Does anyone know if The Dove Peanut Butter Chocolate is dairy and gluten free? I have an extream sensitivity to dairy and gluten. If I barely intake either i get very sick and all the other symptoms that come with both.

If you were to go to the Dove website, it will give you the ingredients. It lists milk as one of the first ingredients. Don't take my word for it, check it out. Took me less then 60 seconds.

Also, the name is "milk chocolate".

LOL... I know that they have changed the ingreadents then. They used to make it without all the milk. I think it was like a sugar alcohol and coco or something like that. I was just checking to see if someone might know if it was still dairy free. Thank You for the quick response. I've been trying to find something sweet that's not so Expensive but looks like that's an out. I think i should just give up on sweets. All the Gluten/Dairy free stuff i've tried taste like your eating sand or dirt. Thanks Again.

What about starburst and skittles? Jelly bellys? Check but probably no milk.

Yeah, I eat those and love them. Never get sick from them either, but just trying to find some chocolate. But the bad news is, I went to the doctor about two weeks ago and got blood work done and he called today and now he want's me to stay away from sweets. Go figure lol. So, going Dairy Free, Gluten Free, and now No sweets..... LOL.

Is it because your fasting glucose was high? If so be aware that if you are early into the diet you are still ill and that can raise those numbers. Have your doctor recheck in a couple of months.

Also watch out for how many carbs your consuming if your BS is high. A book on the glycemic index of foods can be helpful in pinpointing which foods are going to impact your BS the least.

Moderation is the key. You may be able to have a candy bar occasionally if you skip the chips with lunch.

No, my sugars are all fine. I just love sweets. But, I don't have to worry about that anymore. My doctor just said that my bad cholesterol was just a little high and sad to cut out fatty foods. And i know that sweets make bad fat. So, cutting out that bad stuff. I did eat sweets to keep my weight up casue if I don't then my bodyweight just starts to drop. It's really werd, my entire life I was over weight and always had health issues, and now going Gluten & Dairy Free i feel so much better and lose weight like crazy.

I have diabetes and am underweight and manage stricly with diet alone and I'm quite sensitive. No meds or insulin. Plus I am dairy-free, soy-free etc. etc. But I can still have some dark chocolate! Whole Foods sells Kallari 85% dark and Lindt makes 85% dark, both of which have very small amounts of sugar. There is some CC risk with both, as far as soy and milk go, so depends on how sensitive you are. They taste better if dipped in coconut oil.

For the weight issue, keeping protein portions up-meat and eggs can help keep weight on. In the absence of carbs, that alone has been successful for me. Keeping blood sugar in a good range can help with the cholesterol, believe it or not. Many diabetics on low-carb diets find that their cholesterol improves, despite the fact that they eat lots of fat, and saturated fat at that. So generally, dropping the sweets and carbs can help with that. The reason that people gain weight with sweets, aside from the extra calories is that they cause a release of large amounts of insulin and insulin is the fat building hormone. But as I said, there are ways to gain weight in a healthy way.

Yeah, I have a lot of protein in my diet now. I have three eggs every morning, left overs from the night before for lunch, and a couple of pieces of chicken at night, or something else we make that is homemade. I know that sweets are bad for me though and i could stand to lose a little more weight. lol. And my dairy issue is pretty extreme along with the Celiac. So, I try to stay clear of it, but that isn't always easy due to Cross Contamination. Our Not So Good Friend.

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      Have you tried Pure Encapsulations supplements? This is a brand my doctor recommends for me. I have no issues with this brand.

I have osteoporosis too, so that is why the hormones.  anyway, i think all celiacs should have homocysteine checked and treated if needed (easy enough with b vit, tmg). homocysteine very bad thing to be high for a whole host of reasons. all the bad ones, heart attack , stroke, alzi, cancer..... one of the most annoying things about celiacs (and there are so many!) is the weight gain. i guess i stayed thin all those years being undiagnosed because i was under absorbing everything including calories. going gluten-free and the weight gain has been terrible, 30#, but i'm sure a lot more went into that (hip replacement - and years of hip pain leading to inactivity when i was previously very active, probably all related to celiacs, menopause) yada yada. i seemed to lose appetite control, like there was low glp, or leptin or whatever all those hormones are that tell you that you are full and to stop eating. my appetite is immense and i'm never full. i guess decades or more ( i think i have had celiacs since at least my teens - was hospitalized for abdominal pain and diarrhea for which spastic colon was eventually diagnosed and had many episodes of diarrhea/abdominal pain through my 20's. but that symptom seemed to go away and i related it to dairy much more so than gluten. Also my growth was stunted, i'm the only shorty in my family. anyway, decades of malabsorption and maldigestion led to constant hunger, at least thats my theory. then when i started absorbing normally, wham!! FAT!!!
