I absolutely LOVE Enjoy Life! The Carmel Apple is so yummy. You can find them here: Open Original Shared Link

I also love their granola cereals. I am nut free as well, so that makes them even better for me.

:P

My kids and I really like the Envirokids crispy bars. They don't fall under the category of granola, but they are yummy bars that kids love.

These are not Granola Bars per se, but I buy Zone Perfect bars.

They have several kinds that are gluten-free, including Fudge Graham (despite the name - they are gluten-free). When I called their phone number (1-800-666-6830) the person who answered was very knowledgeable and was able to tell me which flavors were and were not gluten-free. I like this brand because they have a lot of protein, not just a lot of carbs. You can find them at WalMart and other places.

Only my son (age 14) has Celiac in our family. He likes these, and I have found them to be excellent for when we are on the road, such as when he is playing basketball or baseball and needs something to eat before or in-between games, but not a full meal.

My daughter (age 11) likes both Zone bars and regular granola bars.

I keep some at my desk at work when I don't have time for a regular lunch.

I don't know how old your daughter is, but they have regular size bars and also a smaller snack size.

Which ZonePerfect bars are gluten-free? I used to love them before i went gluten-free, but I assumed they all had gluten in them.

Just another option, I posted a recipe here on this forum for cereal bars - very flexible recipe. I make different ones for me and for my son - mine has millet cereal and raisins and sunflowers - his has corn cereal and peanuts and peanut butter and coconut and marshmallows!

A brand called Oskri makes granola bars that say gluten-free, lactose-free on the package. I haven't ever seen them in the US but they're made in Wisconsin, so they must be available somewhere (maybe online?) They don't contain sugar and are not very sweet though (if that's what your daughter is looking for :))

I really like Enjoy Life bars as well, and, come to think of it, Alpsnack bars are my favorite (similar to a granola bar - and the chocolate flavor is awesome).

Since I have not checked in awhile, I thought I would revisit this issue, so I called them today.

The customer service rep told me that the bars are made on shared equipment and some bars have gluten ingredients. When I asked further if she had information on how they change from one product to another, she found information stating that all the equipment is thoroughly cleaned and sanitized between products, and that they were highly aware of the need to do this with respect to allergens. Again, very helpful and knowledgable on the phone. You will need to make your own decision with respect to this, but I had good confidence in what I was hearing. The rep had all of this information at her fingertips.

My son eats Zone bars fairly often (about 1 per week). He doesn't have GI symptoms anyway, but recently had bloodwork confirmed negative (TTg), and has been negative for the past 4 tests over the past two years.

Now with all these disclaimers out of the way, here is the list of ZonePerfect Bars that contain no Gluten Ingredients:

Chocolate Almond Raisin

Chocolate Caramel Crunch (also snack size)

Chocolate Coconut Crunch

Chocolate Peanut Butter (also snack size)

Chocolate Raspberry

Fudge Graham (also snack size)

Peanut Toffee

Double Dark Chocolate

Banana Nut

Blueberry

Orange Cranberry

My grandma gave me this one. You can change it up with whatever you like.....change the fruits, chocolates, or nuts. The whole family loves these bars. My grandma who is diabetic uses splenda for both sugars.

I get Zone Bars at WalMart. You can get them individually or in a box of 5, for about $1 each.

At WalMart, they are usually in the Pharmacy area near the vitamins and diet stuff.

Just a note, not all celiacs can handle oats, and most supermarket oats are cross contaminated. Be cautious!

Found this on their website:

CONTAINS SOY, PEANUTS AND MILK INGREDIENTS; MANUFACTURED IN A FACILITY THAT PROCESSES EGGS, PEANUTS AND TREE NUTS AND WHEAT.

I was getting happy when I heard they are gluten free.. :(

      Contradicting length of time for gluten challenge - please help to ensure not getting false negative. Thank you!

      By trents · Posted

      Okay, it does make sense to continue the gluten challenge as long as you are already in the middle of it. But what will change if you rule it out? I mean, you have concluded that whatever label you want to give the condition, many of your symptoms improved when you went gluten free. Am I correct in that? According to how I understand your posting, the only symptom that hasn't responded to gluten free eating is the bone demineralization. Did I misunderstand? And if you do test positive, what will you do different than you are doing now? You have already been doing for years the main thing you should be doing and that is eating gluten free. Concerning how long you should stay on the gluten challenge, how many weeks are you into it already?

      I mean that I will be re-taking the celiac blood test again while I am currently on the gluten challenge right now, but not sure how many weeks more to keep going, to ensure a false negative does not happen. Thank you.

      Thank you for your help, I am currently in the middle of the gluten challenge. A bit over 6 weeks in. At 4 weeks I got the celiac blood tests and that is when they were negative. So to rule out the false negative, since I’m in the middle of the gluten challenge right now and will never do this again, I wanted to continue consuming gluten to the point to make sure the blood tests are not a false negative - which I did not receive a firm answer for how many weeks total.    My issue is, with these blood tests the doctors say “you are not celiac” and rule it out completely as a potential cause of my issues, when the symptoms scream of it. I want to rule out this 30 year mystery for my own health since I’m in the middle of it right now. Thank you!

      I am a male and had developed osteopenia by age 50 which is when I finally got dx with celiac disease. I am sure I had it for at least 13 years before that because it was then I developed idiopathic elevated liver enzymes. I now have a little scoliosis and pronounced kyphosis (upper spine curvature).  All of your symptoms scream of celiac disease, even if the testing you have had done does not. You may be an atypical celiac, meaning the disease is not manifesting itself in your gut but is attacking other body systems. There is such a thing as sero negative celiac disease. But you still have not given me a satisfactory answer to my question of why do you need a differential dx between celiac disease and NCGS when either one would call for complete abstinence from gluten, which you have already been practicing except for short periods when you were undergoing a gluten challenge. Why do you want to put a toxic substance into your body for weeks when, even if it did produce a positive test result for celiac disease, neither you or your doctors would do anything different? Regardless of what doctors are recommending to you, it is your body it is affecting not theirs and they don't seem to have given you any good justification for starting another gluten challenge. Where you live, are doctors kings or something?

      Sorry to put it clearly, at 15, infertility started (tried to word it nicely) meaning menstruation stopped. Which is in correlation to celiac I mean. Thank you.
