Today while shopping in my meager section of gluten free in my supermarket.. which by the way.. puts Bobs gluten free flours in the section.. right next to the bags of vital wheat gluten... DUH... I will be speaking to them about that.. anywhooo.. They brought in the small 2 cookie packs of Enjoy Life cookies.. the snickerdoodles and chocolate chip cookies.

Welll since I had Colin with me and the cookies were only 99 cents.. I bought the snickerdoodles.. they were great! I really liked them.. the first premade cookies that I actually like! Colin absoultely loved them.

I just thought I would share this in case anyone else came across them to try. I didnt try the chocolate chip ones as I make them at home and they are darn good and cheaper that way.

They are pretty good for a grab-n-go. I think homemade are better, but eat their cookies alot. The new chocolate brownie fudgey ones (whatever they are called!) are good too!

My dd loves those snickerdoodle cookies too. I splurged and bought a case of those little snack packs to send to school for the birthday treats. Cost a fortune, but every one else gets what they want so I didn't want her to feel deprived.

I just came here to post about the double chocolate brownie. Delish! I may eat the whole box here at work today.

I'm psyched my milk protein intolerant daughter can enjoy them too!

be careful with the snickerdoodels, not sure what ingrediant it is in them, but about 1 out of 6 cookies have hard lumps in them and when i say hard i meen i litterly chipped a tooth on one about 2 weeks ago, emailed the company and they apoligized and sent me some cupons but i figured i would warn. never had a problem with any of there other cookies though

the best are the double chocolate fudge, i mush them up into my rice dream icecream mmmm

The snickerdoodles are good, but everybody at work agreed that the "no-oats oatmeal" are one of the most disgusting unreasonable facsimilies of cookies ever put together. We called them the "no-shellfish" cookies since that's one of their claims on every package.

Hey now I have to come to the "No Oats" cookies' defense!

Everyone's taste is different, I guess, b/c I LOVE those cookies. The trick is warming them up! And then I really discovered how much I liked them when I topped them with creamed cheese icing!

I have to come to the "no oats oatmeal cookie" defense too, my daughter and I love them, we k they are quite yummy. I also love their cereal/snack bars, my fave are the caramel apple and the very berry, but we don't like their granola either.

I tried one flavor of the Enjoy Life cookies and they were gross! I swear they tasted like sweet playdoh. I keep hearing everyone rave about them here, so I decided to try them. I tried warming them up, but that didn't help either. Thankfully my son liked them, so it wasnt' a total waste.

      Thank you all for sharing your experiences! And I am very thankful for that Thanksgiving article, Scott! I will look into it more as I plan my little dinner to bring with on the Holiday I'm also glad a lot of research has been done for Celiac. There's still a lot to learn and discover. And everyone has different symptoms. For me, I get a bad headache...

      As far as I know and I have made severalonline searches, celiac disease disease has not been recognized as a cause of migraines or any eye problems. What I wrote must have been confusing.

      There is much helpful 'truth' posted on this forum. Truths about Celiac Disease are based on scientific research and people's experience. Celiac disease is inherited. There are 2 main Celiac 'genes' but they are variations of one gene called HLa - DQ What is inherited when a person inherits one or both of the DQ2 or the DQ8 is a predisposition to develop celiac disease after exposure to a environmental trigger. These 2 versions of the DQ gene are useful in diagnosing  celiac disease but there are about 25 other genes that are known to influence celiac disease so this food intolerance is a multigenic autoimmune disease. So with so many genes involved and each person inheriting a different array of these other genes one person's symptoms may be different than another's symptoms.  so many of these other genes.  I don't think that much research on these other genes as yet. So first I wrote something that seem to tie together celiac disease and migraines.  Then you posted that you had migraines and since you went gluten free they only come back when you are glutened. Then Scott showed an article that reported no connection between migraines and celiac disease, Then Trents wrote that it was possible that celiacs had more migraines  and some believed there was a causal effect. You are each telling the truth as you know it or experienced it.

      Aldi Pueblo Lindo Yellow Corn Tortillas

      By tiffanygosci · Posted

      Another annoying thing about trying to figure this Celiac life out is reading all of the labels and considering every choice. I shop at Aldi every week and have been for years. I was just officially diagnosed Celiac a couple weeks ago this October after my endoscopy. I've been encouraged by my local Aldi in that they have a lot of gluten free products and clearly labeled foods. I usually buy Milagro corn tortillas because they are cheap and are certified. However, I bought a package of Aldi's Pueblo Lindo Yellow Corn Tortillas without looking too closely (I was assuming they were fine... assuming never gets us anywhere good lol) it doesn't list any wheat products and doesn't say it was processed in a facility with wheat. It has a label that it's lactose free (hello, what?? When has dairy ever been in a tortilla?) Just, ugh. If they can add that label then why can't they just say something is gluten free or not? I did eat some of the tortillas and didn't notice any symptoms but I'm just not sure if it's safe. So I'll probably have to let my family eat them and stick with Milagro. There is way too much uncertainty with this but I guess you just have to stick with the clearly labeled products? I am still learning!

I will look into it more as I plan my little dinner to bring with on the Holiday I'm also glad a lot of research has been done for Celiac. There's still a lot to learn and discover. And everyone has different symptoms. For me, I get a bad headache right away after eating gluten. Reoccurring migraines and visual disturbances were actually what got my PCP to order a Celiac Panel. I'm glad he did! I feel like when the inflammation hits my body it targets my head, gut, and lower back. I'm still figuring things out but that's what I've noticed after eating gluten! I have been eating gluten-free for almost two months now and haven't had such severe symptoms. I ate a couple accidents along the way but I'm doing a lot better

"Researchers comparing rates of headaches, including migraines, among celiac patients and a healthy control group showed that celiac subjects experienced higher rates of headaches than control subjects, with the greatest rates of migraines found in celiac women.  Additionally, celiacs had higher rates of migraine than control subjects, especially in women. In fact, four out of five women with celiac disease suffered from migraines, and without aura nearly three-quarters of the time."
