Lindt Chocolate

I know, that the milk chocolate and the milk chocolate with whole hazelnuts from Lindt are glutenfree. I am very sensitive to gluten and usually know it right away. Even more so now, that I'm pregnant. I never had a reaction to those two. Not in the States and not in Germany. I don't know about their other stuff though. And I don't like dark chocolate, so I can't tell you guys anything about that one either. Apparently there are a lot of people on here, that like dark chocolate. Wow! I never would have figured... :P

Hugs, Stef

I know this is an old thread and I'm not new to celiac, I am new to this forum and site. In case anyone is still unsure, I found this about Lindt chocolates from their site:

" Is there gluten or barley malt in Lindt chocolate?

Unfortunately, at this time we cannot guarantee that Lindt chocolate is gluten free. Our white and extra dark (70% cocoa and above) chocolate products by nature do not contain barley malt. However, because they run on the same production lines as other products there is a chance of cross contamination. Lindt is aware of the growing prevalence of Celiac's Disease and other conditions. We are sensitive to the fact that these large groups of consumers are unable to enjoy our chocolate at this time. We hope in the future to be able to accommodate the needs of all our consumers and offer options to satisfy varying dietary requirements. "

I've found that the Choceur brand at Aldi's is pretty good. I have not had any reaction to the dark chocolate at all (and I'm pretty sensitive). There is no warning about wheat on the allergen list and I've noticed most of the Aldi foods do list wheat if there is possibility of cross contamination.

I don't eat milk chocolate (too much sugar) so I haven't tried that one. But the dark chocolates are awesome! I also bought some of their unsweetened baking chocolate chips. I haven't tried them yet, but there's only one ingredient listed.

They do make some chocolate bars that the label says there may be cross contaimination with wheat etc. so read carefully. I think they must have a few different facilities.

I haven't had any Lindt since I went gluten free and learned they use barley as a sweetener. Shame, I like Lindt.

Beware any sugar free chocolates that are touting to be gluten free but are made with maltodextrin from wheat! I had a small piece, because the company swore up down left right and centre that it won't have an effect on Celiacs. pffffffffffffffft. I was writhing in pain in less than an hour! Not nice.

I looked at all the Lindt bars today when I was shopping. Every one of them I saw had barley malt on the label. I was very disappointed. I love Lindt. No Godiva either huh? That really sucks.

When I was still unable to tolerate soy lecithin (never soy) I was able to eat Lindt 70% plus dark chocolate without problem. But I am not a super sensitive.

I eat Lindt dark and have never had a CC reaction. Is it extreme to avoid things like that? I never really think about production lines etc.
When companies say that, the odds are low and they're just covering their a$$es right? Or should I really be only consuming things made in gluten free environments?! :o

The "Made in the same facility" I think is just fine.  "Made on the same line" is worth more consideration.

Mmm. Thanks. Surely they at least wash it down or something... But I might steer clear from now on.
Seem to get insomnia from dark chocolate, too. Not coffee. But even 2 squares of dark chocolate rather than 1 and sleep goes out the window. Useful when it needs to! But a bummer other times because it's sooooo tasty :) .

      Welcome to the forum, @SuzanneL! Which tTG was that? tTG-IGA? tTG-IGG? Were there other celiac antibody tests run from that blood draw? Was total IGA measured? By some chance were you already cutting back on gluten by the time the blood draw was taken or just not eating much? For the celiac antibody tests to be accurate a person needs to be eating about 10g of gluten daily which is about 4-6 pieces of bread.

      I've recently received a weak positive tTG, 6. For about six years, I've been sick almost everyday. I was told it was just my IBS. I have constant nausea. Sometimes after I eat, I have sharp, upper pain in my abdomen. I sometimes feel or vomit (bile) after eating. The doctor wanted me to try a stronger anti acid before doing an endoscopy. I'm just curious if these symptoms are pointing towards Celiac Disease?

      I'm sorry to hear about what you're going through. It must be really frustrating and uncomfortable. Have you talked to your healthcare provider about these sudden sweating episodes? It might be helpful to discuss this with them to rule out any other underlying issues or to see if there are specific strategies or treatments that can help manage this symptom. Additionally, staying hydrated and wearing breathable clothing may provide some relief.

      I am not sure where you are going, but we have articles in this section which may be helpful: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/gluten-free-travel/

      There are supplements available that can help breakdown minor amounts of gluten such as you might experience with cross contamination when dining out and you order gluten free items from a menu. But they will not help when larger amounts of gluten are consumed. One such product that many on this forum attest to as having helped them in this regard is GliadinX. The inventor of GlidinX is one our forum sponsors so you should know that.
