Gluten Free Cookies

I always used to buy the Mi-Del animal crackers and chocolate chip cookies for my son. We have not been able to find the animal crackers in the store where we shop lately. My mom happened to be at shop rite and bought a bag of the chocolate chip and ginger snaps. Now the bag is labeled "wheat free, gluten free" but then it says on the bag that the cookies are produced in a factory where wheat products are also produced. Is this OK? I thought that this would mean there is a chance for cross contamination. I'd like to know some of your opinions. Are you still going to eat this brand?

Mi-Del cookies have always been produced in a shared facility with products containing gluten... so far we haven't had any problems with them, but you will have to use your own judgement on this one. Personally, I don't think they are the best tasting cookies around, but my daughter LOVES them, so I get them for her... she is very sensitive to small amts. of gluten and they don't seem to bother her at all. (she reacts to Van's gluten-free waffles...)

My daughter loves the arrowroot cookies - we haven't had problems with them.

I used to enjoy their arrowroot and "oreo" type cookies, but always seemed to suffer mild symptons afterwards. I've switched to Kinikinick oreos (Only way to make cookies'n cream Ice cream) and I've been very happy. Those "processed in a facility..." warnings always scare me- ESPECIALLY when they claim gluten-free on the front...what gives? If you're not 100% sure then don't make the claim! Peoples' health is at stake for crying out loud!

I bought a bag of Mi-Del's cookies this past weekend and was reading the ingredients. These cookies are labeled as wheat free and gluten free. Under the ingredients is an allery warning stating that they were made in a factory that also produces wheat products. Doesn't that make them a cross contamination risk and therefore should not be labeled as gluten free?

I'm very sensitive and have no problem with them. There's another pretty current thread on these same cookies you might want to read.

Many well known gluten free companies still have that cross contamination risk. I have not run into a problem too much with the brands that have the cc risk. You see, they clean the lines in between but they put that there to cover their butt.

I LOVE Ener G vanilla choc. cream cookies. I just ordered two more packages. If you really need a chocolate fix I have melted choc. chips and dipped these in it and let it harden. YMMMMMM

I have always reacted to Mi-Del Cookies, exept for the oreo-style ones. Avoid them like the plague!

      Second child with Celia

      By lizzie42 · Posted

      After my 3 year old daughter's diagnosis, we all got tested. My 5 year old son also came back positive with number 12x the upper limit.  We will confirm with another tTG and the other 2 tests in the panel.  He has zero symptoms that I have noticed. Maybe occasionally vomiting. He does have asthma. He's kind of an a**hole sometimes but also he's 5. He has SO much energy. Like miles and miles of biking, running, gymnastics. Never stops. Eats great, normal growth. It was comparing my daughter to him that made me push to figure out what was wrong with her!  Is it possible for a tTG test to just be totally wrong?

      European travel with Celiac Disease

      By CJF · Posted

      I'm heading to the UK for a vacation the end of this month on a tour with Road Scholar. I haven't been out of the US since my diagnosis so I'm a little concerned about exposure to gluten during my travels. Most of our meals are provided by the tour. Either the hotels we are staying at, or places we will visit. Road Scholar is aware of my dietary needs as well. Any helpful hints about navigating the restaurants in England is greatly appreciated. Also are there any medications out there to help mitigate the effects of exposure to gluten? Thanks in advance.
