Does anyone know where to get Hot Chocolate? Swiss Miss can't ABSOLUTELY promise me that their hot chocolate does not have CC. But I love hot cocoa and miss it greatly. Does anyone know a gluten free one that doesn't taste horrible???? I'm DESPRATE.

You might try Almond Breeze. I don't know if you can have dairy or not, but it has no dairy, casein, cholesterol, or gluten. It tastes wonderful and has quite a bit of calcium, vitamin D, and vitamin E. Trader Joe's sells it and so do some mainstream stores. It is in non-refrigerated boxes with the soy and rice milk. I sound like a commercial. but I love this stuff--it is my big treat.

Rather than all the chemicals in a store-mix, I use cocoa power, a sweetener (like sugar - I use agave), and milk (or a milk substitute). There are also a lot of other 'gourmet' pre-made mixes that will be nothing but cocoa powder and sugar. Some also will have powdered milk, but keep looking and reading ingredients - the good ones will only have the obvious ingredients. ;) (I like Dagoba or Ghirardhelli, myself. Ahlaska makes a good one too.)

We've been using Ghirardelli's. I've never called the company but we've been using it for about 3 years and haven't had any trouble with it. The double chocolate flavor (and maybe others too) is dairy free. We make it with almond milk and like it a lot. I'm not sure there are any other dairy free hot chocolates.

Of course ... if you're not dairy free that's not a problem for you, but you can mix it into cow's milk too :)

Hmm... All your ideas sound great! Thanks a lot. My mom knows how to make it with cocoa powder so I'll ask her how to do it. *is clueless* The hersheys chocolate syrup idea is pretty good, though I've heard wierd things about hershey. Thank you all! I'm not dairy free, luckily. I would probably die without my Briers Mint chocolate chip ice cream every few days.

I generally mix the cocoa powder (a heaping tablespoon or so) with a small amount of water to create a slurry (thick liquid), then add hot water or add it to a hot milk substitute, then sweeten to taste.

I make my hot cocoa exactly the same way. Yummy

The absolute best hot chocolate is just take Hershey's chocolate milk and steam it with the steamer that is attached or a lot of coffee machines (or I think you can buy a steamer thing seperate). Add some whipped cream and yum!

I've found gihardelliis and it's great! Not as sweet as I'm used to, but good all the same!

Stephens Gourmet Hot cocoa mix is gluten free. It is the best I've ever had, and I drank it before I was diagnosed. If you buy it at a sams club it is pretty reasonable in cost. I don't know about lactose intolerant folks, so I guess you'd have to try it. Hope that helps.

Nestle hot cocoa says gluten free right on the side of the box. Kids just had some last night!

With mini marshmallows and added a little milk! Yum.

Hi,

i know all too well what you mean by missing gluten free cocoa, i have been searching for it aswell until i found these guys on my facebook. they have a pretty good range of gluten free products and they deliver world wide. im not sure how much the shipping would be but i throught it might be worth looking into your craving

      Does Celiac disease affect blood pressure?

      By trents · Posted

      Malabsorption of vitamins and minerals from celiac disease tends to be global. So, if you are low in one or two things that have been tested, you are likely low in other vitamins and minerals as well. Routinely, we the admins on this forum recommend to those celiacs who were undiagnosed for years to supplement with sublingual B12, a high-potency B-complex, D3 (5000 to 10,000 IU daily), magnesium glycinate (the form of magnesium is important for optimum absorption and also to prevent a laxative effect) and zinc picolinate (the form is important). Please realize that an adult multivitamin is just not strong enough to effectively correct severe and long-standing deficiencies.  Make sure all supplements are gluten free. If you have access to a Costco store, there Kirkland Signature products and Nature Made lines are good choices, good quality, fairly economical and will specify on the label if they are gluten free. Many of them are gluten free.  I'm assuming your doctors have checked your potassium levels since you have been on blood pressure meds. Some of them will leach potassium from the body and potassium is a critical element in cardiac health. Also, many blood pressure meds cause coughing in a significant percentage of people: https://bloodpressureexplained.com/blood-pressure-medications-that-cause-coughing/

      Progesterone pills - are they gluten free??

      By Mettedkny · Posted

      So interesting @Ccoast Celiac that you have experienced the same issue as @MO1984 with the same manufacturer. I don't have any "gut issues" that I can feel, but my bloodwork is out of wack. I have an endo scheduled shortly, and hope there is no sign of damage! Wondering if you have had bloodwork done that shows problems.

      Does Celiac disease affect blood pressure?

      By Dorothy O. · Posted

      Yes I was officially diagnosed as Celiac.  although an older brother almost died because of coeliac disease we were never informed that it was genetic. An orthopod suspected coeliac because of frequent falls and osteoporosis. I also suffered from pneumonia at least once a year often twice a year. All of this stopped after the diagnosis. Three years ago in January, my husband passed away.  Until that time, I had the blood pressure of a teenager.  About two months later, the blood pressure issues began. I had been told that the coeliac disease prevented my body from absorbing calcium and vitamin D. I am wondering if there are other minerals or vitamins that my body lacked. My blood pressure average is in the 170s but drops below 100 frequently.  After three years and numerous medication’s, I have a diagnosis, but I do not respond to any blood pressure medications.

      Welcome to the forum, @Dorothy O.! May we assume you have now been officially diagnosed with celiac disease? You seem to imply this and if so, when did these blood pressure and cough symptoms start to appear?

      After being an undiagnosed celiac for 70 years, I’m now 80 years old and have been experiencing high and low blood pressure extremes along with a severe cough.  Both cardiologist and respirologist are at loss for treatment.  Is it food related to being celiac?
