    Celiac.com 01/15/2019 - The annual Girl Scout cookie season is kicking off for 2019 with some fresh new cookies, including the gluten-free Caramel Chocolate Chip. The Scouts’ newest treat is flavored with semi-sweet chocolate chips, caramel and a hint of sea salt. 

    The gluten-free Caramel Chocolate Chip cookie is the first new Girl Scout cookie since their popular S’mores was introduced in 2016, and the first new gluten-free cookie since the Girl Scouts first introduced gluten-free cookies nationally in 2015. Each Caramel Chocolate Chip cookie has just under 60 calories, 4 grams of sugar and just under 3 grams of fat. Other traditional Girl Scout favorites include Thin Mints, Do-si-dos, Samoas and Trefoils.

    Celiac.com Sponsor (A12):
     The Girl Scouts have two other gluten-free offerings: Toffee-tastic, a buttery cookie with sweet and crunchy golden toffee bits, and Trios, a peanut butter oatmeal cookie with chocolate chips.

    The Girl Scout Cookie Program is committed to promoting entrepreneurial and business skills in girls. According to a statement by Girl Scouts of the USA CEO Sylvia Acevedo “…all Girl Scout Cookie proceeds stay local to power year-round troop projects and activities, when you buy Girl Scout Cookies, you are making an investment in girls and in your local community."

    Cookies prices may vary regionally, as they are set individually by each of the local 112 Girl Scout councils. To buy Girl Scout cookies, including their newest gluten-free Caramel Chocolate Chip, download the Girl Scout Cookie Finder app or go to Girlscoutcookies.org and enter your zip code.

    Have you tried the Girl Scouts’ new gluten-free Caramel Chocolate Chip or other gluten-free cookies yet? If you do, please chime in and let us know your thoughts.

    I tried the Toffee-tastic when it was the first gluten-free cookie. Sorry, but I found it disgusting. I will consider trying one of the other two since I have a little friend selling them.

    Do the gluten-free cookies contain yeast, yeast extract, dairy or egg?

    These are gluten cross-reactors.

    Many in the non-celiac community are searching for gluten-free products in order to sustain good health.

    Bravo girl scouts!

    Yum! Best boxed gluten-free cookies ever.  Wish I could get them year round - probably best for my waist line that I can't.

    No these are certified gluten-free and are made in a dedicated facility.  However, these are made with oats and some celiacs react to oats — gluten free or not.  Plus, these are a processed food.  You could be reacting to something other than gluten.

    Me?  I am an adult Girl Scout who has celiac disease.

    Celiac.com 10/22/2013 - Yeah, you heard right. People who've been dreaming of the day the Girl Scouts would offer a gluten-free cookie can stop dreaming!

    Gluten-free Wasteland Girl Scout Crushes Cookie Sales
    Celiac.com 03/28/2017 - A savvy Girl Scout from New Jersey is close to selling more cookies than anyone in history thanks to her brutal reviews of the sweet treats that have gone viral.
    Employing brutally honest cookie reviews, skilled networking and aggressive sales tactics, 11-year-old Charlotte McCourt set a new Girl Scout cookie-selling world record by selling 21,477 boxes of cookies, shattering the 35 year old previous record.
    Originally, Charlotte was aiming to sell at least 300 boxes. As part of her effort, McCourt rated all of her cookies on a scale from 1 to 10, and included frankly worded reviews. She then emailed the rankings and reviews of her offerings to her dad's "rich" friend in hopes of swaying him to purchase a bulk of her 300-box goal.

      Celiac Maybe a Possibility?

      It seems you have proven that you cannot eat gluten. You've done what your doctors have not been able to do in 40 years. That's your low vitamin D, a common symptom with Celiac Disease. Zinc is also a common defiency. Its an antiviral. that's why zinc gluconate lozenges work against airborne viruses. Vitamin D and the Immune System+ ...

      Weird Symptoms

      My mother also has celiac disease, and one of her symptoms for many years before her diagnosis was TMJ. I believe it took her many years on a gluten-free diet before this issue went away.

      Weird Symptoms

      Ear pain and ringing your entire life may or may not be TMJ related but could be something else. A good TMJ exam would be helpful to rule that out as a potential cause from a dentist who treats that. I have teens as well as adults of all ages who suffer from TMJ issues so it’s not a certain age when it shows up.

      Weird Symptoms

      Not sure if related to coeliac disease but my ear ringing has stepped up a notch since diagnosis. Even since a child silence really hurts my ears - there is always a really loud noise if there is no other noise in a quiet room - but my brain has learned to filter it out. Since diagnosis in my forties I also get a metallic ringing in my ears, sometimes...
