Someone in this forum asked for this recipe, but didn't give me an address ~ so I'm posting here, hoping this won't get moved to recipes..... :)

Okay -- homemade, nutrient dense gluten-free granola bars:

4 C crushed flaked gluten-free cereal (like Amazon crunch)

1.5 C sliced almonds, crushed (put 'em in a bag and whack away)

1C dried fruit (cut it into little pieces if need be)

1C mini choc. chips (optional)

mix all those together in a big bowl. In a small saucepan combine

1C peanut butter

3/4 C light corn syrup

until they are warm and smooth

Pour the syrup over the cereal mix, blend well, wrestle into a Pam-sprayed pan (or non stick; don't grease the pan or you'll have it going everywhere) about 9X13 (I actually use a slightly smaller pan--definitely don't use bigger) and press down HARD. Put it in the refrigerator until it's hard enough to cut up into whatever size you want. (I do kudo-size rectangles). Wrap them in waxed paper and freeze for later, or refrigerate. One weekend my husband actually melted chocolate and dunked a bunch of these, to make himself candy bars.......

Those sound really good. I miss granola bars a lot. I had gotten a granola bar mix from Miss Roben's and it just didn't have much flavor. I'll have to try these, sounds good!!

Thanks for the great sounding recipe- with so many options too. Can't wait to get settled into our new house so I can try these. The candy bar idea sounds great or I might just drizzle a little over the top, to entice the little one.

Thank you so much for posting this. I was the one that emailed you for the recipe. This board is new to me, so I am still trying to figure things out. The recipe sounds really good, can't wait to try it out.

Thanks again,

I made this recipe tonight and added a couple of things. I used dried cranberries for the fruit and added crispy brown rice cereal to the corn flakes. These are really good and my celiac daughter loves them!

Thank you for the recipe.

      Draft gluten-free ciders… can they be trusted ?

      By Rogol72 · Posted

      A friend of mine is in the bar trade most of his life and has never heard of lines being mixed for different type of beers and ciders. Better to stick with cans.

      Draft gluten-free ciders… can they be trusted ?

      By Rejoicephd · Posted

      Thanks very much for confirming my suspicion @Scott Adams! That helps a lot because I'm really trying to track down and get rid of these sources of cross-contact and so I'm going to just rule out the draft ciders and hope that helps. Also @Rogol72 its nice to hear you haven't had a problem on that side of the pond - draft cider lines being used for cider only certainly sounds like the right way to do it, but I think that must not always be practiced over here!

      Gluten challenge and Hashimoto's Thyroiditis

      By Zuma888 · Posted

      I didn't ask a doctor about this actually. I did ask several doctors a long time ago and they told me gluten has nothing to do with hashimoto's. One of them told me to do a gluten challenge to test for celiac, but at the time I was in graduate school so couldn't afford to be even more ill than I was. If you have the symptoms, I really don't advise you to do a gluten challenge. It messed me up mentally and physically for months. At the same time, I benefitted from doing the challenge in the sense that it convinced me that all my symptoms were truly from gluten - even stuff like insomnia! So now I am terrified to eat gluten, whereas before I would have a little once in a while and not notice anything dramatic.

      I am in a similar situation where I can't feasibly do a gluten challenge but have all the symptoms and I have 2 celiac genes. I'm curious if your doctor advised you to eat as if you had a diagnosis or if they were more dismissive about it.

      Negative, although I had most of the symptoms of celiac disease. I now eat as if I had a diagnosis.
