Chocolate?

Recommended Posts

I'm not super-sensitive, seems my only issues are wheat and gluten. Yesterday I had D all day, and all I can

suspect is Nesquik chocolate (made cocoa with Frangelico hazelnut liqueur). The Nesquik container says it's made on equipment that processes wheat. Would the Hershey's syrup be OK? The Frangelico or other liqueurs would

not be a problem, would they?

I think Dagoba makes a gluten-free chocolate, though it might just be "hot" chocolate. Maybe you should try something like a nice tea - black tea with honey or something, or if you do dairy, a bit of milk. It can be satisfying in the same way chocolate is. Chocolate is a high allergen, and you may have problems with chocolate. Another good substitute is a chai tea or latte.

Really, all that sugar isn't doing you any good anyhow.

I quit buying the syrup crap and started making my own, my kids say it's the best cocoa they've ever had:

1 TBS cocoa powder

1 TBS agave nectar

1 TBS hot water

Mix well until all are combined

Add 8-12oz hot milk (I use regular for the kiddos and almond for me)

It's so rich and creamy, and nothing you can't pronounce!!

I love hot cocoa, without the sugar. I take a spoon of unsweetened cocoa powder, with a little water in a pan. Bring to a boil and stir, then add my milk. Heat until hot.

Hershey's syrup is okay according to Hershey's and multiple posts I've seen on this site.

      Hello, @NCalvo822, Blood tests for Celiac Disease test for antibodies our bodies make in response to gluten exposure.  These Tg IgA 2 antibodies mistakenly attack our own bodies, causing problems in organs and tissues other than just the digestive tract.  Joints can ache, thyroid problems or the pancreas can develop.  Ataxia is just one of over two hundred symptoms of Celiac Disease. Some people with Celiac Disease also make tTg IgA 6 antibodies in response to gluten exposure.  The tTg IgA 6 antibodies attack the brain, causing ataxia.  These tTg IgA 6 antibodies are also found in people with Parkinson's disease, though they may not have Celiac Disease.  First degree relatives...

      @Rebeccaj,  When you smell toast or pasta cooking, that means that particles of that food are floating around in the air.  Airborne gluten can then be inhaled and swallowed, meaning the food particles get into your digestive tract.   If you're careful to avoid gluten and are still having symptoms, those symptoms could be caused by vitamin deficiencies.

      ok thanks for your advice. But my question was what happens when someone you know in a house is cooking pasta or toast that's flour  Airbourne without eating.?

      Do discuss this recent article with your doctors.  Thiamine Vitamin B 1 is important to intestinal health.  Thiamine deficiency can occur in Celiac Disease due to malabsorption.  Supplementing with a B Complex, Benfotiamine, and Vitamin D can help symptoms.   Thiamine deficiency aggravates experimental colitis in mice by promoting glycolytic reprogramming in macrophages https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39890689/#:~:text=Our mechanistic study revealed that,necessary to protect against colitis. "Conclusion and implications: Our study provides evidence linking thiamine deficiency with proinflammatory macrophage activation and colitis aggravation, suggesting that...

      Do keep in mind that most gluten free flours are not enriched nor fortified with vitamins and minerals like gluten containing flours are required to do.   Consuming a diet high in carbohydrates without sufficient B vitamins to digest and process them into energy can lead to High Calorie Malnutrition and weight gain. Deficiency symptoms of B vitamins resemble gastrointestinal symptoms when after eating gluten.  Gastrointestinal Beriberi is a form of Thiamine deficiency.   Do talk to your doctors about supplementing with essential nutrients while on the gluten free diet, especially if you're consuming processed foods.
