Mi-del's

Has anyone had a bad experience with Mi-Del cookies?

Lately I've been coming home from work every day with a bloated, painful belly and couldn't figure out why. I thought maybe it was the raw fruits and veggies I was eating.

So today I felt fine, ate 2 Mi-Del's and BAM now I'm all bloated and my tummy hurts! So I read the bag and they process wheat in the same facility.

GRRRR.

Just curious if this happened to anyone else.

We have not had problems. But I know someone who did but they had accidently picked up a regular bag and not gluten-free ones! Hope you feel better!

I looked at them, but did not buy because they use soy flour. Parhaps you are sensitive to soy?

in the past i've had no problems. which ones are you eating?

The gluten free pecan ones. I've eaten them in the past with no problem, but I'm wondering if this bag is bad because I've had problems since last week when I opened it.

I threw them out. Funny how I used to freak out about wasting food, but now I'm so quick to throw things out if it's gross or if it bothers my stomach...

I have not had problems with them, but they have dairy, so I haven't had that particular variety.

If you look at the back of the bag you will see not only gluten-free varieties listed, but a "wheat-free" one as well - this wheat-free-but-non-gluten-free flavor is run on the same lines as the gluten-free ones.

I have tried mi dels, don't like them, felt queasy aftter eating them so, I won't buy them again. However, I am not going to sue them.

I am so sorry you are not feeling well. I have had several different types of Mi-del cookies without problems.

Their gluten free and their regular cookie bags look almost the same. I bought the gluten free ginger snaps but I'm certain they bothered me. They also fall apart horribly, and I've had much better, so I won't buy Mi-Del again.

A couple of years ago the company got in trouble with the governement (Canadian, I believe) because their gluten free cookies were contaminated. I got terribly ill from them a couple years back and haven't tried them since they put the warning on the back. Good luck and hope you're feeling better-if you think they're making you sick, then by all means, don't eat them!

      Hello, My 17 yr old daughter was diagnosed with celiac disease 2 yrs ago. She does not have gum disease and no history of cavities. Her dentist is recommending braces for her lower teeth but I read it may worsen gum recession or possibly increase cavity risk which I know are already issues for patients with celiac. Has anyone here had braces and did it cause any problems or issues with gum recession?  Her dentist seemed oblivious that celiac patients are at higher risk of gum disease /cavities. Her bottom teeth are crooked but are pretty hidden even when she smiles. Thank you!!

      This is a common experience across the board with various brands of gluten-free bread products. Prices go up, size goes down. Removal of the egg component may be for the purpose of cost-cutting related to bird flu supply shortages or it may be catering to those with egg allergy/sensitivity, fairly common in the celiac community.

      Living with Coeliac Disease since birth, Bread has always been an issue, never too nice, small slices and always overpriced, But Sainsbury's Free From White Sliced Bread seemed to me to be an exception with it's large uniform 12 x 12cm slices that had the bounce, texture and taste of white bread even after toasting with no issue that it was also Milk Free. Unfortunately Sainsbury's have changed the recipe and have made it 'Egg Free' too and it has lost everything that made the original loaf so unique. Now the loaf is unevenly risen with 8 x 8cm slices at best, having lost it's bounce with the texture dense and cake like after toasting resembling nothing like White Bread anymore. Unsure as to why they have had to make it 'Egg Free' as the price is the same at £1.90 a loaf. Anyone else experiencing the same issue with it? - also any recommendations for White Bread that isn't prescription? / Tesco's / Asda's are ok but Sainsbury's was superior.

      Years  ago a friend and I drove north into Canada hoping to find a ski resort open in late spring,We were in my VW and found a small ski area near a small town and started up this gravelled road up a mountain. We  got about halfway up and got stuck in the mud. We tried everything we could think of but an hour later we were still stuck. Finally a pickup came down the road, laughed at our situation, then pulled the VW free of the mud. We followed him back to the ski area where where he started up the rope ski lift and we had an enjoyable hour of skiing and gave us a shot of aquavit  before we left.It was a great rescue.  In some ways this reminds me of your situation. You are waiting for a rescue and you have chosen medical practitioners to do it now or as soon as possible. As you have found out the med. experts have not learned how to help you. You face years of continuing to feel horrible, frustrated searching for your rescuer to save you. You can break away from from this pattern of thinking and you have begun breaking  away by using some herbs and supplements from doTerra. Now you can start trying some of the suggestions thatother Celiacs have written to your original posts.  You live with other people who eat gluten foods. Cross contamination is very possible. Are you sure that their food is completely separate from their food. It  is not only the gluten grains you need to avoid (wheat, barley, rye) but possibly oats, cows milk also. Whenever you fall back into that angry and frustrated way of thinking get up and walk around for a whild. You will learn ways to break that way of thinking about your problems.  Best wishes for your future. May you enjpy a better life.

      Thanks for responding. I researched further and Lindt Lindor chocolate balls do contain barely malt powder which contains gluten. I was surprised at all of the conflicting information I found when I checked online.
