Protien Bars

Has anyone found a gluten-free protien bar? I am finding it hard to add protien to my diet while I am on the road and in between workouts.

There are some Balance bars that are gluten free. Just check the label because they will not hide anything :D They will list wheat,rye,barley,oats if it contains any

We get the bars from Gluten Solutions. They are an average of 15 grams of protein a bar. We like the mint bars the best, also the Double chocolate are good. The peanut butter chocolate chip are good too. Open Original Shared Link type in the word bars in the search and a lot come up. They are almost all out of stock right now because they are so good! Also try ANDI bars, they are similar.

We use these because they are soy free and I am allergic to soy protein, which many other bars contain. The whole family can eat these.

God bless,

Mariann

Boost Nutritional Drinks have a protein based drink. I believe that all flavors are gluten-free except Chocolate Malt B) It says right on the can if it is gluten-free or not.

They all taste great, I think.

I often take:

Lara Bars

Clif Bars (the new ones that are Gluten-free Casein-free)

Organic Food Bars

with me when I'm on a trip. They are an aquired taste, and some people never like them.

Thanks :)

i think that some of the Think Thin ones are also dairy free but i am not 100% positive.

I could not find any of the gluten-free Balance Bars, is there a list anywhere?

Michelle - are you looking for one with low sugar? Organic Food Bar is really good (the one with chocolate chips) but isn't low sugar (though it isn't high like most other regular ones, either). It has agave nectar in it, and dates, but it tastes better than a Lara Bar (I know how much you love those! ;) )

PS on the Gluten Free part - they do offer some with barley grass in them (the "green" bars) and I wouldn't recommend them just in case of contamination. I wouldn't recommend any barley/wheat grass product, in fact, for that reason.

Michelle,

The bars I mentioned above (the ANDI bars and the Gluten Solutions/Aunt Candace bars found at the Gluten Solutions website) are all dairy free as well.

God bless,

I like the Genisoy bars (most aren't gluten-free, though, so you have to check). I've tried the Larabars and I don't mind them--not something I would eat constantly for the pleasure of dates and other dried fruits, but it's not terrible...and that's a pretty good review, me being a picky fourteen-year-old :P

I eat Kraft South Beach bars all the time. A good amount of protien, and calories. My boyfriend is not celiac and he loves them as well....

Where do you find the Kraft South Beach bars? I am assuming you mean the meal replacement bars and not the cereal bars, right? There was something on the ingredients in the cereal bars that made me think they weren't gluten-free (was it barley malt or oats, or both??). anyhow, I have never found the meal replacement bars...

God bless,

Sorry, I forgot to log my son out before I posted. Oh well, I'll get used to sharing the computer with him. He is really interested in communicating with other Celiacs. :D

Balance will not hide anything....just check the label for wheat, rye, barley, oats. I don't think they have a list because they have that policy.

:( I'm not having any luck here :(

The only gluten-free Clif bars that I can find (according to their website) are the "Nectar" bars - which have a measly 3 grams of protein. They might be good snack bars, but I definitely wouldn't classify them as "protein" bars.

The Think Thin bars have whey in them - which is am profoundly allergic to. It's not that I have lactose intolerance here guys! It's an allergy - not just casein or lactose that I have to avoid. I need to stay away from whey too! (Which really sucks because it's in so many things!)

The Larabars are okay - but, again - *weak* source of protein. Geez if I'm going to pay $1.49 I want more than just a few grams of protein!

Genisoy has whey :(

Balance Bars have whey :(

And the Organic Food Bars look good - but they have sesame in them - which I'm also allergic to. :(

My allergies suck! (dairy, eggs, sesame) :angry:

Any other ideas?

Please? :(

Miss Roben's has a no bake granola bar/trail mix mix. They are free of: Free of: Wheat, Gluten, Dairy, Peanuts, Tree Nuts, Egg, Soy, Corn, Potato, Yeast, Sesame according to the website.

I have made them before and they freeze really well (just wrap in saranwrap and freeze). You just have to add corn syrup and I added peanutbutter and sunflower seeds. I believe. Which would give you more protein. You might give them a try. I liked them

one more side note on those bars, when it says dairy free it means free of : Free of Dairy: Includes all casein, whey, & lactose, & derivatives.

bean, I would suggest making your own. I make some with hemp seeds, walnuts, cranberries, and lemon juice that are decent on protein (because of the seeds). I've also made some in the past with rice protein powder in them to bump that up. Taking out the dairy along with the wheat makes it tough!

I eat the Genisoy bar that is Chunky peanut butter and fudge (or something like that). It is gluten-free and mmm soo good. Plus it has 14g of soy protein/serving! I buy them by the case full.

Elev8 Me bars are excellent gluten free energy bars for those endurance athletes out there.

Also, I have found it the best to just make my own protein bars. Do a google search on homemade protein bars, and use one of their recipes, and just compromise.

You can substitute with whey protein, soy protein, or rice protein powder. I made some with puffed rice, protein powder, almond butter, etc......and they were very good. I just cut them up and packaged them for the road. That way, they don't have all that extra junk in them that protein bars do. Shorter the list of ingredients the better.

Hey Hey. Things aren't that bad. I have dairy, gluten and soy as well. Life goes on :)

I like LaraBars but I agree with you on the protein issue.

What 'bout these?

Thanks for that link! :)

I've been looking at the ANDI bars (haven't ordered them yet). Has anyone tried these? They are from the Autism Network for Dietary Intervention. Here is the site: Open Original Shared Link

They have 15 grams of protein each! And are dairy/gluten/egg/sesame free! (Well, *most* of them are egg & sesame free ;))

Please let me know if anyone has tried them :) I'm going to be ordering some soon and will report back with my findings :)

Thanks again for everyone's help :)

Sounds like there's someone else out there with the same problem I have! I was diagnosed with celiac within the past 5 years but had symptoms my whole life. I'm used to eating strictly gluten-free. But I just found out I'm also allergic to dairy, eggs, red meat, sesame, and am very suspicious of soy.

I used to eat Balance Bars-- the Almond Brownie and Mocha ones were safe. But they have whey. I'm having a terrible time trying to find a protein bar. I am hypoglycemic and must have protein on hand for a quick fix. Carrying around a hunk of meat I can just tear chunks off of is unrealistic.

If anyone with similar allergies can give me suggestions, especially re: products and COOKBOOKS, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

      I'm pretty sure that in stores, you can find plenty of gluten-free options. But they are usually a bit more expensive.

      Hello @BunnyBrown and welcome to the forum. I cannot say that I have had the procedure you describe, but recently I did have general surgery and was routinely intubated.  That pain was what troubled me most after the operation, far more than the operation site.  It took a few days to really settle down, I was quite badly bruised. It was taking so long I was a bit concerned so asked the question on another forum. A few patients came back to me and said they had suffered the same.  I imagine in my own case possibly the throat got bashed about a bit,  maybe they had difficult inserting the tube?  I've suffered with a painful throat post-endoscopy too, but never as long as the intubation pain.   I hope you will be feeling better very soon.   PS BTW - love the name!  I saw this today in an Easter display in a shop and your name reminded me of it.🙂

      This wonderful, Anne. I think you have a point about why people disappear off forums.  I found the first few years post diagnosis a real struggle and frankly wondered if I would ever feel better (not to dishearten people, but just to say it can take a while longer for some folk to heal).  However, once my antibodies were back within normal range it really has made a big difference to my health.  I've chosen to stick around because I'm a Mod, otherwise I might have been one of those that disappeared, too!
