Does anyone else have a reaction to the Endangered Species chocolate bars?

I ordered the Dark chocolate with almond and cranberry in bulk, and they seem to consistently make me ill. As far as I know I don't have any other food sensitivities.

Yes, I got sick the last time I tried Endangered Species Chocolate about a month ago but assumed I had been cross contaminated by something else.... As the label clearly says certified gluten free. However, I tried it again last night. I haven't felt this bad in a long time...

Mainly SEVERE irritability. I'll never try this product again.

I also had problems with them. You might want to try Enjoy Life. They are also certified gluten free, made in a dedicated facility, and free of all 8 major allergens. I did better with them.

We eat these all the time and I haven't seen any problems. I buy them in bulk for my kids lunches, etc. Are you worried that the gluten certification isn't accurate? Would the certification rule out chances of cc or would the possibility of cc still be there?

They are all gluten free to my knowledge. Chocolate of any sort, gives me terrible reflux.

Just one of those things..... B)

The GFCO certification rules out chances of cc over 10 ppm gluten which is the sensitivity of the test used. Zero chances of cc cannot be obtained because there is not test which has that sensitivity. The most sensitive test that I am aware of has a sensitivity of 3 ppm gluten. I don't know if there are any facilities which use it.

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By Xravith · Posted

      I'm very confused... My blood test came out negative, I checked all antibodies. I suppose my Total IgA levels are normal (132 mg/dl), so the test should be reliable. Still, I'm not relieved as I can't tolerate even a single biscuit. I need to talk to my doctor about whether a duodenal biopsy is necessary. But it is really possible to have intestinal damage despite having a seronegative results? I have really strong symptoms, and I don't want to keep skipping university lectures or being bedridden at home.

      They may want to also eliminate other possible causes for your symptoms/issues and are doing additional tests.  Here is info about blood tests for celiac disease--if positive an endoscopy where biopsies of your intestinal villi are taken to confirm is the typical follow up.

      New labs are now very elevated

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      In the Europe the new protocol for making a celiac disease diagnosis in children is if their tTg-IgA (tissue transglutaminase IgA) levels are 10 times or above the positive level for celiac disease--and you are above that level. According to the latest research, if the blood test results are at certain high levels that range between 5-10 times the reference range for a positive celiac disease diagnosis, it may not be necessary to confirm the results using an endoscopy/biopsy: Blood Test Alone Can Diagnose Celiac Disease in Most Children and Adults TGA-IgA at or Above Five Times Normal Limit in Kids Indicates Celiac Disease in Nearly All Cases No More Biopsies to Diagnose Celiac Disease in Children! May I ask why you've had so many past tTg-IgA tests done, and many of them seem to have been done 3 times during short time intervals?

      Chances of being coeliac

      @JettaGirl, "Coeliac" is the British spelling of "celiac". Same disease.

      This may sound ridiculous but is this supposed to say Celiacs? I looked up Coeliacs because you never know, there’s a lot of diseases related to a disease that they come up with similar names for. It’s probably meant to say Celiacs but I just wanted to confirm.
