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

      Thanks very interesting I have to see if I should take these 2 vitamins along with my multi and super Vit B complex or if its too much or would hurt me. I don't have any other health issues but would love to see if this improves anything especially to feel stronger build muscle.

      There are other Celiac genes. HLA DQ 2 and HLA DQ 8 show up in people from Northern European descent.   People of Mediterranean descent have HLA DQ 7.  People of Asian descent have HLA DQ 9.   There's other Indigenous populations that have other HLA genes that code for Celiac disease.   Are you still having symptoms?   What do you include in your diet?  Are you vegetarian? Are you taking any prescription medication?  Omeprazole?  Metformin?   Do you have anemia?  Thyroid problems? Are you taking any vitamins or herbal supplements?

      There are eight essential B vitamins.  They are all water soluble.  Any excess of B vitamins is easily excreted by the kidneys.   Thiamine is Vitamin B 1.  Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  Benfotiamine and TTFD are forms of Thiamine that the body can utilize very easily.   The form of Thiamine in the supplements you mentioned is Thiamine Mononitrate, a form that the body does not absorb well and does not utilize well.  Only about thirty percent of the amount on the label is actually absorbed in the small intestine.  Less than that can actually be used by the body.  Manufacturers add thiamine mononitrate to their products because it's cheap and shelf-stable.  Thiamine and other B vitamins break down when exposed to light and heat and over time.  Thiamine Mononitrate is a form that does not break down over time sitting on a shelf waiting for someone to buy them.  What makes Thiamine Mononitrate shelf stable makes it difficult for the body to turn into a useable form.  In fact, it takes more thiamine to turn it into a useable form.   Gastrointestinal Beriberi is a localized shortage of Thiamine in the gastrointestinal tract.  High carbohydrate meals can result in gastrointestinal symptoms of Gastric Beriberi.  Fiber is a type of carbohydrate.  So, high fiber/carbohydrate snacks could trigger Gastric Beriberi.   Since blood tests for Thiamine and other B vitamins are so inaccurate, the World Health Organization recommends trying Thiamine and looking for health improvement because it's safe and nontoxic.
