Dagoba Cacao Powder?

I have had two very bad reactions now to Dagoba cacao powder, and I'm trying to figure out if it's a gluten reaction or if maybe my body doesn't like chocolate these days. (PLEASE NO!) It certainly feels like my standard gluten reaction, though. 

 

The official website for Dagoba states that all products are gluten free, but Jane Anderson's article on about.com about gluten free chocolate states that Dagoba is processed on shared equipment. 

 

Anybody know anything about this? Have you had problems with this brand?

I haven't heard more than you have on that brand.  Since cocoa powder is relatively cheap maybe go buy another gluten free brand and see what happens?

Laura's right.  Try another product.  Or have some gluten-free chocolate.  

 

I will say that the only food that my husband can not eat besides gluten,  is chocolate!  Ugh!  Let's hope this isn't the case for you.

I had already tried the Now Foods brand and had the same reaction, but I think their stuff is made on shared equipment so it may have been a CC issue. Anyway, I'm going to order some dark chocolate bars and try those and see what happens. Man, I hope it's not the chocolate! That will definitely be the last stand!  :angry:

 

Thanks for your input, Laura and Cyclinglady!

I did have problems with that brand.  I tried many brands and couldn't find one that was consistently good.  I did best with Navitas Cocao nibs.  I seem to be sensitive to low levels of cc.

And then do you just grind up the nibs into powder when you need something that requires it?

I think I did.  That was a few years ago.

I just got some cocoa powder from Nuts dot com. It's certified by GFCO. Maybe try that to see if it's the chocolate of the possible cc?

      High DGP-A with normal IGA

      So far 3 months in - worsening symptoms. I have had the worst constipation in my life and I am primarily eating naturally gluten-free foods like potatoes, eggs, salad with homemade dressing, corn tortillas, etc. I hate gluten-free bread and pasta so I don't eat it. Occasionally I eat gluten-free almond flour crackers. As stated in the post, I don't have any vitamin deficiency. I was already tested.

      High DGP-A with normal IGA

      Talk to your  Talk to your provider about testing for vitamin and mineral deficiency.  celiac disease causes malabsorption and eventually malnutrition.  Especially vitamin D. Having the gallbladder removed seems to be a common step on the way to a Celiac Disease Diagnosis,  Gallbladder is a sympton of deficient Choline. Eggs and red meat are the primary source..Choline makes up a majority of the bile salts.  The bile gets thick, doesn't get enough into intestine to digest fats well.  Can eventually back up into gallbladder, cause gallstones.  Without bile, bowel movements can become hard. Try to avoid all processed foods while you are healing, The gluten-free foods are not fortified with vitamins and use various ingredients to mimic fat that bothers many Celiacs.  Choose vegatables with low omega 6.  Optimum omega 6 to omega 3 ratio is less than 3:1.  Wheat flour is 22:1.  Grass fed milk is 1:1.   Commercial Dairies milk is 5:1.  They feed wheat, rye and barley Gluten as part of the food mix.

      Your DGP-G is also high. The thing to do now would be to trial the gluten-free diet for a few months to see if there is improvement in symptoms.
