    Celiac.com 01/15/2019 - The annual Girl Scout cookie season is kicking off for 2019 with some fresh new cookies, including the gluten-free Caramel Chocolate Chip. The Scouts’ newest treat is flavored with semi-sweet chocolate chips, caramel and a hint of sea salt. 

    The gluten-free Caramel Chocolate Chip cookie is the first new Girl Scout cookie since their popular S’mores was introduced in 2016, and the first new gluten-free cookie since the Girl Scouts first introduced gluten-free cookies nationally in 2015. Each Caramel Chocolate Chip cookie has just under 60 calories, 4 grams of sugar and just under 3 grams of fat. Other traditional Girl Scout favorites include Thin Mints, Do-si-dos, Samoas and Trefoils.

    Celiac.com Sponsor (A12):
     The Girl Scouts have two other gluten-free offerings: Toffee-tastic, a buttery cookie with sweet and crunchy golden toffee bits, and Trios, a peanut butter oatmeal cookie with chocolate chips.

    The Girl Scout Cookie Program is committed to promoting entrepreneurial and business skills in girls. According to a statement by Girl Scouts of the USA CEO Sylvia Acevedo “…all Girl Scout Cookie proceeds stay local to power year-round troop projects and activities, when you buy Girl Scout Cookies, you are making an investment in girls and in your local community."

    Cookies prices may vary regionally, as they are set individually by each of the local 112 Girl Scout councils. To buy Girl Scout cookies, including their newest gluten-free Caramel Chocolate Chip, download the Girl Scout Cookie Finder app or go to Girlscoutcookies.org and enter your zip code.

    Have you tried the Girl Scouts’ new gluten-free Caramel Chocolate Chip or other gluten-free cookies yet? If you do, please chime in and let us know your thoughts.

    I tried the Toffee-tastic when it was the first gluten-free cookie. Sorry, but I found it disgusting. I will consider trying one of the other two since I have a little friend selling them.

    Do the gluten-free cookies contain yeast, yeast extract, dairy or egg?

    These are gluten cross-reactors.

    Many in the non-celiac community are searching for gluten-free products in order to sustain good health.

    Bravo girl scouts!

    Yum! Best boxed gluten-free cookies ever.  Wish I could get them year round - probably best for my waist line that I can't.

    No these are certified gluten-free and are made in a dedicated facility.  However, these are made with oats and some celiacs react to oats — gluten free or not.  Plus, these are a processed food.  You could be reacting to something other than gluten.

    Me?  I am an adult Girl Scout who has celiac disease.

    Gluten-free Wasteland Girl Scout Crushes Cookie Sales
    Celiac.com 03/28/2017 - A savvy Girl Scout from New Jersey is close to selling more cookies than anyone in history thanks to her brutal reviews of the sweet treats that have gone viral.
    Employing brutally honest cookie reviews, skilled networking and aggressive sales tactics, 11-year-old Charlotte McCourt set a new Girl Scout cookie-selling world record by selling 21,477 boxes of cookies, shattering the 35 year old previous record.
    Originally, Charlotte was aiming to sell at least 300 boxes. As part of her effort, McCourt rated all of her cookies on a scale from 1 to 10, and included frankly worded reviews. She then emailed the rankings and reviews of her offerings to her dad's "rich" friend in hopes of swaying him to purchase a bulk of her 300-box goal.

      How many grams is there in one slice of wheat bread?

      If I'm not mistaken, you need to count by the grams of GLUTEN, not the gram weight of the bread. So, instead of counting each slice of bread as 35 grams, it would be counted as 2 grams, so that's why the recommendation is 5 slices a day = 10 grams. One of the moderators can correct me if I'm wrong on that!

      Advantages vs. Disadvantages of having an official Celiac diagnosis

      Question re: life/health insurance: if you're already under these policies, do you have to notify them if you receive an official diagnosis, or is that only for new policies? I have had two active term life insurance policies for many years that I pay a set amount into. And my employer covers my health insurance. So, do I need to let them both know if...

      Feeling ill

      Not knowing how long I have to wait for a hospital appointment for the intestine and biopsy seems to make things worse. The thing is if you have headaches you take pain killers, isn’t there anything that I can do?.
