Hi!

I have posted before about how I can't stay full for very long and am constantly snacking (real hunger, not just appetite). Well, I went to D'Lites Emporium last week (which I've also posted about, appears to be only in Florida) and found several gluten-free products I'd never heard of. One of them was ExtendBar, and the company also makes ExtendCrisps. They claimed to be gluten-free on the package although there was a "made in a facility which processes wheat" warning. I thought if it really worked to keep your blood sugar stabilized and keep you feeling full, then it'd be worth a shot, so I got the apple cinnamon bar and the white cheddar crisps. Both of them worked! My husband suggested trying to find them online cheaper because they were each $2, and I found the company website. They actually test these products for gluten. Here is the link to the nutrition info:

I found a special offer online and wanted to share it in case anyone's interested. It's not cheaper to order them from ExtendBar than to buy them singly at D'Lites, but it is a little cheaper than Amazon. But this coupon's the best of all! $15.99 for 15 bars and free shipping. There are other flavors, and you can opt to get 2 of each.

The apple one tasted a little soy-like to me, but it wasn't bad at all, and the crisps were grrreat! They got me through my gym workout without a single growl from my stomach!

I have no interest in this company other than being thrilled to have more gluten-free options and having found a way to stop eating for a few hours. :D

Throwing in a warning for anyone who might miss the small print at the bottom of the page, the "10gram sugar" ones are not gluten-free, just the low and no-sugar ones.

Thanks, I just ordered some to try.

Ah, good point elonwy, yes, the crunch flavors are not gluten-free, but they weren't an option as far as I could tell on the special offer.

      Gluten free vitamins

      By trents · Posted

      The forms that vitamin and mineral supplements come in can be important. Bioavailability (i.e., how well they are absorbed) is often sacrificed for the sake of cost and shelf life. The vitamin or mineral you are targeting is always chemically combined with other elements to make them into a dispensable form (such as a powder, liquid or a pill) and to give them some chemical stability for shelf life.

      @llisa, back then when you tried magnesium and it upset your tummy, I'm guessing you were using the most common form of magnesium found on store shelves, namely, magnesium oxide. It has a reputation for having a laxative effect. It is not very well absorbed and so draws a lot of water into the colon, just like the laxative known as milk of magnesia. I'm guessing if you would switch to the "glycinate" form of magnesium you would not have this problem. Magnesium glycinate is absorbed much better. If you can't find magnesium glycinate at your local stores, you can order gluten free brands of it off of Amazon.

      I've tried magnesium before. Twice in 2 years. It really upset my stomach. And that was before this celiac disease diagnosis. (Finally, after 2 years of trying to find out what was wrong with me.) I have no idea how sensitive I am. When my stomach was upset, I'd go to my comfort foods: cream of wheat, cheese and crackers, scrambled eggs and toast...so, making myself worse by trying to feel better.  Just got results of biopsy yesterday, so today is first day of trying no gluten and reading that it can be hiding in vitamins and meds. So, I welcome ALL advice and personal experiences. No advice is too basic. I know nothing. Thank you!

      Have you considered also supplementing with magnesium and zinc? We usually recommend these two as well. D3, Calcium and Magnesium all important for bone and nerve health.
