Cocoa Powder

I like to make chocolate things but I need a safe cocoa powder. I was using Ghirardelli because I thought it was safe (their website gives a kinda confusing explanation of their processing methods and what allergens might be present) but now I am definitely reacting to it so I had to throw it away :/ What do you use?

I couldn't find one I didn't react to, sadly. I am extremely sensitive, however. I hope you do find one.

I use Hershey's cocoa powder and have no problem with it.

I know that this one is ok for many super sensitives. It's called Droste

Ghirardelli products are gluten free. I am very sensitive and use their products with no problems. Here is a listing of their products and the allergy information. Perhaps you have a problem with soy or dairy also?

I don't eat dairy and soy but I've never worried about cross contamination from them. Whatever the case, I'm definitely not eating Ghirardelli again.

If you don't eat dairy or soy and then ingest something with these as a possible cc, then that could be your answer. I would hate anyone to think that Ghirardelli contains gluten, because it does not. Check this out: Open Original Shared Link

You will have to check which ones are gluten-free but I have never seen cocoa powder that contains gluten.

Has anyone tried Navitas cocoa products? Are they ok?

      Celiac And Eggs

      By MommaBear82 · Posted

      I just wanted to point out that the QUANTITY of exposure to eggs in baked goods would naturally be much less than if you were to eat a whole egg. I think that's why they appear to be tolerated in baked goods, but not as a stand-alone food.

      What should I do with these test results?

      By trents · Posted

      I would agree. The tests do not indicate you have celiac disease. So, if you are convinced that when you eliminate gluten from your diet your symptoms improve, I would conclude you have NCGS.

      By Jack Common · Posted

      My old results are: The Tissue Transglutaminase IgA antibody - 0.5 U/ml (for the lab I did the tests 0.0 - 3.0 is normal) The Tissue Transglutaminase IgG antibody - 6.6 U/ml (for the lab I did the tests 0.0 - 3.0 is normal) Immunoglobulin A - 1.91 g/l (for the lab I did the tests 0.7 to 4 g/l is normal) IgA Endomysial antibody (EMA) - < 1:10 titer (for the lab I did the tests < 1:10 titer is normal) IgG Endomysial antibody (EMA) - < 1:10 titer (for the lab I did the tests < 1:10 titer is normal) Deamidated gliadin peptide IgA - 0.3 U/ml (for the lab I did the tests 0.0 - 6.0 is normal) Deamidated gliadin peptide IgG - 46.1 U/ml (for the lab I did the tests 0.0 - 6.0 is normal)   Then I didn't eat gluten for six months and after I started a gluten challenge. Before the challenge I did some tests as RMJ had suggested to do. My results: The Tissue Transglutaminase IgG antibody - 0.5 U/ml (for the lab I did the tests < 20 U/ml is normal)) Deamidated gliadin peptide IgG - 28 U/ml (for the lab I did the tests < 20 U/ml is normal)   As trents suggested I ate 6 slices of wheat bread before the tests during the challenge. My results: The Tissue Transglutaminase IgA antibody - 2.0 U/ml (for the lab I did the tests < 20 U/ml is normal) The Tissue Transglutaminase IgG antibody - 2.0 U/ml (for the lab I did the tests < 20 U/ml is normal) Immunoglobulin A - 1.31 g/l (for the lab I did the tests 0.7 to 4 g/l is normal) Deamidated gliadin peptide IgA - 2.0 U/ml (for the lab I did the tests < 20 U/ml is normal) Deamidated gliadin peptide IgG - 2.13 U/ml (for the lab I did the tests < 20 U/ml is normal)   As I can understand I don't have celiac disease.

      Global Food Gluten Free Certification

      So it sounds like Global Foods has adopted the FDA standard for "gluten free" advertising.

      Global Food Gluten Free Certification

      By cvernon · Posted

      Agreed, I am disappointed in the recent GFCO findings as well and definitely don't hold them in as high of a regard as I used to. I did find on the Global Foods website after posting that their required ppm limit is 20ppm, which isn't as low as I had hoped. I'll email and report back. Thx.
