Lindt 85% Chocolate Bar

Since going gluten free almost 3 years ago I have relied on Lindt 85% chocolate bars as my go to chocolate (I live in Japan so limited choices). The allergens have always been listed as "may contain: soy, nuts, milk". Not a problem for me. Last night I went to buy some (I stock up!) and I noticed the label looked different. I read it and sure enough, the allergens now read "may contain soy, nuts, milk, sesame and wheat."

 

I have no idea why this has changed. It still says "manufactured in France." The Japanese Lindt homepage still does not list wheat. The UK homepage does list wheat and the US homepage does not!!! I wrote to the company but it was after hours on Friday.

 

Any other Lindt eaters notice a change????

I saw a similar change with Ghirardelli cocoa. Customer service said they had changed where it was manufactured, and it is now made on shared equipment.

Oh wow! That is annoying! I'm my opinion, chocolate should be nowhere near wheat! Do you have Enjoy Life chocolate there? It's free of all major allergens. I believe plain Hersheys is gluten free. I hope you find something...great job reading that label!

I never had problems  with  Meiji dark bars but Lindt in Hawaii usually has  wheat listed. Never  saw ko-mugi on all   except 1 of the meiji products

Lindt in the US usually has barley malt flavoring in it, so I stay away from the brand.  Hopefully it is not a manufacturing process change and you will still be able to get that one.  What country are you in, Japan?

Problem with Japanese chocolates is that I find them "waxy." Maybe soy lecithin? I just ordered some chocolate from the US. Not as convenient as popping in to a store to get some but that may be a good thing.

 

I did notice last week I was extremely exhausted. I took a nap every day. Since I quit the chocolate a few days ago I have been fine! I haven't felt tired or sluggish at all.

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      High fiber can definitely cause sudden GI distress especially if it’s a new addition but accidental gluten exposure can feel similar. Keeping a simple food/symptom log and introducing new gluten-free foods one at a time can really help you spot the pattern. This is really helpful I had not considered sugar alcohols or inulin as triggers. Thanks f...

Thiamax (TTFD) plus a B-complex, and if you want benfotiamine, the Life Extension formula covers that at ~100 mg.

The Life extensions contains Benfotiamine and Thiamine together or im confusing myself. I am trying to see if I take Thiamax what should I take for Benfotiamine. Thanks EDITING after further research I see ones water soluble ones fat soluble. So I guess 100MG as you suggested of Life Extension contains Benfotiamine and Thiamine Hydrochloride. and the Objective Nutrients Thiamax contains TTFD.     would work for me.

      Build muscle back feeling weak?

      By Rogol72 · Posted

      I put on over 12kg by eating protein with every meal, 3 to 5 times a day. Eggs, Chicken, Tuna, Turkey etc. I stay away from too much red meat as it can be inflammatory. Scott is correct. I've come across a bunch of Coeliac PT's on Tiktok and Instagram. They all say the same thing, the key is getting enough protein and consistency.
