Those sound VERY good. I miss having granola bars. Thanks for the tip! Do you think they are sold in regular stores (I am not a sam club member)?

I used to eat Nature Valley Granola Bars from B.J.'s Club all the time. I wonder if they carry them?

The price is nice, too! Thanks for posting.

Is there a Sam's Club near you?

I find that their prices are SO much better than our local grocery store, I save ton of $ just buying fish, chicken, ground turkey, produce, canned salmon, even kitty litter at Sam's Club rather than the grocery store.

I added it up when I first joined: I saved the price of membership (I think it's $45 for the year?) by the second time I shopped there. It's also a good place to buy electronics and kitchen stuff (frying pans, restaurant-style plastic glassware, etc). And gas is always 2-3 cents/gallon cheaper there, too.

I actually prefer Costco, but unfortunately, they are 10 miles further away.

NOw, if we could just get them to start carrying Kinnikinnick products....

We have a Sam's very close (and a Costco, too). We tried the membership thing once and we never could leave there without spending $500 :blink::blink:

I'd love to be able to buy a whole bunch of meat and freeze and not have to buy so much each week at the store.

I'm just curious - I went out to the Nature Valley website and could not find these granola bars? The only nut granola bars that they have contain oats and none have such a simplified ingredient list. Are they specially made for Sam's Club?

Follow-up -- I found them elsewhere and they seem to be just nuts held together by a sugary syrup. They should be tasty - I've tried gluten-free variations like this from other manufacturers. I'm not sure why Nature Valley doesn't have them on their website. Hmmmm....

I have noticed, especially with General Mills products (of which Nature Valley is one) if it is a newer product or not available everywhere, it isn't always on the Web site. I ran into the same thing with the Dora the Explorer Cinnamon Stars cereal. It isn't on the Web site. I checked the Nature Valley site yesterday and didn't find it either. But, if you Google "Nature Valley Roasted Nut Crunch" you'll get some consumer product reviews.

I found these at wal-mart last night. They are sold in smaller boxes there (which is good because you can try them without a huge box to eat if you do NOT like them ha). They are not bad. I wish they were a little less hard (the syrup they used to hold the nuts together turns into a hard hard glue)ha A good snack to keep in your purse for times when you are starving and food is nowhere in sight.

Just a warning....they have two bars with just nuts (both appear to be gluten-free) and 2 bars with fruit and other things in them as well as the nuts.....the other two are NOT gluten-free. They have crispy rice which has barley malt. Just a heads up incase you just read the allergy warning because the barley is not listed in the allergy warning. :)

I picked some up a few weeks ago and these are YUMMMY!!!

I like the almond one best as does my daughter, but hubby likes the peanut kind. I really like this as an alternative to the Environkidz bars. There's only a few ingredients...only the nuts, sunflower seeds, salt, corn syrup, and sugar.

Not overly healthy, but a lot better than some of the alternatives.

The trick with this snack is making sure you get the NUT CRUNCH which has no gluten ingredients and not mistaking it for the "Sweet and Salty" which does contain gluten.

This is a great addition to the gluten-free diet for those who can tolerate nuts and corn syrup!

      Guidance on next steps after the lab tests

      By ABP2025 · Posted

      Got it. Thanks Scott. I'll set up an appointment with a GI after the holidays and get all the celiac disease screening done. Thanks to this amazing forum and to all who have answered my question, I now know what my next steps are.

      Guidance on next steps after the lab tests

      By ABP2025 · Posted

      Aah it sucks that there's no definitive way to confirm NCGS or celiac. I've found a GI clinic that is covered by my insurance and I'll contact them after the holidays to setup an appointment. I hope to get some sort of clarity with further tests.

      Guidance on next steps after the lab tests

      Thanks @knitty kitty. I didn't know about thiamine deficiency before you had mentioned it. I'm doing more research into what it is and how I can test for that deficiency. Is Vitamin B1 test the best way to find it? I saw that there is another test: Erythrocyte transketolase activity coefficient (ETKAC) assay to test for thiamine deficiency but I'm not sure how that test is done. Is that something I can take on my own or do I need GI referral. If it does turn out that I'm thiamine deficient, does that confirm that I have celiac disease or could it just mean that I have not been consuming Vitamin B1 rich food and once I address that with a supplement or food, I would no longer be thiamine deficient? Also full disclosure, I'm a vegetarian and only last year I found out that my Vitamin D level was very low. It was 3.7 ng/ml and the ideal range is >29.9 ng/ml. After a year of taking multivitamin supplement, my Vitamin D level has gone up to 27 ng/ml. Though it's better than 3.7 ng/ml, it's still below the range. I'm not sure for how long my Vitamin D level was around 3.7 ng/ml before 2023 as I didn't have my Vitamin D test taken prior to that. My doctor also wanted to check my Vitamin B12 level as I might not be getting enough of it from vegetarian sources. When I took that test last year, Vitamin B12 was 247 pg/ml and ideal range is 200-1100 pg/ml. So it's still within the range though it's on the lower end of the ideal range. I also have recently started taking vitamin b-complex tablets daily. I've never checked other Vitamin B levels including Vitamin B1. Do you know if such a very low level of Vitamin D and moderately lower level of Vitamin B12 would cause celiac disease or may contribute to some of the symptoms I've been experiencing? Regarding the DNA test to test celiac genes, are you referring to HLA DQ2 and HLA DQ8 tests? As soon as I got the result where my IgG was above range, I had ordered the "HLA Typing for Celiac Disease" test in Quest Diagnostics which measures HLA DQ2 and HLA DQ8. The test is 2 weeks from now and I'll post my results here once I receive them.

      Small amounts of gliadin are detectable in some samples of human breast milk but these are at too low a level to cause symptoms. No gliadin has been detected in the beef of grain-fed cattle.   https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC5622696/

      Years of testing - no real answers

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Kiwifruit, I agree further testing is needed.  Disaccharidase deficiency is a symptom of Celiac disease.   On your test results, this line  "IgA: 0.9 g/l (norm 0.8 - 4.0)" is referring to Total IgA and it's very low.  People with low or deficient Total IgA should also have DGP IgG test done.  Low Total IgA means you are making low levels of tTg  IgA as well, leading to false negatives or "weak positives".  Maybe a DNA test for known Celiac genes.   Anemia, diabetes, and thiamine deficiency can cause test results like these.  Get checked for B12 deficiency anemia and have your iron (ferritin) checked.  Vitamin D deficiency is common, too.   Might be time to find a gastrointestinal doctor who is more familiar with diagnosing Celiac Disease.   Best wishes on your journey!  Please keep us posted on your progress.
