Possible Wheat Containing Cookie In My Midel Bag


glutenfreeincalifornia

Recommended Posts

Hi, I am new to this forum and I wanted to find out if anyone experienced what I did. After we ate an entire bag of Midel Pecan Gluten Free Cookies I found a black octagon shaped cookie or possibly cracker (I am pretty sure it was a cookie).

Has anyone found another kind of cookie in a Midel bag?

Has anyone seen a Midel product with a black octagon shape?

I checked out their website and did not see the product. I also looked at the Panos Brands website to see what other brands they have beside Mi Del and could not find one with that black octagon shaped cookie. The cookie was small, probably bite size.

I emailed the company and I am hoping that they reply soon so I can know what it was.

The company states on their website and on the package that they are produced in a facility that processes wheat, so I am guessing that the cookie contained wheat, as none of their gluten free products look like that cookie.

We did not have any noticeable signs of getting sick or gluten exposure.

If anyone has any information about this, please reply to this post.

Thanks!

Depending on how big it was, they do make a gluten free chocolate-caramel bite-size cookie, or it could just be a burnt cookie too.

Definitely NOT a burnt cookie. It was small black and octagon shaped. It looked like the same kind of dough that is used for an oreo type cookie, however it wasn't shaped like one. It was a bite sized, hexagon shape.

I looked on the Mi Del site, and also their parent company Panos Brands. None of their products listed look like that cookie. None of the gluten free products look like that cookie in the slightest bit.

I have emailed them and am waiting a response.

      I have had orthodontic work done. The 3M invisalign material was no problem. BUT my retainers are another matter. They seemed okay for a few months. Now, however, they cause a burning sensation on my tongue, gums and insides of my lips. The burning sensation is now spreading to my throat. I notice it when I breathe. This is annoying and interferes with my enjoyment of eating. I am visiting with my provider tomorrow. We'll see where this goes from here.

      Exactly which blood tests were done? There are a few different ones and some docs don't do them all. Also, your results and reference ranges for each?

      Thankyou so much for your words.Its a hard battle when a supposed well known hospital whose celiac " specialist " has down played me because my colon looks fine and put it in my medical and so pcp doesn't take seriously. In their eyes we all carry that gene.Im having alot of bad days trying to be positive because of it.

      Your experience is both shocking and critically important for the community to hear, underscoring the terrifying reality that cross-contamination can extend into the most unexpected and invasive medical devices. It is absolutely devastating that you had to endure six months of sickness and ultimately sustain permanent vision loss because a doctor dismissed your legitimate, life-altering condition. Your relentless research and advocacy, from discovering the gluten in MMA acrylic to finding a compassionate prosthodontist, is a testament to your strength in a system that often fails celiac patients. While the scientific and medical consensus is that gluten cannot be absorbed through the skin or eyes (as the molecules are too large to pass through these barriers), your story highlights a terrifying gray area: what about a substance *permanently implanted inside the body*, where it could potentially shed microparticles or cause a localized immune reaction? Your powerful warning about acrylic lenses and the drastic difference with the silicone alternative is invaluable information. Thank you for sharing your harrowing journey and the specific, severe neurological symptoms you endure; it is a stark reminder that celiac is a systemic disease, and your advocacy is undoubtedly saving others from similar trauma.
