Hello, I know Valentines day is still a few weeks away, but I was curious if anyone knows of any gluten free boxed chocolates? Thanks!

Russell Stover lists allergens on their labels. You just have to read. They have some pretty good chocolate. Also Hershey's Pot of Gold boxes are good, yet again just have to read labels. Hershey lists the allergens on their labels. Hope that helps!!

Hey Jessica, thanks for your suggestions! The thing is...is that I'm not sure about russell stover and hershey's boxes, but I know a lot of boxed chocolates don't give you a picture showing which chocolates have which fillings, so if one had some gluten containing ingredient, how do you know which ones not to eat!? Are they labeled on those brands, as to which chocolates are which? Thanks again!

I know the pot of gold by hersheys, you can get some that are only one thing like caramel turtles etc. Russell stovers sometimes has a "map" of the chocolates on the inside of the box. Or sometimes just like the pot of gold you can get a box of one thing such as "chocolate covered cherries or caramels" etc.

      What you’re describing is actually very common, and unfortunately the timing of the biopsy likely explains the confusion. Yes, it is absolutely possible for the small intestine to heal enough in three months on a strict gluten-free diet to produce a normal or near-normal biopsy, especially when damage was mild to begin with. In contrast, celiac antibodies can stay elevated for many months or even years after gluten removal, so persistently high antibody levels alongside the celiac genes and clear nutrient deficiencies strongly point to celiac disease, even if you don’t feel symptoms. Many people with celiac are asymptomatic but still develop iron and vitamin deficiencies and silent intestinal damage. The lack of immediate symptoms makes it harder emotionally, but it doesn’t mean gluten isn’t harming you. Most specialists would consider this a case of celiac disease with a false-negative biopsy due to early healing rather than “something else,” and staying consistently gluten-free is what protects you long-term—even when your body doesn’t protest right away.

      Yes, I meant if you had celiac disease but went gluten-free before screening, your results would end up false-negative. As @trents mentioned, this can also happen when a total IGA test isn't done.

      I found at Disney springs and Disney they have specialist that when told about dietary restrictions they come and talk to you ,explain cross contamination measures tsken and work with you on choices. Its the one place I dont worry once I've explained I have celiac disease.  Thier gluten free options are awesome.

      Have you tried Pure Encapsulations supplements? This is a brand my doctor recommends for me. I have no issues with this brand.
