Dairy/gluten Free Chocolate

Hi - Just thinking ahead to Easter...besides gluten, my daughter can't tolerate any amount of dairy. I can find gluten/dairy free chocolate but it's all dark chocolate and she doesn't like the taste of it (she didn't like it before she was gluten/dairy free either). Is there such thing as a gluten/dairy free chocolate that tastes like milk chocolate? Thanks!

Sometimes I make myself a chocolate treat by melting dark chocolate and mixing in thick coconut cream and sugar. Depending on how much coconut cream you use, it will harden in the fridge to be quite hard, or stay mousse- like. Sometimes I mix in almond flakes or raisins, especially the almonds make it taste milder. How sweet it is depends on the chocolate, too, a 72% cocoa chocolate is less sweet than a 42%, since a lot of the difference is the amount of sugar they put in it. If I use the really bitter dark 72% I use more sugar. The taste isn't exactly like milk chocolate but it's quite good, and it melts in the mouth in a nice way. :) I usually just mix it in a bowl and eat straight from the bowl, but you could also pour it into little paper cups or something. Just be careful because they will melt at room temperature.

Hmmm, the Tropical Source I use is dark. I think their rice crisp bars are more mild. Found this online--cf/gluten-free chocolates, and some especially for kids: Open Original Shared Link I've never had this brand myself though...

Dark chocolate is an aquired taste - go for something with a lower percentage of cocoa (and hence, more sugar) to balance the flavor for those who aren't big on the cocoa bitterness. Tropical Source's dark chocolates are actually pretty smooth and mellow for a dark chocolate, and probably worth her time to try. If you have a Trader Joe's nearby, they have a 'milk chocolate' made from rice milk. It's not quite the same, but it is a sufficient substitute. Also, you could make milk chocolate or hot chocolate, using regular cocoa, soy or almond milk, and honey/sugar as needed.

Milk chocolate is a tough one to do without dairy. Enjoy Life makes semi-sweet choc. chips that are both dairy and soy free. I make the best hot chocolate--it is creamy and very milk-chocolaty tasting. I use Vance's Dari Free (potato based non dairy "milk"), one teaspoon of Nestle's unsweetened cocoa powder, and one teaspoon sugar. I mix it all in a mug and microwave for two minutes--stir again and enjoy :)

This is where we are lucky in the Uk - Sainsbury's supermarket do their own dairy free/gluten free 'soya choc.' It's actually very good. I stocked up today :D Maybe I should start a business mailing it to the US!!

Cheri and everybody--I got a response from Beth Cherico at Amanda's Own--she said that their products are gluten, dairy, nut, tree nut, and egg free.

I've been searchnign for a "milk"chocolate for some time as well, BUT without the MILK part!!

I came across ChocoSoy on the internet the other day. I don't know where to order it from, but it looks promising. The other thing I was thinking about doing was to try and make milk chocolate using a soy milk instead...

      Frequent nausea after gluten-free diet

      By petitojou · Posted

      Thank you so much! I saw some tips around the forum to make a food diary and now that I know that the community also struggles with corn, egg and soy, the puzzle pieces came together! Just yesterday I tried eating eggs and yes, he’s guilty and charged. Those there are my 3 combo nausea troublemakers. I’m going to adjust my diet ☺️ Also thank you for the information about MCAS! I’m from South America and little it’s talked about it in here. It’s honestly such a game changer now for treatment and recovery. I know I’m free from SIBO and Candida since I’ve been tested for it, but I’m still going to make a endoscopy to test for H. Pylori and Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE). Thank you again!! Have a blessed weekend 🤍

      Yes, I, too, have osteoporosis from years of malabsorption, too.  Thiamine and magnesium are what keep the calcium in place in the bones.  If one is low in magnesium, boron, selenium, zinc, copper, and other trace minerals, ones bone heath can suffer.  We need more than just calcium and Vitamin D for strong bones.  Riboflavin B 2, Folate B 9 and Pyridoxine B 6 also contribute to bone formation and strength.   Have you had your thyroid checked?  The thyroid is important to bone health as well.  The thyroid uses lots of thiamine, so a poorly functioning thyroid will affect bone heath.

      That sounds so very likely in my case! I will absolutely ask my doctor on my next bone check coming up in March... Thanks a lot!

      Calcium levels as measured in the blood can be quite deceiving as the body will rob calcium from the bones to meet demands for it by other bodily functions. Also, supplementing with calcium can be counterproductive as it tends to raise gut pH and decrease absorption. More often than not, the problem is poor absorption to begin with rather than deficiency of intake amounts in the diet. Calcium needs an acidic environment to be absorbed. This is why so many people on PPIs develop osteoporosis. The PPIs raise gut pH. And some people have high gut PH for other reasons. Low pH equates to a more acidic environment whereas high pH equates to a more basic (less acidic) environment.

      Kind thanks for all this valuable information! Since my Folate was/is low and also my Calcium, there IS a chance I am low in B vitamins... My doctor only measured the first two, oh and Zinc as I has twisted her arm and guess what, that was mega low too. So who knows, until I get myself tested properly, what else I am deficient in... I did a hair mineral test recently and it said to avoid All sources of Calcium. But this is confusing for me as my Ca is so low and I have osteoporosis because of this. It is my Adjusted Ca that is on the higher side and shouldn't be. So am not sure why the mineral test showed high Ca (well, it was medium in the test but relative to my lowish Magnesium, also via hair sample, it was high I was told). But anyway, thanks again for the VitB download, I will look into this most certainly!
