I always buy the Kinnitoos, but the other day at the store, I saw they also had Mi-Del and they were $2/pack cheaper than the Kinnitoos . . . are the Mi-Del "oreos" as good as the Kinnitoos?? It would be nice since they are so much cheaper, but I sure love my Kinnitoos since they taste so close to the real Oreos.

Thanks!

I personally hated the Mi-Del brand. My husband didn't really care for them either.

Hope that helps! Tephie

We hate the mi-del ones. My kids call them hockey pucks! Kinni-toos are soooo much better.

I can't do chocolate but I do the Vanilla midel ones with cream in the middle. They taste nothing like golden oreos, but I did like them because they are a good sugar fix.

I would say just buy it and see what you think!

Love the K-too's...hate Mi-del....were like bricks. I know K-too's are a little pricey, but worth it in the end.

IMHO the K-toos are much, much better than the Midel ones. However, if you happen to be lucky enough to get a super fresh pack of Midel ones they're not bad. I've only ever had one bag though that wasn't hard as a brick. My DH likes the mint ones, but only because Kinnikinnick doesn't make one with mint cream. :)

K-toos all the way!

I'm glad they are more expensive, or I would be eating them way to much. :D

I was hesitant to try the K-toos , because the Midel ones were so horrible.

LOL! I'm laughing because Mi Del Cookies were one of the first gluten free foods I tried. OMGosh, I could not even bite through them. My whole family (not gluten free) tried them and my kids felt terrible for me because that was the kind of food mom had to eat.

So, it's nice to know the K-toos are better in case I ever want to try again! :P

      There is a 10 year old post in this forum on Edy's and Dreyer's ice cream. The information is somewhat outdated and the thread is closed to further comment, so here is a new one. Edy's And Dreyer's Grand Vanilla Bean Ice Cream - 1.5 Quart is labeled "Gluten Free". This is a different answer than years gone by. I don't know the answer for any other flavor at this moment. On 1 May, 2026, Edy's website says: "As a general rule, the gluten in Edy's and Dreyer's® frozen dessert products is present only in the added bakery products, such as cookies, cake or brownies. We always label the eight major food allergens on our package by their common name. We recommend to always check the label for the most current information before purchasing and/or consuming a product. The exception to this rule is our Slow Churned French Silk frozen dairy dessert, which contains gluten in the natural flavors." https://www.icecream.com/us/en/brands/edys-and-dreyers/faq It seems that Edy's and Dreyer's are more celiac-friendly than they were 10 years ago. Once I found enough information to make today's buying decision, I stopped researching.

      probably not your situation @Mimiof2, but allow me to add one more to @trents list of celiac-mimics: "olmesartan-induced sprue-like enteropathy"

      My dad had an Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm.  Fortunately, it was discovered during an exam.  The doctor could feel my dad's heart beating in his stomach/abdomen.  The aneurysm burst when the doctor first touched it in surgery.  Since he was already hooked up to the bypass machine, my dad survived ten more years.  Close call! Triple A's can press on the nerves in the spinal cord causing leg pain.  I'm wondering if bowing the head might have increased the pressure on an aneurysm and then the nerves.   https://gulfcoastsurgeons.com/understanding-abdominal-aortic-aneurysm-symptoms-and-causes/ Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Presenting as a Claudication https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4040638/

      You have an odd story there. To me, the mechanical trigger suggests a mechanical problem and lower leg pain is a classic sciatica symptom. The fact that the clear mechanical linkage is no longer there does not take away from the fact that it was - maybe something shifted and the simple alignment is no longer there. There's also a good chance I am wrong and it's something else entirely. @Scott Adams's mention of shingles is interesting. It seems possible but unlikely to me, but who knows. However, I am writing here to reinforce the idea of getting the shingles vaccine. Ask anyone who has ever had shingles and they will bend your ear telling you how bad it is. I watched my wife go through it and it scared the bejeebers out of me. Even if you had the chicken pox vaccine, you really want to get the shingles vaccine.

      Oddly this effect has gone now, just happened yesterday evening, the nerve pain is now back to its usual "unpredictable" random self again - but that was the only time I ever had some mechanical trigger for it, don't know why! There's no (or wasn't) actual pain in my neck - it was inside the leg, but when I looked down, now though, the leg pain just comes and goes randomly as before again.
