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

      Draft gluten-free ciders… can they be trusted ?

      By Rejoicephd · Posted

      @Scott Adams That's actually exactly what I ended up asking for— vodka tonic with Titos.  I saw on their website that Tito's is certified gluten-free (maybe many of the clear vodkas are, I don't know, I just happened to look up Tito's in advance). I should have actually specified the 'splash' though, because I think with the amount of tonic she put in there, it did still end up fairly sweet.  Anyway, I think I've almost got this drink order down!

      Be interesting to see the effects of dairy reintroduction with gluten. As well as milk protein sensitivity in and of itself the casein part particularly has been shown to mimic gluten in about 50% of celiacs. Keep us posted!

      She has been dairy free for six years, so she’d already been dairy free for two years at her last testing and was dairy free for the entire gluten challenge this year as well (that had positive results). However, now that we’re doing another biopsy in six weeks, we decided to do everything we can to try to “see” the effects, so we decided this past week to add back in dairy temporarily for breakfast (milk and cereal combo like you said).

      How Come Gluten Didnt Bother Me In Italy

      By Gigi2025 · Posted

      Hi Christiana, Many thanks for your response.  Interestingly, I too cannot eat wheat in France without feeling effects (much less than in the US, but won't indulge nonetheless).  I also understand children are screened for celiac in Italy prior to starting their education. Wise idea as it seems my grandson has the beginning symptoms (several celiacs in his dad's family), but parents continue to think he's just being difficult.  Argh.  There's a test I took that diagnosed gluten sensitivity in 2014 via Entero Labs, and am planning on having done again.  Truth be told, I'm hoping it's the bromine/additives/preservatives as I miss breads and pastas terribly when home here in the states!  Be well and here's to our guts healing ❤️

      Lol that’s so true! Hope you get clarity, it’s tough when there’s doubt. There’s so much known about celiac disease with all the scientific research that’s been done so far yet practically and clinically there’s also so much unknown, still. Out of curiosity what’s her dairy consumption like? Even compared to early years to now? Has that changed? Calcium is dependent in the mechanism of antigen presenting cells in the gut. High calcium foods with gluten grains can initiate inflammation greater.  This is why breakfast cereals and milk combo long term can be a ticking time bomb for genetically susceptible celiacs (not a scientific statement by any means but my current personal opinion based on reasoning at present). Milk and wheat are the top culprits for food sensitivity. Especially in childhood. There are also patient cases of antibodies normalising in celiac children who had milk protein intolerance/ delayed type allergy. Some asymptomatic. There were a couple of cases of suspected celiacs that turned out to have milk protein intolerance that normalised antibodies on a gluten containing diet. Then there were others that only normalised antibodies once gluten and milk was eliminated. Milk kept the antibodies positive. Celiac disease is complicated to say the least.
