I've only had them once, but there is a cookie called K-Too's that is just exactly like an oreo. I think it's by knikkinick, but I'm not 100% positive on that.

They are made by Kinninick, they are so good! Try the vanilla cream as well. I was impressed.

I have good news and bad news-- the good news is the cravings do go away. Especially if you stay away from your former favorite foods. The bad news is that gluten in an integral part in making certain foods taste good. Especially processed baked goods. You will never find a cookie without gluten that tastes as good as an oreo. However, if you wait few months you will forget what they taste like and some of the gluten free cookies will begin to taste better.

I know this sounds grim, but it really isn't that bad. It gets easier, especially if you don't cheat.

What I would recommend doing is spending a few months pigging out on the naturally gluten free popular junk food like full size snickers, M&Ms, Swedish Fish, Sour Patch Kids and Tostidos. Then after a few months try the Glutano Chocolate O's Sandwich Gluten-Free Cookies (the best fake oreos I have found). If you try them now you will think they are disgusting. If you wait 4-5 months they will be palatable and slightly addicting.

Good luck!

Edit: there are good oreos out there? I have never seen that brand. I will have to try them!

Try the kinock imitation oreos they are the best. The midel ones are decent but not as enjoyable.

Definitely try the Kinnikinnick Kinnitoos. The chocolate and vanilla flavors are both great. My husband could not believe they were gluten-free. I have to hide them from my kids because they can't stop eating them. And if my kids eat them all, there are none left for me!!

I think the Mi-del ones are only good for crushing up and using as cookie crusts. My kids call them hockey pucks!

I love the k-too's so does my gluten eating inlaws. I made an oreo sundae for them. Crushed oreos (1 1/2 packages) with 1/2 cup butter melted mixed and spread on a 13 by 9. Then vanilla softened ice cream, then 1 1/2 jars of smucker's hot fudge sauce on top of that, cool whip on top of that and the last of the oreos crushed sprinkled on top. They loved it!

I LOVE these cookies: Open Original Shared Link

They are the best, by far! I didn't like any other store-bought cookes, but some ppl do.

I think the Kinnickinnick ones are best.....I gave one to both my husband and to my son and neither one realized it wasn't the "real" thing. I tried the Midel ones but didn't like them as much.

Also....Kinnickinnick makes a fabulous "animal" cookie type cookie....I forget what they call it but it's on their website. Super crispy and actually better than the real animal crackers, which I love. Unfortunately, the first ingredient is sugar so they're not so good for you, but boy do they taste good. :D

You can order from Kinnikinnick directly:

Apparently their chocolate doughnuts are good, and I really like their pizza crusts.

K-toos are so much like Oreos that, unless they read the lettering on them, most people can't tell the difference. :)

The only difference I can tell with k-toos is the "stuff' isn't as greasy and they don't leave that disgusting grease film on the roof of your mouth. Which is a huge bonus if you ask me.

Thank you!

do you know, can you buy the kinnickinnic at a store or if you have to get them off line?

If you have any health food stores in your area you might check there. I have a couple of stores in my area that actually carry some of the Knikkinick products. My Whole Foods does not carry them though, but there's a smaller store that does.

In my experience, it seems that smaller privately-owned natural food stores usually carry Kinnickinnick products more often than the larger chains do. The closest place I can find them is 45 minutes away from me, but it is SOOO worth it. :D

I think the happiest moment of my Gluten-free Casein-free life was when I made my own Gluten-free Casein-free cookies & cream ice cream with the Kinnickinnick cookies and Gluten-free Casein-free vanilla ice cream!! It was HEAVEN!

      Thank you for the clarification and for taking the time to explain the terminology so clearly. I really appreciate your insight, especially the distinction between celiac disease and NCGS and how anemia can point more toward celiac. This was very helpful for me.

      Hi,  My 7 year daughter has complained of this in the past, which I thought were part of her glutening symptom, but more recently I have come to figure out it's part of her histamine overload symptom. This one symptom was part of her broader profile, which included irritability, extreme hunger, confusion, post-nasal drip. You might want to look up "histamine intolerance". I wish I had known of this at the time of her diagnosis, life would have been much easier.  I hope you are able to figure out.

      My 5yo was diagnosed with celiac last year by being tested after his sister was diagnosed. We are very strict on the gluten-free diet, but unsure what his reactions are as he was diagnosed without many symptoms other than low ferritin.  He had a school party where his teacher made gluten-free gingerbread men. I almost said no because she made it in her kitchen but I thought it would be ok.  Next day and for a few after his behavior is awful. Hitting, rude, disrespectful. Mainly he kept saying his legs were shaking. Is this a gluten exposure symptom that anyone else gets? Also the bad behavior?

      Not necessarily. The "Gluten Free" label means not more than 20ppm of gluten in the product which is often not enough for super sensitive celiacs. You would need to be looking for "Certified Gluten Free" (GFCO endorsed) which means no more than 10ppm of gluten. Having said that, "Gluten Free" doesn't mean that there will necessarily be more gluten than "Certified Gluten" in any given batch run. It just means there could be.

      I think it is wise to seek a second opinion from a GI doc and to go on a gluten free diet in the meantime. The GI doc may look at all the evidence, including the biopsy report, and conclude you don't need anything else to reach a dx of celiac disease and so, there would be no need for a gluten challenge. But if the GI doc does want to do more testing, you can worry about the gluten challenge at that time. But between now and the time of the appointment, if your symptoms improve on a gluten free diet, that is more evidence. Just keep in mind that if a gluten challenge is called for, the bare minimum challenge length is two weeks of the daily consumption of at least 10g of gluten, which is about the amount found in 4-6 slices of wheat bread. But, I would count on giving it four weeks to be sure.
