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

      What you’re describing is actually very common, and unfortunately the timing of the biopsy likely explains the confusion. Yes, it is absolutely possible for the small intestine to heal enough in three months on a strict gluten-free diet to produce a normal or near-normal biopsy, especially when damage was mild to begin with. In contrast, celiac antibodies can stay elevated for many months or even years after gluten removal, so persistently high antibody levels alongside the celiac genes and clear nutrient deficiencies strongly point to celiac disease, even if you don’t feel symptoms. Many people with celiac are asymptomatic but still develop iron and vitamin deficiencies and silent intestinal damage. The lack of immediate symptoms makes it harder emotionally, but it doesn’t mean gluten isn’t harming you. Most specialists would consider this a case of celiac disease with a false-negative biopsy due to early healing rather than “something else,” and staying consistently gluten-free is what protects you long-term—even when your body doesn’t protest right away.

      Yes, I meant if you had celiac disease but went gluten-free before screening, your results would end up false-negative. As @trents mentioned, this can also happen when a total IGA test isn't done.

      I found at Disney springs and Disney they have specialist that when told about dietary restrictions they come and talk to you ,explain cross contamination measures tsken and work with you on choices. Its the one place I dont worry once I've explained I have celiac disease.  Thier gluten free options are awesome.

      Have you tried Pure Encapsulations supplements? This is a brand my doctor recommends for me. I have no issues with this brand.
