Anyone found good gluten-free/cf chocolate? Also when that labels says "cocoa butter" is that a dairy ingredient?

Thanks for your help!

cocoa butter is not a milk ingredient!

Giant Eagle brand chocolate chips are gluten-free/CF, and nut free too.

Enjoy Life Foods has gluten-free/CF chocolate chips as well.

We buy those and melt them down to make our own goodies!

AWESOME!!!! We so miss chocolate! Do you know if either of those are carried in the grocery store or if they are basically on-line order items.

Thanks so much Michael!

I've found that the milk free chocolate in the stores that I go to usually have "may contain traces of milk ingedients" on the label. I'll have to look and see if the stores in my area carry those products. Thanks.

Is cross contamination as much of a concern with casien as it is with gluten?

Personally, if it says made in the same facility as milk products, I'll still eat it. But, if it says made in the same facility as gluten products, I won't touch it. I don't know if it's the right thing to do.

dark chocolate (by and large) doesn't contain milk. (I think I saw one that did... it was a wacky flavor, and I wouldn't really call it dark chocolate.) many are made on shared lines, of course. most plain chocolate is gluten-free as well, always read the label. my favorites are tropical source, endagered species, dagoba, scharffen-berger, and green&black. (hershey's will always label everything, but I was never a fan of hershey's outside of their symphony bar, and I can't do milk anymore...)

I can get dairy contamination. I have from Lays Stax and Lays Regular chips. Ragu is the only brand that I can tolerate that has "may contain traces of milk ingredients" on the label.

Giant Eagle semi-sweet choco chips are only available at GE stores (midwest chain)

Enjoy Life Foods choco chips are in a lot of stores, but I can't tell you which ones...sorry!

Tropical Source is definitely my fav gluten-free/cf chocolate--dark and rich-yum! It comes in bars and chips.

I got a valentine's box from them and it was so nice to have a box of different flavored truffles to pick from - they were all safe, no worries and yet so decadent.

The Enjoy Life products you shouldn't have to worry about CC.

I buy mine at a local specialty store - not really a health food store but has a lot of health food products. I can't remember if you can order the chips online or not.

      FDA Moves to Improve Gluten Labeling—What It Means for People With Celiac Disease

      My question I have proposed to the FDA through their website is why Prescription and OTC drug manufacturers are not required to list what binding ingredients were used to bine the drug?

      i take b12, folate, b2, b6, glycine, Nac, zinc, vk2 mk4, magnesium, coq10, pqq, tmg, creatine, omega 3, molybdnem (sp) and just started vit d. quite a list i know.  I have high homocysteine (last checked it was 19, but is always high and i finally decided to do something about it) and very low vitamin d, 10. have been opposed to this supp in the past, but going to try it at 5k units a day. having a pth test on friday, which is suspect will be high. my homocysteine has come down to around 9 with 3 weeks of these supplements and expect it to go down further. i also started on estrogen/progesterone. I have osteoporosis too, so that is why the hormones.  anyway, i think all celiacs should have homocysteine checked and treated if needed (easy enough with b vit, tmg). homocysteine very bad thing to be high for a whole host of reasons. all the bad ones, heart attack , stroke, alzi, cancer..... one of the most annoying things about celiacs (and there are so many!) is the weight gain. i guess i stayed thin all those years being undiagnosed because i was under absorbing everything including calories. going gluten-free and the weight gain has been terrible, 30#, but i'm sure a lot more went into that (hip replacement - and years of hip pain leading to inactivity when i was previously very active, probably all related to celiacs, menopause) yada yada. i seemed to lose appetite control, like there was low glp, or leptin or whatever all those hormones are that tell you that you are full and to stop eating. my appetite is immense and i'm never full. i guess decades or more ( i think i have had celiacs since at least my teens - was hospitalized for abdominal pain and diarrhea for which spastic colon was eventually diagnosed and had many episodes of diarrhea/abdominal pain through my 20's. but that symptom seemed to go away and i related it to dairy much more so than gluten. Also my growth was stunted, i'm the only shorty in my family. anyway, decades of malabsorption and maldigestion led to constant hunger, at least thats my theory. then when i started absorbing normally, wham!! FAT!!!

      You may also need to supplement with B12 as this vitamin is also involved in iron assimilation and is often deficient in long-term undiagnosed celiac disease.
