Are the basic Balance Bars still gluten-free? I can't find them on any of the most recent lists.
The flavors we eat most are: Chocolate, Chocolate Mint, Peanut Butter.
(We don't do, Gold or crunchy).
We always have these on hand, my son eats approx 1/day, I've been noticing some gluten accident symptoms in the kids and can't figure it out ... could this be it?
Thanks.

I don't know...I think that with Balance you're supposed to find gluten on the label, so I was going to suggest you just read.......but that labelling bill has a few more years and even so, it won't force companies to list all gluten (will require wheat, etc., but not, for example, malt). <_<

I'd call the company or just avoid them for a little while. Anything else new in the diet that could've caused it?

I use to eat the Balance bars... loved them! ... but if I remember right, I stopped eating them after getting slight reactions. I believe, if you read closely, the label says that they are manuf. on the same lines as food with wheat, and therefore can not be considered wheat free/gluten-free. Let me know if this is the same information you find out!
