Just wanted to let all know that I came across these cookies at a Wegman's Grocery . I bought the Lemon & vanilla ones and they were a hit! Soft and light as air with a very good taste. I know they have several flavors , I tried this one so far. They are not a sandwich cookie but a round cookie .The grandkids loved them. I have to ration them as four of us could eat a bag pretty quickly.

I hear alot of you like the Nana's bars and I love the flavor but Ithink they are so dry and crumbly they could choke someone.I wanted to write to them and ask if they could make them a little moist!!!!

The fortitude is one of the softest I have tried to date.I know when I find them again I will buy more than one pkg. I was 1 1/2 hours from home when I happened upon these.

These may not be new but new to my area ....

Has anyone tried the crackers? I've looked at them several times, but I was so disappointed with the Ener-G crackers that I was hesitant to try them...

I LOVE the Lemon-Vanilla fortitude cookies! I go through a bag every couple of days...very addicting and pretty low in calorie too! I have had the Cinnamon/Orange and the Ginger Spice as well. THose are yummy but I am partial to the Lemon-Vanilla..

The crackers are very much like melba toast...they do not have much flavor but are good if you are looking for a melba toast-like cracker for dipping and or for putting stuff on...

My sister puts a little Pillsbury vanilla frosting on top! I have not tried that yet, but sounds very yummy (I am a sugar addict!)

I did buy a box of the plain casaba crackers and wasn't to impressed. In another section someone said they used them to make thin mint cookies. I couldn't remember what they reminded me of but melba toast is it. Thanks for reminding me as it's been so long I forgot.. They do have a few flavored ones but the store only carried the plain ones... For crackers I love the ranch nut thins. I haven't found to many crackers I love.....

I'm glad there are others who could eat the whole bag besides me, now I won't feel so bad when I do it.

PS If you are doing the thin mint cookies try the BiAglut with the scalloped edges.

      Celiac disease is the most likely cause, but here are articles about the other possible causes:

      Increased intraepithelial lymphocytes after 10 yrs gluten-free

      By cristiana · Posted

      Hi @Atl222 As @trents points out, there could be many reasons for this biopsy result.  I am interested to know, is your gastroenterologist concerned?  Also, are your blood tests showing steady improvement over the years? I remember when I had my last biopsy, several years after diagnosis, mine came back with with raised lymphocytes but no villous damage, too! In my own case, my consultant wasn't remotely concerned - in fact, he said I might still get this result even if all I ever did was eat nothing but rice and water.   My coeliac blood tests were still steadily improving, albeit slowly, which was reassuring.

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @Atl222! Yes, your increased lymphocytes could be in response to oats or it could possibly be cross contamination from gluten that is getting into your diet from some unexpected source but not enough to damage the villi. And I'm certain that increased lymphocytes can be caused by other things besides celiac disease or gluten/oats exposure. See attachment. But you might try eliminating oats to start with and possibly dairy for a few months and then seek another endoscopy/biopsy to see if there was a reduction in lymphocyte counts.

      Brown Rice Vinegar (organic) from Eden Foods is likely gluten free

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      This is a solid, well-reasoned approach. You’re right that “koji” by itself doesn’t indicate gluten status, and the risk really does come down to which grain is used to culture it. The fact that you directly contacted Eden Foods and received a clear statement that their koji is made from rice only, with no wheat or barley, is meaningful due diligence—especially since Eden has a long-standing reputation for transparency. While the lack of gluten labeling can understandably give pause, manufacturer confirmation like this is often what people rely on for traditionally fermented products. As always, trusting your body after trying it is reasonable, but based on the information you gathered, your conclusion makes sense.
