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.

      GI DX celiac despite neg serology and no biopsy

      By trents · Posted

      If you were off gluten for two months that would have been long enough to invalidate the celiac blood antibody testing. Many people make the same mistake. They experiment with the gluten free diet before seeking formal testing. Once you remove gluten from the diet the antibodies stop being produced and those that are already in circulation begin to be removed and often drop below detectable levels. To pursue valid testing for celiac disease you would need to resume gluten consumption equivalent to the amount found in 4-6 slices of wheat bread daily for at least two weeks, preferably longer. These are the most recent guidelines for the "gluten challenge". Without formal testing there is no way to distinguish between celiac disease and gluten sensitivity since their symptoms overlap. However, celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder that damages the small bowel lining, not true of gluten sensitivity. There is no test available for gluten sensitivity so celiac disease must first be ruled out. By the way, elevated liver enzymes was what led to my celiac diagnosis almost 25 years ago.

      Then it does not seem to me that a gluten-related disorder is at the heart of your problems, unless that is, you have refractory celiac disease. But you did not answer my question about how long you had been eating gluten free before you had the blood antibody test for celiac disease done.

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By Xravith · Posted

      My genetic test results have arrived - I’m homozygous for DQB1*02, meaning I have HLA-DQ2. I’ve read that this is one of the genes most strongly associated with celiac disease, and my symptoms are very clear. I’m relieved that the results finally arrived, as I was getting quite worried since my symptoms have been getting worse. Next step, blood test. What do these results imply? What should I tell my family? I’m concerned that this genetic predisposition might also affect other family members.

      So far 3 months in - worsening symptoms. I have had the worst constipation in my life and I am primarily eating naturally gluten-free foods like potatoes, eggs, salad with homemade dressing, corn tortillas, etc. I hate gluten-free bread and pasta so I don't eat it. Occasionally I eat gluten-free almond flour crackers. As stated in the post, I don't have any vitamin deficiency. I was already tested.
