Is There Any Chocolate Without Soy

I think that soy makes my nose and cheeks tingle. About a week or so ago, I started eating dark chocolate and my nose and cheeks started to tingle. It went away after a couple of days. I tried chocolate yesterday and guess what.....tingle! Drats. So now it is gluten, soy or chocolate in general, eggs, and milk. Cheese and sour cream seem okay. What do you think? I wonder if my other neuropathy issues are soy too?

Enjoy Life makes chocolate chips without soy, gluten or dairy. I find them in the organic section of my regular store, Wegmans, and also at my local health food store.

When I was on the elimination diet I had a chocolate craving and asked at my local health food store if there was any such thing as a gluten, soy, and dairy-free chocolate bar. They called me back and told me the name of it, which I of course forget right now, but when I'm back in there (I go fairly often) I'll check for you!

There are a number of dairy and soy free chocolates, but most of them are the more expensive chocolates.

The ones that come to mind at the moment are:

Theo

Cluizel

Castelain

(I don't remember the others at the moment)

I understand Pacari is as well, but haven't tried it yet myself. If I'm ordering a bunch of chocolate, I generally get it through chocoworld.com, as some of these are harder to find, but i've been surprised by what I find at specialty grocery stores and cost plus world market.

ENjoy Life also makes chocolate bars, too, including one like the gluten-filled Nestle Crunch. I found them at the local health food co-op.

I buy the Enjoy Life products. They don't contain any soy. They taste really good too! B)

If you are craving brownies Trader Joes makes a yummy gluten-free, dairy free, soy free and nut free brownie mix. That or an Enjoy life bar usually satisfies my craving these days.

There is a great list at Open Original Shared Link . The list contains allergen information for the top 8 allergens - wheat and soy included. Hope this helps. I personally don't eat soy. If you live in the USA you are most likely consuming non-fermented, GMO - (genetically modified organism) soy. Remember when you hear people talking about the health benefits of soy they are referring to fermented soy - tempeh, miso, natto, soy sauce. The offenders are what we are normally exposed to - soy milk, soy in candy, soy lecithin, soy oils we see in canned and frozen foods. Japan reports great health results with soy, however, in Japan soy is consumed sparingly and only fermented, non-GMO soy. Here are some links with good information about the perils of unfermented, GMO-soy.

^They've also been consuming it for generations as well, so that lowers the risk :/

      For people with celiac disease and corn intolerance from it: Is salt still okay for most people?

      By trents · Posted

      Gluten-like cross reactions to other foods are from the proteins that make them up. Dextrose is the sugar component found in corn.

      I just found out a few days ago that some salt like table salt contains dextrose that’s derived from corn. I’ve been thinking about getting rid of using table salt and just using my own kosher or Himalayan salt, but tbh I’m reluctant to do it. I’ve cut out a lot of things and I don’t really want to cut out anything else that I’m not sure will effect me…in a super small amount that it might be added to salts to stabilize the iodine. I don’t want to be further alienated when I have to go to a restaurant with my friends. Also most of the items at my house that have salt in it canned food etc. are some of the few quick things I can eat- because I’m not the one paying for the food in my household and i can only ask for so much. I’m not in a place financially where I can get a lot of my specialized items- although my family tries their best to get items I Can actually stand. I get I can bring a my own salt with me at a restaurant and ask for no seasoning but it feels like a lot to me- cause I already check for cross contamination and ask if the food has like a high volume of corn in it like cornstarch etc. I’ve also heard most dextrose is not derived from the Zein (corn gluten) portion of it- so it might be safe- but idk if that’s true. I just wanna know if anyone actually responded to it negatively.

      I’m so confused…

      For my first couple of years after discovering my celiac disease I also had to avoid cow's milk/casein and eggs, as well as other things, but could tolerate duck eggs and sheep and goat's milk products. I'm not sure if you've tried those, but it could be worth testing them out.

      Hello, @Kwinkle, How are you doing?   Have you tried adding a Magnesium supplement?   The B Complex vitamins need magnesium to work properly, especially thiamine vitamin B 1.   Magnesium deficiency symptoms and Thiamine deficiency symptoms both include gas and bloating.  Thiamine deficiency symptoms also include loss of appetite and fatigue.   My gas and bloating resolved rather quickly when I took Benfotiamine (a form of thiamine shown to promote intestinal healing) and Magnesium Glycinate in addition to my B 50 Complex (all twice a day plus the following...).   I found Magnesium L-Threonate or Magnesium Taurate are better when taken with a form of thiamine called TTFD (Tetrahydrofurfuryl dusulfide) because all of these cross the blood brain barrier easily, which corrects the loss of appetite, fatigue and anxiety.    Like @Celiacandme said, keeping a food/mood/poo'd journal is a big help in finding problematic foods, and for making sure your diet is not carbohydrate heavy.  If you're eating a lot if processed gluten free facsimile foods, be aware they do not have vitamins and minerals added to them like their gluten containing counterparts.  For every 1000 kcal of carbohydrates, we need an extra 500 mg of thiamine to turn them into energy and not store them as fat.   Let us know how you're doing!

      Testing

      Yes, if you had symptoms when eating gluten ruling out celiac disease won't necessarily mean you'll be able to eat gluten again, although it might mean that you may be able to be less strict with your gluten-free diet.
