Safe White Chocolate

My birthday is coming up in about two months and I am new to all of this - my husband and kids keep asking what white chocolate they can get me for my birthday (as they use to get me either Lindt truffles or Godiva). Is there any white chocolate that is safe? I know I read on the Lindt and Godiva websites that they are not gluten free so I am not sure what else to try. Also we found a gluten free cake mix - are most store bought icings gluten free?

I am trying to be prepared as the kids want to be able to celebrate like usual (and I missed so much at Christmas due to not knowing what I could eat - I think they don't want to see me left out again).

I have really enjoyed this board as all of this is overwhelming. Thank you so much!

Blessings,

Leah

Toblerone white chocolate are gluten free! And delicious :)

Icing can be made at home extremely easily -- I can provide a really simple recipe if you like.

Have a happy birthday :)

np :) just beat together 3 tablespoons of butter (if you keep butter in the fridge, it helps to leave it out to soften), 1.5 cups of icing sugar, 1.5 tablespoons of milk, 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla (or to taste). Icinig is mainy just sugar! Just beat until smooth (an icing-like texture) and enjoy!

Leah, No reason to be left out of any holiday or celebration. What do you usually have on your Birthday? You may have to change a few recipes but you should be able to have your favorite things.

Betty Crocker makes gluten free cake, cookie and brownie mixes plus some of their canned frostings are gluten free. If you like Almond flavored things my Almond Cream Cake is great (if you can have dairy and almonds).

      I did a tTG-IgA test to check if they were high I usually do it a lot when I was a kid but the last time I did it was when I was 12 then now at 17 and they were 32 the normal is less than 7 i guess .also I want to know,I do have gluten free supplements but they are not absorbed well due to the inflammation, what do I do should I wait six month after I eat gluten free food or take now even tho I am not sure if they able to be absorbed and I don't see improvements

      Diagnosed gluten allergy but not Celiac

      Actually, it's an opioid hit.  Gluten attaches to opioid receptors we have throughout our bodies including our digestive systems.  That opioid hit from gluten attaching to opioid receptors is probably why some people don't have gastrointestinal symptoms.  Some people feel worse after going gluten free because they are no longer consuming exogenous opioids from gluten. We also have opioid receptors in our brains which can account for brain fog.  Remember that antibodies against gluten attack not only the gluten on the receptors, but also our own tissues because structural elements in our cell membranes resemble gluten.  In our digestive systems, our villi, the anemone like projections that absorb nutrients, are damaged.  Same type of thing in the tissue of the brain.  People with gluten ataxia tend to produce tTg 6 IgA antibodies.  Diagnostic blood tests for Celiac test for tTg 2 antibodies from the intestines.  People with Parkinson's and Alzheimer's also produce tTg 6 antibodies although they may not have Celiac Disease.   Gluten is not just an addiction, it's a health hazard to us.

      Progesterone pills - are they gluten free??

      Do you have a soy or peanut allergy? This shouldn't be a concern purely from a celiac or gluten sensitivity perspective.

      Welcome to the forum, @Sarawiththeceliac! Can you give us the reference range for your celiac test? Different labs use different reference ranges for negative vs. positive so without that a test score of 32 is not that helpful. And its that a recent test or was it done when you were 5 years old? It is imperative that you begin to observe a strict gluten-free diet. If you will do this, you can expect substantial improvement in your health. I can't promise you that you will experience 100% repair of all body damage but you can expect significant improvement overall. You will also need invest in some high potency gluten-free vitamin and mineral supplements. Celiac disease damages the lining of the small bowel. That is the area of the intestinal track where all of the vitamins and minerals contained in what we eat gets absorbed. The damage to this villous lining greatly reduces the efficiency of the absorption. In the meantime, here is a primer for getting off to a good start on the gluten free diet:

      Progesterone pills - are they gluten free??

      By Daisyskd · Posted

      I was just about to pop a progesterone pill into my mouth for the first time, before I read the label. It says, may contain soy or peanut on the cvs label. Mfr is Aurobindo. Maybe cvs just slaps this warning on all meds. Idk but now I have to dig into it.
