Lindt Chocolate

I know, that the milk chocolate and the milk chocolate with whole hazelnuts from Lindt are glutenfree. I am very sensitive to gluten and usually know it right away. Even more so now, that I'm pregnant. I never had a reaction to those two. Not in the States and not in Germany. I don't know about their other stuff though. And I don't like dark chocolate, so I can't tell you guys anything about that one either. Apparently there are a lot of people on here, that like dark chocolate. Wow! I never would have figured... :P

Hugs, Stef

I know this is an old thread and I'm not new to celiac, I am new to this forum and site. In case anyone is still unsure, I found this about Lindt chocolates from their site:

" Is there gluten or barley malt in Lindt chocolate?

Unfortunately, at this time we cannot guarantee that Lindt chocolate is gluten free. Our white and extra dark (70% cocoa and above) chocolate products by nature do not contain barley malt. However, because they run on the same production lines as other products there is a chance of cross contamination. Lindt is aware of the growing prevalence of Celiac's Disease and other conditions. We are sensitive to the fact that these large groups of consumers are unable to enjoy our chocolate at this time. We hope in the future to be able to accommodate the needs of all our consumers and offer options to satisfy varying dietary requirements. "

I've found that the Choceur brand at Aldi's is pretty good. I have not had any reaction to the dark chocolate at all (and I'm pretty sensitive). There is no warning about wheat on the allergen list and I've noticed most of the Aldi foods do list wheat if there is possibility of cross contamination.

I don't eat milk chocolate (too much sugar) so I haven't tried that one. But the dark chocolates are awesome! I also bought some of their unsweetened baking chocolate chips. I haven't tried them yet, but there's only one ingredient listed.

They do make some chocolate bars that the label says there may be cross contaimination with wheat etc. so read carefully. I think they must have a few different facilities.

I haven't had any Lindt since I went gluten free and learned they use barley as a sweetener. Shame, I like Lindt.

Beware any sugar free chocolates that are touting to be gluten free but are made with maltodextrin from wheat! I had a small piece, because the company swore up down left right and centre that it won't have an effect on Celiacs. pffffffffffffffft. I was writhing in pain in less than an hour! Not nice.

I looked at all the Lindt bars today when I was shopping. Every one of them I saw had barley malt on the label. I was very disappointed. I love Lindt. No Godiva either huh? That really sucks.

When I was still unable to tolerate soy lecithin (never soy) I was able to eat Lindt 70% plus dark chocolate without problem. But I am not a super sensitive.

I eat Lindt dark and have never had a CC reaction. Is it extreme to avoid things like that? I never really think about production lines etc.
When companies say that, the odds are low and they're just covering their a$$es right? Or should I really be only consuming things made in gluten free environments?! :o

The "Made in the same facility" I think is just fine.  "Made on the same line" is worth more consideration.

Mmm. Thanks. Surely they at least wash it down or something... But I might steer clear from now on.
Seem to get insomnia from dark chocolate, too. Not coffee. But even 2 squares of dark chocolate rather than 1 and sleep goes out the window. Useful when it needs to! But a bummer other times because it's sooooo tasty :) .

      Nausea

      I have trouble with nausea. It often starts when I’m anxious about something (home repairs, sick dog) but continues long after the home is repaired or the dog is healthy again. When it happens I eat less and lose weight. My gastroenterologist suggested ginger or peppermint tea. I don’t know if that will work or not because I haven't had the problem since she...

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      Of course my son is on a 100% gluten free diet. I wish his symptoms were not debilitating as there are right now. He cannot work, even when a miniscule of cross contamination occurs. It's not just GI distress, but intense fatigue, brain fog, depression, anxiety, insomnia, etc. It's literally neurological inflammation. Not to be taken lightly here. We...

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      Have you tried AN-PEP enzymes, for example, GlutenX (who is a sponsor here)? A lot of research has shown that it can break down small amounts of gluten in the stomach, before it reaches the intestines. It might be a better approach than risking nicotine addiction, and the questionable research around this. I also hope that he’s trying to be 100% Gluten-F...

      Nausea

      Hi all I was diagnosed Coeliac a few years ago and follow a gluten free diet. The list of foods that I can eat without a problem grows shorter on a weekly basis. [I also have diabetes and asthma also]. BUT the reason I am posting this is because I seem to struggle with nausea quite a lot, which is really quite debilitating, and I was wondering...

I don't know if it's from the lactose in the yogurt or if I'm getting an ulcer  This condition can make you question yourself quite a bit.  Then if you are not sure the anxiety comes 😞 Does any of these symptoms sound familiar to anyone? The neuropathy is quite intense.  What do you eat or drink after this happens  Open to suggestions  Thank you
