They have mainstream gluten free cookies!!!!!! Chocolate Chip and Chocolate Chocolate chip. Did anyone know this?? Usually when a big company like that goes gluten free, I hear about it from this board but unless I completely missed it, I stood in the store with my jaw dropped. Naturally I bought them (despite the obvious cc risks that I know people will bring up), sadly...the Betty Crocker ones are better but its still awesome to know they're there!

I just looked on their online store and didn't see any gluten free cookies. I called and they said that they didn't have gluten free anything?!

Is the name Tastycake? The company out of PA that sells the snackcakes?

Thanks! :)

Wow! Those look good. Are they soft and chewy or more crispy? I can't believe that the rep. on the phone was not aware that her company made these. Jeez!

Where did you find them?

Maybe it is a test marketing ? The only thing I can find online (looked everywhere) is a pdf that is on google documents which is a Business Plus Presentation of Tastykake New Product Launch. It's an outline with no date on it. But the product is for gluten free tastykakes.

That's strange they'd try it with gluten-free cookies, when the most famous Tastykake regular items are the krimpets (a rectangular shaped frosted cupcake) and kandy cakes, which are small spongecakes "enrobed" in chocolate frosting.

If they could actually do a gluten-free krimpet people would go nuts. The facebook page was funny, they are going to sell regular tastykakes at baseball games again this year and handle the frosting issue by keeping them in coolers at the ballpark. There is a promo to win Phillies tickets for opening day. Open Original Shared Link

Astonishing. I hope they can stay in business, they're having money issues. I would kill for a gluten-free Tastykake lemon pie.

I got them in a Weis Markets in PA. They're softish...and honestly, not that great but I just was astonished that I didn't hear about it on this board before I saw it in the stores! I feel like where I was in PA wouldn't have been a very successful test market but maybe they're trying it out within a certain distance from Philly? I agree, it's strange to start it out with cookies...I'd love a krimpet!!!

One of my friends sent me an mms today with a pic of these at Shoprite in Neptune, NJ. I can't wait to get there to try them out!! Any word on if they are made in a separate facility or if they at least batch test them?

I don't know what is more annoying here, that the Tastykake website does not have them (the gluten-free chocolate chip cookies) obviously on the links to their homepage, or that once you do find them, they still don't list the ingredients.

So I've read a lot of reviews, and the dingy reviewers mostly are not saying what the ingredients are, either. I mean, come on, folks, why do you think people buy this stuff.

This person finally mentions the ingredients but does not provide a full list. 6/27/11 Gluten Free Dairy Free NJ

Good news is that they are supposedly dairy free.... bad news is that they have soy flour. <_< Hello.. what is one of the more common problems for celiacs and gluten intolerants.... somebody was not thinking on this one.

A couple of things did stand out from the package though: 1) there is no

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      By Russ H · Posted

      I hope you are on the mend soon. About 1 in 5 people who contracted chicken pox as a child go on to develop shingles in later life - it is not uncommon. There are 5 known members of the herpes virus family including chicken pox that commonly infect humans, and they all cause lifelong infections. The exact cause of viral reactivation as in the case of shingles or cold sores is not well understood, but stress, sunburn and radiotherapy treatment are known triggers. Some of the herpes viruses are implicated in triggering autoimmune diseases: Epstein-Barr virus is suspected of triggering multiple sclerosis and lupus, and there is a case where it is suspected of triggering coeliac disease. As to whether coeliac disease can increase the likelihood of viral reactivation, there have been several cohort studies including a large one in Sweden suggesting that coeliac disease is associated with a moderate increase in the likelihood of developing shingles in people over the age of 50.

      BFree bread is fortified with vitamins and minerals as is ASDA own-brand gluten-free bread. All the M&S bread seems to be fortified also.

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      You might try Heallix.  It's a silver solution with fulvic acid. I just put the solution on with a cotton ball.  It seemed to stop the nerve pain. Again,  not in your eyes or ears.   Go to heallix.com to read more about it and decide for yourself Also,  I do think nerve and celiac combined have a lot to do with your susceptibility to shingles breaking out.

      GI DX celiac despite neg serology and no biopsy

      By trents · Posted

      Celiac disease requires both genetic potential and a triggering stress event to activate the genes. Otherwise it remains dormant and only a potential problem. So having the genetic potential is not deterministic for celiac disease. Many more people have the genes than actually develop the disease. But if you don't have the genes, the symptoms are likely being caused by something else.
