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,

      Hi Katht - I sympathize with your struggles in following a gluten-free diet and lifestyle. I found out that I had Celiac Disease a few months before I turned 70. I just turned 89 and it has taken me almost 20 years to attain a fairly normal intestinal function. I also lost a lot of weight, down to 100 lb. down from about 140 lb. What Trents wrote you was...

      Celiac friendly probiotics

      By Florence Lillian · Posted

      In response to your questions regarding probiotics.  I have had Celiac for 40 years.  Stomach issues: digestion, IBS to chronic constipation, bloat after eating anything.  I was unable to eat a healthy variety of foods, tried probiotics supplements - some made me worse, others made no difference.  After reading about people with Crones, IBS, etc, who made their own probiotics I started making Milk Kefir: not water Kefir. There are 10 probiotics in milk KEFIR. After 3 weeks I was able to eat more, no gas, no IBS.  If you have a computer just ask for videos on making milk Kefir. I branched out and make my own Kombucha for even more probiotics. I do not make my yogurt because there are only about four probiotics in that. I started this when I was 82 and I still make my own Kefir and Kombucha. My stomach issues were fixed with the Milk Kefir alone. If you decide to try making it, make certain you order MILK GRAINS. The finished product tastes a bit like Buttermilk. I hope this helps in your journey to good health.

      Hi Katht -  I sympathize with your struggles in following a gluten-free diet and lifestyle. I found out that I had Celiac Disease a few months before I turned 70. I just turned 89 and it has taken me almost 20 years to attain a fairly normal intestinal  function. I also lost a lot of weight, down to 100 lb. down from about 140 lb. What Trents wrote you was very true for me. I am still elimination foods from my diet. One person suggested you keep a food diary and that is a good idea but it is probably best just to do an elimination diet. There are several ne and maybe one for celiacs. I used one for a while and started with plain rice and zucchini and then added back other foods to see if I reacted or not. That helped a great deal but what I did not realise that it would only very small amounts of some foods to cause inflammation in my intestine. Within the last few years I have stopped eating any trace amounts of hot peppers, corn and soy(mostly in supplements) and nuts, (the corn in Tylenol was giving me stomach aches and the nuts were causing foot pains). Starting an elimination diet with white rice is better than brown rice that has some natural toxins. In addition it is very important to drink sufficient plain water. You can find out how much to drink for your height and weight online. I do have difficulty drinking 48 ounces of water but just recently have found an electrolyte supplement that helps me stay well hydrated, Adding the water and electrolytes may reduce muscle cramps and gag spams you wrote about. . Also buy some anti-gluten enzyme capsules to take with meals. I use GliadinX advertised here. These are a lot of things to do at one time as they reflect my 20 years of experience. I hope you do what you can manage to do over time. Good luck and take care.
