Re: Frookie Brand Cookies - Regression?????

[Guest guest]

Hi:

I don't think it was your imagination. Tonight my son went ballistic after

eating these frookies. He was acting just like he used to a year ago.

We asked him what made him sick and he said the cookies. If it was

something else , I don't know what it was. It made me think back to the old

days when he was like this everyday.

Hi

Here is another thought on these cookies. Since they are run on the same

lines as gluten/casein , certain batches might be different depending on how

well they wash them. The thing is I have tried these cookies in the beginning

of the diet/ Bad reaction. Lately he seems more tolerant so I tried them

again/NO reaction. Last box he was screaming, crying and kicking. So either I

have the wrong culprit, batches vary or it is something completely different.

But remember he is telling me the cookies made him sick. Now he could not do

this one year ago. kelly

Despite the cookie regression, it's encouraging to hear of such wonderful

success! Congratulations and thanks for bringing this question to this list.

I've been looking at the unopened box, I read the ingredients and then saw

the D next to the Kosher sign. I've been trying to decide whether or not to

open the box. I think I'll return it, now. Thanks again

I stopped buying the Frookies when I found out about my children's corn

allergy. I can't remeber exactly but I think that was why I stopped buying

them Anyway it's worth checking the label again.

The gluten and casein free Frookies are run on the same line as their

regular cookies. The dairy outside of the K means it either contains dairy

or was processed on the same line that processes a product that DOES contain

dairy.

Hence chances of cross contamination. Anytime you see the K symbol with the

D outside of it or dairy outside of the K, it either contains dairy or it

may be cross contaminated.

Frookies have claimed they wash their lines very throughly between runs.

Your son may be very sensitive, the line was not washed as thoroughly or he

may be developing another food allergy. Hang in there!

Hi,

I called the company about these cookies on Monday and was

told they were casein and gluten free. I just started giving

these cookies three days ago - no reactions yet; I'm hoping they

are okay because she really likes them and I get her to take her

vitamins with these as a reward (only one!) . Maybe it is another

ingredient that is causing the problem?

The Frookie cookies are on the gfcfdiet list as being GFCF with a

possible cross-contamination problem. We use them occassionally

without any noticable problems.

I thought the chocolate chip ones had casein in them and that's why we don't

eat them. Check it out I think that might be the culperit.
