Celiac.com 04/06/2023 - We get a lot of questions from celiac community members wondering if certain brands and products are gluten-free. One question we see a lot is about baking chocolate.

Lately we've seen a lot of people asking what brands of melting chocolate are gluten-free and safe for people with celiac disease? Here's the rundown.

Celiac.com Sponsor (A12):
Melting and baking chocolate are often gluten-free, but can sometimes contain gluten ingredients. Some kinds of baking chocolate may contain barley, wheat or other gluten ingredients, and so are not gluten-free.

The Top 16 Gluten-Free Candy Bars
Celiac.com 04/21/2020 (Updated on 03/05/2021) - We've had more than a few requests for a handy list of top candy bars that are gluten-free. Note that although some of these bars do not use "gluten-free" on their labels, they do list all ingredients and disclose whether they contain any of the top 8 allergens. If you're a candy bar lover looking for a reliable source of gluten-free candy bars, it's always best to look for bars that specifically marked "gluten-free," however, many of the bars in this list have been consumed for years by celiacs without issues, and don't contain any gluten ingredients. These major brands of candy bars are widely available, are gluten-free by ingredient and allergen disclosures, and deliver good bang for the buck.

  How to keep water down?
  
  Get someone to take you to the local ER and get some IV fluids on board. You already are or are at risk for serious dehydration. If you have no one who can transport you or you are too weak to make the trip in a car, call 911.

  How to keep water down?
  
  Hi, I don't know if this is the right topic, but I've been glutened and I'm having a horrible time trying to keep even a sip of water -or any liquid- down. I've gotten to the point of which I'm having dry-heaving episodes because there's nothing left to vomit, and it's incredibly painful and I'm so weak and lightheaded as a result. If I try even taking the...

  Working in a kitchen with gluten?
  
  Hi yes! I was diagnosed 10 years ago through a biopsy. I’ve been gluten free ever since but no one I’m around is gluten free. I sometimes wore a surgical mask in the kitchen. but I believe particles were still getting through. I’ll definitely look into n95 instead. thanks for the reply.

I am happy to report that for the first time ever in my life, a probiotic formula is not making me break out, but actually seems to be helping. The strains in this formula have been specifically tested to help with skin issues. It...

  @Whyz, I take a combination of Thiamin (Benfotiamin), B12 Cobalamine and Pyridoxine B6 for my pain and headaches. Really works well without hurting the digestive tract. Riboflavin B2 also helps with migraines. Most newly diagnosed people have vitamin and mineral deficiencies. Check with your doctor and nutritionist. If you follow the updated...
