Is there some reason that you aren't eating chocolate?? Hershey's bars are safe. Have some chocolate and cure that craving. Enjoy!

Whats wrong with craving chocolate? :D

Not a thing wrong with it!! I satisfy my craving with Dove Dark Chocolate Promises--when I need to, I pop one and let it melt in my mouth ;)

mmmmmm chocolate! I think if you are craving it, you should have it! LOL!

there are some health benefits to chocolate, dark chocolate mostly, but it can be part of a healthy diet!

Give in to the craving and give your body what it wants! Chocolate is GOOOOOOOOOD!

I think Cadbury makes the best chocolate. They have all the Easter candy out now and the Caramellos are the best. I find that if I eat a little bit of what I'm craving then the craving goes away.

I was wondering the same thing...what is with my insatiable craving for chocolate? Before a bag of chocolate could last a year in my house. I could take or leave it, even when I was pregnant. I used to crave salty things. Now I eat a lot of chocolate and am ravenous about it, I scour the house looking for my husband's stash which he tries to hide from me. So what is this craving all about?

Same deal - I crave chocolate like it's my job since I've been gluten free. I was completely ambivalent about it before.

Honestly, I think it's the fat that my body is craving.

My boyfriend tells me I'm nuts, but I also crave vegetables sometimes.

I say, listen to your body!

Me too! Normally, I can't finish a fun size candy bar cause I don't like it. Now I want chocolate all the time...

I don't get it! :P

maybe because we're deprived of so many things now that chocolate is one of the foods we know are "safe" I'm not much of a candy person, give me a large bacon cheeseburger sub anyday..but thats out, so I find I'm eating more sweets.

i'd give my left arm for a sub from the local pizza place..everyday I say I'm gonna get one, then I think about the pain, pout and eat more chicken lol

My doctor told me once that sometimes craving chocolate can mean you need more magnesium...I was pregnant then...I guess chocolate can be a good source of magnesium

I've always loved chocolate!!!!!!! I all of a sudden can't eat enough fudge! And before that wasn't really my thing, a little too rich, but now I can't make enough of it! Besides, chocolate releases endorphines in your brain to make you feel like your in love or happy......maybe with all the stuff we deal with, our brains are saying LIGHTEN UP!!!!! Eat Chocolate!!!!! :D

Oh yeah-has anyone tried the Lara Bar-Chocolate Mole? A little spicy chili pepper with the chocolate!!!! Ohhhh, it's so good!!!!!

      Hello, My 17 yr old daughter was diagnosed with celiac disease 2 yrs ago. She does not have gum disease and no history of cavities. Her dentist is recommending braces for her lower teeth but I read it may worsen gum recession or possibly increase cavity risk which I know are already issues for patients with celiac. Has anyone here had braces and did it cause any problems or issues with gum recession?  Her dentist seemed oblivious that celiac patients are at higher risk of gum disease /cavities. Her bottom teeth are crooked but are pretty hidden even when she smiles. Thank you!!

      This is a common experience across the board with various brands of gluten-free bread products. Prices go up, size goes down. Removal of the egg component may be for the purpose of cost-cutting related to bird flu supply shortages or it may be catering to those with egg allergy/sensitivity, fairly common in the celiac community.

      Living with Coeliac Disease since birth, Bread has always been an issue, never too nice, small slices and always overpriced, But Sainsbury's Free From White Sliced Bread seemed to me to be an exception with it's large uniform 12 x 12cm slices that had the bounce, texture and taste of white bread even after toasting with no issue that it was also Milk Free. Unfortunately Sainsbury's have changed the recipe and have made it 'Egg Free' too and it has lost everything that made the original loaf so unique. Now the loaf is unevenly risen with 8 x 8cm slices at best, having lost it's bounce with the texture dense and cake like after toasting resembling nothing like White Bread anymore. Unsure as to why they have had to make it 'Egg Free' as the price is the same at £1.90 a loaf. Anyone else experiencing the same issue with it? - also any recommendations for White Bread that isn't prescription? / Tesco's / Asda's are ok but Sainsbury's was superior.

      Years  ago a friend and I drove north into Canada hoping to find a ski resort open in late spring,We were in my VW and found a small ski area near a small town and started up this gravelled road up a mountain. We  got about halfway up and got stuck in the mud. We tried everything we could think of but an hour later we were still stuck. Finally a pickup came down the road, laughed at our situation, then pulled the VW free of the mud. We followed him back to the ski area where where he started up the rope ski lift and we had an enjoyable hour of skiing and gave us a shot of aquavit  before we left.It was a great rescue.  In some ways this reminds me of your situation. You are waiting for a rescue and you have chosen medical practitioners to do it now or as soon as possible. As you have found out the med. experts have not learned how to help you. You face years of continuing to feel horrible, frustrated searching for your rescuer to save you. You can break away from from this pattern of thinking and you have begun breaking  away by using some herbs and supplements from doTerra. Now you can start trying some of the suggestions thatother Celiacs have written to your original posts.  You live with other people who eat gluten foods. Cross contamination is very possible. Are you sure that their food is completely separate from their food. It  is not only the gluten grains you need to avoid (wheat, barley, rye) but possibly oats, cows milk also. Whenever you fall back into that angry and frustrated way of thinking get up and walk around for a whild. You will learn ways to break that way of thinking about your problems.  Best wishes for your future. May you enjpy a better life.

      Thanks for responding. I researched further and Lindt Lindor chocolate balls do contain barely malt powder which contains gluten. I was surprised at all of the conflicting information I found when I checked online.
