I want to order some gluten-free bars and I'm not sure which ones are gross!!

I thought I remembered reading a post on snack bars but I can't find it now.

Thanks :)

Can anyone help me? I can't get gluten-free bars locally so I have to order them. Larabars, Think Organic, Cliff/Nectar....has anyone tried these or others are there other kinds you like? I'm interested in both snack bars and nutritional bars. :)

I really like the Lara bars but some people don't like them. My fave flavors are Banana Cookie, Apple Pie, and Cherry Pie

I love the Lara Bars! I have only found them at Whole Foods so I can only buy them when I'm at my Mom's house. There is no Whole Foods where I live. :(

I cant eat all of them because I'm sensitive to cinnamon. My favorite is Cherry Pie. I bought Apple Pie (not realizing it had cinnamon) and was planning on exchanging them. I left them at my Mom's and she ate them all in one day! Now she buys that flavor for herself (she is not gluten sensitive).

Thanks everyone!! :) I think I'll try the Lara Bars. I found them on sale through my co-op this month. I think they're around $1.17 per bar. The organic food bars look yummy as well. Do you usually order these online?

Sometimes I need a pick me up and don't feel like cooking... :D

I keep several Lara bars in my purse for when I get hungry and am not somewhere where I can easily get a gluten-free meal... but I also keep them around the house for breakfast on the run or a snack when I am hungry but nothing else sounds good.

oh, but I cannot stand the chocolate one or the ginger spice one... yuck

I tried Think Organic's coconut/chocolate flavor and it tasted OK but it had a funnky smell when I opened it. I was so hungery.....after I finished the bar I thought to myself, "that wasn't too bad." :lol:

I agree-I just found the Larabars and was pleasantly surprised! Even my husband (non-Celiac) liked them.

For a quick snack I really like the Glutino Bars in apple and blueberry. I have never tried the chocolate. They remind me of a nutrigrain bar and a newton cookie combined into one.

I ordered a bar off of the internet called bumble bar. They also sell this at whole foods.

They are very good but they look like bird seed. :) I like them though.

I think the chocolate enjoy life bars taste the best. Also AlpSnack, doesn't taste very good (chocolate/espresso is ok) but I feel really good after I eat it. I think its a good balance of sugars and protein.

Also, thank you from another post regarding Barbara's cereals. I have been feeling sick lately, like I've been glutened, but couldn't figure out what it was. I get fatigue and brain fog as first symptoms, so I was starting to think either it was in my head (maybe i actually am a hypochondriac) or maybe that something else was actually wrong with me. I have been eating a lot of barbara's cereals labeled "gluten free" and was starting th suspect them when I found that her cookies had wheat in them and wondered if they were manufactured in the same facility, but second guessed myself because they say that they are "gluten free" THANKS! I am gonna stop eating Barbara's and let you know how I feel!

      I’m terrified it’s too late for me😭

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Cathijean90! I went 13 years from the first laboratory evidence of celiac disease onset before I was diagnosed. But there were symptoms of celiac disease many years before that like a lot of gas. The first laboratory evidence was a rejected Red Cross blood donation because of elevated liver enzymes. They assume you have hepatitis if your liver enzymes are elevated. But I was checked for all varieties of hepatitis and that wasn't it. Liver enzymes continued to slowly creep up for another 13 years and my PCP tested me for a lot of stuff and it was all negative. He ran out of ideas. By that time, iron stores were dropping as was albumin and total protein. Finally, I took it upon myself to schedule an appointment with a GI doc and the first thing he did was test me for celiac disease. I was positive of course. After three months of gluten free eating the liver enzymes were back in normal range. That was back in about 1992. Your story and mine are more typical than not. I think the average time to diagnosis from the onset of symptoms and initial investigation into causes for symptom is about 10 years. Things are improving as there is more general awareness in the medical community about celiac disease than there used to be years ago. The risk of small bowel lymphoma in the celiac population is 4x that of the general population. That's the bad news is.  The good news is, it's still pretty rare as a whole. Yes, absolutely! You can expect substantial healing even after all these years if you begin to observe a strict gluten free diet. Take heart! But I have one question. What exactly did the paperwork from 15 years ago say about your having celiac disease? Was it a test result? Was it an official diagnosis? Can you share the specifics please? If you have any celiac blood antibody test results could you post them, along with the reference ranges for each test? Did you have an endoscopy/biopsy to confirm the blood test results?

      I’m terrified it’s too late for me😭

      By Cathijean90 · Posted

      I’ve just learned that I had been diagnosed with celiac and didn’t even know. I found it on paperwork from 15 years ago. No idea how this was missed by every doctor I’ve seen after the fact. I’m sitting here in tears because I have really awful symptoms that have been pushed off for years onto other medical conditions. My teeth are now ruined from vomiting, I have horrible rashes on my hands, I’ve lost a lot of weight, I’m always in pain, I haven’t had a period in about 8-9 months. I’m so scared. I have children and I saw it can cause cancer, infertility, heart and liver problems😭 I’ve been in my room crying for the last 20minutes praying. This going untreated for so long has me feeling like I’m ruined and it’s going to take me away from my babies. I found this site googling and I don’t know really what has me posting this besides wanting to hear from others that went a long time with symptoms but still didn’t know to quit gluten. I’m quitting today, I won’t touch gluten ever again and I’m making an appointment somewhere to get checked for everything that could be damaged. Is this an automatic sentence for cancer and heart/liver damage after all these symptoms and years? Is there still a good chance that quitting gluten and being proactive from here on out that I’ll be okay? That I could still heal myself and possibly have more children? Has anyone had it left untreated for this amount of time and not had cancer, heart, fertility issues or liver problems that couldn’t be fixed? I’m sure I sound insane but my anxiety is through the roof. I don’t wanna die 😭 I don’t want something taking me from my babies. I’d gladly take anyone’s advice or hear your story of how long you had it before being diagnosed and if you’re still okay?

      diagnostic testing variance

      By trents · Posted

      Genetic testing cannot be used to diagnose celiac disease but it can be used to rule it out and also to establish the potential to develop celiac disease. About 40% of the general population has the genetic potential to develop celiac disease but only about 1% actually develop it. To develop celiac disease when you have the genetic potential also requires some kind of trigger to turn the latent genes "on", as it were. The trigger can be a lot of things and is the big mystery component of the celiac disease puzzle at this point in time with regard to the state of our knowledge.  Your IGA serum score would seem to indicate you are not IGA deficient and your tTG-IGA score looks to be in the normal range but in the future please include the reference ranges for negative vs. positive because different labs used different reference ranges. There is no industry standard.

      Since nearly 40% of the population have the genes for celiac disease, but only ~1% end up getting it, a genetic test will only tell you that it is possible that you could one day get celiac disease, it would not be able to tell whether you currently have it or not.

      so much to it.  the genetic testing will help if i don’t have it right? If theres no gene found then I definitely don’t have celiac?  I guess genetic testing, plus ruling out h.pylori, plus gluten challenge will be a good way to confirm yes or no for celiac.
