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.

*^ 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.

      It looks like "mannite" is another name for "mannitol": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mannitol You are correct that it can trigger IBS-like symptoms, as we recently did an article on this: I'm not sure if there is a way around this, as it is likely needed for the test. Perhaps contact your doctor to see if there might be an alternative?

      Oral drink: You will be given a solution of mannitol mixed with water to drink over a period of about 30-60 minutes this is what it says it is ,?

      Brilliant thankyou for the information I will contact them tomorrow, I was just concerned because I'm already in a bowel flare too , and I didn't want to take anything that would cause me more issues , especially with the way sweeteners make be feel I've had a really bad throat from this type of stuff before , and it upsets my digestive system too and I have a wedding in a week 😳

      There is no scientific evidence to suggest that hydrated silica or its relative, silicon dioxide, triggers a celiac-specific immune response or causes intestinal damage in individuals with the condition. The concern you likely encountered online is a common misconception. Here’s the key distinction: the protein in gluten (gliadin) is what causes the autoimmune reaction in celiac disease. Hydrated silica and silicon dioxide are minerals, chemically inert compounds of silicon and oxygen, and are completely unrelated to gluten proteins. They are widely used as abrasives in toothpaste and anti-caking agents in food powders because they are stable and non-reactive. While any individual can have a unique sensitivity to any substance, there is no mechanism by which these silica compounds would mimic gluten or exacerbate celiac disease. Your diligence in using a certified gluten-free toothpaste is the correct and most important step, as it eliminates the risk of cross-contamination with wheat-derived ingredients like starch. Based on current scientific understanding, the hydrated silica in your toothpaste is not an issue for your celiac management.
