course, but they also come in all reds, tropical, and mixed-up flavors.  The ingredients vary by region, so use Wrigley's contact form to ask about specific allergens in products where you live.
