Per Open Original Shared Link they have gluten. But, I don't see oats in your description so perhaps there is gluten hiding in the natural flavors or something. It would be worth emailing and asking for clarification.

I think Jane has a good point - going with the information from Luna's own website. They may not be gluten-free but, an email never hurts!

Just looking at that list of ingredients would make me leery anyway....too many ingredients, too many artificial ones on top of that. I suggest you check out Larabars - they're gluten-free and they all seem to have less than 10 ingredients. Moreover, all of the ingredients are things you actually know.

The chocolate cherry (which may be similar to your Luna bar) contains:

Organic Dates, Organic Almonds, Organic Walnuts, Unsweetened Cherries, Organic Cocoa Powder, Organic Cocoa Mass

They taste great! I always have a Larabar or two on me, just in case :D You can find them several places including Trader Joe's, REI, and many places online.

I might be wrong on this, but I think they might not be gluten-free because of the brown rice syrup? Some brown rice syrup is made with barley.

      Safe and Forbidden lists

      By Julie Max · Posted

      As far as I know, miso paste is gluten-free and should be added to the Safe List.  And, shouldn't soy sauce be on the Forbidden list?

      Test says no, but body says Yes?

      @PlanetJanet, Sorry to hear about your back pain.  I have three crushed vertebrae myself.  I found that a combination of Thiamine, Cobalamin and Pyridoxine (all water soluble B vitamins) work effectively for my back pain.  This combination really works without the side effects of prescription and over-the-counter pain meds.  I hope you will give them a try. Here are articles on these vitamins and pain relief...

      Canned tomato sauce, ricotta?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Here is the info from their website. If you don't trust them, you may find products that are labelled "gluten-free," but I don't see any reason to believe there is any gluten in them.

      Hi, trents, Thanks for responding! One book I read is called, Doing Harm, by Maya Dusenbery.  She has wonderful perspective and insight, and it's all research-based.  It's about how women can't get treated.  Everyone should read this!  I wouldn't mind reading it again, even.  She believes that women are so busy taking care of families, working, etc., that we are more likely to ignore our pain and symptoms for longer.  Men have women bugging them to go to the doctor.  Women don't have anyone telling us that.  We don't have time to go.  Providers think we are over-emotional, histrionic, depressed, have low tolerance to pain...Men get prescribed opioids for the same symptoms women are prescribed anti-depressants.  My car crash in January 2020 made going to the doctor a full-time job.  I grew up with 2 rough and tumble brothers, played outside, climbed trees.  I was tough and strong, pain didn't bother me, I knew it would heal.  But do you think I could get treated for back pain--as a woman?  I am so familiar now with the brush-offs, the blank looks, the, "Take your Ibuprofen," the insinuation that I am just over-reacting, trying to get attention, or even, "Drug Seeking."  Took almost 2 years, but what was happening was Degenerative Sacroiliitis.  I couldn't walk right, my gait was off, effected my entire spine because gait was off.  I had braced myself with my legs in a front-impact, slightly head-on crash with someone who made a left turn in front of me from the opposite direction.  I finally had SI Joint Fusion surgery, both sides.  It's not a cure. I have given up on trying to get properly treated.  There is so much pain with these spine issues caused by bad gait:  scoliosis, lithesis, arthropathy, bulged disc, Tarlov cysts.  And I can't take anything because of my bad tummy. Not that I would ever hurt anyone, but I can relate to Luis Mangione who couldn't get treated for his back injury. I feel so alone.
