Found A Great Cookie!

I don't live in a state with even one of the big health food stores. So it's slim pickings around here for daily shopping. But I was visiting out of state recently and found a new cookie in a Wild Oats. I am usually so cautious with what I buy and eat, that I'm almost afraid to mention it on here for fear that I have overlooked something. But these are individually wrapped large cookies and I bought 3 varieties: Ginger, Chocolate Crunch and Lemon. They are called Nana's No Gluten Cookie. They really taste GREAT and meet my very strict allergy requirements - no eggs, no dairy, no refined sugar, no gluten, no corn, no soy, no hydrogenated oils. They are even sweetened with fruit juice.

I guess I'm excited because I can find almost nothing premade that meets all my restrictions and actually TASTES GOOD at the same time. :)

Those things are so expensive but you should treat yourself every so often. I learned how to make some cookies that are way better than anything I have found so far. However, I was at a walk for autism because one of our friends has a kid with autism and they had gluten free cookies and there was a Pamela's I believe mint chocolate chip and I tell you those things I think were the best gluten free cookies I have yet to try.

Love Nana's cookies!!! My favorite is the lemon. The banana in the bar style are also very yummy. I agree, a bit expensive, but a fun treat for sometimes.

I havent tried Nanas yet. My newest gluten free store in the area carries them. I will have to pick one up. I do, however, agree about Pamelas. I just dont like any of her cookies so far.

The ginger cookie is Nana's best in my opinion. The lemon is great too. The chocolate one needs more chocolate intensity. They are cake-like cookies and not chewy ones. Good with a cup of hot tea.

I recently had a Jennies coconut macaroon...$.75 They also have a carob one. gluten-free DF and it is pretty big very moist. Individually wrapped so I'm not tempted to eat a box....

No, only some of them. They clearly say Gluten Free on the front. The others just say wheat free or nothing. I think they only have lemon, chocolate, chocolate crunch and ginger gluten free ones in the big cookies and banana and berry in the bar packs. That's what I've seen, anyway.

i love the choclate crunch ones!! they are my fav!!

they make some gluten-free ones and some non gluten-free.. but they clearly label them on the front.

i got my husband a brownie mint one but he still hasnt eaten it and i dont like mint so i cant give you a report on that flavor!

ive never had any pamelas because they all have eggs in them, thats why we love the nana no's ones!!

Hi

No, not all Nana's cookies are gluten-free

The pre-packaged cookies that come 4-5 to a box are, in my opinion nasty....they make a chocolate, banana and very berry

The large Nana individual cookies are pricey..I think a little over $2.00 at our WF but tasty and worth it as a treat

I need to get in the kitchen and make something...LOL

      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

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D. The dramatic, rapid normalization of stool frequency and form after removing wheat, along with improved tolerance of legumes and plant foods, is a classic pattern seen in gluten-driven disease rather than functional IBS. IBS usually worsens with fiber and beans, not improves. The fact that you carry HLA-DQ2.2 means celiac disease is absolutely possible, even if it’s less common than DQ2.5, and many people with DQ2.2 present later and are under-diagnosed. Your hesitation to reintroduce gluten is completely understandable — quality of life matters — and many people in your position choose to remain strictly gluten-free and treat it as medically necessary even without formal biopsy confirmation. If and when you’re ready, a physician can help you weigh options like limited gluten challenge, serology history, or documentation as “probable celiac.” What’s clear is that this wasn’t just random IBS — you identified the trigger, and your body has been very consistent in its response.

      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.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      By trents · Posted

      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.

      By trents · Posted

      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 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.
