I am wondering if people have tried these, they say Gluten free but not sure I am 100% ok after them? Get a bit of fatigue a few hours later. Thanks!

They should be under 20 ppm of gluten if clearly labeled gluten free on the package.   Some celiacs are more sensitive, so you need to use your own judgement.

Just to clarify, if something in the USA is labelled "gluten-free," as the Atkins bars are labelled, it does not mean that they contain 10-19 ppm, as they may have zero detectable gluten. It is true that gluten-free certification organizations have even higher standards, but it is a total fallacy to assume that something which is labelled gluten-free automatically contains more gluten than something that is certified gluten-free. The bars are safe for those with celiac disease.

True, but some celiacs are definitely more sensitive than others based on forum members who have DH and have reported rashes from gluten free labeled products.  
 

Personally, there are better bars out in the market for celiacs.  The Atkin bars are made in a facility with wheat (which may or may not be an issue) and they contain soy, nuts, corn and milk.  Many food types that celiacs often have intolerances too.  I would look for a simpler bar with fewer ingredients like  Lara Bars.  The OP might have issues with these other foods.

This one should be fine.  It is labeled gluten free.  You said you did not feel well after eating them. It could be due to additional intolerances to dairy, soy,  nuts, or corn which are in these bars and not gluten.     But if I ate something that made me feel sick, I would avoid it.  
 

How long  have you been gluten free?

I agree that there might be better bar choices out there, however, the original poster was asking whether or not Atkins bars are gluten-free, which tells me that they want those bars. They are gluten-free and safe for celiacs.

Thanks - I have been Gluten Free for nearly 25 years but always trying to find the best fit for a very busy life. A breakfast meal bar helps a lot in managing my day. Thanks for your help.

I have other allergies, so finding bars is not easy for me.  They sure are convenient though.

      Gluten Ataxia and Malabsorption

      By Soleihey · Posted

      @Scott Adams Recently got blood work back and TTG antibodies went from 168.8 to 16.7 and deaminated gliadin was 22 (was not measured the first time). Is this a good start for an 11 month time frame? Just having a hard time with why my symptoms seemed to be flaring up again when my blood work has improved.

      Eczema or dermatitis herpetiformis

      By dublin555 · Posted

      I’ve been through something similar recently, and I know how frustrating it can be when nothing seems to work. Based on what you’ve described, it might be worth considering dermatitis herpetiformis, especially with the family history of celiac disease. Testing could give you some answers, and while online kits aren’t as reliable as a GP, they’re a good start if appointments are hard to get. I also found relief through medical cannabis for my eczema, at Releaf, a clinic in the UK that offers eczema medical cannabis treatment. They start with a low dose, adjust weekly, and track progress through online consultations.

      Symptoms & waiting on blood test results

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Jaylan! Almost all of the symptoms and medical conditions you describe have been found to be associated with celiac disease. But they can also be caused by other things as well. There certainly is enough circumstantial evidence in your list of medical problems to warrant being tested for celiac disease. Ask your physician to order a celiac panel consisting of, at the very minimum, these two blood antibody tests: total IGA and tTG-IGA. Please do not attempt to limit your gluten intake before the blood draw is taken or you will invalidate the testing. Incidentally, celiac disease is often misdiagnosed as IBS.

      Symptoms & waiting on blood test results

      By Jaylan · Posted

      Hi there!  I’ve recently been tested for celiac disease, along with other autoimmune diseases. My symptoms started back in 2018 with joint pain in my knees. Since then, it has progressively worsened. I now have joint pain in both knees, elbows, and sometimes my shoulders. The pain is almost unbearable. I feel so stiff in the mornings, and this stiffness can last the whole day. I also experience swelling and warmth around those areas.   Other symptoms include IBS (diagnosed at age 16), restless legs, chest pain, tiredness, miscarriages, bloating, and sharp pain on the right side of my stomach. In the past, I’ve also had problems with a vitamin D deficiency, and my serum folate levels recently came back very low.   My question is: How likely is it that I have celiac disease?
