My son LOVES Oreo cookies. He is currently being tested for celiac disease. Are there decent oreo alternatives that are both gluten-free and good tasting out there? He loves to share them with his grandfather, and I am planning ahead for an alternative! Thanks.

Now this is the kind of critical question I can help you with....

Glutino makes a cookie called Chocolate O's. Let me know what else your son needs replaced! ;)

Oh, about the chocolate O's....keep them opened. They're a little hard. Left in the box, with the celophane undone softens them up. (Perfect oreo substitute.) I guess that's stale, actually, but trust me...they were a little too hard when first opened. Little teeth, or loose teeth have a hard time with that.

Glutano(There is a glutino brand and a glutano brand so its a bit confusing) makes them and so does Midel.

Have not tried the Midel ones but I do like the Glutino ones

I tried the Midel ones, and I didn't really care for them. WAY too sweet.

If you want a chocolate/candy alternative, don't forget that regular hershey bars, plain m&m's, reese's and many other items alike are gluten free. I find them better than the gluten free oreo's.

Vydor, those are the ones we have as well. They are good...just hard unless you let them stay open for a day or two.

I don't like the Chocolate O's at all. I think they taste bad and go stale in like no time. I prefer plain candy bars.

Any stores carry this so I can try some? Paying $10 for a box after shipping is just silly. :D

I ordered them on line. I actually just about give up with that company. I've asked and asked my local stores to carry them...and they still don't. They actually carry a FEW of the products, but not the products I want like the cookies and those fabulous cereal bars. I've begged. I've asked glutino very nicely to get more of their products in the store and they said it's not their job.... I have to pester the store more. I don't like being bothered to do that with no hope in sight. Glutino's spokesperson sent me an email saying she cannot force a store to carry the products I want and to order them on line. To which I replied I'll never pay shipping for anything from glutino ever again, or request their products in a store ever again simply so that I can pay full price for them. The cereal bars cost $5.99 a box for like 4 or 6.... Plus shipping!! It's robbery. :angry:

I agree! I place regular monthly orders online, and shop at only 2 or 3 locations. (Gluten Solutions, Kinnikinnick, and occasional Ener-G) This cuts down on the shipping, since the more you order the less it costs per item. these places also offer discounts and store "points" that I can redeem as a discount on my order. Another thing I do is place an order with a friend of mine (who is also gluten-free) and we split the cost of shipping. I will NOT purchase one thing and pay full shipping costs. If I want to try something new it will be purchased with my regular monthly order.

I just placed an order with Gluten Solutions today :

Subtotal: $115.66

Shipping Cost: $12.42

Discount: $11.57

So with my discount I end up paying less than a dollar for shipping. And the stuff I ordered was heavy (over 10 lbs). You also get a free bag of pretzels for getting more than 10 items and when you purchase more than 15 items you get an additional $2 off shipping.

~~~~~~~~~

Now as for the Oreo's we have tried both the MiDel and the Glutano Chocolate O's. We prefer the Glutano Chocolate O's. I purchased a case of 6 boxes last time I ordered! The MiDel were way to sweet and not tasty at all. The Glutano ones are hard, but taste much better. They are smaller than an oreo though, and don't look as much like an Oreo as the MiDel. But I am buying them for the taste, NOT the look. I have also tried the Glutafin Zebra Dreams. They taste really good, but are rectangular, not circles. They are a chocolate "oreo style" cookie with cream filling.

God bless,

Mariann

I make my own Oreo cookies from a recipe from Betty Hagman's The Gluten-free Gourmet Makes Dessert. They are fabulous. They are a little time consuming but worth it. My daughter loves them.

      Hair loss

      By TessaBaker · Posted

      It sounds like you're dealing with a complex situation, and I can understand how frustrating it must be not to have a clear answer. Gut health can indeed play a significant role in various aspects of our well-being, including hair health.

      Thiamine supplementation

      By Celiac16 · Posted

      I have found similar benefits from thiamine. I was diagnosed with celiac at 16 and never really recovered despite strict gluten and dairy free diet and no detectable antibodies on checkup bloodworks. I’ve tried stopping the b1 but start to feel bad again- I wanted my doctors to do more extensive testing for the different thiamine transporters and enzymes which would be a better indication if I was deficient or dependent on it but everyone dismisses it (there are know genetic mutations where you need to take it daily for life). I have looked into Thiamine Responsive Megablast Anemia and I have a lot of the more mild symptoms of the disease that manifest when thiamine isn’t given to the patient such as optic neuritis… I just find the parallels interesting. i think that celiacs could be a side issue of inflammation that resulted from vitamin deficiencies. I was eating a lot of sugar leading up to my diagnosis and since eating gluten free didn’t make me feel much better, I’m wondering if this was more the underlying issue (sugar heavily depletes b1). I usually take 1.5g thiamine a day.

      Thank you for your welcome and reply.  Yes I've been carefully reading labels looking for everything in bold and have been amazed by what I have seen. However Heinz tomato and basil soup is wheat free so I m thinking I already have ulcers?  The acid could be causing the pain . My pain always starts in one place then follows the same route through me . GP confirmed that is the route of our digestive system.  So much pain from stabbing to tearing. If I throw in milk with lactose it's horrific.  Many years of it now, won't go into details but been seeing a consultant for a supposedly different problem . Wondering what damage has been done over the years. Many thanks for your reply. Wishing you the very best.

      Welcome to the forum community, @Fluka66! Did you realize that the vast majority of all canned soups use wheat starch as a thickener, including such common commodities as Campbell's tomato soup?

      By Fluka66 · Posted

      Hello. Any help would really steady my nerves right now. I realised recently that certain food left me in agonising pain so eliminated from my diet. I also have a swollen lymph node. My very caring Dr did some blood tests and I went back the other day to see another equally caring Dr . She looked at the test results one result has come back with something wrong. It came very fast so I'm afraid I didn't catch what it was. Anyway the urgent referral to ENT. She did say as I had already eliminated gluten it wouldn't say anything on the results and neither Drs nor I were prepared to reintroduce gluten . I've just had some tomato soup and again in agony only thinking this must have aggravated maybe existing problems. Does anyone know what I'm facing now ? My swollen lymph node , pain when eating gluten and lactose and I'm assuming the acidity of tomatoes triggering pain.  I'm trying to stay calm and to be honest I've been in intolerable pain at times rendering me unable to stand up straight but I've always just got on with it . Guess I'm reaching out and would really appreciate any wise or unwise words at this stage. Wishing you all the very best as you live with this illness. Fluka66
