But do you KNOW how HARD it is to find gluten AND casien free chocolate that doesn't suck? ;-) Well, silly me. Of course you do.

 

But seriously, does anyone have any recommendations? I have a killer craving for some actual chocolates, with fillings inside!

Enjoy life is dairy free. I think some of the really dark dark dark dark chocolates might be, too.

Possibly include vegan chocolate places in your search.  Then narrow those down to the ones that safely do gluten-free, instead of vice versa.  My heart goes out to you!  Also, if you find a decent chocolate base, making your own truffles can be pretty easy at home.  Of course you may want to do a small batch so you don't eat them all!

I'm buying for myself Dark chocolate dream bars (google for pictures), or making my own.

Chocolate candy

Filling: cherries, fruit from jars, nuts, dry chopped fruit

1 bag of Enjoy life chocolate chips, and

2 sticks of unsalted Fleishman or Earth Balance margarine softened on top of steam (place the pot with the chocolate and margarine in another filled with water. You need just little water -inch, two on the bottom to have steam. Turn on and let it boil. Your chocolate will melt. Mix everything all the time.)

       You also need the smallest paper cups - for mini cupcakes. Take them apart and place them on baking sheet.

When your chocolate is done, replace the hot water with cold and cool it down. Again place one pot in another. Repeat this step many times as you need until your chocolate cools down. Stir it from time to time.

Proximately 15-20 minutes later your chocolate mixture will start to look like pudding. Put one Tbsp. of chocolate in the every paper cup, fill with any filling you desire and cover with chocolate again. Let it set- harden in room temperature for about 1 hour and afterwards put in the fridge. You can take them out the next day and cover the each candy with an aluminum foil. Store in the fridge in air tide container. Enjoy!

      diagnostic testing variance

      But you have already had the genetic testing done and you have results. You have one main celiac gene out of two main celiac genes. You have the HL-DQ8 gene. So, you do have the potential for developing celiac disease.

      oh wow that's so interesting! if I do re-scope, I will try to eat gluten more as well. when I do its super light. so maybe trying to keep that consistent for a while then the scope. plus i want to still do the genetic testing to rule it out. that would be so easy if that is negative then I for sure don't have it.

      Keep us posted about the scoping results. Make sure before the scoping you ask them to take several samples from both the duodenum and the duodenum bulb. Damage can be patchy and is sometimes missed if insufficient sampling is done during the biopsying.

(HLA DQ8) also says value 1 and 3 for HLA DQA1, but idk what that means. Anyway, now they are suggesting repeat scope. sometimes gluten makes...

      Gluten free flours

      I was diagnosed with Celiac disease over 8 years ago. I've managed the gluten-free diet without a lot of problems. My most recent problem is my husband has recently been diagnosed with various food allergies. Some more severe than others. One food that seems to cause the most reaction is potatoes. I love to bake and his potato allergy has thrown...

      I was diagnosed with Celiac disease over 8 years ago. I've managed the gluten-free diet without a lot of problems.  My most recent problem is my husband has recently been diagnosed with various food allergies. Some more severe than others. One food that seems to cause the most reaction is potatoes.  I love to bake and his potato allergy has thrown a monkey wrench in most of the gluten free flours on the market. I have used oat flour in a few things that already have oats in them but I don't like the texture of things that don't use oats. Almond flour is too gritty for my taste. Is there anyone out there that has a brand they like that doesn't contain potato starch?  Both Bob's Red Mill and King Arthur brands have potato starch as well as Pamela's. Krusteaz brand does not but again I'm not crazy about the texture.
