Robert’s Potato Flyers

I mentioned our recent Trader Joe ‘stocking up’ of gluten-free supplies recently.  One of the things we picked up were Robert’s Potato Flyers.  Robert’s makes an entire line of snacks, including our favorite Pirate Booty (reviewed here http://www.raleighcelkids.com/?s=pirate) with just about everything gluten free. The Potato Flyers were advertised as baked potato crisps.  We figured these [...]

Waffle/Sugar Cones!

Awhile ago (June 14, 2009 to be exact), we reviewed Edward & Sons’ Gluten Free Ice Cream Cones.  These were in the ‘cup’ shape.  While shopping at Whole Foods in Raleigh recently, we found Let’s Do…Gluten Free Sugar Cones.  Some also call them waffle cones, but either way, they are the type with a pointy [...]

Snyder’s Gluten Free Pretzels

A large reason why the Raleigh Cel-Kids helps parents is the sharing of information.  At our most recent event, I talked with some parents, discussing various products.  One mentioned finding Snyder’s gluten free pretzels at Whole Foods.  Yes, the mainstream pretzel/chip manufacturer.  For a Celiac family, this represented huge news.  While we love the Glutino [...]

Snyder’s Naturals

Snyder’s really seems to be gluten free friendly these days.  Many of their chips/products seemed to be gluten free, according to the ingredient lists, but we noticed, in puchasing the Naturals Corn and Rice Puffs recently, they clearly mark the package as gluten free.  Yeah! Also, we heard rumors of Snyder’s gluten free pretzel.  Check [...]

Go Gurt

Our family LOVES yogurt.  And while many of the kid-focused yogurt contains an ample amount of sugar, it does contain needed calcium and vitamins hard to get in a gluten free diet.  So we encourage our girls to consume. You do need to watch which brands you purchase.  Some do contain gluten.  Obviously the ones [...]

Rita’s Italian Ice & Other Treats

Rounding out our tour of gluten free summer frozen treats, we come to Rita’s Italian Ice.  Nothing says summer like one of those frozen, icy cups that you need a jackhammer to chisel away at.  Lemonade was always my favorite when going to an amusement park or at the beach. So what is gluten free, [...]

FlavorIce, Otter Pops, and Pop Ice

If you visit a grocery store in the summer, chances are you pass by Flavor-Ice, Otter Pops, or Pop Ice.  Or if you ever attended a summer camp, vacation bible school, or summer school, you probably snacked on one of them for a treat.  You would think they contain water, flavoring, and sugar, but with [...]

Popsicles

While many brands of popsicles exist, usually we refer to the Popsicle brand when discussing Popsicles.  For the longest time, we were unsure about the gluten status of Popsicle brand pops.  Of course, reading those labels and understanding the ingredients takes a doctoral degree in Chemistry.  Recently, however, we became more confident about their labeling.
