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!

      Celiac disease is the most likely cause, but here are articles about the other possible causes:

      Increased intraepithelial lymphocytes after 10 yrs gluten-free

      By cristiana · Posted

      Hi @Atl222 As @trents points out, there could be many reasons for this biopsy result.  I am interested to know, is your gastroenterologist concerned?  Also, are your blood tests showing steady improvement over the years? I remember when I had my last biopsy, several years after diagnosis, mine came back with with raised lymphocytes but no villous damage, too! In my own case, my consultant wasn't remotely concerned - in fact, he said I might still get this result even if all I ever did was eat nothing but rice and water.   My coeliac blood tests were still steadily improving, albeit slowly, which was reassuring.

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @Atl222! Yes, your increased lymphocytes could be in response to oats or it could possibly be cross contamination from gluten that is getting into your diet from some unexpected source but not enough to damage the villi. And I'm certain that increased lymphocytes can be caused by other things besides celiac disease or gluten/oats exposure. See attachment. But you might try eliminating oats to start with and possibly dairy for a few months and then seek another endoscopy/biopsy to see if there was a reduction in lymphocyte counts.

      Brown Rice Vinegar (organic) from Eden Foods is likely gluten free

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      This is a solid, well-reasoned approach. You’re right that “koji” by itself doesn’t indicate gluten status, and the risk really does come down to which grain is used to culture it. The fact that you directly contacted Eden Foods and received a clear statement that their koji is made from rice only, with no wheat or barley, is meaningful due diligence—especially since Eden has a long-standing reputation for transparency. While the lack of gluten labeling can understandably give pause, manufacturer confirmation like this is often what people rely on for traditionally fermented products. As always, trusting your body after trying it is reasonable, but based on the information you gathered, your conclusion makes sense.
