Gf Oreo Alternative

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.

      As far as I know and I have made severalonline searches, celiac disease disease has not been recognized as a cause of migraines or any eye problems. What I wrote must have been confusing.

      There is much helpful 'truth' posted on this forum. Truths about Celiac Disease are based on scientific research and people's experience. Celiac disease is inherited. There are 2 main Celiac 'genes' but they are variations of one gene called HLa - DQ What is inherited when a person inherits one or both of the DQ2 or the DQ8 is a predisposition to develop celiac disease after exposure to a environmental trigger. These 2 versions of the DQ gene are useful in diagnosing  celiac disease but there are about 25 other genes that are known to influence celiac disease so this food intolerance is a multigenic autoimmune disease. So with so many genes involved and each person inheriting a different array of these other genes one person's symptoms may be different than another's symptoms.  so many of these other genes.  I don't think that much research on these other genes as yet. So first I wrote something that seem to tie together celiac disease and migraines.  Then you posted that you had migraines and since you went gluten free they only come back when you are glutened. Then Scott showed an article that reported no connection between migraines and celiac disease, Then Trents wrote that it was possible that celiacs had more migraines  and some believed there was a causal effect. You are each telling the truth as you know it or experienced it.

      Aldi Pueblo Lindo Yellow Corn Tortillas

      By tiffanygosci · Posted

      Another annoying thing about trying to figure this Celiac life out is reading all of the labels and considering every choice. I shop at Aldi every week and have been for years. I was just officially diagnosed Celiac a couple weeks ago this October after my endoscopy. I've been encouraged by my local Aldi in that they have a lot of gluten free products and clearly labeled foods. I usually buy Milagro corn tortillas because they are cheap and are certified. However, I bought a package of Aldi's Pueblo Lindo Yellow Corn Tortillas without looking too closely (I was assuming they were fine... assuming never gets us anywhere good lol) it doesn't list any wheat products and doesn't say it was processed in a facility with wheat. It has a label that it's lactose free (hello, what?? When has dairy ever been in a tortilla?) Just, ugh. If they can add that label then why can't they just say something is gluten free or not? I did eat some of the tortillas and didn't notice any symptoms but I'm just not sure if it's safe. So I'll probably have to let my family eat them and stick with Milagro. There is way too much uncertainty with this but I guess you just have to stick with the clearly labeled products? I am still learning!

I will look into it more as I plan my little dinner to bring with on the Holiday I'm also glad a lot of research has been done for Celiac. There's still a lot to learn and discover. And everyone has different symptoms. For me, I get a bad headache right away after eating gluten. Reoccurring migraines and visual disturbances were actually what got my PCP to order a Celiac Panel. I'm glad he did! I feel like when the inflammation hits my body it targets my head, gut, and lower back. I'm still figuring things out but that's what I've noticed after eating gluten! I have been eating gluten-free for almost two months now and haven't had such severe symptoms. I ate a couple accidents along the way but I'm doing a lot better

"Researchers comparing rates of headaches, including migraines, among celiac patients and a healthy control group showed that celiac subjects experienced higher rates of headaches than control subjects, with the greatest rates of migraines found in celiac women.  Additionally, celiacs had higher rates of migraine than control subjects, especially in women. In fact, four out of five women with celiac disease suffered from migraines, and without aura nearly three-quarters of the time."
