No, Please, Not Chocolate!

I love bittersweet chocolate that has no dairy or wheat in it. Its usually the stuff that indicates the percentage of chocolate in the bar like 70% or more *drool*. But I seem to always react to it with an odd feeling in the tum and a bit of diarrhea the next day. Could my body play so fouly with me by denying me chocolate? Anyone else have an issue with chocolate?

if you have trouble with soy, that may be the culprit. there are a handful of soy free chocolates out there, by specialty makers. I don't know them, but a couple other people on the board do.

I tried enjoy life's chocolate kisses that is gluten-free, dairy-free, casein free, soy free, egg free, nut free and still reacted to the chocolate. So my guess is that I am intolerant to chocolate or maybe cocoa- sad but true. Maybe your is a soy intolrance, try enjoy life's chocolate kisses- i got them from Mrs. Greens.

Which brand of chocolate are you eating?

I've tried several. Some from Trader Joe's. They're made from regional cocoa beans from Ecuador and another country. Sort of fancy, schmancy chocolate. I don't believe there was any soy listed on the label, but I'll have to go back and look. I don't react badly to soy sauce (without the gluten), so I have a feeling it probably is the chocolate. Life is cruel! Cruel, I say!

      Hello, @NCalvo822, Blood tests for Celiac Disease test for antibodies our bodies make in response to gluten exposure. These Tg IgA 2 antibodies mistakenly attack our own bodies, causing problems in organs and tissues other than just the digestive tract. Joints can ache, thyroid problems or the pancreas can develop. Ataxia is just one of over two hundred...

      symptoms.

      @Rebeccaj, When you smell toast or pasta cooking, that means that particles of that food are floating around in the air. Airborne gluten can then be inhaled and swallowed, meaning the food particles get into your digestive tract. If you're careful to avoid gluten and are still having symptoms, those symptoms could be caused by vitamin deficiencies...

      Lymphocytic Colitis with Celiac

      Do discuss this recent article with your doctors. Thiamine Vitamin B 1 is important to intestinal health. Thiamine deficiency can occur in Celiac Disease due to malabsorption.

      Finding gluten free ingredients

      Do keep in mind that most gluten free flours are not enriched nor fortified with vitamins and minerals like gluten containing flours are required to do. Consuming a diet high in carbohydrates without sufficient B vitamins to digest and process them into energy can lead to High Calorie Malnutrition and weight gain. Deficiency symptoms of B vitamins...

      Hello, @NCalvo822, Blood tests for Celiac Disease test for antibodies our bodies make in response to gluten exposure.  These Tg IgA 2 antibodies mistakenly attack our own bodies, causing problems in organs and tissues other than just the digestive tract.  Joints can ache, thyroid problems or the pancreas can develop.  Ataxia is just one of over two hundred symptoms of Celiac Disease. Some people with Celiac Disease also make tTg IgA 6 antibodies in response to gluten exposure.  The tTg IgA 6 antibodies attack the brain, causing ataxia.  These tTg IgA 6 antibodies are also found in people with Parkinson's disease, though they may not have Celiac Disease.  First degree relatives (parents, siblings, children) of those diagnosed with Celiac should be tested as well.  Celiac is genetic.  Your mom and sister should be tested for Celiac, too!   Definitely a good idea to keep to a gluten free diet.

Deficiency symptoms of B vitamins resemble gastrointestinal symptoms when after eating gluten.  Gastrointestinal Beriberi is a form of Thiamine deficiency.   Do talk to your doctors about supplementing with essential nutrients while on the gluten free diet, especially if you're consuming processed foods.
