Smartcakes?

Does anyone eat Tangerine Smartcakes?  They were recommended to me - they look delicious, are low cal, low sugar and they are said to be made in a dedicated Gluten Free Facility.  However, one of the ingredients in Oat Fiber, but I don't see anything on there about these being Certified Oats.  Nor does the Gluten Free icon on the packaging indicated 'certified'.

I'll probably get in touch with the company to be sure before I order them, but thought I'd check here.

Thanks.

Technically, at least on the US, you aren’t supposed to list ingredients as “gluten-free oats” or “gluten-free whatever “.  some still do that.

the website says

Q. How can you guarantee that your products are gluten-free?
A. We have a strict dedicated gluten-free facility that manufactures only gluten-free products. All the ingredients that enter our facility are verified gluten-free.

It should be gluten free.  The cakes are designed for low carb dieters (keto, diabetics).  Just be careful with the substitute sugar — Erythritol.  Your body can not digest it, hence fewer calories.  Maybe not good for a person with GI issues.  Go slowly!

Few things to consider with those, 1. High fiber, if your not used to it there is going to be a adjustment period of bloat, gas, maybe constipation,
2. Erythritol, I use it daily but if you do not use sugar alcohols often there is again a adjustment phase for your gut normally causing diarrea
3. Whey Protein, many with celaiacs can have issues with various forms of dairy.

If you looking for a plain low carb bread look up Julian Bakery....for desserts that are GRAIN free low carb look up KNOWFoods....both better choices then the smart cakes but have some of the same issues.

Thank you, all -- I hadn't seen that on their website, about the "verified gluten free"; perhaps I read too quickly.

And thanks for the heads up about the possible issue - I definitely would have been freaked out by GI issues around eating them.  At least now I'll know.  And I'll look up this Julian Bakery.

^Low carb bread, muffins, waffles, cookies, etc. All low carb and keto friendly great for diabetics

*^ This is the only one I buy, grain free, low carb crust, and the plant based one is great, NOTE these make a New york style flat crust, I use 15 min prebake before adding toppings to make them extra crispy
Few things that might be of interest, OH and Protes makes low carb chips from vegan plant protein, they recently started selling them at some CVS stores...expenisve but the only chip other then my own I can enjoy now days.

      Actually, human agriculture only started 10-12,000 years ago, while the Neanderthals were gone by 30,000 years ago (and greatly diminished long before then).

      In addition to the other advice offered, perhaps you could identify some good recipes for gluten-free treats that you could make at home with your child, and maybe make a little fuss over how good gluten-free treats are. I regularly make gluten-free banana bread with different recipes that use buckwheat, garbanzo bean, etc flours, gluten-free ginger snaps...

      Scientists Make Major Advance in Autoimmune Disease Therapy

      The main use for leukapheresis is to mitigate (not cure) certain blood disorders, particulary certain types of blood cancer. It's kind of like "thinning the herd" when your body makes too many white blood cells. Doesn't fix the underlying problem, but it buys some time. The car-T people utilize the same technology to collect enough T cells (a type of...

      This Common Blood Pressure Drug Can Mimic Celiac Disease Symptoms

      Olmesartan is the ARB most strongly linked to sprue-like enteropathy, a condition that can closely mimic celiac disease with diarrhea, weight loss, villous atrophy, and often negative celiac blood tests. Some newer reports suggest this reaction may not be limited to olmesartan and could represent a possible ARB class effect, with cases reported for drugs...

      Symptoms Dismissed

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Chronic fatigue in the producer was the inspiration for the episode but I feel it touches on anyone that suffers and is dismissed as psycosomatic. The patient expressed my feelings elequently.  In episode 2 the doctor explains the problem well. I stopped all commercial milk protein like skim milk added to processed foods and in a few days there was a definate improvement in my  gut, bowel movements, discomfort etc. Still drinking several glasses of Pasture Fed grass fed milk with no negative effects.   Specifically, for myself Clonidine is the only medication that lowers my BP and the doctor did not renew it, insisting that I continue Losartan.  I think that she thinks I am abusing Clonidine and the reason the Losartan doesn't work is because I am non-compliant.  Absolutely not. Surprisingly after a few days withdrawal from the Clonidine my fasting blood sugar has gotten under control.  Fasting blood sugar near normal instead of over 160.  Last few days its been below 100.  I still need Glimiperide.  Without the clonidine my pulse rate is around 100 bpm, with it around 60.   Prescription of angiotensin receptor blockers in celiac disease is associated with persistent symptoms and surrogate markers of malabsorption.  https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC12323722/ Angiotensin receptor blocker-associated enteropathy (ARB-e) is an increasingly recognised clinical entity with symptoms and histological findings identical to coeliac disease (celiac disease). There is evidence to suggest immune-mediated mucosal injury in ARB-e with a high prevalence of DQ2/DQ8; however, as IgA anti-tissue transglutaminase (anti-TTG) is usually negative   https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1002/ueg2.12117 NEW research [Nov 2024] presented at the American College of Gastroenterology (ACG) Annual Scientific Meeting suggests that angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs), a class of drugs commonly used to manage hypertension, may be associated with poorer outcomes in patients with coeliac disease. Findings indicated that patients taking ARBs had a higher likelihood of experiencing persistent symptoms and markers of poor small bowel healing, such as anaemia and iron deficiency.  https://www.emjreviews.com/en-us/amj/gastroenterology/news/angiotensin-receptor-blockers-may-worsen-coeliac-disease-outcomes/

      Some inflammation in ileum with celiac?

      By mermaidluver22 · Posted

      @BarcinoHi! I am so sorry abt your son but also relieved to know I am not alone! My ttg iga is still mildly elevated but going down. Last time we checked I had some small erosions in my ileum but recently got an MRE that showed no inflammation. Calpro 70. We are still in limbo but we are taking a conservative approach as well. Please keep me updated about his situation and outcomes! I always love to hear others opinions/experiences especially ibd specialists.
