I show some gluten free ginger snaps at the Trader Joe's near my house. I was wondering if anybody has tried them and if they like them

Haven't tried these but saw them next to Trader Joe's brand gluten free granola - three different varieties of granola.

They were sold out at the Union Square store in NYC when I went by yesterday... so somebody must be buying & eating them! I'm curious about these myself...

Well that's good to hear because I just went to Union Square today and bought a bag. I'm planning on using them for the crust of my cheesecake.

Hi All! I rec the TJ's flyer and hopped over there yest. Got the gluten-free ginger snaps and they are GREAT! I think they taste sorta like vanilla wafers with an edge at the end. I plan to stock up on these new goodies. Also tried the gluten-free granola. It was good too and I plan to get more. Wasn't aware that there was more than one kind......? Now I checked out those sour cream 'n onion rice crackers and their "disclosure" on the bag says that they are made on equip that processes wheat and I don't know what their policy is regarding cleaning their equip thus I am unwilling to try them at this point. I seem to be extra extra extra sensitive and it is not worth the trouble of a possible reaction....I have plenty of other goodies and crackers to eat. So run over to TJ's and enjoy their new goodies! I hope that maybe this is a trend for them to start offering more gluten free stuff instead of swinging the other way with their disclosures lately.......we'll see, eh? :D

P.S. I know this isn't the right area and I don't know how to start a new thread and the liberry will be shutting down very shortly.......but did anybody see the new book, "Gluten Free Girl" that's finally out? I just picked it up today at Borders. Plan to start it tonight. Just wanted to let you know that it's out now. Enjoy! :rolleyes:

I think most gluten-free cookies aren't worth the calories or the effort to open the box. These are the exception --they're amazing. They actually taste like a normal, very crisp cookie. I went back and cleared out the shelf (there were only three bags left.)

Also, the gluten free granola (maple cranberry nut), super good too.

They had an ad for them in their fearless flyer! We were there today and I saw the cookies...but they have soy lecithin in them! :angry:

I will probalby be in the minority here, but we did not care for the TJ's gingersnaps. They had an unpleasant aftertaste and mouthfeel. They were not horrible, but I won't buy them again.

I should mention, however, that I have found very few pre-baked gluten-free cookies that I liked.

I eat them all the time and think they are very good. I love finding gluten-free stuff at TJs because they are much more reasonably priced than anywhere else.

Sometimes we don't get to be too picky on taste, but I happen to think these are just as good as any!

We too didn't care from them. The 'bite' to them was too much for my DD and they made the roof of my mouth totally raw.

I still like the Pamelas chocolate espresso cookie

I use them all the time...they taste great but also work well for a cookie based pie crust...and as a topping on some baked deserts. :rolleyes:

Has anyone tried the gluten-free snickerdoodles by Enjoy Life? AMAZING! They are some of the best cookies I've ever had, and we love snickerdoodles. They are very soft and flavorful!

We have also tried the gingersnaps, and they are alright if you like gingersnaps but I am not a big fan.

Try the snickerdoodles, you'll be glad you did......

I love the Trader Joe's Gluten Free Ginger Snaps. Before going gluten-free I was never into ginger snaps but lately I love them. Although I love the Trader Joe ones, my favorite is still the Midel Cinnamon Snaps. I wish Trader Joe's would start making Cinnamon Snaps as well.

As for the Enjoy Life Snickerdoodles, I thought they had an odd taste to them, though they were better than the chocolate chip cookies I tried at the same time. Suffice to say, I haven't bought them since the first time I tried them (November 2007) as I didn't find they were worth the money.

I prefer Pamela's ginger snaps. Taste more like what I remember Nabisco to be.

I love them, and they make an awesome pie crust!

Yep, I like them too, but I like Pamela's better. Pamela's have a stronger taste, which I like. If I was going to use them for a crust, I would use TJ's. Much cheaper.

      Potential celiac need advice

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Ben98! If you have been consciously or unconsciously avoiding gluten because of the discomfort it produces then it is likely that your blood antibody testing for celiac disease has been rendered invalid. Valid testing requires regular consumption of generous amounts of gluten. The other strong possibility is that you have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) which shares many of the same symptoms with celiac disease but does not have the autoimmune component and thus does not damage the small bowel lining. It is 10x mor common than celiac disease. There is currently no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out. Some experts in the field believe it can be a precursor to the development of celiac disease. Having one or both of the primary genes for developing celiac disease does not imply that you will develop active celiac disease. It simply establishes the potential for it. About 40% of the population has the genetic potential but only about 1% develop active celiac disease.

      TTG blood test and total IGA tested on many occasions which have always remained normal, upper GI pain under my ribs since 2022. I had an endoscopy in 2023 which showed moderate gastritis. no biopsy’s were taken unfortunately. genetic test was positive for HLADQ2. extreme bloating after eating gluten, it’ll feel like I’ve got bricks in my stomach so uncomfortably full. the pain is like a dull ache under the upper left almost like a stitch feeling after a long walk. I am just wanting some advice has anyone here experienced gastritis with a gluten issue before? thank you

      "Conclusions: The urinary iodine level was significantly lower in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis, and iodine replacement may be important in preventing osteoporosis"  Body iodine status in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis Low iodine can cause thyroid problems, but Iodine deficiency will not show up in thyroid tests.  Iodine is important for healing, its job is to kill off defective and aging cells (Apoptosis). Skin, brain fog, nails, muscle tone all inproved when I started taking 600 mcg (RDA 150 - 1000 mcg) of Liquid Iodine drops. Some with dermatitis herpetiformis, Iodine exacerbates the rash.  I started at 1 drop (50 mcg) and worked up to 12 drops, but I don't have dermatitis herpetiformis.

      Thank you so much for sharing your experience and I found myself giggling with happiness as I read how your body reached such spring! And I hope that your current journey is also successful!! Definitely starting the food diary! So many amazing advices. And it’s very scary. It really hits all our soft spots as well as our confidence system. Most doctors I went thought I was underage despite being in my late 20s. Right now I look like am I twelve, but is also this body that’s taking so much, so I might as well love it too! Going to make the necessary changes and stay in this path. Thank you again! 🫶
