We love the one Nestle makes. It's so delicious! Make it with milk instead of water.

Go to www.nestleusa.com and ask about their hot chocolate--it was gluten-free the last I knew, but you should always ask--all Swiss Miss was--1-877-528-0745--YooHoo oringinal chocolate--Safeway had some that were 1-877-723-3929--just a few--hope I helped some-----I do know that Hershey's Chocolate Syrup is gluten-free, you could always add it to milk and make it hot :rolleyes: --Deb

Nestle Hot Cholate is LABELED "100% gluten-free" No need to call. They are very good about gluten and thier products.

Aslo, you can make your self using pure cocoa pretty easy.... :D

I make my own. I put a tsp. each of sugar and Nestle Pure Cocoa Powder in a cup. Stir in Vance's Dari Free and microwave 2 minutes. Stir well. :D This would work with whatever kind of milk you like.

I use the recipe on the box of Hershey cocoa (only I usually do it with the special dark) and I add cinnamon and vanilla. YUMMMY! :lol:

powdered unsweetened cocoa (I use ghiradelli's most often), soy or almond milk, and agave to taste! :-)

What is Agave btw? I mean I know its honey, but how is it different from these bears of honey I get from Kroger?

My mom says that Almond Breeze chocolate milk tastes really good heated up and it's gluten free. I haven't tried it yet myself, but I plan to.

I was thinking of trying that for Belle Carrie! It tastes like hot chocolate anyways!

I like to use powdered cocoa and sugar in milk... makes the best hot cocoa, but I also called Nestle and got the automated system that confirmed that their Butterfinger Hot Cocoa mix is gluten-free... Haven't tried it yet, but got it for my daughter to try. She loves anything peanut butter...

Actually, it's not honey. Its nectar from the agave plant - the same stuff that's fermented(?)/distilled to make tequilla. It's a bit sweeter than honey (so you need less of it) and the light agave has a milder flavor that makes it better suited to things that don't play well with honey. It also has a lower glycemic index than honey, so it doesn't spike your blood sugar quite as quickly in the same quantitites. It is more expensive, however, so not necessarily worth it for everyone.

I highly recomend Open Original Shared Link hot chocolate. And if you've ever seen the movie Chocolat then you HAVE to try the xchocolatl flavor! The best thing is there is no dairy added!

      Basic metabolic panel results - more flags

      Thank you @trents for letting me know you experience something similar thanks @knitty kitty for your response and resources. I will be following up with my doctor about these results and I’ll read the articles you sent. Thanks - I really appreciate you all.

      My only proof

      You're right, doctors usually only test Vitamin D and B12. Both are really important, but they're not good indicators of deficiencies in the other B vitamins. Our bodies are able to store Vitamin B12 and Vitamin D in the liver for up to a year or longer. The other B vitamins can only be stored for much shorter periods of time. Pyridoxine B 6 can...

      My only proof

      So interesting that you stated you had sub clinical vitamin deficiencies. When I was first diagnosed with celiac disease (silent), the vitamin levels my doctor did test for were mostly within normal range (lower end) with the exception of vitamin D. I believe he tested D, B12, magnesium, and iron. I wondered how it was possible that I had celiac disease...

      Has anyone had terrible TMJ/ Jaw Pain from undiagnosed Celiac?

      Segments of the protein Casein are the same as segments of the protein strands of gluten, the 33-mer segment. The cow's body builds that Casein protein. It doesn't come from wheat. Casein can trigger the same reaction as being exposed to gluten in some people. This is not a dairy allergy (IGE mediated response). It is not lactose intolerance...

      Wheatwacked, what exactly did you intend when you stated that wheat is incorporated into the milk of cows fed wheat? Obviously, the gluten would be broken down by digestion and is too large a molecule anyway to cross the intestinal membrane and get into the bloodstream of the cow. What is it from the wheat that you are saying becomes incorporated into the...

      You're right, doctors usually only test Vitamin D and B12.  Both are really important, but they're not good indicators of deficiencies in the other B vitamins.  Our bodies are able to store Vitamin B12 and Vitamin D in the liver for up to a year or longer.  The other B vitamins can only be stored for much shorter periods of time.  Pyridoxine B 6 can be stored for several months, but the others only a month or two at the longest.  Thiamine stores can be depleted in as little as three days.  There's no correlation between B12 levels and the other B vitamins' levels.  Blood tests can't measure the amount of vitamins stored inside cells where they are used.  There's disagreement as to what optimal vitamin levels are.  The Recommended Daily Allowance is based on the minimum daily amount needed to prevent disease set back in the forties when people ate a totally different diet and gruesome experiments were done on people.  Folate  requirements had to be updated in the nineties after spina bifida increased and synthetic folic acid was mandated to be added to grain products.  Vitamin D requirements have been updated only in the past few years.   Doctors aren't required to take as many hours of nutritional education as in the past.  They're educated in learning institutions funded by pharmaceutical corporations.  Natural substances like vitamins can't be patented, so there's more money to be made prescribing pharmaceuticals than vitamins.   Also, look into the Autoimmune Protocol Diet, developed by Dr. Sarah Ballantyne, a Celiac herself.  Her book The Paleo Approach has been most helpful to me.  You're very welcome.  I'm glad I can help you around some stumbling blocks while on this journey.    Keep me posted on your progress!  Best wishes!

I believe he tested D, B12, magnesium, and iron.  I wondered how it was possible that I had celiac disease without being deficient in everything!  I’m wondering now if I have subclinical vitamin deficiencies as well, because even though I remain gluten free, I struggle with insomnia, low energy, body aches, etc.  It’s truly frustrating when you stay true to the gluten-free diet, yet feel fatigued most days. I’ll definitely try the B-complex, and the Benfotiamine again, and will keep you posted. Thanks once again!
