It is very, very unlikely that these are gluten free.

When in doubt, don't eat it.

I have searched Reber's useless website and cannot find any nutritional information on it other than they're kosher. :huh:

I have also searched other websites which sell these, and found a few other varieties listed, such as a milk chocolate product without the nuts and cherry filling, which did list the ingredients for that item, and it was NOT gluten free.

Examples: Open Original Shared Link

Another site, the Reber chocolate "piano bar" listed the ingredients as sugar cocoa almonds whole milk powder hazelnuts cocoa butter crisped rice pistachios cream brandy

the two ingredients I bolded likely had the gluten in them. The crisped rice probably had malt barley in it, and the brandy could have unsourced flavorings, as well.

If a lot of the other chocolates, such as the plain milk chocolate Reber "Santa," have gluten, then it's likely the manufacturer does not separately make a gluten free item.

From what I've seen of imported european milk chocolates on the label, I won't go near them. They don't list for allergens and have a lot of different flavorings.

In my mom voice, " What have we learned here?". Your response, " If I don't know the ingredients, I won't eat it.". Me: "that's right , dear.". :)

Thank you so much for your help. I can not find anything on them and the ingredients on the chocolate its self its tiny. So I could not read it. I will send the manufacture an E-mail and let you all know but for now be very careful when eating these. I have been looking a lot as its the only thing that could have caused it. I had daim cake in ikea that is gluten-free. When I came home at about 10 I ate two of these and felt something was not write with them.

Your mom is a very wise woman. I am new to this celiac diet so I take things at face value if I think they are gluten-free.

      Bob red mill gluten free oats

      Not necessarily. The "Gluten Free" label means not more than 20ppm of gluten in the product which is often not enough for super sensitive celiacs. You would need to be looking for "Certified Gluten Free" (GFCO endorsed) which means no more than 10ppm of gluten. Having said that, "Gluten Free" doesn't mean that there will necessarily be more gluten than "Certified...

      Disaccharide deficient, confusing biopsy results, no blood test

      I think it is wise to seek a second opinion from a GI doc and to go on a gluten free diet in the meantime. The GI doc may look at all the evidence, including the biopsy report, and conclude you don't need anything else to reach a dx of celiac disease and so, there would be no need for a gluten challenge. But if the GI doc does want to do more testing, you...

      High TTG-IgG and Normal TTG-IgA

      Let me suggest an adjustment to your terminology. "Celiac disease" and "gluten intolerance" are the same. The other gluten disorder you refer to is NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) which is often referred to as being "gluten sensitive". Having said that, the reality is there is still much inconsistency in how people use these terms. Since celiac disease...

      I think it is wise to seek a second opinion from a GI doc and to go on a gluten free diet in the meantime. The GI doc may look at all the evidence, including the biopsy report, and conclude you don't need anything else to reach a dx of celiac disease and so, there would be no need for a gluten challenge. But if the GI doc does want to do more testing, you can worry about the gluten challenge at that time. But between now and the time of the appointment, if your symptoms improve on a gluten free diet, that is more evidence. Just keep in mind that if a gluten challenge is called for, the bare minimum challenge length is two weeks of the daily consumption of at least 10g of gluten, which is about the amount found in 4-6 slices of wheat bread. But, I would count on giving it four weeks to be sure.

      thank you both for the insights. i agree, im going to back off on dairy and try sucraid. thanks for the tip about protein powder, i will look for whey protein powder/drinks!   i don’t understand why my doctor refused to order it either. so i’ve decided i’m not going to her again, and i’m going to get a second opinion with a GI recommended to me by someone with celiac. unfortunately my first appointment isn’t until February 17th. do you think i should go gluten free now or wait until after i meet with the new doctor? i’m torn about what i should do, i dont know if she is going to want to repeat the endoscopy, and i know ill have to be eating gluten to have a positive biopsy. i could always do the gluten challenge on the other hand if she does want to repeat the biopsy.    thanks again, i appreciate the support here. i’ve learned a lot from these boards. i dont know anyone in real life with celiac.

      Let me suggest an adjustment to your terminology. "Celiac disease" and "gluten intolerance" are the same. The other gluten disorder you refer to is NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) which is often referred to as being "gluten sensitive". Having said that, the reality is there is still much inconsistency in how people use these terms. Since celiac disease does damage to the small bowel lining it often results in nutritional deficiencies such as anemia. NCGS does not damage the small bowel lining so your history of anemia may suggest you have celiac disease as opposed to NCGS. But either way, a gluten-free diet is in order. NCGS can cause bodily damage in other ways, particularly to neurological systems.
