Smartcakes?

Does anyone eat Tangerine Smartcakes?  They were recommended to me - they look delicious, are low cal, low sugar and they are said to be made in a dedicated Gluten Free Facility.  However, one of the ingredients in Oat Fiber, but I don't see anything on there about these being Certified Oats.  Nor does the Gluten Free icon on the packaging indicated 'certified'.

I'll probably get in touch with the company to be sure before I order them, but thought I'd check here.

Thanks.

Technically, at least on the US, you aren’t supposed to list ingredients as “gluten-free oats” or “gluten-free whatever “.  some still do that.

the website says

Q. How can you guarantee that your products are gluten-free?
A. We have a strict dedicated gluten-free facility that manufactures only gluten-free products. All the ingredients that enter our facility are verified gluten-free.

It should be gluten free.  The cakes are designed for low carb dieters (keto, diabetics).  Just be careful with the substitute sugar — Erythritol.  Your body can not digest it, hence fewer calories.  Maybe not good for a person with GI issues.  Go slowly!

Few things to consider with those, 1. High fiber, if your not used to it there is going to be a adjustment period of bloat, gas, maybe constipation,
2. Erythritol, I use it daily but if you do not use sugar alcohols often there is again a adjustment phase for your gut normally causing diarrea
3. Whey Protein, many with celaiacs can have issues with various forms of dairy.

If you looking for a plain low carb bread look up Julian Bakery....for desserts that are GRAIN free low carb look up KNOWFoods....both better choices then the smart cakes but have some of the same issues.

Thank you, all -- I hadn't seen that on their website, about the "verified gluten free"; perhaps I read too quickly.

And thanks for the heads up about the possible issue - I definitely would have been freaked out by GI issues around eating them.  At least now I'll know.  And I'll look up this Julian Bakery.

^Low carb bread, muffins, waffles, cookies, etc. All low carb and keto friendly great for diabetics

*^ This is the only one I buy, grain free, low carb crust, and the plant based one is great, NOTE these make a New york style flat crust, I use 15 min prebake before adding toppings to make them extra crispy
Few things that might be of interest, OH and Protes makes low carb chips from vegan plant protein, they recently started selling them at some CVS stores...expenisve but the only chip other then my own I can enjoy now days.

      Jsingh, I have not. I emailed over the weekend, so I assume I'll get a response this week hopefully. I'll post as soon as I hear back.

      Celiac Maybe a Possibility?

      By Aleda D · Posted

      Oh, also, just based on my horrific reactions to them and continued aftereffects, I will never consent to take another PPI, nor another fluoroquinolone-related antibiotic. I am alarmed to read PPIs are sometimes prescribed to infants and children. Even my dog was prescribed Prilosec.    I don’t see how medications that indescriminately kill off digestive flora can actually help with celiac disease and NCGS, as these conditions already block healthy digestion. In my case, I took a PPI daily for about 4 years as prescribed by my GP, developing arthritic symptoms at an alarming rate in my 40s and 50s. I remembered the worst GERD event being when I ate a saltine at 10 AM, breaking the nightly fast. Volcanic GERD. What’s in a saltine? Wheat. I cut out wheat and barley and rye, and eventually oats (still eat certified gluten-free oats though) and have been eliminating gluten and gluten-contaminated foods since 2013. But the most recent PPI treatment for breakthrough GERD scar tissue narrowing my espophagus kicked arthritis and muscle pains into high gear, making me feel 190 years old. I stopped the PPI after a month of suffering. The medicine was much worse than the ailment. So my advice to those with celiac disease and NCGS is to avoid fluoroquinolones and PPIs. Find the cause of the escaping acid and address it. In my case, I regularly need animal derived protein to mop up all the acid I seem to produce. I hate that, because I’m an animal lover, but it is what it is.

      Impossible to get diagnosis?

      By allis · Posted

      One had hydrolyzed wheat protein and the other had triticum vulgare starch, so both had gluten. After the second time it happened, I went through all of my other products to ensure they were gluten free and they are, so it’s definitely the gluten I’m reacting to. I’m not surprised this is happening now—I had a shaved head for the last 5 years but am now growing it out so I’m using products again when I hadn’t been for awhile! Both products were new. So I should see an allergist to confirm the allergy? Is there a way to confirm the celiac without eating gluten for weeks and weeks?

      The nutritional deficiency & supplements advice is priceless. I have suspicions I have celiac disease but absolutely cannot put myself through the gluten challenge process to verify the diagnosis. Compounding the probable celiac disease, I feel, is my disastrous reactions to being prescribed years of prilosec/omeprazole, which I finally took myself off of due to symptoms of nutritional deficiencies, followed by being placed on it by my GI for GERD in stints of 2 months off and on. And I suspect it’s possible that a fluroquiolone antibiotic I took also contributed to existing lifelong malabsorption problems. I have made a lot of stringent diet adjustments (super strict about avoiding gluten contamination and I incorporate fermented things) & exercise regularly (walking, resistance, stretching) plus I take Vitamin D3, B6 and B12, but severe muscle spasms, muscle soreness, deep fatigue, joint inflammation and tendency to infections and brain fog keep dogging me.  I appreciate the supplements and the Omega ratios advice very much!!

      Rectal pain

      By cristiana · Posted

      I also have experienced this from time to time.  It seems to tie in with episodes of IBS, eating too much fibre but also because I have issues with my pudendal nerve - perhaps some sort of inflammation.  Not fun at all when it strikes.
