New here- dark gluten free choccy.

[Rmichelle]

Hello everyone i am cealiac but i am finding it hard to find a dark chocolate like bournville or green and blacks that does not say may be cross contamnated with gluten etc, also no soya. I am not lactose intolerant. Thankyou.😊

Someone bought me: Montezuma's dark chocolate. Free from gluten, soya, colourings, gm etc. Made in West Sussex too.

Not a chocolate fan so packet still here to lift the info off!

[Rmichelle in reply to Jacks]

Thanks jacks, i love dark chocolate so im going to have a look at the link yiu have kindly sent.😊

Sainsburys Finest do some lovely 70% dark chocolate bars - from Ecuador, Belgium etc. There are a few which have no soya lecithin in them & they don't say may be contaminated etc. Can't remember which particular one has no soya, so you will need to look on the ingredient list, but they are nice!

[Rmichelle in reply to virgolizzy]

Ooh sainsburys thats good and 70% i like it mine quite dark, one its better for you and you feel better about eating it then, ha thats my excuse anyway.

Try visiting Tesco Online. They have a wide range of chocolate bars and if you click on the item you are searching for it gives a list of all the ingredients, including potential allergens; e.g.

tesco.com/groceries/en-GB/p...

I too am a chocoholic.

[Rmichelle in reply to Mathri]

Thankyou mathri i will also have a look at tesco aswell, the more choccy the merrier. Used to love green and blacks and lhindts but all say may be cross contaminated and its a risk you take then. Id prefer to go without if it says that. Been looking for a while now. But thankyou for your help.😊

Hi, may be worth checking out vegantown.co.uk as they specialise in vegan choc but a lot of them are also gluten free

[Rmichelle in reply to Ukbusybee]

Thankyou ukbusybee thats very kind as i wouldnt have thought about vegan confectionery. My brother is a vegan for many years so i will pass to him aswell, ☺

[Ukbusybee]

No worries. I’m gluten and dairy intolerant so usually meets both my needs. I can easily spend £40 stocking up from them. 😂

[Rmichelle in reply to Ukbusybee]

Its expensive isnt it all these foods in a bid to stay well, it must be a pain being gluten and ldairy intolerant, im just celiac.x

[Saggyuk in reply to Rmichelle]

I believe Aldis is gluten free and very cheap - possibly even lidls but can't remember. I know a lot of people go there to buy it

I agree, couldn't cope with dairy free!

[Rmichelle in reply to Saggyuk]

Thankyou i will check that, i will google it has a dont have soya aswell.xx

[Rmichelle in reply to Saggyuk]

Thats a shame aldis and mont roth brand they sell has got soya in, i dont eat soya because of thyroid problems. Whats your take on it on a gluten free level? People have mixed views on it.😊

[Saggyuk in reply to Rmichelle]

Gluten was definitely the evil one for me as my health has been soooo much better since GF and everything I had wrong since i was a kid went away or reversed - apart from thyroid! - as it's already dead lol. I'm still eating soya at the mo but am planning to maybe take it out for a while and see if makes any difference at some point. I don't eat much of it anyway to be honest but we'll see

[Saggyuk in reply to Saggyuk]

After eight mints are dark choc and GF if you like them? I do sometimes have the lindt dark orange one - but to be honest, I've given up as react sometimes. Don't touch cadburies either as always come up in blisters. I stick to either kinder like their choco bons which are lovely and most of thorntons are GF, I think only one or two of their products have gluten in so maybe try there.

[Saggyuk in reply to Rmichelle]

Oh just remembered, M&S do GF dark chocolate - don't think there was soy in there but not sure.

[Rmichelle in reply to Saggyuk]

Thankyou so much for your help saggyuk. I do love a after eight mint- i am now going to look at them and also xheck m and s dark choccy.

I've just looked on my packets of 85% Swiss choc from tescos, Equador 70% from Lidl and 60% Amazonas from Lidl...no mention of wheat on any of them but all 3 are a "may contain" soya.. worth a try if the soya isn't quite so crucial? I guess that's there to cover themselves.

[Rmichelle in reply to Natural_Natty]

Thankyou naturalnatty, really do appeciate all the help ive had from people here, i love chocolate but do avoid soya because i have a thyroid problem so i do stay clear of it.😊

[Natural_Natty in reply to Rmichelle]

Yes, it's a shame when they say they may contain something we are sensitive to. They probably don't but possibly not worth the risk

Hope you find some ! 😛

[Hillwoman]

Try these if you're feeling flush:

[Rmichelle in reply to Hillwoman]

They look divine sooo yummy but contain soya so very disappointed but i have managed to buy a choccy bar today from sainsburys today, dark choc with orange and geranium- gluten and soya free. Its lovely aswell. But thankyou

😊😊

[Hillwoman in reply to Rmichelle]

Oh dear, didn't spot the soya. Bummer!

[Hillwoman in reply to Hillwoman]

Was the choccy you bought Montezuma? I love that flavour combo.

[Rmichelle in reply to Hillwoman]

Yes. From sainsburys, really nice taste.xx
