mores Wrote:I know this is beside the point, here, but I just wanted to throw it out there. My wife is allergic to wheat. Not gluten, but wheat! And a bunch of other things so I know that allergies can be weird and very specific, and that when people think it's a chocolate allergy, it's most likely an allergy to nuts or lactose or some other ingredient. So, a soy milk cup of cocoa made with pure cocoa would probably be unharmful to Vicky, unlike those chocolates from The Tomb.
Agreed in terms of true chocolate allergies being rare. However often it is milk, peanuts, tree nuts, soy or wheat causing issues in chocolate. Presumably if one of those were the issue they would know as those allergies entail significant vigilance and somewhat restricted diets. Hard to say for sure without additional clarification on her allergy.
I love chocolate, but have a hard time finding safe things to eat as I have peanut and tree nut allergies, confirmed by allergist testing.
