Several months ago I came upon a website that had gluten free bars. The name was alpensnack or something like that. The bars were made with nuts and dried fruit and were quite tasty. Now that I want to get some more, I cannot come up with the website. Is there anyone out there who know what I am referring to? HELP. Please e-mail me if you know anything about this product. anne@clay-play.com

Hi Anne,

I think you are talking about Alpsnacks. They are great. I buy them by the dozen at Gluten Solutions. I haven't found them anywhere else, but I'm sure other places sell them. You can find them at the following link:

What an awesome site Mariann. Thanks, I have put it in my favorites. Have you tried any of their mixes?

I've tried some of their mixes. This is where I get the Really Great Foods Chocolate Cake mix that I've raved about before. It is awesome! I also get their Gluten Solutions label Chocolate Mint Protein bars. They are great and we always take some of these with us when we leave the house, so we have something easy to eat if we can't find something safe right away. My kids love em.

God bless,

Mariann

Wonderful to know. Except the mint that is (hate mintlOL). After I get over being sick (what a morning I won't bore anyone) I will think about placing an order. I need to figure out what other foods I'm having problems with. How long does it take for an order to get to you? I did order a paper catalog. We are going to Oregon in a week to visit relatives. I've been trying to figure out what to do for food for me since I will probably be fending for myself. I doubt I could get an order from them that fast. Thanks much.

Carol,

They try to ship the same day, the next day if you place the order at night, but it still takes about a week to get your order. I placed my order on the 1st and it is expected to get to me on the 9th. So you probably don't have time to get the shipment sent to your home, but you could have it sent to the address in Oregon where you will be visiting and then you would have food there to eat.

God bless,

Mariann

Thanks much. We will be in several different places so I think I'll skip. Won't have much money till payday anyways which is the Friday comming before we leave. Just for information, I have been really researching this SCD diet the last couple of days. I'm really seriously considering trying it after the book gets here and I read on it. Now that I know for sure that food has been making me sick I have more will power to do what it takes to get well.

      Delayed reaction

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @RDB7918393! For some folks, gluten reactions are delayed but I would not think symptoms delayed  of a week or more out would be due to a gluten reaction. Twenty four hours or so but not 7-14 days. I would suspect something else is going on. Eating out is well-known to be the number one sabotaging activity of the gluten-free life style.

      Delayed reaction

      By RDB7918393 · Posted

      I was diagnosed with Celiac about 10 months ago after having on and off morning stomach cramping and loose stool that only occurred like once a month. So I don’t get immediate reactions…more if build up reactions. I do my best to be gluten free but hard when on vacation and going to restaurants to fully trust cross contamination problems. I find that if I’m cross contaminated, I don’t get a reaction til about a week or two after. The reaction is stomach cramping morning only with flaky stool. Does anyone else have such a delayed reaction like a week or two after being glutened? Or should I go for more testing to see what’s going on.

      Rice, corn, and other gluten-free grains.

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Your approach is spot-on—trusting reliable sources like Mayo Clinic and sticking to a gluten-free diet that works for you is the best way to navigate all the noise out there. The claim that rice and corn contain forms of gluten harmful to celiacs is indeed a misconception. While these grains do contain proteins that may technically be referred to as "glutens" in a broader scientific sense, they are structurally and functionally different from the gliadin found in wheat, which is the specific protein harmful to those with celiac disease. Scientific research overwhelmingly supports the safety of non-contaminated rice and corn for celiacs unless there’s a separate sensitivity or allergy involved. Some opinion pieces or alternative health sources may blur the lines by conflating these proteins, which can cause unnecessary worry. You're absolutely correct to focus on the distinction between scientifically validated information and anecdotal claims. It's also important to note that some people with celiac disease may develop sensitivities to other grains over time, but this is individual and not a universal rule. If you’re asymptomatic and thriving on a diet that includes certified gluten-free products with rice and corn, there’s no reason to change what’s clearly working for you. The internet is a breeding ground for well-meaning but misguided advice, and it’s easy to feel overwhelmed. Your instinct to validate claims through reliable research is exactly the right way to go. Keep enjoying your gluten-free meals, stick with trusted certifications, and don’t feel pressured to adopt restrictive diets that aren’t backed by science or tailored to your specific needs. Happy New Year to you too!
