Atkins Advantage Bars

Hi everyone,

I'm just wondering if any of you have ever had, or have them regularly (Atkins Advantage Bars).

On the delphi list, they say they are gluten free, but there is no phone number, and there is also number on their website.

So, anything you know about these would be helpful because I would like to add them to my diet.

I looked at the ingredients, and it seems okay (except the maltodextrin) and on the warning label, it doesn't say anything about wheat products (or gluten).

Thanks!

I don't mean to be a brat, :P but has no one had these? I'm craving chocolate and I'm scared to just go by a gluten free list because I did that a few days ago and got glutened.

I don't mean to be pushy....... :rolleyes: but just a yes or no?

:D Well, I HAVE had them, but it was over a year ago and I wasn't gluten-free then so can't tell you about any reaction.

Well I hate to be a brat,:) :) :) but I tried them years before going gluten-free and realy did not like them , at all, so never checked if they were gluten-free. You'll probably have to contat them andask.

I looked up the ingredients b/c I was curious...and I know everyone's different - but for me, soy protein isolate, whey protein isolate (dairy), artificial flavors and Splenda are all things that make me feel sick, regardless of whether or not gluten is involved. (Sorry I can't help more). Have you tried Clif Nectar Bars? They satisfy the chocolate craving (the dark chocolate flavor is really good), they're all natural/organic and they even state on the package that they are manufactured in a gluten free environment!

I'm with Meredith on this one...first of all, Atkins chocolate could never satisfy my chocolate cravings, as i think they taste like fake chocolate... but i have not eaten them since gluten-free so i cant help you. I have, however, had clif nectar bars and they are very good, though i prefer to just pack trail mix. And for my chocolate cravings, i have a little bit of real chocolate, it satisfies me better anyway :) The stuff in protein bars tends to make me feel a little off no matter whether gluten is in them or not. (and i dont think its b/c of cross-contamination, i think its b/c low-carb products are packed w/ lots of crap that is hard for me to digest, like sugar free products are)

      Finding out I’m coeliac whilst pregnant

      By RMJ · Posted

      It is concerning.  Unfortunately a lot of doctors don’t know a lot about celiac disease, even some gastroenterologists.  Here is an article for you: Celiac disease and miscarriage I hope you have a successful pregnancy and a healthy baby!

      Undiagnosed (and thus untreated) celiac disease is associated with a higher chance of miscarriage. The downside of continuing to eat gluten now is increased chance of miscarriage. The downside of stopping gluten now and having to restart later to get a clear, official diagnosis is that you might have worse symptoms eating gluten after being gluten free, but it wouldn’t affect your baby. I know which one I would choose!

      1540 TTG Results... Help!

      @Blanco - you are most welcome, and I am glad to hear you have made your glutinous bucket list!  Just before my biopsy, after the shed loads of Weetabix and Penguins I had eaten, I had a terrible tight headache across my forehead, something I'd suffered from a child and had just thought was a headache at the time. Maybe my body was trying to tell me something, even back then?  But I know what you mean about black forest gateaux - I've never really liked McDonalds, Burger King or KFC but now wish I could eat all that stuff when my family are tucking into theirs!   On the plus side, you may have seen, in the big supermarkets, particularly Tesco's, the gluten free aisle is ever expanding.  In one of our local branches now it pretty much occupies a whole aisle.   You might have to shop around, but it is amazing what you can find.  Ginster's make their own gluten-free pasties now, for example.  I just need a senior executive from McVities to read this thread because once Penguins are gluten-free, I shall be happy! As for prescriptions, this link should help you find out what you are entitled to - yes, NHS lottery is absolutely how it is! I have personally never bothered with prescriptions, but some do.  I think perhaps what you could do is buy gluten-free for a month, cost it, then see if it's worth your while compared with what the NHS can offer.  With some bread loaves costing £3.50 a shot, it might be worth it? By the way - do keep us posted if you can, we'd love to know if your gastroenterologist insists upon an endoscopy.

      Hi everyone!  I’m beginning to get a bit worried. I have had the first lot of tests done and my bloods are showing as a very strong positive for coeliac. I am also currently pregnant. I have been told to continue to eat gluten until more testing is done (biopsies). If I continue to eat gluten when the chances are very high that I am coeliac, will this harm or affect baby? I feel like I don’t know where to get answers from as I haven’t seen the specialist yet
