I have realized I cannot tolerate soy at all so I'm looking for a gluten free, soy free chocolate. Mostly for baking but every chocolate bar/chocolate chip package i've looked at at the very least has soy lechitin in it. Does anyone know of one? thanks, Beverly

I'm also soy free, so it's been a bit of a bummer trying to find soy free, gluten-free chocolate. The only one I have found is Enjoy Life's chocolate chips. They are also dairy free. They are very good and taste just like the "real thing," but they are only in chocolate chips, but at least I can use them for baking. If you find soy free chocolate bars, let me know!

I've had trouble with soy too, but I can handle organic chocolate bars. I started slowly with the little Bug Bites from my health food store. I have to stick with the plain though. The mint upset my stomach for some reason.

I found Green and Black's Organic chocolate at Walmart yesterday. It was $3.28 for a 3.5 oz bar though. It also states that it is 70% cocoa and I understand that qualifies as healthy. :D

I get 99% Cacao by Scharffen Berger. It is just cocoa beans and vanilla beans. It does say it may contain traces of sugar and soy but haven't had a problem with it.

I eat Green & Blacks as well. The dark chocolate mint bar is awesome.

Hi Ravenwood--where do you buy that chocolate? I've not seen it, and I can't get the Enjoy Life Chips locally. The kitty in your pic is so adorable--I read about how you came upon him in another thread. I love that face--kind of vulnerable and innocent looking! My vote :ph34r: , I hope you end up keeping him. :D

Thanks everyone- I'll see if I can find the Enjoy Life stuff and the Green and Black's (I know I've seen that somewhere locally) and ill let you know if find anything else.

70% cacao definitely qualifies as healthy :D

Ravenwood- You might not keep the kitty? She's SO cute! I'll take her!

I've never seen it "in person". I'd order it online. :-) There are a number of online stores that carry it in the US if you don't want to order it directly. Just google! :-)

Where do I find the Scharffer Berger candy? I am corn, soy and dairy free. Hope you read this.

The following products from Open Original Shared Link are soy free:

Conacado bar

Chocodrops 73%

hot chocolates (the xcocolatl is amazing)

cacao powder

nibs

syrup

All of their products are gluten-free, but the rest of their chocolate bars and drops have about 0.05% soy lecithin.

Hope this helps :)

      Celiac or Addison's complications? Can someone share their experience?

      By trents · Posted

      @KRipple, thank you for the lab results from your husband's celiac disease blood antibody testing. The lab result you share would seem to be the tTG-IGA (Tissue Transglutaminase IGA) and the test result is in excess of 10x normal. This is significant as there is an increasing tendency for physicians to grant a celiac disease diagnosis on the basis of antibody testing alone when the scores on that particular test exceed 10x normal. This trend started in the UK during the COVID pandemic when there was tremendous pressure on the medical system over there and it has spread to the USA. The tTG-IGA is the centerpiece of celiac disease blood antibody testing. All this to say that some doctors would grant a celiac disease diagnosis on your husband's bloodwork alone and not feel a need to go forward with an endoscopy with biopsy. This is something you and your husband might wish to take up with his physicians. In view of his many health issues it might be wise to avoid any further damage to his small bowel lining by the continuing consumption of gluten and also to allow healing of such to progress. The lining of the small bowel is the place where essentially all of our nutrition is absorbed. This is why celiac disease when it is not addressed with a gluten free diet for many years typically results in additional health problems that are tied to nutritional deficiencies. The millions and millions of tiny finger-like projections that make up the nutrient absorbing surface of the small bowel lining are worn down by the constant inflammation from gluten consumption. In celiac disease, the immune system has been tricked into labeling gluten as an invader. As these finger-like projections are worn down, the efficiency of nutrient absorption becomes more and more compromised. We call this villous atrophy.

      Thank you so much! And sorry for not responding sooner. I've been scouring the hospital records and can find nothing other than the following results (no lab info provided): Component Transglutaminase IgA   Normal Range: 0 - 15.0 U/mL >250.0 U/mL High   We live in Olympia, WA and I will be calling University of Washington Hospital - Roosevelt in Seattle first thing tomorrow. They seem to be the most knowledgeable about complex endocrine issues like APS 2 (and perhaps the dynamics of how APS 2 and Celiacs can affect each other). His diarrhea has not abated even without eating gluten, but that could be a presentation of either Celiac's or Addison's. So complicated. We don't have a date for endoscopy yet. I will let my husband know about resuming gluten.    Again, thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with me!

      Hi Phosphone, did you ever figure out what elevated your DGP?  I am in the same boat.

      Scott makes a good point about the prednisone. It has a general suppressing effect on the immune system. Don't misunderstand me. In view of your husband's several autoimmune afflictions, it would seem to be an appropriate medication therapy but it will likely invalidate endoscopy/biopsy test results for celiac disease.
