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.

      Fighting for a name

      By Jmartes71 · Posted

      Im so frustrated and still getting the run around trying to reprove my celiac disease which my past primary ignored for 25 years.I understand that theres a ray of medical that doctors are limited too but not listening and telling the patient ( me) that im not as sensitive as I think and NOT celiac!Correction Mr white coat its not what I think but for cause and affect and past test that are not sticking in my medical records.I get sick violently with foods consumed, not eating the foods will show Im fabulous. After many blood draws and going through doctors I have the HLA- DQ2 positive which I read in a study that Iran conducted that the severity in celiac is in that gene.Im glutenfree and dealing with related issues which core issue of celiac isn't addressed. My skin, right eye, left leg diagestive issues affected. I have high blood pressure because im in pain.Im waisting my time on trying to reprove that Im celiac which is not a disease I want, but unfortunately have.It  has taken over my life personally and professionally. How do I stop getting medically gaslight and get the help needed to bounce back if I ever do bounce back to normal? I thought I was in good care with " celiac specialist " but in her eyes Im good.Im NOT.Sibo positive, IBS, Chronic Fatigue just to name a few and its all related to what I like to call a ghost disease ( celiac) since doctors don't seem to take it seriously.

      @Martha Mitchell, your reaction to the lens implant with gluten sounds like it could be an allergic reaction rather than a celiac reaction. It is possible for a celiac to be also allergic to gluten as it is a protein component in wheat, barley and rye.

      Scott I also have different symptoms than most people. It affects me bad. Stomach ache, headache, nauseous, heart racing, whole body shaking, can't walk then my throat starts to close. It attacks my nervous system. The only thing that saves me is a 1/2 of Xanax...it calms down my nervous system

      Scott Adams. I was dealing with a DR that didn't care about me being celiac. I repeatedly told him that I was celiac and is everything gluten-free. He put an acrylic lens from j&j. I called the company to ask about gluten and was told yes that the acrylic they use has gluten....then they back tracked immediately and stopped talking to me. The Dr didn't care that I was having issues. It took me 6 months and a lot of sickness to get it removed.... which can only happen within 6 months. The Dr that took it out said that it was fused and that's why I lost vision. If they would have removed it right away everything would be fine. He put in a silicone one that was gluten-free and I've had no issues at all in the other eye. Do not do acrylic!
