Thanks. I myself only have eczema, haven't tested myself for food or environmental yet. But my son is the one who suffers. He has eczema, and a severe allergy to peanuts/ tree nuts, and high allergy to wheat, gluten, dairy, soy, eggs, corn, pinto beans, tomatoes, potatoes...and a picky eater on top of all that. And highly allergic to cat/dog dander and dust mites. Very hard to find stuff he can eat, or will eat. Hoping to find some support here. ☚

I know it's past Easter but just wanted to make one correction - Tootsie products do have soy and corn.

 

From their FAQ page (http://www.tootsie.com/comp_faq.php):

Which of your products is gluten free?

At this time, all of our confections are gluten free with the exception of Andes cookies. We do not use wheat, barley, rye, oats, triticale, spelt or any of their components and that includes our dusting on our conveyor belts. We do use corn and soy products in the manufacturing of our products.

Yes!  I first found them at TJMaxx, and have also seen them at a natural food store.

  • Gluten-free - manufactured in a gluten-free facility, lab-tested
  • Allergy-friendly - facility free of peanuts, tree nuts, wheat, and eggs
  • Feingold-approved - Honey, Honey-Lemon, and Ginger are Stage 1. Cherry is Stage 2.
