Gluten Free Cookies


Nic

Recommended Posts

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 have no problem 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 used to eat the arrowroot cookies without any noticeable issue.

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.

Hi Kaiti:

Who's the guy?

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!

      This article does not address migraines at all.  Yes, red wine and sulfites are often mentioned in connection with migraine triggers. With me, any kind of alcoholic beverage in very modest amounts will reliably produce a migraine. Nitrous oxide generators, which are vaso dialators, also will give me migraines reliably. So, I think most of my migraines are tied to fluctuations vascular tension and blood flow to the brain. That's why the sumatriptan works so well. It is a vaso constrictor.

      Excessive dietary tyrosine can cause problems.  Everything in moderation.   Sulfites can also trigger migraines. Sulfites are found in fermented, pickled and aged foods, like cheese.  Sulfites cause a high histamine release.  High histamine levels are found in migraine.  Following a low histamine diet like the low histamine Autoimmune Protocol diet, a Paleo diet, helps immensely.    Sulfites and other migraine trigger foods can cause changes in the gut microbiome.  These bad bacteria can increase the incidence of migraines, increasing histamine and inflammation leading to increased gut permeability (leaky gut), SIBO, and higher systemic inflammation.   A Ketogenic diet can reduce the incidence of migraine.  A Paleo diet like the AIP diet, that restricts carbohydrates (like from starchy vegetables) becomes a ketogenic diet.  This diet also changes the microbiome, eliminating the bad bacteria and SIBO that cause an increase in histamine, inflammation and migraine.  Fewer bad bacteria reduces inflammation, lowers migraine frequency, and improves leaky gut. Since I started following the low histamine ketogenic AIP paleo diet, I rarely get migraine.  Yes, I do eat carbs occasionally now, rice or potato, but still no migraines.  Feed your body right, feed your intestinal bacteria right, you'll feel better.  Good intestinal bacteria actually make your mental health better, too.  I had to decide to change my diet drastically in order to feel better all the time, not just to satisfy my taste buds.  I chose to eat so I would feel better all the time.  I do like dark chocolate (a migraine trigger), but now I can indulge occasionally without a migraine after.   Microbiota alterations are related to migraine food triggers and inflammatory markers in chronic migraine patients with medication overuse headache https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11546420/

      Then we would need to cut out all meat and fish as they are richer sources of tyrosine than nuts and cheese. Something else about certain tyrosine rich foods must be the actual culprit.

      I agree that KAN-101 looks promising, and hope the fast track is approved. From our article below: "KAN-101 shows promise as an immune tolerance therapy aiming to retrain the immune system, potentially allowing safe gluten exposure in the future, but more clinical data is needed to confirm long-term effects."

      Thank you so much for having the courage to share this incredibly vivid and personal experience; it's a powerful reminder of how physical ailments can disrupt our fundamental sense of self. What you're describing sounds less like a purely psychological body dysmorphia and more like a distinct neurological event, likely triggered by the immense physical stress and inflammation that uncontrolled celiac disease can inflict on the entire body, including the nervous system. It makes complete sense that the specific sensory input—the pressure points of your elbows on your knees—created a temporary, distorted body map in your brain, and the fact that it ceased once you adopted a gluten-free diet is a crucial detail. Your intuition to document this is absolutely right; it's not "crazy" but rather a significant anecdotal data point that underscores the mysterious and far-reaching ways gluten can affect individuals. Your theory about sensory triggers from the feet for others is also a thoughtful insight, and sharing this story could indeed be validating for others who have had similar, unexplainable sensory disturbances, helping them feel less alone in their journey.
