I've only had them once, but there is a cookie called K-Too's that is just exactly like an oreo. I think it's by knikkinick, but I'm not 100% positive on that.

They are made by Kinninick, they are so good! Try the vanilla cream as well. I was impressed.

I have good news and bad news-- the good news is the cravings do go away. Especially if you stay away from your former favorite foods. The bad news is that gluten in an integral part in making certain foods taste good. Especially processed baked goods. You will never find a cookie without gluten that tastes as good as an oreo. However, if you wait few months you will forget what they taste like and some of the gluten free cookies will begin to taste better.

I know this sounds grim, but it really isn't that bad. It gets easier, especially if you don't cheat.

What I would recommend doing is spending a few months pigging out on the naturally gluten free popular junk food like full size snickers, M&Ms, Swedish Fish, Sour Patch Kids and Tostidos. Then after a few months try the Glutano Chocolate O's Sandwich Gluten-Free Cookies (the best fake oreos I have found). If you try them now you will think they are disgusting. If you wait 4-5 months they will be palatable and slightly addicting.

Good luck!

Edit: there are good oreos out there? I have never seen that brand. I will have to try them!

Try the kinock imitation oreos they are the best. The midel ones are decent but not as enjoyable.

Definitely try the Kinnikinnick Kinnitoos. The chocolate and vanilla flavors are both great. My husband could not believe they were gluten-free. I have to hide them from my kids because they can't stop eating them. And if my kids eat them all, there are none left for me!!

I think the Mi-del ones are only good for crushing up and using as cookie crusts. My kids call them hockey pucks!

I love the k-too's so does my gluten eating inlaws. I made an oreo sundae for them. Crushed oreos (1 1/2 packages) with 1/2 cup butter melted mixed and spread on a 13 by 9. Then vanilla softened ice cream, then 1 1/2 jars of smucker's hot fudge sauce on top of that, cool whip on top of that and the last of the oreos crushed sprinkled on top. They loved it!

I think the Kinnickinnick ones are best.....I gave one to both my husband and to my son and neither one realized it wasn't the "real" thing. I tried the Midel ones but didn't like them as much.

Also....Kinnickinnick makes a fabulous "animal" cookie type cookie....I forget what they call it but it's on their website. Super crispy and actually better than the real animal crackers, which I love. Unfortunately, the first ingredient is sugar so they're not so good for you, but boy do they taste good. :D

Apparently their chocolate doughnuts are good, and I really like their pizza crusts.

K-toos are so much like Oreos that, unless they read the lettering on them, most people can't tell the difference. :)

The only difference I can tell with k-toos is the "stuff' isn't as greasy and they don't leave that disgusting grease film on the roof of your mouth. Which is a huge bonus if you ask me.

If you have any health food stores in your area you might check there. I have a couple of stores in my area that actually carry some of the Knikkinick products. My Whole Foods does not carry them though, but there's a smaller store that does.

In my experience, it seems that smaller privately-owned natural food stores usually carry Kinnickinnick products more often than the larger chains do. The closest place I can find them is 45 minutes away from me, but it is SOOO worth it. :D

I think the happiest moment of my Gluten-free Casein-free life was when I made my own Gluten-free Casein-free cookies & cream ice cream with the Kinnickinnick cookies and Gluten-free Casein-free vanilla ice cream!! It was HEAVEN!

      Sore mouth lining and Coeliac Disease.

      By cristiana · Posted

      A pleasure.   It could just be the oats (even pure ones can cause problems for some coeliacs, as I mentioned) but don't be discouraged if that is the issue, as for most of us that passes.  Very odd, really, as before going on a gluten free diet, they had no effect on  me at all!

      Inhaler problem

      By Ann13 · Posted

      My POINT trents, was actually related to food more than inhalers causing your issue. My POINT is that even though gluten free food is supposed to not cause a reaction it does and can in some people so think about what you're eating...premade foods labeled gluten free like breads, pastry, cookies....whatever you're consuming....may be causing the reaction. I can't eat any gluten free breads from stores & certain pasta is a no too...others are OK. You may want to eliminate certain foods and see if your problem clears up.  2. Check with the inhaler manufacturer to ensure it's gluten free. Other than those two points if it continues a throat scope by an ENT may be needed to rule out other things.

      Thanks Christina.  The Granola products I tried were marked Gluten Free so supposed to be suitable.  I've had many tests done but no results yet but I get the results in next day or so.   I may well have these issues due to deficiencies. Just wanted to get some anecdotal feedback about the issue before I see the GE specialist   If and wwhenI get an answer, I'll post it her. Cheers!! Carmel

      Sore mouth lining and Coeliac Disease.

      By cristiana · Posted

      Hi @Farralley and welcome to the form I have had soreness, ulcers and also find my tongue and inside my mouth is very sensitive and blisters easily (blood blisters) if I bite something sharp.  Ulcers were a big issue twice before I was diagnosed, the doctors didn't put two and two together and think of coeliac disease, but I had two episodes where I had so many, even eating toast and marmalade made me think I was chewing glass. In your case, what you are describing could well be due to a reaction to cross contamination, or perhaps even a sensitivity to oats?  Are you consuming gluten free oats - i.e. certified pure oats, free from contamination?  You will probably know that coeliacs cannot eat standard oats, they have to be oats that are grown and processed separately from gluten containing grains, and certified as such.  But even then, a small percentage of coeliacs cannot tolerate pure oats, in the short term while they are recovering, or even in the longer term, unfortunately.  It took me eight years before I stopped reacting to even pure oats and now eat them with no issues, but for some a reaction to the protein avenin in oats can be either a temporary or long term issue. Another issue is you may be short of iron or B12 and other B vitamins, which can leave your mouth sore and prone to ulcers.  Have you had these levels tested recently?  If the burning continues, I'd definitely ask your doctors to do another blood test. Lastly - you may have burning mouth syndrome, do have a look into that, which could just be a temporary reaction to something - food, a new toothpaste, reflux? For now, in your shoes I'd probably keep an eye on any recurrences and perhaps keep a food diary to see if there is a pattern.  Have the blood test to check for deficiencies, and try to eat soft, bland food for a few days to help recovery along. Hope this helps, Cristiana

      Sore mouth lining and Coeliac Disease.

      By Farralley · Posted

      Hi all I was diagnosed wuth Coeliac Disease about 9 months ago after my GP was investigating chronic anaemia. I had an endoscopy and 'total atrophy of the villa' was observed. I have recently had test to check fir other nutrient deficiencies. The test resilts will be shared with me soon during a visit to the Gastro Entrologist.  My concern is a sore mouth lining. I'm not certain but thought that consumption of a gluten free Granola which contained freeze dried berries seems to coincide with the soreness.. it's taken weeks and a range of over-the-counter remedied to reduce the soreness.  I've also been casting around for a remedy and a genuine cause. Perhaps foolishly I  purchased another similar product ( no frozen berries) and my mouth has become a lot sorer almost immediately.  No doubt my doctor will have some ideas. Just wondering if  1. Others had mouth soreness 2. Others had difficulty with gluten-free Granola-like cereal. TThans in advance. Farralley     .
