I use cocoa powder, a milk sub, and a sweetener to make my hot chocolate as well. I don't know about UK brands (though I believe cadbury's is a "will clearly mark on the label" company), but it's usually safe. try calling the company today to double check.

Not sure............I didn't realize you were from the UK. You might check around, never know you might find it. :)

Don't think that Cadbury's is okay.

What about Green and Blacks Organic Open Original Shared Link

Can you get Nestle's? I use a milk substitute (Vance's), sugar and Nestle's Pure Cocoa Powder.

What about Fry's? That's gluten-free. Not sure if it's available in the UK, though.

Is Almond Breeze available in the UK? If so, it's delicious heated up with a few drops of peppermint extract in it.

Good idea with the peppermint. I should try that sometime in my chocolate Silk. I don't know if they have that in the UK either--but Silk's chocolate soy milk is delicious--says cf/gluten-free right on container too.

It turns out that some cans of Fry's Cocoa may have traces of wheat. There is (or has been) more than one facility that produces this, and at least one of them may have issues of cross-contamination. (I just posted a new topic about this entitled 'Fry's Cocoa' - Jan 9, 2009).

      Increased intraepithelial lymphocytes after 10 yrs gluten-free

      Increased intraepithelial lymphocytes after 10 yrs gluten-free

      By trents · Posted

      Cristiana, that sounds like a great approach and I will be looking forward to the results. I am in the same boat as you. I don't experience overt symptoms with minor, cross contamination level exposures so I sometimes will indulge in those "processed on equipment that also processes wheat . . ." or items that don't specifically claim to be gluten free but do not list gluten containing grains in their ingredient list. But I always wonder if I am still experiencing sub acute inflammatory reactions. I haven't had any celiac antibody blood work done since my diagnosis almost 25 years ago so I don't really have any data to go by.

      Increased intraepithelial lymphocytes after 10 yrs gluten-free

      I've been reflecting on this further. The lowest TTG I've ever managed was 4.5 (normal lab reading under 10).  Since then it has gone up to 10.   I am not happy with that.  I can only explain this by the fact that I am eating out more these days and that's where I'm being 'glutened', but such small amounts that I only occasionally react. I know some of it is also to do with eating products labelled 'may contain gluten' by mistake - which in the UK means it probably does! It stands to reason that as I am a coeliac any trace of gluten will cause a response in the gut.  My villi are healed and look healthy, but those lymphocytes are present because of the occasional trace amounts of gluten sneaking into my diet.   I am going to try not to eat out now until my next blood test in the autumn and read labels properly to avoid the may contain gluten products, and will then report back to see if it has helped!

      Low iron and vitamin d

      By lizzie42 · Posted

      Hi, I posted before about my son's legs shaking after gluten. I did end up starting him on vit b and happily he actually started sleeping better and longer.  Back to my 4 year old. She had gone back to meltdowns, early wakes, and exhaustion. We tested everything again and her ferritin was lowish again (16) and vit d was low. After a couple weeks on supplements she is cheerful, sleeping better and looks better. The red rimmed eyes and dark circles are much better.   AND her Ttg was a 3!!!!!! So, we are crushing the gluten-free diet which is great. But WHY are her iron and vit d low if she's not getting any gluten????  She's on 30mg of iron per day and also a multivitamin and vit d supplement (per her dr). That helped her feel better quickly. But will she need supplements her whole life?? Or is there some other reason she's not absorbing iron? We eat very healthy with minimal processed food. Beef maybe 1x per week but plenty of other protein including eggs daily.  She also says her tummy hurts every single morning. That was before the iron (do not likely a side effect). Is that common with celiac?

      Celiac disease is the most likely cause, but here are articles about the other possible causes:
