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.

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!

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      I realized it is actually important to get an official diagnosis because then insurance can cover bone density testing and other lab work to see if any further damage has been done because of it. Also, if hospitalized for whatever reason, I have the right to gluten-free food if I am officially celiac. I guess it gives me some legal protections. Plus, I have...

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      Been off this forum for years. Is it that important that you get an official diagnosis of something? It appears like you had a trigger (wheat, gluten, whatever) and removing it has resolved your symptom. I can't speak for you, but I had known what my trigger was (gluten) years before my diagnosis I would just stay gluten-free and get on with my symptom free...

      No coincidence. Recent revisions to gluten challenge guidelines call for the daily consumption of at least 10g of gluten (about the amount in 4-6 slices of wheat bread) for a minimum of 3 weeks. If possible, I would extend that two weeks to ensure valid testing.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      Thank you both for the replies. I decided to bring back gluten so I can do the blood test. Today is Day #2 of the Challenge. Yesterday I had about 3 slices of whole wheat bread and I woke up with urgent diarrhea this morning. It was orange, sandy and had the distinctive smell that I did not have when I was briefly gluten free. I don't know if it's a...

Also, if hospitalized for whatever reason, I have the right to gluten-free food if I am officially celiac. I guess it gives me some legal protections. Plus, I have 4 kids, and I really want to know. If I really do have it then they may have increased risk.

I can't speak for you, but I had known what my trigger was (gluten) years before my diagnosis I would just stay gluten-free and get on with my symptom free condition. I was diagnosed over 20 years ago and have been symptom free only excluding wheat, rye and barley. I tolerate all naturally gluten free whole foods including things like beans which actually helps to form the stools.

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      @Jane02, I hear you about the kale and collard greens.  I don't do dairy and must eat green leafies, too, to get sufficient calcium.  I must be very careful because some calcium supplements are made from ground up crustacean shells.  When I was deficient in Vitamin D, I took high doses of Vitamin D to correct the deficiency quickly.  This is safe and nontoxic.  Vitamin D level should be above 70 nmol/L.  Lifeguards and indigenous Pacific Islanders typically have levels between 80-100 nmol/L.   Levels lower than this are based on amount needed to prevent disease like rickets and osteomalacia. We need more thiamine when we're physically ill, emotionally and mentally stressed, and if we exercise like an athlete or laborer.  We need more thiamine if we eat a diet high in simple carbohydrates.  For every 500 kcal of carbohydrates, we need 500-1000 mg more of thiamine to process the carbs into energy.  If there's insufficient thiamine the carbs get stored as fat.  Again, recommended levels set for thiamine are based on minimum amounts needed to prevent disease.  This is often not adequate for optimum health, nor sufficient for people with absorption problems such as Celiac disease.  Gluten free processed foods are not enriched with vitamins like their gluten containing counterparts.  Adding a B Complex and additional thiamine improves health for Celiacs.  Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  Thiamine helps the mitochondria in cells to function.  Thiamine interacts with each of the other B vitamins.  They are all water soluble and easily excreted if not needed. Interesting Reading: Clinical trial: B vitamins improve health in patients with coeliac disease living on a gluten-free diet https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19154566/ Safety and effectiveness of vitamin D mega-dose: A systematic review https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34857184/ High dose dietary vitamin D allocates surplus calories to muscle and growth instead of fat via modulation of myostatin and leptin signaling https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38766160/ Safety of High-Dose Vitamin D Supplementation: Secondary Analysis of a Randomized Controlled Trial https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31746327/ Vitamins and Celiac Disease: Beyond Vitamin D https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11857425/ Investigating the therapeutic potential of tryptophan and vitamin A in modulating immune responses in celiac disease: an experimental study https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40178602/ Investigating the Impact of Vitamin A and Amino Acids on Immune Responses in Celiac Disease Patients https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10814138/
