Is there some reason that you aren't eating chocolate?? Hershey's bars are safe. Have some chocolate and cure that craving. Enjoy!

Not a thing wrong with it!! I satisfy my craving with Dove Dark Chocolate Promises--when I need to, I pop one and let it melt in my mouth ;)

mmmmmm chocolate! I think if you are craving it, you should have it! LOL!

there are some health benefits to chocolate, dark chocolate mostly, but it can be part of a healthy diet!

Give in to the craving and give your body what it wants! Chocolate is GOOOOOOOOOD!

I think Cadbury makes the best chocolate. They have all the Easter candy out now and the Caramellos are the best. I find that if I eat a little bit of what I'm craving then the craving goes away.

I was wondering the same thing...what is with my insatiable craving for chocolate? Before a bag of chocolate could last a year in my house. I could take or leave it, even when I was pregnant. I used to crave salty things. Now I eat a lot of chocolate and am ravenous about it, I scour the house looking for my husband's stash which he tries to hide from me. So what is this craving all about?

Same deal - I crave chocolate like it's my job since I've been gluten free. I was completely ambivalent about it before.

Honestly, I think it's the fat that my body is craving.

My boyfriend tells me I'm nuts, but I also crave vegetables sometimes.

I say, listen to your body!

Me too! Normally, I can't finish a fun size candy bar cause I don't like it. Now I want chocolate all the time...

I don't get it! :P

maybe because we're deprived of so many things now that chocolate is one of the foods we know are "safe" I'm not much of a candy person, give me a large bacon cheeseburger sub anyday..but thats out, so I find I'm eating more sweets.

i'd give my left arm for a sub from the local pizza place..everyday I say I'm gonna get one, then I think about the pain, pout and eat more chicken lol

My doctor told me once that sometimes craving chocolate can mean you need more magnesium...I was pregnant then...I guess chocolate can be a good source of magnesium

I've always loved chocolate!!!!!!! I all of a sudden can't eat enough fudge! And before that wasn't really my thing, a little too rich, but now I can't make enough of it! Besides, chocolate releases endorphines in your brain to make you feel like your in love or happy......maybe with all the stuff we deal with, our brains are saying LIGHTEN UP!!!!! Eat Chocolate!!!!! :D

Oh yeah-has anyone tried the Lara Bar-Chocolate Mole? A little spicy chili pepper with the chocolate!!!! Ohhhh, it's so good!!!!!

      Waiting on Blood test results…

      By ChrisSeth · Posted

      Okay thanks Scott. So based on my results will they order more tests to be done? Kind of confused.

      Waiting on Blood test results…

      By ChrisSeth · Posted

      Hi thanks for your response! This is the only other info that’s on my test results for the IgA. The initial testing performed in the Celiac Disease Reflex Panel is the total IgA. If the total IgA is <10 mg/dL, the reflex tests that will be ordered are the Tissue Transglutaminase IgG Antibody and the Deamidated Gliadin Peptide IgG Antibody. If the total IgA is >=10 mg/dL, the reflex test that will be ordered is the Tissue Transglutaminase IgA Antibody. Does that give some insight?  following up with my Dr early next week… thanks again.  And I didn’t eat more gluten than usual during the last 6-8 weeks on purpose. Just a normal diet prior to testing. I had gluten everyday for 6-8 weeks though I’m sure.

      Have you tried sheep's milk and goat's milk cheeses? After my diagnosis I could not tolerate cow's milk for ~2 years until my villi healed, but for some reason I did not have issues with sheep milk or goat milk cheeses.  I also had temporary issues with chicken eggs, but could eat duck eggs.

      This is not a test for celiac disease, but your total IgA levels. This test is usually done with other celiac disease blood tests to make sure the results are accurate. Did they do a tTg-IgA test as well? Were you eating lots of gluten in the 6-8 weeks leading up to your blood tests? This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease. One test that always needs to be done is the IgA Levels/Deficiency Test (often called "Total IGA") because some people are naturally IGA deficient, and if this is the case, then certain blood tests for celiac disease might be false-negative, and other types of tests need to be done to make an accurate diagnosis. The article includes the "Mayo Clinic Protocol," which is the best overall protocol for results to be ~98% accurate.
