:D Hi,

I was wondering about these mi-del chocolate sandwich cookies it says they are wheat free on the front. On the back of the package insmall print it says all ingredients aresourced from gluten-free ingredients. Does that mean Gluten free? Why don't they just say so if it is? Please help cause I want to give them to my son with milk after school. There is no phone number on the package and it is made in Canada. Thanks :D

I am pretty sure those aren't gluten free. Their gluten-free cookies are gingersnaps, arrowroot, mini choc chip, mini pecan. Their gluten-free products are clearly labeled and would say GLUTEN FREE, not just WHEAT FREE. What are the ingredients? Are they made from barley instead of wheat?

THE ANSWER:

Okay, I just talked to the manufacturer. (201.843.8900) They said there are no gluten ingredients in the cookies--however, they are made in a facility with gluten grains, so they do not claim the product is gluten-free. So--I guess its up to you if you feel safe with them or not.

For future reference, Glutano makes an oreo type cookie. I'm not sure if its good--I've never had it. But you can ck it out here: Open Original Shared Link

:D Thanks so much. I will get the Glutano oreo cookie since it is for sure gluten-free. I don't want to risk it for my son with these mi-del ones. The other kids can eat them now, won't they be happy? I will probably have to order the Glutano ones or check and see if locale health food stores carry them. I appreciate your speedy answer. I will pull another after school snack out of my hat now:)

What you saw there on the mi-del stuff was a standard CYA statement. :-) Always gotta use your best judgement on those.

we use the Mi-Del sandwich cookies here and have no problems with them. It's just a CYA statement, but they are very careful. My daughter and I are both extremely sensitive and react to the smallest amt. of gluten and have never (knock on wood) had a problem with Mi-Del oreo type cookies.

Thanks for more info. Now what do I do? I guess I will still try the Glutano ones since we are still new at this and want to make doubly sure he isn't gonna react. It's those silly CYA statements that do me in everytime. Thanks again.

ILOVEOMC-

CYA's are hard...I guess its a matter of trusting the brand and if you or another has had a bad experience. Sure will be great when there is a defined/tested/enforced standard for gluten-free!

      Aveeno products

      By trents · Posted

      Yes, I use Aveeno Moisturizing Body Lotion with prebiotic oat, unscented. I really only use it on my hands and not every day. Haven't noticed it any problems. I don't have dermatitis herpetiformis.

      Having a RAVENOUS appetite (or conversely no appetite at all - anorexia) and unintended weight loss are symptoms of early thiamine deficiency.   People who are physically active, athletes, physical laborers, those who exercise outside regularly have a higher metabolic need for thiamine.  Exercising outside regularly can cause more thiamine loss because sunlight breaks down thiamine.  (This is why people with heat stroke are administered thiamine.)  More thiamine is lost through the kidneys in those who exercise regularly.  Because blood tests for thiamine deficiency is so inaccurate, the World Health Organization suggests, if thiamine deficiency is suspected, give thiamine and look for health improvement.   Do not take Thiamine Mononitrate as this form is not well absorbed nor utilized in the body.  It is frequently found in foods, and multivitamins and B1 supplements because it will not break down with exposure to light while sitting on a shelf at the store.  Thiamine Mononitrate is shelf stable - it won't break down with light exposure - and this makes it not bioavailable.  The body only absorbs about 30% and utilizes less than that because it's so hard to break down.   Benfotiamine and the form of thiamine called TTFD (Tetrahydrofurfuryl Disulfide) and thiamine hydrochloride are wonderful forms to take.   I'm familiar with these symptoms because I dropped sixty pounds in a month because I had developed thiamine deficiency.  I ate well, exercised, and took a multivitamin (with thiamine Mononitrate), but the metabolic needs of my body demanded more.  The years of poor absorption due to undiagnosed Celiac disease had depleted my stores of thiamine.  My doctors did not recognize thiamine deficiency symptoms, even when they progressed to Wernicke's Encephalopathy.  They said I was making things up and sent me home. With nothing else to lose (I could feel myself dying), I took high dose thiamine hydrochloride as the WHO suggested and had improvement within the hour.   I also tried Benfotiamine and TTFD in the months that followed and had even more significant health improvement. Please don't wait until your brain starts malfunctioning or other organs start failing.  Please take thiamine soon.  It's nontoxic and safe even in high doses.  Thiamine works with other B vitamins, especially Riboflavin and Pyridoxine, so supplementing with a B Complex is essential as well.  Magnesium is needed as well to make life sustaining enzymes. There's no harm, no foul in trying Thiamine.  If for no other reason than to prove it is not thiamine deficiency.   P. S.  Thiamine is needed to turn on Vitamin D, turning it into its active form.  Otherwise  Vitamin D can't be utilized and just builds up in the system.

      Oh and yes, thanks, other than being permanently RAVENOUS and not yet putting on weight, I am feeling pretty good. I jog, do yoga, today cycled 12km to a food market then to another place to get my fish, then my gluten-free bread... My life is All about food!;( But I shld prob. be less active as obv is keeping the pounds off... And having some muscle makes me feel less depressed with my skeletal appearance.
