Anyone found good gluten-free/cf chocolate? Also when that labels says "cocoa butter" is that a dairy ingredient?

Thanks for your help!

cocoa butter is not a milk ingredient!

Giant Eagle brand chocolate chips are gluten-free/CF, and nut free too.

Enjoy Life Foods has gluten-free/CF chocolate chips as well.

We buy those and melt them down to make our own goodies!

AWESOME!!!! We so miss chocolate! Do you know if either of those are carried in the grocery store or if they are basically on-line order items.

Thanks so much Michael!

I've found that the milk free chocolate in the stores that I go to usually have "may contain traces of milk ingedients" on the label. I'll have to look and see if the stores in my area carry those products. Thanks.

Is cross contamination as much of a concern with casien as it is with gluten?

Personally, if it says made in the same facility as milk products, I'll still eat it. But, if it says made in the same facility as gluten products, I won't touch it. I don't know if it's the right thing to do.

dark chocolate (by and large) doesn't contain milk. (I think I saw one that did... it was a wacky flavor, and I wouldn't really call it dark chocolate.) many are made on shared lines, of course. most plain chocolate is gluten-free as well, always read the label. my favorites are tropical source, endagered species, dagoba, scharffen-berger, and green&black. (hershey's will always label everything, but I was never a fan of hershey's outside of their symphony bar, and I can't do milk anymore...)

I can get dairy contamination. I have from Lays Stax and Lays Regular chips. Ragu is the only brand that I can tolerate that has "may contain traces of milk ingredients" on the label.

Tropical Source is definitely my fav gluten-free/cf chocolate--dark and rich-yum! It comes in bars and chips.

I got a valentine's box from them and it was so nice to have a box of different flavored truffles to pick from - they were all safe, no worries and yet so decadent.

The Enjoy Life products you shouldn't have to worry about CC.

I buy mine at a local specialty store - not really a health food store but has a lot of health food products. I can't remember if you can order the chips online or not.

      Was a biopsy done when you had your gastroscopy? Concerning your anemia, are you B12 deficient? It's nearly impossible to get sufficient B12 if you are a vegetarian unless you take supplements.

Your posting presents a lot of information. But a couple of things I can respond to. One, celiac disease is diagnosed by endoscopy and biopsy of the duodenum. So, pathology will need to weigh in. It's not diagnosed on gastroscopy. (At least, not as far as I know). Two, did you get blood tests for celiac disease? You will need to be eating gluten in order for those to be accurate. Three, where was the CT angiogram (of what)? I could go on and on, but thought I'd start there.

      Hi, I attended a neurologist appt last Tuesday, which I nearly cancelled, due to ongoing numbness and tingling in toes to mid foot. One of the first things he asked was ‘are you celiac’. I’m not. He thought all reflexes were ok but at the last minute decided on nerve conduction tests which were low normal. He was a little confused as he felt they should be better and tried a new set of probs, all the time, giving me multiple shocks which were not enjoyable lol. Anyway, he’s now ordered tests for myeloma, and all the vitaminy things that so many of you mention on here, also tests looking for autoimmune responses. I already have Hashimotos. Interestingly, to me, but maybe someone out there can relate or knows more than i do, although I was a nurse, but ED not ‘weird symptoms’  nurse. Anyway back to the interesting thing, I took duramine in 2013 to lose weight which caused a massive panic attack when I stopped taking it and half my hair fell out. I only took it for a week but it was horrible and I regret it. It triggered ongoing panic attacks which are horrendous. So I feel like I’m a bit crazy. Then in 2020 I had this sudden onset of horrible pain when trying to eat a cinnamon roll. It continued and I lost around 20 kgs. I had two gastroscopes and a colonoscopy and they were all normal. I scored a barium swallow and CT angiogram. All normal. The pain subsided a little but I was left with reflux and an awful feeling that I couldn’t get air when I ate some foods. This was not anxiety.  The anxiety was separate and I still maintain this. This was something to do with eating. It was like the air was thick but I wasn’t short of breath. I just had the sensation I was, then it triggered anxiety. Anyway, I had other weird things- couldn’t bend knees to shave legs in shower lol. Knees felt stiff and swollen but they weren’t. Knee WOUld swell up randomly but mri showed minimal issues. A bit of a meniscus degeneration but insignificant. Then the buzzing sensations in my head, the feeling like someone was stabbing me with something sharp. So now, I pre empted his tests, although I don’t think I’m celiac because it should have come up on gastroscopy, I’ve gone off gluten. Since Tuesday last week so 9 days. Since then I don’t appear to be as constipated, I realised I got through today without a nap and I’m not tired, maybe it’s just today and not related but I get very tired normally and sleep straight after work often, I can bend my knees and shave my legs lol, the buzzing vibrating has gone from my head, I had to call and ambulance as my heart decided we were off on a run, but we weren’t running and I’ve been a bit twitchy at bed time when trying to sleep, reflux is improving, I did get the weird suffocating feeling a bit when eating today but not as bad normall. Tingling and numbness still present and I felt like it moved up my legs a bit today but I’m a bit jittery. So I don’t know if it’s celiac disease or a gluten intolerance but I think, and it may be wishful thinking because my symptoms do make life a bit challenging, but maybe I’m feeling better. I don’t feel as cloudy. My thinking feels crisper. Like there’s no buzzing and I’m not fighting to break through the cloudiness now. I hope so much that this may help me feel a bit better moving forward. It would be a miracle as I really have struggled to work and parent and keep the house clean and I’m always anxious and exhausted.  If you get this far, please tell me if you you can relate to any of the above. Oh and tonsils out 5 years ago but before that antibiotics multiple times a year, sometimes intramuscular because they were so bad.  Op was meant to take 30 mins, it took 1.5 hours due to size of them.
