I have realized I cannot tolerate soy at all so I'm looking for a gluten free, soy free chocolate. Mostly for baking but every chocolate bar/chocolate chip package i've looked at at the very least has soy lechitin in it. Does anyone know of one? thanks, Beverly

I'm also soy free, so it's been a bit of a bummer trying to find soy free, gluten-free chocolate. The only one I have found is Enjoy Life's chocolate chips. They are also dairy free. They are very good and taste just like the "real thing," but they are only in chocolate chips, but at least I can use them for baking. If you find soy free chocolate bars, let me know!

I've had trouble with soy too, but I can handle organic chocolate bars. I started slowly with the little Bug Bites from my health food store. I have to stick with the plain though. The mint upset my stomach for some reason.

I found Green and Black's Organic chocolate at Walmart yesterday. It was $3.28 for a 3.5 oz bar though. It also states that it is 70% cocoa and I understand that qualifies as healthy. :D

I get 99% Cacao by Scharffen Berger. It is just cocoa beans and vanilla beans. It does say it may contain traces of sugar and soy but haven't had a problem with it.

I eat Green & Blacks as well. The dark chocolate mint bar is awesome.

Hi Ravenwood--where do you buy that chocolate? I've not seen it, and I can't get the Enjoy Life Chips locally. The kitty in your pic is so adorable--I read about how you came upon him in another thread. I love that face--kind of vulnerable and innocent looking! My vote :ph34r: , I hope you end up keeping him. :D

Thanks everyone- I'll see if I can find the Enjoy Life stuff and the Green and Black's (I know I've seen that somewhere locally) and ill let you know if find anything else.

70% cacao definitely qualifies as healthy :D

Ravenwood- You might not keep the kitty? She's SO cute! I'll take her!

I've never seen it "in person". I'd order it online. :-) There are a number of online stores that carry it in the US if you don't want to order it directly. Just google! :-)

The following products from Open Original Shared Link are soy free:

Conacado bar

Chocodrops 73%

hot chocolates (the xcocolatl is amazing)

cacao powder

nibs

syrup

All of their products are gluten-free, but the rest of their chocolate bars and drops have about 0.05% soy lecithin.

Hope this helps :)

      Thoughts? Non-endoscopic Celiac diagnosis in two year old

      By Russ H · Posted

      The anti-endomysial antibody test is an old test that is generally reported as positive or negative - a lab technician looks down a microscope to check for fluorescence of the sample. It is less sensitive but more specific for coeliac disease than IgA tTG2. Hence, it is not "barely positive" - it is positive. People diagnosed in childhood recover much more quickly than adults.  I would look at testing all 1st degree relatives - parents, siblings.

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      What about digestive enzymes that I hear help? I take align 5x probiotics daily.

      thank you RMJ! That is very helpful advice. Good to know we aren’t crazy if we don’t do the endoscopy. We are going to try the gluten free and see how symptoms and levels improve.    thank you Wheatwacked (love the username lol) that is also reassuring. Thankfully she has an amazing and experienced pediatrician. And yesss I forgot to mention the poop! She has the weirdest poop issues.    How long did it take y'all to start seeing improvement in symptoms?

      My son was diagnosed when he was weaned in 1976 after several endoscopies.  Given your two year old's symptoms and your family history and your pediatrition advocating for the dx, I would agree.  Whether an endoscopy is positive or negative is irrelevant.   That may happen even with endoscopy.  Pick your doctors with that in mind. In the end you save the potential trauma of the endoscopy for your baby.   Mine also had really nasty poop.  His doctor started him on Nutramigen Infant because at the time it was the only product that was hypo allergenic and had complete nutrition. The improvement was immediate.

      So her tissue transglutaminase antibody is almost 4x the upper end of the normal range - likely a real result. The other things you can do besides an endoscopy would be: 1.  Genetic testing.  Unfortunately a large proportion of the population has genes permissive for celiac disease, but only a small proportion of those with the genes have it. With family history it is likely she has the genes. 2.  Try a gluten free diet and see if the symptoms go away AND the antibody levels return to normal. (This is what I would do). Endoscopies aren’t always accurate in patients as young as your daughter. Unfortunately, without an endoscopy, some doctor later in her life may question whether she really has celiac disease or not, and you’ll need to be a fierce mama bear to defend the diagnosis! Be sure you have a good written record of her current pediatrician’s diagnosis. Doing a gluten challenge for an endoscopy later in life could cause a very uncomfortable level of symptoms.   Having yourself, your husband and your son tested would be a great idea.
