Italian Cookies

We recently had my counsins confirmation party and my aunt went to a bakery in Summit, NJ for the cake. She asked the baker if they serve anything that might be gluten free. The baker in turn asked if this was for a person with Celiac Disease. She said that their is a family of Celiacs in town that shop there. She said that pinyoly cookies (I am sure I did not spell that correctly, my Italian grandmother is probably shaking her finger at me :P ) are gluten free because they are made with almond paste and not flour. She also said they happen to make a flourless chocolate cake. I never thought to look in a bakery for gluten free food. Just thought I would pass this on.

True! Pignoli cookies are gluten-free by their very nature! Here's a recipe: Open Original Shared Link

I personally wouldn't eat them from the bakery though because cc is a guarantee with all that loose flour flying around...

Speaking of italian cookies...Does anyone know of a recipe for half moon/black & white cookies? I had a gluteny one from a "NY" deli here and it was gross. I miss my half moons from Syracuse :(

Anytime we go to Syracuse, we have to bring a dozen back for my older son! The ones from Syr. are unlike any we've had anywhere else. Harrison Bakery made the BEST halfmoons! ;)

Mmmmm....Harrison.....

You know, I could just eat my way from Westcott St. down to Armory Square. Start at Dorians and make my way down to Pastabilities...

Of course, all of that is full of gluten <_<

I don't have a recipe, but I enjoyed the black & white cookies from the gluten-free bread basket in Chester NY (www.gfbreadbasket.com). It was actually kind of funny, because my mom had gone shopping there for me. All I really wanted was some bagels (Mom was coming to watch me compete at a gymnastics meet for college, so it's not like I had access to a freezer to store the stuff in). But when my mom got there, she's lugging a mini-refrigerator (it can hold like 6 cans of soda). She'd gone to the bakery, got my bagels, saw peanut butter cookies (I'm not a cookie/dessert person, but my dad makes the best PB cookies, and that's something I cannot resist!), so she got them. Then she got some muffins. And then the woman that owns the bakery said that she couldn't possibly leave without a black and white cookie.... all college students love them. So into the bag went one of those! The black and white cookie was a good replacement for the ones I remember getting in the supermarket as a little kid, one of the best gluten-free cookies I've tasted.

Unfortunately, the cookie is not listed on their website, but I'm sure if you email/call them, they'd figure something out. I don't remember that being a specialty item! And I have to say, their PB cookies taste like the real deal.... it's a good thing my gymnastics coach doesn't care what we eat. I ate soooo many cookies that night ! haha. But come on, it was the first cookies I'd had in I don't know how long!

      Celiac getting dentures

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Your experience is both shocking and critically important for the community to hear, underscoring the terrifying reality that cross-contamination can extend into the most unexpected and invasive medical devices. It is absolutely devastating that you had to endure six months of sickness and ultimately sustain permanent vision loss because a doctor dismissed your legitimate, life-altering condition. Your relentless research and advocacy, from discovering the gluten in MMA acrylic to finding a compassionate prosthodontist, is a testament to your strength in a system that often fails celiac patients. While the scientific and medical consensus is that gluten cannot be absorbed through the skin or eyes (as the molecules are too large to pass through these barriers), your story highlights a terrifying gray area: what about a substance *permanently implanted inside the body*, where it could potentially shed microparticles or cause a localized immune reaction? Your powerful warning about acrylic lenses and the drastic difference with the silicone alternative is invaluable information. Thank you for sharing your harrowing journey and the specific, severe neurological symptoms you endure; it is a stark reminder that celiac is a systemic disease, and your advocacy is undoubtedly saving others from similar trauma.

      Fighting for a name

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I am so sorry you're going through this bad experience--it's difficult when your own lived reality of cause and effect is dismissed by the very professionals meant to help you. You are absolutely right—your violent physical reactions are not "what you think," but undeniable data points, and it's a form of medical gaslighting to be told otherwise, especially when you have a positive HLA-DQ2 gene and a clear clinical picture. Since your current "celiac specialist" is not addressing the core issue or your related conditions like SIBO and chronic fatigue, it may be time for a strategic pivot. Instead of trying to "reprove" your celiac disease to unwilling ears, consider seeking out a new gastroenterologist or functional medicine doctor, and frame the conversation around managing the complications of a confirmed gluten-free diet for celiac disease. Go in and say, "I have celiac disease, am strictly gluten-free, but I am still suffering from these specific complications: SIBO, chronic fatigue, dermatological issues, and high blood pressure linked to pain. I need a partner to help me address these related conditions." This shifts the focus from a debate about your diagnosis to a collaborative plan for your current suffering, which is the help you truly need and deserve to work toward bouncing back.

      Hello, no I had to have them re done and then used a liner over the top.  Many dentists are not aware of the celiac effects.  Best of luck.   There is other material, yet, very expensive.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      He is not just a psychiatrist.  He is also a neuroscientist.  And yes, I have already read those studies.   I agree with benfotiamine.  This is short term while glutened/inflammation occurs.  As I had already mentioned, these symptoms no longer exist when this phase passes.  And yes, I know that celiac is a disease of malnutrition.  We are working with a naturopath.
