Does anyone know if Godiva Chocolate Liqueur is gluten-free? I just bought some thinking it was and now I am finding mixed reports, plus can't get a response from the makers of it. Does anyone know?

Thanks!

I got a response a LONG time ago (so I don't have it to post) but basically non of their chocolate was gluten-free. They wouldn't say why (some big secret, Barley Malt I think) but that was their candies. I am not sure about the liqueur, but I would avoid it if it were me.....

      This is likely made with Codex quality wheat starch which has been used in Europe in gluten-free products for decades, but is relatively new in the USA (after recent changes to labeling laws here). If labeled gluten-free it must be under 20 ppm, and is safe for most celiacs, but some report reactions to it.  We have a category of articles dedicated to this if you're interested in learning more...they go back to the mid-1990's: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/miscellaneous-information-on-celiac-disease/gluten-free-diet-celiac-disease-amp-codex-alimentarius-wheat-starch/

      Here is more info about how to do a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood panel, or for an endoscopy: and this recent study recommends 4-6 slices of wheat bread per day:

      This is a typical CYA label, probably pushed by their attorneys, and it could be in conflict with their gluten-free certification. Hopefully they take additional precautions to prevent such cross-contamination.

      It’s completely understandable to be concerned about your daughter’s reaction to iron supplements—bowel changes like frequent, dark stools are a common side effect of iron therapy. The black color is usually harmless and caused by unabsorbed iron interacting with gut bacteria, but the increased frequency can be uncomfortable. Many people do adjust over time as their body gets used to the supplement, but if it’s causing distress, there are a few things you could try. First, you might ask her doctor if switching to a buffered or slow-release iron formulation (like ferrous gluconate) could be gentler on her stomach. Taking the supplement with food (though this may reduce absorption slightly) or splitting the dose throughout the day might also help. Additionally, ensuring she stays hydrated and eats fiber-rich foods could ease bowel movements. Since you mentioned B12, it’s worth checking her levels if they weren’t part of the initial tests, as B12 deficiency can also contribute to anemia and may need separate treatment. If symptoms persist or worsen, definitely loop back with her pediatrician—they may adjust the dosage or explore other options. Hang in there; iron supplementation can be tricky, but it’s great you’re being so proactive!

      Sodium feredetate 27.5mg - don’t know if it’s buffered… I can’t recall her b12 levels. Any suggestions as to what I can do?
