 chocolate  Posted by
Peter,
I am so thrilled to find your website. I tried a gluten free diet and it seems to have been successful in curing an eczema problem. I have been on the diet for about 5 months.
Can you tell me about chocolate? It's hard to tell if the ingredients listed on the label are safe.
Can I also record that Sainsbury's GF range is improving all the time. In our local store (Brookwood, Surrey) in aisle 6 there is lots of GF stuff, even frozen ready-made meals. The gravy mix and the choc cake mix are really good - by 'ORGRAN'.
Also if anyone is reading this don't be afraid to ask the stores for GF stuff. There are a lot of us out there and stores are always looking for new customers! The more we ask the more chance we have of getting what we want.
Many thanks, Chris

 Re: chocolate  Posted by Peter
Plain chocolate bar is safe ( unless you also react to soya - because it contains soya lecithin)

Other chocolates you need to look up in the coeliac societies booklet. Some contain thin wafers of biscuit, others prepared on trays dusted with flour to prevent them stidking - and not listed in the ingredients.

Some Mars are gluten-free and some are not - depends on size of bar and country of manufacture.

 Re:chocolate chip cookies  Posted by
If you're willing to bake your own cookies, I recently made delicious chocolate chip cookies. I substituted 7/8 cup of rice flour for 1 cup of wheat flour. I also added 1/2 tsp xanthan gum. They were delicious! Get yourself a good gluten-free cookbook. I'm not a baker, but out of necessity, I'm beginning to bake more. And it's challenging, but when the result tastes good, I feel so accomplished and successful at dealing with this diet! One more thing--get you son tested--it's genetic. After I was diagnosed, I had my kids tested, and 2 of them were positive

Hi, my boyfriend is a coeliac and lives in Italy... in Italy things seem to be labelled and handled differently to the UK- not much help in terms of finding out which big name products are gluten free. He will hopefully move to the UK soon and get hold of the coeliac.org food directory, but for now we also desperately need an answer regarding mars bars!
Which Mars are gluten free? Are any? He hasn't eaten a Mars bar in 14 years- this ray of hope seems too good to be true!

Thanks!

In the UK all sizes of Mars Bars are gluten-free

In other countries, they may be made slightly differently and may not be gluten-free.

Mars Bars.----

The 2007/08 Coeliac Soc food handbook does not

include Mars as in previous years. If it is not in the book, then it must be

regarded as being unsuitable for coeliacs. I have been a coeliac for 30

years.

John.

2007/8 handbook lists Mars as one of the companies which did not get its information in in time for publication.

 Re: chocolate  Posted by Peter
Masterfoods (Mars Ltd), who provide information about Mars Bars and their other confectionery say that they are currently updating their nutritional information. This may mean that there are some changes to the ingredients list. You cannot assume that a product that was gluten-free is still gluten-free.

 Re: chocolate  Posted by Ignacio
hi. my kids and I suffer from CD, and though we are currently residing in Argentina, the rest of my family lives in the UK. since my mother is coming over at the end of the week I wanted to ask her to bring an assortment of chocolates with her, and, well, I'd need to know that they are gluten free.



thing is, I don't have the book with gluten free products, so I was wondering if anyone could let me know of a few chocolate brands that are gluten free. I'd very much appretiate the info. I'm almost certain Snickers and Toblerone are gluten free - anything else? Cadbury chocolate buttons? Yorkie? Dime bar, Boost? thanks in advance.

Unfortunately Mars, Kraft, have not provided gluten-free information this year.

Yorkie - milk chocolate

I have just requested info from Masterfoods who make Mars as to which products are ok for all us coeliacs!



I find it very annoying when they do not get their information in in time, Masterfoods make so many of our UK confectionery products that without their contribution a whole chunk of goodies we could probably eat and now being missed out on.



My mum asked them for an uncle ben's list and they were quite good and did send her a comprehensive list quite quickly a few years back.

I emailed mars a couple of days ago (June 07)and mars bars are no longer gluten free. They changed the recipe to accommodate vegetarians, taking out aminal products and replacing with gluten. I am really annoyed that they have done this and then delayed in not putting the information on their products into the uk directory.

 Re: chocolate  Posted by Billy
Anyone else really annoyed by this?

Mars bars used to be GF. They are not in this year's Handbook.



I've been eating them and now find that they are now NOT GF. I've been trying to work out what was causing me problems and now I know!



There is a huge 'Instant Win' flash printed on the bar in front of me. Is it really too much to ask for them to add a Contains Gluten note at the bottom of the ingredients. Isn't there some kind of legislation in place for this?



Why is is that people who choose a vegetarian diet (and that's fine, good luck to them) get pandered to but those of us with special diets forced upon us have to struggle to see if something is safe to eat.



For those who want to continue eating their stuff I was sent this list of safe products.



I think I may give them a miss until they can be bothered to label up.



Bill

Unfortunately Kraft have not confirmed that Toblerone is gluten free, so it should not be used.

You could use Green and Blacks Organic dark 70\% chocolate, or Organic dark chocolate with hazelnuts and currants.

 Re chocolate  Posted by Shar
I am a diagnosed coeliac for 3 years and let's just say, I'm extremely sensitive to gluten. My boyfriend found out that Snickers were gluten free so I ate one (YUM) and nothing! Not even a twinge! Cadbury's Crunchie is labled as having trace amounts but they make me really sick about half an hour after eating one so I'm convinced that Snickers are gluten free!



On a seperate note, I am also fed up of being 'second class' compared to Vegie heads! I understand that it is a life choice but CD is a condition that can and most often will make the sufferer extremely ill if they eat something containing gluten. I'm sure the most that would happen if a Veg. ate meat is that they mite feel guilty

I have been a coeliac since I was diagnosed at the age of 1! and very sensitive to any traces of gluten... and when I became ill last easter I just couldn't work out what I had eaten. Turns out it was a mars bar I had eaten the day before giving up chocolate for lent! I have always been allowed them, changes of recipe should be advertised so this doesn't happen!



I grew up as a coeliac and vegetarian.. (eat meat now) so I know how hard it can be! At least vegetarians get the option.. companies could make it so much easier for us.. I never know what products to trust anymore!

IMPORTANT NEWS FOR ALL COELIACS (UK & NORTHERN IRELAND)Innovative Solutions UK Ltd were extremely pleased to be one of the first companies to bring the Dutch grown, naturally gluten-free,Teff flour into the UK. We have worked hard to meet the stringent requirements of the ACBS, ensuring that milling does not compromise its GF status and apologise to those of you who have been waiting, but we are delighted to announce that Pure Teff Flour (brown & white) is now available on NHS prescription. It will take a little time for this information to feed through to the Chemist & Druggist publication & MIMS, however if you visit the website: www.innovative-solutions.org.uk, and download the prescription form from the home page, the PIP codes are included, and pharmacists can order direct from us.

Because of the amazing versatility of this grain and its remarkable health benefits, we are looking into gaining further approvals with Teff products, e.g Teff muesli, Teff extruded snacks, bread and cake mixes etc. Should anyone have a requirement for TEFF GRAIN, please contact us with suggestions for use, suitable pack size etc. as we are considering supplying the unmilled grain also

Mars Bars do not stay the same. They change the ingredients. Also Mars Bars made in different factories for different countries have different ingredients.
I would say that anything containing barley malt extract is not gluten-free
