Justin's Candy

I'm pretty snobby about my chocolate. I made the mistake the other night of bring my husband with me to the store, he about dropped dead when he saw the $9.95 price tag on the chocolate bar I wanted and I left without anything. <_< (I'll just go back without him, I don't think he understands how this chocolate thing works.) Anywho, I was trying to track down the newest issue of Living Without and headed to the closest health food store next. At the checkout stand they had a huge display of Justin's peanut butter cups. I grabbed a pack of the dark chocolate ones, read the ingredients and package, shushed my husband about 600 times while he freaked out about $2 peanut butter cups, and threw them on the belt.

I miss candy, I mostly miss peanut butter cups. The chocolate was really good quality, smooth, rich dark chocolate. The peanut butter had a nice salty taste, and really went well with the chocolate. It is organic, points but meh I don't require organic. It is fair trade, which is something that I need from my chocolate. Anyone who loves peanut butter cups but can't stand low quality, waxy crap (or has simply outgrown it as I have) should give these a try. They are positively outstanding!

My husband would balk at the price too, but he would get the chocolate too. He knows life is better with chocolate. (He grew up with 5 sisters!)

My husband is still on the learning curve about chocolate. Whether or not he is enjoying it, his life is better when *I* have chocolate! :lol:

I found this chocolate and it's only $7.50. Save yourself $2.45. Open Original Shared Link

      What you’re describing is actually very common, and unfortunately the timing of the biopsy likely explains the confusion. Yes, it is absolutely possible for the small intestine to heal enough in three months on a strict gluten-free diet to produce a normal or near-normal biopsy, especially when damage was mild to begin with. In contrast, celiac antibodies can stay elevated for many months or even years after gluten removal, so persistently high antibody levels alongside the celiac genes and clear nutrient deficiencies strongly point to celiac disease, even if you don’t feel symptoms. Many people with celiac are asymptomatic but still develop iron and vitamin deficiencies and silent intestinal damage. The lack of immediate symptoms makes it harder emotionally, but it doesn’t mean gluten isn’t harming you. Most specialists would consider this a case of celiac disease with a false-negative biopsy due to early healing rather than “something else,” and staying consistently gluten-free is what protects you long-term—even when your body doesn’t protest right away.

      Yes, I meant if you had celiac disease but went gluten-free before screening, your results would end up false-negative. As @trents mentioned, this can also happen when a total IGA test isn't done.

      I found at Disney springs and Disney they have specialist that when told about dietary restrictions they come and talk to you ,explain cross contamination measures tsken and work with you on choices. Its the one place I dont worry once I've explained I have celiac disease.  Thier gluten free options are awesome.

      Have you tried Pure Encapsulations supplements? This is a brand my doctor recommends for me. I have no issues with this brand.
