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 :)

      By nanny marley · Posted

      Hi I've been told I need a MRI on my bowels , I was booked for a colonoscopy, but because of my sever back issues and trapped nerve it can't be done , the nurse told me I will have to have a manitol drink a hour before the scan , I'm just a bit worried has I have issues with sweeteners like even a little,  I get a weird throat and ears and I've read it is a similar substance , not sure if anyone has had one of these scans or could give me some advise on the drink prep thanks in advance 😄

      Celiac attack confusion and anxiety

      By Colleen H · Posted

      Hi all ! Can a celiac attack be so intense that it causes your entire body to work in reverse? Meaning really bad pain,  neuropathy and muscle,  jaw pain,  the stomach issues , Horrible anxiety and confusion??  I had a Tums and you would think I ate poison. My jaw and stomach did not like it . Not the norm for me. Things that are simple are just out of control. Anyone ever have this happen??  I'm trying to figure out what I ate or did to bring on a celiac like attack. I had an idea before but yesterday I didn't have any gluten unless it was in a medication ?! Any positive suggestions ??  Thank you

      Gluten free stuff

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      The following two lists are very helpful for anyone who is gluten sensitive and needs to avoid gluten when shopping. It's very important to learn to read labels and understand sources of hidden gluten, and to know some general information about product labelling--for example in the USA if wheat is a possible allergen it must be declared on a product's ingredient label like this: Allergens: Wheat.

      Gluten free stuff

      By trents · Posted

      Tammy, in the food industry, "gluten free" doesn't mean the same thing as "no gluten". As Scott explained, the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) allows food companies to use the "gluten-free" label as long as the product does not contain more than 20 ppm (parts per million) of gluten. This number is based on studies the FDA did years ago to determine the reaction threshold for those with celiac disease. And the 20 ppm figure works for the majority of celiacs. There are those who are more sensitive, however, who still react to that amount. There is another, stricter standard known as "Certified Gluten Free" which was developed by a third party organization known as GFCO which requires not more than 10 ppm of gluten. So, when you see "GFCO" or "Certified Gluten Free" labels on food items you know they are manufactured with a stricter standard concerning gluten content. Having said all that, even though you may read the disclaimer on a food item that says the spices may contain wheat, barley or rye (the gluten grains), you should be able to trust that the amount of gluten the spices may contain is so small it allows the total product to meet the requirements of gluten free or certified gluten free labeling. I hope this helps.
