Hershey's Semi Sweet Chocolate Chips

Okay so I have been gluten-free since April 09 and have had a few "oopsy" moments of course painful. So I purchase "Cherrybrook Kitchen" Chocolate Chip Cookie Mix which is labeled gluten-free, egg free, dairy free, nut and peanut free. The first time I used it things went well they are DELISH and they didn't upset my tummy at all. I was upset that there weren't more chips in them though so this time I added Hershey's brand chocolate chips, I ate 2 with my dinner (nothing new) this was about 4 o'clock. About 8 o'clock I start having a little reflux (I haven't had an issue with this in MONTHS) and then my tummy starts twisting and I feel UGGHHH, begin to get the chills. It is now 10:30 and my tummy is starting to settle down a bit (thankfully cuz it usually takes about 5 hours to initially feel better and then I am still sick for about 4 days later). So I am wondering if I actually glutened myself here or if possibly the extra "richness" from the extra chocolate chips may have upset me? Just wondering because I have about a dozen more of those cookies in there and I'm thinking that the kiddos are going to finish them cuz I am scared now :unsure: I have been successful with Hershey's choco bar, choco bar with almonds and their MMs. Did these baking choco chips poison me?

Any feedback, thoughts welcome. Thanks!!

Hershey is not top of my list for "good" companies. They will not disclose their sourse of "natural flavors" and prefer to protect their suppliers, rather than support the millions of people who purchase their products. Nope, Hershey products are not on my shopping list.

Betty Crocker makes some drop dead Choc. Chip Cookie Mix. You can find it in the regular baking section of your grocery store.

I can't tell you if Hershey Chips are gluten free and nor will they. BUT, I do hope you feel better soon.

I am not Hershey Friendly--- a few personal reasons besides celiac. I actually live and work in Hershey.

I actually buy Wegmans chocolate chips they are labeled gluten free on the bag. Also Walmart labels their Great Value brand gluten free.

Nestle's Tollhouse Chocolate Chips are gluten free, also. I just use the recipe on the bag and substitute in my gluten free flour. They come out great. :)

You guys are great :) thanks so much. I was not aware that Great Value brand chocolate chips were labeled gluten-free I buy a lot of their products so I can eat without worry. I appreciate all the suggestions on the other chips. I have heard about the Betty Crocker gluten-free line coming out but they haven't hit our store yet. I also have to stay egg free as I am allergic to that too but I just sub in an egg replacer or apple sauce. Luckily I did not ingest more than 2 cookies and it was just the chips that were bad so today I seem to be doing pretty well other than slightly irritable and sleepy. Thank goodness by midnight last night the stomach pain stopped enough to let me sleep a bit.

Again thanks so much, before I try new things I will turn here first and do some more investigating.

I have been gluten free for over a year now. Suffering my whole life since as far back as I can remember. I eat Hershey Chocolate Chips all the time and have never experienced any after sickness. I think maybe your sickness came from somewhere else, maybe to much sugar or cocoa. Chocolate can give anyone heartburn if you eat enough of it. Again, I have been eating Hershey Chips for awhile and just recently had my yearly blood test and my levels are negative. I hope this is helpful and do not encourage anyone to eat anything that makes you question the product or feel sick.

      GI DX celiac despite neg serology and no biopsy

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Just a gluten free diet is not enough.  Now you have to identify and replenish your malnutrition.  Celiac disease is co-morbid with malabsorption syndrome.  Low vitamin D, Low Thiamine caused Gastointeston Beriberi, low choline, low iodine are common the general population, and in newly diagnosed Celiacs in the western culture its is more likely.  It takes time to heal and you need to focus on vitamins and minerals.  Gluten free foods are not fortified like regular processed foods.

      Headaches / Migraines and Hypoglycaemia

      By Sarah Grace · Posted

      Dear Kitty Since March I have been following your recommendations regarding vitamins to assist with various issues that I have been experiencing.  To recap, I am aged 68 and was late diagnosed with Celiac about 12 years ago.  I had been experiencing terrible early morning headaches which I had self diagnosed as hypoglycaemia.  I also mentioned that I had issues with insomnia, vertigo and brain fog.   It's now one year since I started on the Benfotiamine 600 mg/day.  I am still experiencing the hypoglycaemia and it's not really possible to say for sure whether the Benfotiamine is helpful.  In March this year, I added B-Complex Thiamine Hydrochloride and Magnesium L-Threonate on a daily basis, and I am now confident to report that the insomnia and vertigo and brain fog have all improved!!  So, very many thanks for your very helpful advice. I am now less confident that the early morning headaches are caused by hypoglycaemia, as even foods with a zero a GI rating (cheese, nuts, etc) can cause really server headaches, which sometimes require migraine medication in order to get rid off.  If you are able to suggest any other treatment I would definitely give it a try, as these headaches are a terrible burden.  Doctors in the UK have very limited knowledge concerning dietary issues, and I do not know how to get reliable advice from them. Best regards,

      @rei.b,  I understand how frustrating starting a new way of eating can be.  I tried all sorts of gluten-free processed foods and just kept feeling worse.  My health didn't improve until I started the low histamine AIP diet.  It makes a big difference.   Gluten fits into opioid receptors in our bodies.  So, removing gluten can cause withdrawal symptoms and reveals the underlying discomfort.  SIBO can cause digestive symptoms.  SIBO can prevent vitamins from being absorbed by the intestines.  Thiamine insufficiency causes Gastrointestinal Beriberi (bloating, abdominal pain, nausea, diarrhea or constipation).  Thiamine is the B vitamin that runs out first because it can only be stored for two weeks.  We need more thiamine when we're sick or under emotional stress.  Gastric Beriberi is under recognised by doctors.  An Erythrocyte Transketolace Activity test is more accurate than a blood test for thiamine deficiency, but the best way to see if you're low in thiamine is to take it and look for health improvement.  Don't take Thiamine Mononitrate because the body can't utilize it well.  Try Benfotiamine.  Thiamine is water soluble, nontoxic and safe even at high doses.  I thought it was crazy, too, but simple vitamins and minerals are important.  The eight B vitamins work together, so a B Complex, Benfotiamine,  magnesium and Vitamin D really helped get my body to start healing, along with the AIP diet.  Once you heal, you add foods back in, so the AIP diet is worth doing for a few months. I do hope you'll consider the AIP diet and Benfotiamine.

      Finding gluten free ingredients

      By captaincrab55 · Posted

      Imemsm, Most of us have experienced discontinued, not currently available or products that suddenly become seasonal.   My biggest fear about relocating from Maryland to Florida 5 years ago, was being able to find gluten-free foods that fit my restricted diet.  I soon found out that the Win Dixie and Publix supper markets actually has 99% of their gluten-free foods tagged, next to the price.  The gluten-free tags opened up a  lot of foods that aren't actually marked gluten-free by the manufacture.  Now I only need to check for my other dietary restrictions.  Where my son lives in New Hartford, New York there's a Hannaford Supermarket that also has a gluten-free tag next to the price tag.  Hopefully you can locate a Supermarket within a reasonable travel distance that you can learn what foods to check out at a Supermarket close to you.  I have dermatitis herpetiformis too and I'm very sensitive to gluten and the three stores I named were very gluten-free friendly.  Good Luck
