ARCHIVED Butter In Dark Choc
Shweta replied to taz sharratt's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I wrote to Lindt an year back & they said they did not make gluten-free chocolates. It is possible that the place where these chocolates are made is used to make some other glutened products. -
ARCHIVED Even People Who"know" Don't Know
Shweta replied to chrissy's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Me too! Well, actually, I was very careful in the begining. As I was getting better, I thought a little gluten here and there won't harm.

ARCHIVED Gf In China (?)
Shweta replied to gooldenwending's topic in Introduce Yourself / Share Stuff
It is absolutely unreal for anyone to say that Asians cannot get celiac disease. I am an Indian, always lived in India and ate India food. And yet 2 years earlier (2003) I was diagnosed with celiac disease. However, my problem was not correctly detected untill after I came to the US. I agree with happycc, that is not easy to make your family and friends understand... -
