Hershey's Semi Sweet Chocolate Chips

Okay so I have been gluten-free since April 09 and have had a few "oopsy" moments of course painful. So I purchase "Cherrybrook Kitchen" Chocolate Chip Cookie Mix which is labeled gluten-free, egg free, dairy free, nut and peanut free. The first time I used it things went well they are DELISH and they didn't upset my tummy at all. I was upset that there weren't more chips in them though so this time I added Hershey's brand chocolate chips, I ate 2 with my dinner (nothing new) this was about 4 o'clock. About 8 o'clock I start having a little reflux (I haven't had an issue with this in MONTHS) and then my tummy starts twisting and I feel UGGHHH, begin to get the chills. It is now 10:30 and my tummy is starting to settle down a bit (thankfully cuz it usually takes about 5 hours to initially feel better and then I am still sick for about 4 days later). So I am wondering if I actually glutened myself here or if possibly the extra "richness" from the extra chocolate chips may have upset me? Just wondering because I have about a dozen more of those cookies in there and I'm thinking that the kiddos are going to finish them cuz I am scared now :unsure: I have been successful with Hershey's choco bar, choco bar with almonds and their MMs. Did these baking choco chips poison me?

Any feedback, thoughts welcome. Thanks!!

Hershey is not top of my list for "good" companies. They will not disclose their sourse of "natural flavors" and prefer to protect their suppliers, rather than support the millions of people who purchase their products. Nope, Hershey products are not on my shopping list.

Betty Crocker makes some drop dead Choc. Chip Cookie Mix. You can find it in the regular baking section of your grocery store.

I can't tell you if Hershey Chips are gluten free and nor will they. BUT, I do hope you feel better soon.

I am not Hershey Friendly--- a few personal reasons besides celiac. I actually live and work in Hershey.

I actually buy Wegmans chocolate chips they are labeled gluten free on the bag. Also Walmart labels their Great Value brand gluten free.

Nestle's Tollhouse Chocolate Chips are gluten free, also. I just use the recipe on the bag and substitute in my gluten free flour. They come out great. :)

You guys are great :) thanks so much. I was not aware that Great Value brand chocolate chips were labeled gluten-free I buy a lot of their products so I can eat without worry. I appreciate all the suggestions on the other chips. I have heard about the Betty Crocker gluten-free line coming out but they haven't hit our store yet. I also have to stay egg free as I am allergic to that too but I just sub in an egg replacer or apple sauce. Luckily I did not ingest more than 2 cookies and it was just the chips that were bad so today I seem to be doing pretty well other than slightly irritable and sleepy. Thank goodness by midnight last night the stomach pain stopped enough to let me sleep a bit.

Again thanks so much, before I try new things I will turn here first and do some more investigating.

I have been gluten free for over a year now. Suffering my whole life since as far back as I can remember. I eat Hershey Chocolate Chips all the time and have never experienced any after sickness. I think maybe your sickness came from somewhere else, maybe to much sugar or cocoa. Chocolate can give anyone heartburn if you eat enough of it. Again, I have been eating Hershey Chips for awhile and just recently had my yearly blood test and my levels are negative. I hope this is helpful and do not encourage anyone to eat anything that makes you question the product or feel sick.

      Gluten migranes at night

      The first symptoms I had of coeliac disease were migraines. I think your doctor needs to test you for coeliac disease. The fact you are having migraines at night is interesting, but I never used to drink enough and my headaches were worse when I woke up in the morning. Dehydration was also a big cause for me.

      Gluten migranes at night

      I'll ask the same question that knitty kitty asked? On what basis did your Dr arrive at the conclusion that you have gluten intolerance? But let's be clear about terminology because the terms "gluten intolerance" and "gluten sensitivity" are typically used interchangeably out there in the wild and both are used indiscriminately to speak of two different...

      Gluten migranes at night

      Interesting....my Dr says since migranes are my only symptom she says I have gluten intolerance. I have stopped eating gluten. However, it seems to sneak in from time to time. Example: I ate canned mushrooms! Never thought canned mushrooms could have gluten, but they did. I had a migrane for 3 nights straight. Or I eat out, I think I am getting gluten free...

      Gluten migranes at night

      What medicine did they give you for migraines? Does it help much? I also suffer from migraines and am on one med for prevention and another for relief after onset. Many times, my headaches start during the night when I'm sleeping but not always. Have you cut back on gluten consumption of late? As knitty kitty explained, you must have been eating generous...

      Night time migranes

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Debado, Migraines at night can be caused by high levels of histamine.  Histamine Intolerance can cause physical symptoms like migraines. Foods contain histamine.  Our bodies make histamine, an important neurotransmitter.  Our bodies naturally produce more histamine at night as part of our circadian rhythm, our sleep-wake cycles.   Some foods like gluten and nuts contain high histamine themselves or trigger our bodies to produce more histamine.  A low histamine diet is helpful, cutting out high histamine foods and histamine-release triggering foods.   Our bodies can breakdown a certain amount of histamine, but sometimes our bodies cannot keep up with the amount of histamine needing to be broken down, and can be overwhelmed by the amount of histamine resulting in Histamine Intolerance and health problems like migraines.   Vitamins C, B12, Pyridoxine B6 and thiamin B1 help lower histamine levels.  Our bodies use these vitamins to make an enzyme DOA (diamond oxidase) that breaks down histamine.  DAO from beef or pork kidney is an over-the-counter supplement that can be taken.   Riboflavin B2 is very helpful for relieving migraines.   Have you been diagnosed with Celiac Disease or suspect you have it?   Happy Holidays!

      Guidance on next steps after the lab tests

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @ABP2025, Have you thought about having a DNA test to check for known Celiac genes?    I do hope you will make sure that you are getting sufficient gluten to provoke an autoimmune response strong enough that the antibodies can be measured in the blood.  See article below. Celiac disease affects the absorption of nutrients,  including vitamins and minerals.  Your symptoms may be associated with thiamine deficiency.   Migraines and peripheral neuropathy, phimosis (yes, even this), and white spots on the brain are seen in thiamine deficiency.  Celiac disease disrupts the absorption of all the essential nutrients, but thiamine can be quickly depleted, in as little as three days.  Thiamine deficiency can occur even if blood tests show normal levels.  Thiamine deficiency can affect antibody production.

      Night time migranes

      By Debado · Posted

      Anybody ever heard of getting a migrane from gluten and coconut oil ONLY at night?   If I consume gluten or coconut oil, even in the morning,  I will get a migrane. But not until half way thru the night. I don't get this. Why at night? Why not right after I eat?

      Early on,  DQ2 and DQ8 were the primary genes that have been connected to the potential to develop celiac genes but more recent genetic research suggests there may be more.
