Just curious - have any of you melted those store-bought chocolate chips (I think they are Enjoy-Life or Ener-G...I can't remember the brand) that are gluten-free and df into shapes? Before I waste any product, I wanted to see if there were already success stores. Thanks!

you mean like making candy? like pouring the chocolate into molds? i'm sure it would work. i made the enjoy life chips into mexican chocolate bark the other day, and while i didn't make shapes out of it, melting it then refrigerating it worked out great. it's good stuff :)

Yes, you can do them in molds. I've made both plain and filled.

I've melted them and put them into molds before, too. I add a little bit of oil to them to help with the consistency. This is a picture of the candy that the Easter bunny brought my daughter.

I melted them and added a bit of shortening, and they were awesome for dipping things in. I did strawberries & pretzels. They were really good for strawberries because the chocolate didn't break off in pieces once you bit in, it stays just a tiny bit soft even after refridgeration so it clings to the berries the way it should. Way better than Godiva's.

      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.
