Ghirardelli Chocolate Chips
WinterSong replied to WinterSong's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Well, that is just wheat. Their bars/squares might be wheat free, as well, but the culprit there is barley. Also I just got this reply: For legal reasons the information that has been provided is the only information we are authorized to provide you with.

The What's For Dinner Tonight Chat

My boyfriend and I just finished eating - steak with steamed broccoli and bell peppers. First time making steak and it was great! My boyfriend loved it. He's learning about my diet so when he found out that steak is naturally gluten free he was a very happy camper -
went out for lunch today - salmon with capers and veggies with a flour-less chocolate cake for dessert. YUM!

Hi Jessica,
I also live in NY and I am new to this. Getting so many different stories on how to get a grip on this. I hear MT Sinai has a great gluten-free Dept. Can you shed any light on this..
