Glutano Caramel Crunch Cookies

Blech, blech, blech. I didn't like these at all. The "caramel" doesn't resemble caramel at all. It's a slightly gritty white cream. The flavors don't blend at all. Maybe this is a case of a box sitting in a warehouse too long. But, wow, I don't like these at all. Considering it was $5.57 for the box of eight cookies, I thought I'd post a review here.

Anyone else with better opinions of this product to share with the board?

Nancy, I'm so sorry you didn't enjoy them. My mother got me a box for Christmas last year and these were the absolutely most phenomenal cookies I've ever indulged upon. The caramel was definitely not white, though it was slighly butterscotchy in nature. They were my very favorite of all the store bought treats! I hope if you decide to give them a shot again that you have a much better experience.

Guhlia, I'm glad you posted a rave for these. I hate bashing a product so badly, so it's nice to have some balance. It sounds like maybe the ones I got may have been old because that filling was definitely white. I might try them again if they show up in one of the stores around here.

On a side note, I tried your Cheetos chicken nuggets last night. YUM!!! And they were so easy. I'm getting ready to heat some up for my kids for lunch. If they like them, I'm going to be SOOOOO happy!

Nancy, I'm soooooooooo glad you like the nuggets. They were definitely enjoyed in our household too. Now I need to get my act together and make another batch so my husband can try them. He was out of town at the time.

The filling in mine was definitely caramel colored, not white. It had an odd texture though, kind of like the filling used in Goetz caramel rounds maybe. I always like that texture though, pre-gluten-free. Man, now I'm really missing those caramel rounds... They were my absolute favorite candy. Anyone have a good substitution?

      Contradicting length of time for gluten challenge - please help to ensure not getting false negative. Thank you!

      Good luck to you.  I would not get past that first slice of bread.  I would be vomiting and have diarrhea within 30 minutes and it would continue for hours and I would feel like I was hit by a truck for days.  My functional medicine doctor told me to stop taking Calcium and to significantly up my Vitamin D, add K2, lots of Magnesium, some boron and collagen.  This was all recommended after taking the Spectracell test for nutrient deficiencies.  Started doing this at 54 when diagnosed and at 72 no issues with the old bones.

      Gluten-Free House Swaps

      By Recently diagnosed · Posted

      I live in Ottawa Canada and would be interested in a swap with someone who also has a gluten-free house. I’d love to swap out in winter for somewhere warm.

      Celiac or Addison's complications? Can someone share their experience?

      By trents · Posted

      @KRipple, thank you for the lab results from your husband's celiac disease blood antibody testing. The lab result you share would seem to be the tTG-IGA (Tissue Transglutaminase IGA) and the test result is in excess of 10x normal. This is significant as there is an increasing tendency for physicians to grant a celiac disease diagnosis on the basis of antibody testing alone when the scores on that particular test exceed 10x normal. This trend started in the UK during the COVID pandemic when there was tremendous pressure on the medical system over there and it has spread to the USA. The tTG-IGA is the centerpiece of celiac disease blood antibody testing. All this to say that some doctors would grant a celiac disease diagnosis on your husband's bloodwork alone and not feel a need to go forward with an endoscopy with biopsy. This is something you and your husband might wish to take up with his physicians. In view of his many health issues it might be wise to avoid any further damage to his small bowel lining by the continuing consumption of gluten and also to allow healing of such to progress. The lining of the small bowel is the place where essentially all of our nutrition is absorbed. This is why celiac disease, when it is not addressed with a gluten free diet for many years, typically results in additional health problems that are tied to nutritional deficiencies. The millions and millions of tiny finger-like projections that make up the nutrient absorbing surface of the small bowel lining are worn down by the constant inflammation from gluten consumption. In celiac disease, the immune system has been tricked into labeling gluten as an invader. As these finger-like projections are worn down, the efficiency of nutrient absorption becomes more and more compromised. We call this villous atrophy.
