Need Chocolate Chips

Recommended Posts

I need a couple of bags for some gluten free Chex "puppy chow" I'm making for an event this Saturday, but I can't verify which regular brands are safe. I know the Enjoy Life ones are, but they're over five bucks for a 10oz bag. I've read that Nestle and Hershey have been good about listing gluten ingredients on their labels. Does anyone know if that's still true? All the info I've found on the web so far is from a couple of years ago, or it's from overseas.

Thanks!

Nestle is very good about declaring gluten as well as noting on the label if the product was made on the same equipment as products with gluten.

Hershey's has been less than forthcoming lately as to their sources of natural flavors.

Is Toll House NOT gluten free?

With Nestle, all you need to do is read the label--if gluten is not listed, it's not there. Last I knew, the semi sweet chocolate chips were fine.

If you can find Guittard brand chocolate chips where you are, they are gluten-free. They don't say so on the label but it's in their FAQ on their website (ALL of their products are gluten-free). And they're yummy.

They're not an expensive specialty brand, but they're not in all stores, either. Interestingly, I usually find them in "discount" stores (for those around here, I buy them at Bi-Mart and WinCo). But they're not a bargain-basement chocolate chip, either... cost about the same as Nestle, but taste better (IMO).

Thank you! I'll have to keep an eye out for those.

I remembered after my original post that Meijer has an allergen list that discloses gluten for all their store-brand products....so I got 'em from there. :)

      I do not use menthol lozenge, but I have found a brand of oral probiotics that has same ingredients as Prodentim but without spending $50  bottle. I bought Naturewise Oral probiotics from Amazon at $29 a bottle for 50 chewables instead of the 30 qty. The Simbicort upset the bacteria is my mouth, had white tongue and created a dental problem with a tooth, plus the inflammation in throat, vocal cords. Used the chewable and rested it along the gum where tooth hurts 4 x on Monday. Tuesday, went to dentist and she looked at what I thought was my problem tooth and she said all looked pink and happy. No problem.  Also, I spoke with my Allergist and he said instead of two puffs am and pm...

      I have the exact same symptoms for a couple of wks now but I've been taking Symbicort for quite awhile at this point. I read you can get yeast infection in the vocal cords so I may ask my Dr. for antifungal meds cos I cant wait for an ENT exam. Also read on this site the connection between Vit D and K2 deficiency and asthma...doesn't apply to me cos mine is from mold in a house years ago but still might try and see if my asthma improves. I am Celiac and gluten causes the same symptoms but it says this inhaler is gluten free and it only started acting up so that option is out. I use Ventolin on occasion but using that for many many years. For me I will see if can switch inhalers to a brand that...

      Did a little more research just now and found out that even though the max methane should not exceed 10. It is normal to be around 3 and not rise. Again, I was at 13 so this does make me a bit suspicious. This was done back in May of 2024. I do recall being put on 14 day Antibiotic called Rifaximin but I'm really not sure if it made a difference, but if it did, then the problems still came back:(

      I did a SIBO Test about a year ago, and I barely elevated on the Methane portion (max was 10 and I hit 13). Dr wasn't too concerned.

      Have you looked into SIBO (Small Intestine Bacterial Overgrowth)?  Also, MCAS (Mast Cell Activation Syndrome)/histamine intolerance (they go together like a hand and glove).  Both of the above are common in the celiac community.
