Well, I've never liked them, so this is one thing I won't miss (the same goes for Oreo cookies, always hated them :rolleyes: ).

Well, I did like those samoas (however that's spelled), but I've never really had much of a sweet tooth. Still, I'm planning on attempting to duplicate the recipe one of these days.

What I'd really like now and then however, is a box of gluten-free Triscuits.

I was just diagnosed in January And I really miss girl scout cookies...My oldest daughter came home the other day from work and said "look what I bought for everyone." She had a half a dozen boxes of cookies in a bag. I was not a happy camper

My 10 yr. old daughter is a girl scout and has Celiac and we had to sell a hundred boxes. I just left them in my car so my husband and her did not have to see them. This was there first year of not being able to eat them. It made her a little depressed :(

Yes, no Girl Scout Cookies is a major downer :( However there is a thread in the Cooking and Baking tips Forum that has recipes or links to duplicate the Samoas and Thin Mints. Here's the link:

That's horrible. They should have offered some alternative to your daughter.

Dang! I thought you were going to tell me they had a gluten free one. I was leaving Wal-Mart today and the cutest little girl asked if I'd buy them. I wanted to say "yes, I'll buy them all". Oh well, that was a different life, I feel so much better that it's worth it. I think I'll eat my M&M's now.

:lol: THEY ARE EVERYWHERE! I swear every office I walk by at work has a box of cookies on the corner of the desk, and of course the little Troopers are in the grocery store every time I go - looking darling and plaintive. I may end up giving them a donation. But this morning after passing by their wares one more time ,I came home and made killer browinies! It's not the same thing, but it'll do...it allows me to be creatively aggressive instead of victim-ish - which is how I feel a lot of the time. And now that I think of it, I'm using my own Girl Scout skills by making my own confections instead of eating theirs!

What kind of leader requires this of a scout?

Grrrrr.....

Lol they are! I was driving around the mall in a nearby town close to mine around 7 or so and spotted them. They had this booth set up at one of the stores and they were dancing, trying to advertise for the cookies! I thought it was cute :)

      Gluten-Free Diet Linked to Reduced Inflammation and Improved Outcomes in Multiple Sclerosis (+Video)

      I worried at one point on my journey whether I had MS, having many of the symptoms myself. However, my symptoms improved dramatically with high dose thiamine hydrochloride, Benfotiamine, and Thiamine TTFD. Thiamine deficiency symptoms overlap with MS symptoms, including changes on brain MRIs. Thiamine deficiency affected my eyes (light sensitivity),...

      Unexpected gluten exposure risk from cultivated mushrooms

      Welcome to the celiac.com communiuty, @Matthias!

      Unexpected gluten exposure risk from cultivated mushrooms

      The one kind of food I had been buying and eating without any worry for hidden gluten were unprocessed veggies. Well, yesterday I discovered yet another pitfall: cultivated mushrooms. I tried some new ones, Shimeji to be precise (used in many asian soup and rice dishes). Later, at home, I was taking a closer look at the product: the mushrooms were growing...

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      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 y...

Yes, we have been aware that this can be an issue with mushrooms but as long as they are rinsed thoroughly it should not be a problem since the mushrooms don't actually incorporate the gluten into their cellular structure. For the same reason, one needs to be careful when buying aged cheeses and products containing yeast because of the fact that they are sometimes cultured on gluten-containing substrate.

      The one kind of food I had been buying and eating without any worry for hidden gluten were unprocessed veggies. Well, yesterday I discovered yet another pitfall: cultivated mushrooms. I tried some new ones, Shimeji to be precise (used in many asian soup and rice dishes). Later, at home, I was taking a closer look at the product: the mushrooms were growing from a visible layer of shredded cereals that had not been removed. After a quick web research I learned that these mushrooms are commonly cultivated on a cereal-based medium like wheat bran. I hope that info his helpful to someone.

Incidentally, I don't like quinoa either. Reminds me and smells to me like wet grass seed. When its not washed before cooking it makes me ill because of saponins in the seed coat. Yes, it can be difficult to get much dietary calcium without dairy. But in many cases, it's not the amount of calcium in the diet that is the problem but the poor uptake of it. And too much calcium supplementation can interfere with the absorption of vitamins and minerals in general because it raises gut pH.

      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.
