I noticed that Whole Foods stocks big bags of Glutino Pretzles but at $5. I wanted to ask if anyone has tasted them and if they taste anything like real pretzles. I've spent so much on gluten free snacks that were so bad that I've only eaten them one time. Thanks!

I LOVE these pretzels! I don't buy them often because of the expense. Even my gluten-eating friends always grab some out of my bag. I think they are worth buying, but I do wish they were cheaper so I could have them more often.

$5.00 sounds like a good price to me--- I pay $6.99 a bag. All of my family gluten-free & non gluten-free love them. They I think are actually better than the wheat ones.I put hersey kisses in between two of them heat in oven ---makes a great treat for the kids.

Stawberry pretzel salad is another good one..

In my opinion, glutino pretzels are the best out there!! Before I went gluten-free I was a pretzel fiend, I was soooo happy to find these (happy dance moment!)! I prefer them to the gluten-filled variety (so do my friends but they have to sneak them because they're mine :P).

And $5 a bag?? I usually pay around $8 :o

If you like pretzels at all, BUY THEM!! You won't be sorry :D

WOW! I'm so glad to hear what you all said! I might've understated the price - I know when I saw the $5 in the price I didn't look to see how much it was exactly. It's just so annoying to pay these prices when everone else pays .99 for a bag of ordinary pretzles.

You were all right!!!!!!!

I bought them this week and they are GREAT!

They were $5.99 but it is a big bag and if I don't eat too many at one time it will last a while.

I guess I must be an oddball! I tried the Glutino pretzels last year and thought they were disgusting! I threw them out. Looks like I am the only person who doesn't love them!!!

The EnerG sesame ones are my favorite. Glutinos are ok, but have found I prefer EnerG. I also like that they come in smaller bags and easy for snacking on trips and carpooling and etc....

glutino pretzels can be bought on amazon .com in bulk --- you end up paying less than 5 dollars a bag which for me was excellent since I can only get them for 6.99 at the cheapest! I love the pretzels and I'm more than happy to have tons - my fiance eats them on me and drives me nuts!

Kinda off topic here but has anyone tired the Glutino break bar? It tastes just like a kit kat! Its so good that I checked the labeling again just make sure I'd read it correctly. I think I'm really lucky to get them, as I know of only one health food shop in my area that get them in (It don't think it is a common brand here in Aus) I also wanted to as if anyone has tired there savoury biscuits, the health food shop sells them in pack of 3 or 4 wich would be perfect for me as the other brand similar biscuits I buy end up going off before I can eat them. Grateful for anyones thoughts! esp on the chocie bar ( I am just ever so slightly obsessed)

All those gluten-free pretzels are great in "Chex mix" made with Rice Crunchems and Corn crunchems and some mixed nuts. One of these days I'm going to make some chocolate covered ones for that sweet/salty combo I miss. Or just melt some chocolate chips in the microwave and dunk them as I eat.

I just had to post to this one. Recently diagnosed Celiac, first time poster. My sister and 2 nieces also have it. I have only been able to find these in a little health food store in Evansville IN ( I go through there to get to my sisters'). I usually have to pay about 7.00 or 8.00 dollars for them. They are excellent.

I always save some back and use them in my meatloaf. My husband (non-celiac) has said he loves the meatloaf with the Glutino preztels in them better than when I made my meatloaf with crackers.

I also use them for a crunchy crust for casseroles. There are a 101 uses for them.

I love these pretzels. I put plain cream cheese on them. It tastes just like a bagel.

      how much gluten do I need to eat before blood tests?

      oh that's interesting... it's hard to say for sure but it has *seemed* like oats might be causing me some vague issues in the past few months. It's odd that I never really connect specific symptoms to foods, it's more of an all over feeling of unwellness after eating them. If it happens a few times after eating the same foods- I cut back...

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @SilkieFairy! You could also have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) as opposed to celiac disease. They share many of the same symptoms, especially the GI ones. There is no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out.

      Under the circumstances, your decision to have the testing done on day 14 sounds very reasonable. But I think by now you know for certain that you either have celiac disease or NCGS and either way you absolutely need to eliminate gluten from your diet. I don't think you have to have an official diagnosis of celiac disease to leverage gluten free service in...

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      After the birth of my daughter nearly 6 years ago, my stools changed. They became thin if they happened to be solid (which was rare) but most of the time it was Bristol #6 (very loose and 6-8x a day). I was on various medications and put it down to that. A few years later I went on this strict "fruit and meat" diet where I just ate meat, fruit, and squash...

      oh that's interesting... it's hard to say for sure but it has *seemed* like oats might be causing me some vague issues in the past few months. It's odd that I never really connect specific symptoms to foods, it's more of an all over feeling of unwellness after  eating them.  If it happens a few times after eating the same foods- I cut back or avoid them. for this reason I avoid dairy and eggs.  So far this has worked well for me.  oh, I have some of Bob's Red Mill Mighty Tasty Hot cereal and I love it! it's hard to find but I will be looking for more.  for the next few weeks I'm going to be concentrating on whole fresh fruits and veggies and beans and nuts and seeds. I'll have to find out if grains are truly necessary in our diet. I buy brown rice pasta but only eat that maybe once a month at most. Never liked quinoa. And all the other exotic sounding grains seem to be time consuming to prepare. Something to look at later. I love beans and to me they provide the heft and calories that make me feel full for a lot longer than a big bowl of broccoli or other veggies. I can't even tolerate the plant milks right now.  I have reached out to the endo for guidance regarding calcium intake - she wants me to consume 1000mgs from food daily and I'm not able to get to more than 600mgs right now.  not supposed to use a supplement until after my next round of testing for hyperparathyroidism.   thanks again- you seem to know quite a bit about celiac.

But I think by now you know for certain that you either have celiac disease or NCGS and either way you absolutely need to eliminate gluten from your diet. I don't think you have to have an official diagnosis of celiac disease to leverage gluten free service in hospitals or institutional care and I'm guessing your physician would be willing to grant you a diagnosis of gluten sensitivity (NCGS) even if your celiac testing comes up negative. Also, you need to be aware that oats (even gluten free oats) is a common cross reactor in the celiac community. Oat protein (avenin) is similar to gluten. You might want to look at some other gluten free hot  breakfast cereal alternatives.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      After the birth of my daughter nearly 6 years ago, my stools changed. They became thin if they happened to be solid (which was rare) but most of the time it was Bristol #6 (very loose and 6-8x a day). I was on various medications and put it down to that. A few years later I went on this strict "fruit and meat" diet where I just ate meat, fruit, and squash vegetables. I noticed my stools were suddenly formed, if a bit narrow. I knew then that the diarrhea was probably food related not medication related. I tried following the fodmap diet but honestly it was just too complicated, I just lived with pooping 8x a day and wondering how I'd ever get and keep a job once my children were in school.  This past December I got my yearly bloodwork and my triglycerides were high. I looked into Dr. William Davis (wheat belly author) and he recommended going off wheat and other grains. This is the first time in my life I was reading labels to make sure there was no wheat. Within 2 weeks, not only were my stools formed and firm but I was only pooping twice a day, beautiful formed Bristol #4.  Dr. Davis allows some legumes, so I went ahead and added red lentils and beans. Nervous that the diarrhea would come back if I had IBS-D. Not only did it not come back, it just made my stools even bigger and beautiful. Still formed just with a lot more width and bulk. I've also been eating a lot of plant food like tofu, mushrooms, bell peppers, hummus etc which I thought was the cause of my diarrhea before and still, my stools are formed. In January I ran a genetics test because I knew you had to have the genes for celiac. The report came back with  DQ 2.2 plus other markers that I guess are necessary in order for it to be possible to have celiac. Apparently DQ 2.2 is the "rarer" kind but based on my report it's genetically possible for me to have celiac.  I know the next step is to bring gluten back so I can get testing but I am just not wanting to do that. After suffering with diarrhea for years I can't bring myself to do it right now. So that is where I am!
