Alter Eco Chocolate

Hey Guys,

 

This is my first post, but I read your forum all the time. It's been really helpful when I have reactions, so thanks everyone for creating this community :) 

Ii was wondering if anyone reacts to Alter Eco Chocolates? There are a few threads about their grains (quinoa, particularly) which many of you seem to have trouble with. But their chocolate is one of the few soy-free options available to me, so I get a bar every once in a while. This week I've had 2 bars (my goodness!) starting on Monday, and today I'm reacting pretty badly. I was just wondering if anyone else had problems. 

Thanks :)

I have never heard of them. But you have posted 5 times before this. Has someone else gotten a hold of your account?

On their website, all of their chocolate bars' labels state they are made on shared equipment with soy.  Possibly the bars you ate were cross contaminated?   You might contact them and ask about that possibility.   http://www.alterecofoods.com/products/chocolate  I hope you are able to continue to enjoy chocolate occasionally!

I know this conversation is old, but I have definitely been reacting to Alter Eco chocolate bars.  Never again.  (no reactions to other chocolates, dairy, or soy)

Well this is my first time to write on a blog.  I am so unhappy with manufacturers using gluten-free as a way to sell more products.  I ate a contaminated dose of alter eco dark chocolate truffles.  The bag says "Certified Gluten-Free" but I have found several conversation on this website discussing other products sold by this manufacturer that have caused problems for celiac sufferers.  I think it's time this information is combined from the Celiac site and shared with this manufacturers.  This is false advertising and dangerous.

      Does Dailymed.nlm.nih.gov site have filters for gluten?

      By Jenny (AZ via TX) · Posted

      When using daily med to look up prescriptions, is there a way to filter ingredients such as gluten or wheat?  I usually take only a couple of drugs but since I’m having surgery, I have 5 new ones to take for a short time post-op. Thanks!   For non prescription drugs, Walgreens has a line called Free&Pure that has gluten free written on the packaging if anyone is interested.

      Purposefully Glutening Myself?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Dr. Jean Duane published a book on Celiac.com, and although all chapters are worth reading, there are some that cover this perfectly. Here is the link to the 1st chapter: This chapter and others cover this topic well:

      gluten-free stool softener needed for after surgery

      By Jenny (AZ via TX) · Posted

      I called Colace to see what they would say. They cannot guarantee the products are gluten free.  No gluten ingredients but mentioned ingredients from pigs.  I did explain the pig part wasn’t the issue, just gluten.  I had asked about Colace clear as I had read that one was gluten free.

      Gluten found in Bob's Red Mill TVP using Elisa Technology test

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      As I recall Canada created some special rules just for gluten-free oats--not other gluten-free products--right around the time that General Mills launched their gluten-free Cheerios. The move seemed more politically motivated given that other products could be 20 ppm or below, but not oats. Here is an article we wrote at the time:

      Gluten found in Bob's Red Mill TVP using Elisa Technology test

      By trents · Posted

      @Winnie-Ther-Pooh, we are talking about two different standards here. In the U.S, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has set the standard for using "Gluten-Free" in product advertising at less than 20 ppm of gluten. There is another standard, an internationally-recognized one, known as "Certified Gluten-Free" which is stricter, requiring less than 10 ppm of gluten. Certified Gluten-Free products will bear the GFCO logo. But in either case, it is important to understand that there still may be some gluten in the product which, for the super-sensitive subset of the celiac community, may still cause reactions.
