Loving pretzels, I can’t imagine a world without them. But those with celiac disease must do without not only pretzels, but bread, pizza, pasta and all other products made with wheat. Celiac disease is a chronic inflammatory disease that predominately affects the small bowel, resulting in an intolerance to ingested gluten, the storage protein of wheat.
Luckily, companies are now producing delicious alternatives to the products the rest of us can purchase easily. For a price, of course. Glutino, maker of many gluten-free products, offer pretzels that are not only wheat free, but milk, casein and egg free too. They also contain no artificial flavors, colors or preservatives. And they taste good!
Offered as Twists or Sticks (14.1 oz bag for $5.99), or Snack Packs (2.6 oz snack pack for $1.99). Available at www.glutino.com and in specialty stores.
Actually, you can find these from glutenfree.com as the Glutino.com as partnered with glutenfree.com to bring the products to retail customers.

Yes, these are great! As a “discriminating” glutenfree eater (I’d rather do without than eat something substandard), I find these delicious. After I’ve opened a bag, I keep them in the freezer so I won’t devour them in one sitting, but they’ll remain fresh.
I agree. I am able to eat gluten, yet still purchase these. They are the lightest, most delicious pretzel I’ve had – and a pretzel connoisseur I am 😉 I thank my wheat-free friend for introducing them to me.
