Gluten Free Cookies

I always used to buy the Mi-Del animal crackers and chocolate chip cookies for my son. We have not been able to find the animal crackers in the store where we shop lately. My mom happened to be at shop rite and bought a bag of the chocolate chip and ginger snaps. Now the bag is labeled "wheat free, gluten free" but then it says on the bag that the cookies are produced in a factory where wheat products are also produced. Is this OK? I thought that this would mean there is a chance for cross contamination. I'd like to know some of your opinions. Are you still going to eat this brand?

Mi-Del cookies have always been produced in a shared facility with products containing gluten... so far we haven't had any problems with them, but you will have to use your own judgement on this one. Personally, I don't think they are the best tasting cookies around, but my daughter LOVES them, so I get them for her... she is very sensitive to small amts. of gluten and they don't seem to bother her at all. (she reacts to Van's gluten-free waffles...)

My daughter loves the arrowroot cookies - we haven't had problems with them.

I used to enjoy their arrowroot and "oreo" type cookies, but always seemed to suffer mild symptons afterwards. I've switched to Kinikinick oreos (Only way to make cookies'n cream Ice cream) and I've been very happy. Those "processed in a facility..." warnings always scare me- ESPECIALLY when they claim gluten-free on the front...what gives? If you're not 100% sure then don't make the claim! Peoples' health is at stake for crying out loud!

I bought a bag of Mi-Del's cookies this past weekend and was reading the ingredients. These cookies are labeled as wheat free and gluten free. Under the ingredients is an allery warning stating that they were made in a factory that also produces wheat products. Doesn't that make them a cross contamination risk and therefore should not be labeled as gluten free?

I'm very sensitive and have no problem with them. There's another pretty current thread on these same cookies you might want to read.

Many well known gluten free companies still have that cross contamination risk. I have not run into a problem too much with the brands that have the cc risk. You see, they clean the lines in between but they put that there to cover their butt.

I LOVE Ener G vanilla choc. cream cookies. I just ordered two more packages. If you really need a chocolate fix I have melted choc. chips and dipped these in it and let it harden. YMMMMMM

I have always reacted to Mi-Del Cookies, exept for the oreo-style ones. Avoid them like the plague!

      The Happy Tart review

      When my wife attempted to open the online card in the store with a cashier, it would not work. We then showed the owner the link to the card, the online receipt that I got upon purchase, and even my bank statement confirming the purchase. That did not satisfy her, since she said she needed the link to open to reveal the gift ID num. They even admitted they...

      The Happy Tart review

      Was the card itself lost or just the record or both?

      The Happy Tart review

      We were flabergasted that the owner would not acknowledge a $50 e-gift card I purchased for my celiac wife. My wife tried to open it in the store and was informed there had been a system change and they could not find the record. No worries, she was told, just talk to management. Six months later, and numerous absurd back and forths, and the owner literally...

      Ibuprofen

      Yes, some people do get withdrawal from gluten but gluten withdrawal doesn't usually cause gut pain. Maybe more like general body aches and discomfort. We have articles on gluten withdrawal on this forum. You might do a search for them. Applesauce is very acidic and some brands have added vitamin C (ascorbic acid) which makes them more acidic. This can...

      Ibuprofen

      Do you or anyone know alot about ibuprofen I wasn't sure if I was eating too much apple sauce. Something is making my pain so much worse I'm referring to the intense pins and needles in my feet and lower legs. Jaw actually has tardive dystonia and muscle spasms throughout my back Almost like an opposite effect that a pain reliever...

Six months later, and numerous absurd back and forths, and the owner literally informs me there have been "bad actors", so she can't make good on this lost gift card. In other words, she accused me of lying and committing fraud... over $50! Please be careful with your orders and purchases here.

      Yes, some people do get withdrawal from gluten but gluten withdrawal doesn't usually cause gut pain. Maybe more like general body aches and discomfort. We have articles on gluten withdrawal on this forum. You might do a search for them. Applesauce is very acidic and some brands have added vitamin C (ascorbic acid) which makes them more acidic. This can damage the stomach lining if you eat it too often. Especially if your stomach lining is already compromised. Ibuprofen inhibits the body's ability to rebuild the stomach's protective mucosal lining. That's why it can cause peptic ulcers. As strange as it may sound, low level irritation/inflammation stimulates the body to rebuild the stomach lining. There are two steps in this rebuilding process known as COX 1 and COX 2. Ibuprofen represses both COX 1 and COX 2. Celecoxcib, a prescription anti inflammatory, inhibits only COX 2, making it less likely to cause damage to the gut lining.

      Do you or anyone know alot about ibuprofen  I wasn't sure if I was eating too much apple sauce.   Something is making my pain so much worse  I'm referring to the intense pins and needles in my feet and lower legs.  Jaw actually has tardive dystonia and muscle spasms throughout my back Almost like an opposite effect that a pain reliever would do. I'm fairly new to this. Whatever is going on seems to be worsening  Do people get a withdrawal effect from gluten?  It's extremely painful 😖  I'll post that question or research on the site  Thank you everyone for responding
