Mi-del "chocolate Sandwich Cookies"

Hi,

I was in a healthfood store with my mother and nine-year-old brother. I don't remember what I was getting, but my brother was poking around the other gluten-free foods and he came across a cookie made by Mi-Del (the same ones that made the arrowroot animal-cracker-type cookies, a ginger snap cookie, and a chocolate chip cookies, which i didn't find very tasty. Anyway, they make a "Chocolate Sandwich Cookie", gluten-free, wheat-free (obviously), and dairy-free. They were very good and tasted nearly identical to Oreos. There are 21 cookies in a package. The healthfood store I was at was one of the more expensive ones in my area, but it's the only place where I can find some foods. Anyway, they were obviously overpriced at $3 per box, but i wanted to try them. I felt guilty about getting them, but my mom always tells me that if gluten-free food is all I can eat, I should at least have good variety, etc. Anyway, they were very good.....they should be less expensive at whatever store you might find them at. I'll find them somewhere else for much less....just giving a recommendation for any celiacs dreadfully missing Oreos.

Oh my word!!! My family eats Oreos in front of me all the time, and I think it's the ultimate torture!!!!! I would LOVE to get some Oreo-type cookies!! However....I AM trying to keep the sugar intake down. Do you know how much sugar they have per cookie?

I don't think my Vitamin Cottage has them, or else I would have seen them. I've been up and down the cookie aisle many times! Can you get them on the 'net?

Thanks for the tip!

A lot of sugar.......15 grams of sugar per serving, which is three cookies, so 5 grams per cookie. If you ate one a day as a treat, it might be okay with the sugar.

Woosh! That is a lot of sugar. But one (fake) Oreo a day is better than nothing. :D

I seen, but not yet bought, the Mi-Del "oreo" cookies, mainly because they are labeled only "wheat-free," not "gluten-free" like their other cookies (arrowroot, ginger, choc. chip). I have tried calling the company but have not been successful in reaching anyone in the know. For now, we are sticking with the Glutano choc. sandwich cookies.

I believe they are available online through the Gluten Free Pantry.

It initially appears that they are only wheat-free. The front just mentions wheat-free. However, look on the back where they talk about their product and it says that the cookies are made from gluten-free products. I don't know why these people can't answer your question if it says it on the package.....

Are they also rice and egg free? Can you post the ingredients list for us?

I threw out the packaging and put the cookies in my gluten-free cookie jar, but the next time I get them, I'll post the ingredients. I think they might have rice, but I'm not sure and I'm unsure about eggs, either.

The flour blend in them contains rice flour and they also have liquid whole eggs listed in the ingredients.

My daughter likes them. I don't. I shouldn't eat them anyhow, since they have soy in them, but I don't think they taste like Oreo's at all. They look like them, but the cookie is not sweet at all and the filling is too sweet. I keep some on hand for the kids and also for recipes that call for oreo style cookies. Here is the label:

I'm not a big Oreo fan, and I admit, they're not the same, but I think it's difficult to find products that are truly identical to their wheat-filled counterparts. I don't think they'll become staples of my diet, but they might be a nice change every now and then.

Here is the lising from Open Original Shared Link. They are even more expensive...but worth it if you live in a small town like me and don't have any other choice than to order on-line!! I have tried these before and they are great ~ wonderful dipped in milk! :P

Rice, rice, rice!! Argh! I am allergic to rice, and I can honestly tell you that anaphlaxis is no fun! I guess I will have to stick to making my chocolate chip cookies out of chickpea flour with ground flax for egg substitute. And oreos were my favorite, I could eat a whole package of them and milk and nothing else and be happy all day!

      Celiac Disease and Skin Disorders: Exploring a Genetic Connection

      Maybe they can attribute certain skin conditions to either being susceptible to getting Celiac......or the other way around....but I have to ask if certain people are prone to Celiac because of genetics and some people aren't. It's kind of the same thing as what came first.....the chicken or the egg.?

      @xxnonamexx, There's labeling on those Trubar gluten free high fiber protein bars that say: "Manufactured in a facility that also processes peanuts, milk, soy, fish, WHEAT, sesame, and other tree nuts." You may want to avoid products made in shared facilities. If you are trying to add more fiber to your diet to ease constipation, considering...

One key one is that its symptoms mimic so many other diseases. Another is ignorance on the part of the medical community with regard to the range of symptoms that celiac...

      I agree, it so often overlooked! I live in the UK and I have often wondered why doctors are so reluctant to at least exclude it - my thoughts are perhaps the particular tests are expensive for the NHS, so therefore saved for people with 'obvious' symptoms.  I was diagnosed in 2013 and was told immediately that my parents, sibling and children should be checked.  My parents' GP to this day has not put forward my father for testing, and my mother was never tested in her lifetime, despite the fact that they both have some interesting symptoms/family history that reflect they might have coeliac disease (Dad - extreme bloating, and his Mum clearly had autoimmune issues, albeit undiagnosed as such; Mum - osteoporosis, anxiety).  I am now my father' legal guardian and suspecting my parents may have forgotten to ask their GP for a test (which is entirely possible!) I put it to his last GP that he ought to be tested.  He looked at Dad's blood results and purely because he was not anemic said he wasn't a coeliac.  Hopefully as the awareness of Coeliac Disease spreads among the general public, people will be able to advocate for themselves.  It is hard because in the UK the NHS is very stretched, but the fallout from not being diagnosed in a timely fashion will only cost the NHS more money. Interestingly, a complete aside, I met someone recently whose son was diagnosed (I think she said he was 8).  At a recent birthday party with 8 guests, 4 boys out of the 8 had received diagnosis of Coeliac Disease, which is an astounding statistic  As far as I know, though, they had all had obvious gastric symptoms leading to their NHS diagnosis.  In my own case I had  acute onset anxiety, hypnopompic hallucinations (vivid hallucinations upon waking),  odd liver function, anxiety, headaches, ulcers and low iron but it wasn't until the gastric symptoms hit me that a GP thought to do coeliac testing, and my numbers were through the roof.  As @trents says, by the grace of God I was diagnosed, and the diet has pretty much dealt with most of those symptoms.  I have much to be grateful for.

You may want to avoid products made in shared facilities.   If you are trying to add more fiber to your diet to ease constipation, considering eating more leafy green vegetables and cruciferous vegetables.  Not only are these high in fiber, they also are good sources of magnesium.  Many newly diagnosed are low in magnesium and B vitamins and suffer with constipation.  Thiamine Vitamin B1 and magnesium work together.  Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine has been shown to improve intestinal health.  Thiamine and magnesium are important to gastrointestinal health and function.

      Welcome to celiac.com @sha1091a! Your experience is a very common one. Celiac disease is one the most underdiagnosed and misdiagnosed medical conditions out there. The reasons are numerous. One key one is that its symptoms mimic so many other diseases. Another is ignorance on the part of the medical community with regard to the range of symptoms that celiac disease can produce. Clinicians often are only looking for classic GI symptoms and are unaware of the many other subsystems in the body that can be damaged before classic GI symptoms manifest, if ever they do. Many celiacs are of the "silent" variety and have few if any GI symptoms while all along, damage is being done to their bodies. In my case, the original symptoms were elevated liver enzymes which I endured for 13 years before I was diagnosed with celiac disease. By the grace of God my liver was not destroyed. It is common for the onset of the disease to happen 10 years before you ever get a diagnosis. Thankfully, that is slowly changing as there has developed more awareness on the part of both the medical community and the public in the past 20 years or so. Blessings!

      Dizziness after eating green beans?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @EndlessSummer, You said you had an allergy to trees.  People with Birch Allergy can react to green beans (in the legume family) and other vegetables, as well as some fruits.  Look into Oral Allergy Syndrome which can occur at a higher rate in Celiac Disease.   Switching to a low histamine diet for a while can give your body time to rid itself of the extra histamine the body makes with Celiac disease and histamine consumed in the diet.   Vitamin C and the eight B vitamins are needed to help the body clear histamine.   Have you been checked for nutritional deficiencies?
