Gluten Free Girl Scout Cookies

I was wondering if anyone has tried the gluten free Trios Girl Scout Cookies? They are certified gluten free, but the oats aspect makes me a bit nervous. Has anyone had a bad reaction or tried them and not had a reaction? I'm always on the lookout for treats for my three year old that has celiac, but I never give him anything that I'm not sure of. Thanks!

Ummm....I ate a whole bag :).  They were just OK. A friend gave them to me because her daughter is selling them. But, since I don't get too many symptoms, I'm not sure that's too helpful for you....

I am unsure where they source their oats, if they use the mechanical sorting method then I would not trust them. Some celiacs react to oats regardless of gluten in them or not. Since your child is just 3 your might be better off playing it safe for a few more years and sticking to safe grain free treats like Enjoy Life bars and cookies, Gerbs Dried Fruits (dates and figs are great for kids and dried papaya is like natures gummy bear). As a parent it is your call if you want to risk it or not.

if they claim to be " certified", they are testing for gluten.  I have had them and was fine.  

 

There is a gf brand of thin mint style cookies that are great.  I have gotten them at Walmart.  I think Trader Joe's has some, too.

My daughter is currently selling Girl Scout cookies.  The Trios are gluten free -- certified gluten free.  They are made in dedicated gluten free facility.   Hubby eats them.  I have eaten a few.  I have diabetes....dang, so consuming the whole package is not going to happen.  Consuming any cookies is not a good option for me.  My gluten-eating kid likes them!  

Thanks for supporting Girl Scouts!

      Thank you for your post, @nanny marley It is interesting what you say about 'It's OK not to sleep'. Worrying about sleeping only makes it much harder to sleep.  One of my relatives is an insomniac and I am sure that is part of the problem.  Whereas I once had a neighbour who, if she couldn't sleep, would simply get up again, make a cup of tea, read, do a sudoku or some other small task, and then go back to bed when she felt sleepy again.  I can't think it did her any harm - she lived  well into her nineties. Last week I decided to try a Floradix Magnesium supplement which seems to be helping me to sleep better.  It is a liquid magnesium supplement, so easy to take.  It is gluten free (unlike the Floradix iron supplement).  Might be worth a try.

      It could be a fructan intolerance? How do you do with dates?  https://www.dietvsdisease.org/sorry-your-gluten-sensitivity-is-actually-a-fructan-intolerance/

      Thank’s for addressing the issue of mushrooms.  I was under the impression that only wild mushrooms were gluten-free.  Have been avoiding cultivated mushrooms for years. Also, the issue of smoked food was informative.  In France last year, where there is hardly any prepared take-out food that is gluten-free, I tried smoked chicken.  Major mistake!

      my IGG is 815 IGA 203  but tTG-Iga is   <0.4!!!!!!!!!!!!!   oh my god- 13 days of agony and the test is negative?  I don't even know what to do next. There zero doubt in my mind that I have an issue with wheat and probably more so with gluten as symptoms are dramatically worse the more gluten a product has   I am going to write up the history of my issues for the past few years and start a food/symptom diary to bring with me to the GI doctor in March.   I googled like crazy to try to find out what other things might cause these symptoms and the only thing that truly fits besides celiac is NCGS   but I guess there are some other things I maybe should be tested for ...? like SIBO?   I will continue to eliminate any foods that cause me distress (as I have been doing for the past couple of years) and try to keep a record. Can anyone recommend an app or some form or something that would simplify this? I have a very full and busy life and taking the time to write out each symptom name in full would be tedious and time consuming- some sort of page with columns to check off would be ideal. I am not at all tech savvy so that's not something I can make myself ... I'm hoping there's some thing out there that I can just download and print out   do I give up on testing for celiac with such a low number? I am 70 yrs old I have been almost completely off gluten for the most part for about 2 yrs. I had a meal of vital wheat gluten vegan roast,  rolls and stuffing made from home baked bread and an apple pie- and had the worst pain and gas and bloating and odd rumblings in my gut etc - almost went to the ER it was so bad. I was thinking, since I'm spilling a lot of calcium in my urine, that perhaps this was a kidney stone (never had one before but there's always that first time, right?)    Saw my endo on Jan 20th and after hearing the story about the symptoms from eating that holiday meal, she suggested doing a gluten challenge. She said 2 weeks was fine- she said stopping it in the middle if symptoms got bad was fine- In the meantime I'd read that 2 weeks was not enough- called and argued with the nurse about this, but ultimately decided to stop the gluten on the 13th day and get the test done because I was in too much pain and almost suicidal and knew I could not continue.   so.............. that's where I am now I have had no bread since Sunday. I did have some rolled oats today and had some gas and bloating afterwards I did have some wheat germ in a smoothie on Tuesday and had a stomach ache later that night.   but overall I feel so much better! all the joint pain is gone! the nausea is gone. The stomach pain and gas and bloating are going away. Still a bit gassy but no more of that horrible odor. wow, that would clear a room if I was out in public!  I see a GI nurse March 4th  I hope she'll be able to help sort this out! can you think of what my next steps might be?
