Different Flavored Macaroons - gluten-free, soy,corn-free too

I found a tasty treat in the clearance section of Price Chopper today.  Cans of macaroons.  The were marked down to $3.47 a can.  They are certified gluten-free and says so on the front of the can, but I also do not see soy, corn, or xanthan gum in the ingredients.  (I also noticed online they have a sugar-free one, but not sure what all the ingredients in that are).

I tried the chocolate, which are chewy and yummy, like the texture and flavor of a brownie with coconut in it.  Then I also tried the hazelnut chocolate.  Those didn't have much chocolate flavor at all to me, but I loved them.  They have a very nice hazelnut flavor. It seems like a nice substitute for a biscotti.  I am going to go back to the store tomorrow and pick up a few more cans since they are marked down. They seem to have a good seal on the cans and a plastic lid on top of that, so I am hoping they will store well.  

I looked up the brand online and found they have several flavors.  I'd like to try the almond, and also the carrot cake sometime. Other flavors are cappuccino chip, mint chocolate, and more. Here is the link - Open Original Shared Link 

It says you can buy them online at a few places, but amazon has some crazy, ridiculous prices for them.  A better place to order seems to be : Open Original Shared Link 

But you can also look in your local grocery stores.  I wouldn't be surprised if they are more common to buy in town during Passover or other Jewish holidays and if they are not in the gluten-free section of the store would probably be in the aisle with the other kosher, Jewish holiday items. (Then be sure to check after the holidays too, for clearance prices! :) )

I found the ingredients for the SUGAR FREE ones....click on the "food allergen and nutrition info" here - Open Original Shared Link

      Help with genetic testing

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      The genetic testing results you provided indicate that your child carries two copies of the HLA-DQ2.5 beta chain (DQ Beta 1 *02:01, *02:01), which is a high-risk genetic marker for celiac disease. However, the alpha chain (DQ Alpha 1 *05:01, *05) is only partially present, as HLA-DQ2.5 typically requires the alpha chain *05:01 paired with the beta chain 02:01. Since your child has two copies of the beta chain (02:01) but only one full *05:01 alpha allele (the other appears truncated as *05), this suggests they are heterozygous for HLA-DQ2.5 rather than homozygous. The term "permissive for celiac disease" means your child has genetic susceptibility but not necessarily the highest-risk genotype (homozygous DQ2.5). Since celiac disease development also depends on environmental triggers and other factors, further testing (such as antibody screening or biopsy) may be needed to confirm a diagnosis. Consulting a genetic counselor or gastroenterologist can help clarify these results and next steps.

      Finding gluten free ingredients

      As my doctor said, you don't have to eat breakfast food for breakfast.  I may have a leftover piece of chicken and left over squash or eggs or I am actually more likely to skip breakfast as I do intermittent fasting.  In that case I eat lunch around 11:30 and have some guacamole and a salad with chicken or tuna.  For dinner I have pork, shrimp, chicken, lamb, or turkey with half a baked sweet potato and some broccoli, green beans, beets, carrots or cauliflower.  I do not eat any grains on the advice of my doctor.  I do not eat commercially processed products, even if they say they are gluten-free.  I make Warrior Bread every few weeks.  It has no yeast and contains almond flour and dried sweet potato.  Very tasty too.  A good book to help in this regard is No Grain, No Pain by Peter Osborne.  Thankfully, I can eat coconut and nuts and use those flours in baking and also use nut milks in cooking.  Since I am allergic to chocolate and vanilla, lemon is my go to flavor for something sweet.  My migraines totally disappeared once I went gluten and casein free.  I can occasionally eat certain high fat cheeses that are low in casein, as well as grass fed butter.  I use lots of Organic Olive and Avocado oil. The problems I thought I had with nightshades went away when I went fully organic.  And, the rest of my issues went away by avoiding the foods I tested positive to as well as avoiding all grains. I will be the first one to say that it is a very expensive way of eating, but thankfully we can afford to eat that way.  The good news is that I take no prescription meds at age 72.  At 54 before diagnosis, I was a mess and on a boatload of pharmaceuticals.

      With that many foods removed from your diet, what do you eat?  I also have histamine issues and migraines so that takes out certain trigger foods and high histamine vegetables.  Have allergies to coconut and issues with nuts so those are out.  I'm beginning to think I may have to remove dairy and some of the grains beyond wheat to get allergies under control.  Just having so many issues figuring out what to make at meal times.  What's a typical breakfast look like for you?  Thanks.

      @Healthforme, No prescription needed for thiamine hydrochloride, Benfotiamine, and TTFD (Tetrahydrofurfuryl Disulfide).  They are available over the counter.   Thiamine Mononitrate is not recommended because the body doesn't absorb or utilize it well.
