Anyone wish they could have a Girl Scout Cookie? i am really missing thin mints and thanks a lots (no pun intended)

I emailed GSA suggesting a gluten-free cookie and was quite disappointed with their repsonse. I am forwarding it on in case anyone else wants to write them with the suggestion that they come up with a gluten free cookie. With all kthe kids who have celiac i cant beleive they dont think the demand would be there for it!

Thanks for your message to Girl Scouts of the U.S.A. We appreciate your

request for a gluten free cookie. We have asked our cookie companies to

look into this--it is a question of supply and demand, complicated by

the increasing cost of ingredients and sourcing.

At this point, we are not able to guarantee if/when we will have gluten

free offerings; however, we can assure you that we will continue to look

for ways to improve and better serve our members and the public.

Thanks again for taking the time to contact Girl Scouts.

I know what you mean. I was sad when the little neighbor girl came to the door selling Girl Scout cookies. I always used to buy several boxes of the Samoas every year. SO DELICIOUS!!! It was always a special treat for me. I still bought some cookies for my kids, but it has been torture for me to watch them eat them. Oh well, I will just stick to my favorite gltuen free cookies. I don't see the Girl Scouts coming through for us with a gluten free cookie anytime soon.

I'm on the other side - I have a little Brownie Scout who could not sell or be near the boxes this year because she is Celiac. It is a bummer...at least we have lots of substitutes now-a-days!!!

I had just bought several boxes of my Favorite "Samoas" a couple of days before finding out I had Celiac.

Here is a recipe for gluten free, egg free Thin Mints. It's from Stephanie O'Dea who has the Crockpotting for a Year blog. She has a new blog Totally Together that has this recipe, but I am having trouble opening that blog today. I had already copied/pasted this recipe into a document yesterday b/c it sounds yummy! Stephanie made it once with Pamela's brownie mix, once with Bob's chocolate cake mix and said Pamela's was much better.

Thanks for sharing Holly . . . but now you've got me thinkin' . . . I think I'll just make the wafer part, leave out the mint and use these chocolate "cookies" to make ice cream sandwiches . . . :D

To make it economical and to earn money, the GS must sell millions and millions of boxes of each one of their cookies. Not only would they not be able to sell enough millions of gluten-free cookies, the price would probably be at least double and maybe triple the normal. I wouldn't buy them at that price. Heck, I won't even pay the price for gluten-free commercial cookies.

      Unusual bright yellow but odourless discharge

      Yes, I, too, have osteoporosis from years of malabsorption, too.  Thiamine and magnesium are what keep the calcium in place in the bones.  If one is low in magnesium, boron, selenium, zinc, copper, and other trace minerals, ones bone heath can suffer.  We need more than just calcium and Vitamin D for strong bones.  Riboflavin B 2, Folate B 9 and Pyridoxine B 6 also contribute to bone formation and strength.   Have you had your thyroid checked?  The thyroid is important to bone health as well.  The thyroid uses lots of thiamine, so a poorly functioning thyroid will affect bone heath.

      That sounds so very likely in my case! I will absolutely ask my doctor on my next bone check coming up in March... Thanks a lot!

      Calcium levels as measured in the blood can be quite deceiving as the body will rob calcium from the bones to meet demands for it by other bodily functions. Also, supplementing with calcium can be counterproductive as it tends to raise gut pH and decrease absorption. More often than not, the problem is poor absorption to begin with rather than deficiency of intake amounts in the diet. Calcium needs an acidic environment to be absorbed. This is why so many people on PPIs develop osteoporosis. The PPIs raise gut pH. And some people have high gut PH for other reasons. Low pH equates to a more acidic environment whereas high pH equates to a more basic (less acidic) environment.

      Kind thanks for all this valuable information! Since my Folate was/is low and also my Calcium, there IS a chance I am low in B vitamins... My doctor only measured the first two, oh and Zinc as I has twisted her arm and guess what, that was mega low too. So who knows, until I get myself tested properly, what else I am deficient in... I did a hair mineral test recently and it said to avoid All sources of Calcium. But this is confusing for me as my Ca is so low and I have osteoporosis because of this. It is my Adjusted Ca that is on the higher side and shouldn't be. So am not sure why the mineral test showed high Ca (well, it was medium in the test but relative to my lowish Magnesium, also via hair sample, it was high I was told). But anyway, thanks again for the VitB download, I will look into this most certainly!

      Allergy medication: cetirizine by the HealthA2Z is it gluten free?

      By ElisaAllergiesgluten · Posted

      Hello good afternoon, I was wondering if anyone has ever brought their anti-allergy pills? I have been wanting to use their Cetirizine HCI 10mg. They are called HealthA2Z and distributed by Allegiant Health.I’m also Asthmatic and these allergies are terrible for me but I also want to be sure they don’t have any sort of gluten compound.    I have tried calling them but to no avail. Has anyone ever used them? If so, did you had any problems or no problems at all?    thank you
