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.

      Lubriderm-gluten-free?

      By Mswena · Posted

      So eight days in a row of gluten on top of gluten on top of gluten, I just had to resort to the EpiPen. I wish I could post a picture because you wouldn’t believe how enormous my gut is! It makes my head look like a pinhead.Ahhhgggsahhhhh!!!! I have discovered that I have to read the ingredients when I use a product up that I’ve been able to use without getting a reaction, because they can change the ingredients and bam my toothpaste now has gluten!!! my doctor told me gluten free means it has 20 ppm which someone with a severe a celiac as I’ve got that thing there kills me. I try to find certified gluten-free in everything. I can’t eat any oats unless it’s Bob’s red mill certified gluten-free. Good luck everybody this autoimmune disease is wicked wicked

      Lubriderm-gluten-free?

      By Mswena · Posted

      I have been using a little bit of Lubriderm when I wash my hands because it’s the lotion offered at a place I frequent once a week. Assuming it was gluten-free I bought a bottle. I couldn’t figure out why I was getting gluten EVERY night. I use a little of the lotion in the morning on my neck, with no reaction, but at night, I use it on my arms and legs and face and get gluten gut pretty bad. After eight nights of having to have diphenhydramine injections for severe gluten, I googled “is Lubriderm gluten-free” and it led me to this forum. I am going to go back to olive oil as I have been gut sick sooooooo bad with a huge gut and pain eight days in a row now. Sick of feeling sick.

      Latent celiac, need to go gluten free, advice on kitchen "reset?"

      These look great!  I follow several people who frequently post gluten-free recipes online (plus they sell their cookbooks). "Gluten Free on a Shoestring" and "Erin's Meaningful Eats>"

      Latent celiac, need to go gluten free, advice on kitchen "reset?"

      By ShariW · Posted

      When I had to go gluten-free, the rest of my family still ate gluten. They still eat regular bread products and crackers, but there are no other gluten-containing foods in the house. I bought a separate toaster that is only used for gluten-free products, and thoroughly cleaned all cookware, dishes and surfaces. We do have to be very careful with cross-contact, for instance when someone else is making a sandwich with wheat bread. Then I went through my cupboards and pantry, I set aside everything else with gluten and gave it away - flour and baking mixes, pasta, etc. So when I cook any recipe that calls for flour (perhaps for thickening) or bread crumbs like Panko, I only use gluten-free. My cupboard now holds gluten-free baking flour, tapioca flour, rice flour, almond flour, gluten-free oats, gluten-free grits, gluten-free cornmeal, and a few gluten-free baking mixes for occasional use. On the odd occasion when we have pasta, it is gluten-free - nobody notices the difference in the "new" lasagna. I have found several good recipes that are gluten-free and everyone loves them. A family favorite is the Tarta de Santiago, a naturally gluten-free treat made with almond flour.
