Hi ladies
I have ds on a gluten-free diet and just ordered Enjoy life cereal bars and cookies
My ds had 1 bar and 1 cookie for the past 2 days
Today he is a mess....he had about 7 b/m and is very gassy
Is this just coincidence?
Did anyone else have this reaction....
Confused, Kim

Never had the cookies, the kids have eaten the cereal bars with no issues.

My son has never reacted to any Enjoy life product, but we have only had htem a couple times since no one local carries them (Have to hike out to Wild Oats to get them).
Anything else dif in his diet? Maybe he is sick? Is gluten his only issue?

I dont think I've ever seen a post where someone has reacted to an Enjoy Life product from a gluten stand point. I trust their products as far as that goes. Is it possible he got sick from something else? Maybe he is sensitive to something else in the bars and cookies?

Thanks everyone
I was pretty surprised by his reaction
the only thing I can think of is the cookies/bars have fiber....he seems to have a very sensitive tummy and the extra fiber could be causing gas and b/m issues?
I don't know...I'm going to keep up his diet as his with the enjoy life foods and see how thing go in a few days
thanks, kim

my daughter and I eat the Enjoy Life cereal bars all the time, and occassionally the cookies. Never had a problem with them. They are made in a dedicated gluten-free facility so I trust them to not have any gluten. I would suspect that it's the fiber because Enjoy Life foods are free of most of the common allergens... I had a simple salad last night that I made at home and my tummy is tore up today, so I think it's the fiber and roughage cleaning me out! Probably what's happening with him.

you may need to take it easy on the fiber initially and try it in smaller doses with him until is system is stronger. Keep in mind his poor intestines are already damaged, Fiber can be harsh on damaged intestines, so give his body time to heal before pushing the fiber... Now if he gets really constipated you may need to rethink that approach, but as with everything, moderation is the key. I would suggest keeping his diet very simple for now. Mostly foods that are naturally gluten free, and prepared from scratch so that you know exactly what's in them. Like baked meats, rice, potatoes, peas, green beans, bananas, applesauce, cooked carrots, sweet potatoes... after he's been on this very simple diet for a while and seems to improve, then you can try to introduce some more complex gluten-free foods one at a time and watch for any reactions. As he heals you may notice that some things he reacts to in the beginning, he may be able to tolerate later. Like dairy. Eliminate dairy at first then after about 6 months, try reintroducing dairy and watch for any reaction.
Good luck

I love Enjoy Life but had to give up their stuff with vanilla - best I can guess, it is derived from corn which is a problem for me, but the rest is fine. However, there are just times when I cannot have too much fiber.

I recently bought some Enjoy Life Carmel Apple Snack Bars and ate one. I thought it tasted horrible and I felt like I had been glutened.
A family with Celiac disease, two brothers and two sisters.
Lyme Disease, Diagnosis October 19, 2006
May 2006 - December 2008 Gluten and Dairy Free
December 2008, while seeing improvement on the gluten free diet, I did not recover and so in December of 2008 began the SCD and now have hope for recovery.

Rinne,
I didn't do well with the carmel apple either but the other bars and cookies (except gingersnap) I've been fine with.

I absolutely love the cookies (except for the gingersnap ones...but just because I hate anything with ginger 
). I have a very sensitive stomach (intolerant of gluten, dairy, soy, and corn) and have never had a problem with any of their products...well...except when I eat six boxes of cookies in on meal

I bought some Enjoy Life cinnamon granola that was so horrible tasting I threw the box out after one spoonful, which I spit out. To me it tasted like rancid oil and brought back childhood memories of the scent of some sort of insecticide.
Looking on the label, I could see it had rosemary oil in it, which I suspect contributed to the odd flavor.
Nothing
