I use Open Original Shared Link. It's available in the Kosher section of many grocery stores. Enjoy Life also makes gluten, dairy and soy free chocolate.

They're all *good* chocolates, so they aren't cheap. But I cannot FATHOM eating a whole 2-3oz dark chocolate "bar" in one sitting. One of those things will last me about a week, if I'm eating chocolate every day. Dark chocolate is an acquired taste, if you don't already like it, so give it a chance.

I generally get my chocolate from: Open Original Shared Link (based in Portland), and winter is a perfect time of year to do shipping. I have found Theo locally (but, it's a Seattle company, and I live in the Puget Sound ;) ), and have found Cluizel and Castelain at Cost Plus World Market, which is fairly common on the West Coast.

Enjoy Life's is ok, but ... well, it's not *good* chocolate. :P (Yes, I am a self-admitted chocolate snob. I think Hershey's chocolate is foul tasting. So, your mileage may vary with my advice. :D )

I just recently foudn Enjoy Life's "boom CHOCO boom" dark chocolate bars and they are YUMMY!!! I have always been a chocolate snob and have been dancing a happy dance since finding these. They are Dairy-free, Gluten-free, Nut-Free and Soy-Free!!! I found it at Kroger's and a 1.4 oz. bar costs 1.59. I looked them up online and they seem to run about 1.79 on some of the shopping sites. 1.4 oz doesn't seem like much, but it has 4 sections to it and I try to stick to having one section a day. It's a WONDERFUL treat!!

Oh, I see you're in WA. If you're near Seattle, you can head over to Theo (it's in Fremont) and do a factory tour (free public tours, paid group tours w/ 10 person minimum). It's awesome, with lots of tasting.

the boom choco boom with crispy rice was good until i tried 'dark chocolate dream with almond'. it's like $3 bar but it's bigger then the enjoy life boom choco bar. I got it at kent nature's market, I don't remember if Whole Foods or PCC has it. I don't care for dark chocolate but to me this tastes like real milk chocolate. It's dairy/gluten free. also vegan chocolate chips are pretty good frozen.

Thank you so much. I live in the Puget Sound as well....I'm about an hour from the Candian border. But when I visit my mom in Everett I will be sure to check out Cost Plus World Market. I think the have one in Redmond. Thank you so much...I will check them all out on the web.

I just found out Pier One Imports carrys Theos chocolate bars so I will be on my way down there today. The lady on the phone told me they have five varieties so hopefully they will have ones I can consume.

      how much gluten do I need to eat before blood tests?

      oh that's interesting... it's hard to say for sure but it has *seemed* like oats might be causing me some vague issues in the past few months. It's odd that I never really connect specific symptoms to foods, it's more of an all over feeling of unwellness after eating them. If it happens a few times after eating the same foods- I cut back...

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D. The dramatic, rapid normalization of stool frequency and form after removing wheat, along with improved tolerance of legumes and plant foods, is a classic pattern seen in gluten-driven disease rather than functional IBS. IBS usually worsens with fiber and beans, not improves. The fact that you carry HLA-DQ2.2 means celiac disease is absolutely possible, even if it’s less common than DQ2.5, and many people with DQ2.2 present later and are under-diagnosed. Your hesitation to reintroduce gluten is completely understandable — quality of life matters — and many people in your position choose to remain strictly gluten-free and treat it as medically necessary even without formal biopsy confirmation. If and when you’re ready, a physician can help you weigh options like limited gluten challenge, serology history, or documentation as “probable celiac.” What’s clear is that this wasn’t just random IBS — you identified the trigger, and your body has been very consistent in its response.

      oh that's interesting... it's hard to say for sure but it has *seemed* like oats might be causing me some vague issues in the past few months. It's odd that I never really connect specific symptoms to foods, it's more of an all over feeling of unwellness after  eating them.  If it happens a few times after eating the same foods- I cut back or avoid them. for this reason I avoid dairy and eggs.  So far this has worked well for me.  oh, I have some of Bob's Red Mill Mighty Tasty Hot cereal and I love it! it's hard to find but I will be looking for more.  for the next few weeks I'm going to be concentrating on whole fresh fruits and veggies and beans and nuts and seeds. I'll have to find out if grains are truly necessary in our diet. I buy brown rice pasta but only eat that maybe once a month at most. Never liked quinoa. And all the other exotic sounding grains seem to be time consuming to prepare. Something to look at later. I love beans and to me they provide the heft and calories that make me feel full for a lot longer than a big bowl of broccoli or other veggies. I can't even tolerate the plant milks right now.  I have reached out to the endo for guidance regarding calcium intake - she wants me to consume 1000mgs from food daily and I'm not able to get to more than 600mgs right now.  not supposed to use a supplement until after my next round of testing for hyperparathyroidism.   thanks again- you seem to know quite a bit about celiac.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @SilkieFairy! You could also have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) as opposed to celiac disease. They share many of the same symptoms, especially the GI ones. There is no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out.

      By trents · Posted

      Under the circumstances, your decision to have the testing done on day 14 sounds very reasonable. But I think by now you know for certain that you either have celiac disease or NCGS and either way you absolutely need to eliminate gluten from your diet. I don't think you have to have an official diagnosis of celiac disease to leverage gluten free service in hospitals or institutional care and I'm guessing your physician would be willing to grant you a diagnosis of gluten sensitivity (NCGS) even if your celiac testing comes up negative. Also, you need to be aware that oats (even gluten free oats) is a common cross reactor in the celiac community. Oat protein (avenin) is similar to gluten. You might want to look at some other gluten free hot  breakfast cereal alternatives.
