I want to order some gluten-free bars and I'm not sure which ones are gross!!

I thought I remembered reading a post on snack bars but I can't find it now.

Thanks :)

Can anyone help me? I can't get gluten-free bars locally so I have to order them. Larabars, Think Organic, Cliff/Nectar....has anyone tried these or others are there other kinds you like? I'm interested in both snack bars and nutritional bars. :)

Hi Kasey's Mom :)

I personally really like the Open Original Shared Link.

I really like the Lara bars but some people don't like them. My fave flavors are Banana Cookie, Apple Pie, and Cherry Pie

I love the Lara Bars! I have only found them at Whole Foods so I can only buy them when I'm at my Mom's house. There is no Whole Foods where I live. :(

I cant eat all of them because I'm sensitive to cinnamon. My favorite is Cherry Pie. I bought Apple Pie (not realizing it had cinnamon) and was planning on exchanging them. I left them at my Mom's and she ate them all in one day! Now she buys that flavor for herself (she is not gluten sensitive).

Thanks everyone!! :) I think I'll try the Lara Bars. I found them on sale through my co-op this month. I think they're around $1.17 per bar. The organic food bars look yummy as well. Do you usually order these online?

Sometimes I need a pick me up and don't feel like cooking... :D

I keep several Lara bars in my purse for when I get hungry and am not somewhere where I can easily get a gluten-free meal... but I also keep them around the house for breakfast on the run or a snack when I am hungry but nothing else sounds good.

oh, but I cannot stand the chocolate one or the ginger spice one... yuck

I tried Think Organic's coconut/chocolate flavor and it tasted OK but it had a funnky smell when I opened it. I was so hungery.....after I finished the bar I thought to myself, "that wasn't too bad." :lol:

I agree-I just found the Larabars and was pleasantly surprised! Even my husband (non-Celiac) liked them.

For a quick snack I really like the Glutino Bars in apple and blueberry. I have never tried the chocolate. They remind me of a nutrigrain bar and a newton cookie combined into one.

I ordered a bar off of the internet called bumble bar. They also sell this at whole foods.

They are very good but they look like bird seed. :) I like them though.

I think the chocolate enjoy life bars taste the best. Also AlpSnack, doesn't taste very good (chocolate/espresso is ok) but I feel really good after I eat it. I think its a good balance of sugars and protein.

Also, thank you from another post regarding Barbara's cereals. I have been feeling sick lately, like I've been glutened, but couldn't figure out what it was. I get fatigue and brain fog as first symptoms, so I was starting to think either it was in my head (maybe i actually am a hypochondriac) or maybe that something else was actually wrong with me. I have been eating a lot of barbara's cereals labeled "gluten free" and was starting th suspect them when I found that her cookies had wheat in them and wondered if they were manufactured in the same facility, but second guessed myself because they say that they are "gluten free" THANKS! I am gonna stop eating Barbara's and let you know how I feel!

      Unexpected gluten exposure risk from cultivated mushrooms

      Welcome to the celiac.com communiuty, @Matthias!

      Unexpected gluten exposure risk from cultivated mushrooms

      The one kind of food I had been buying and eating without any worry for hidden gluten were unprocessed veggies. Well, yesterday I discovered yet another pitfall: cultivated mushrooms. I tried some new ones, Shimeji to be precise (used in many asian soup and rice dishes). Later, at home, I was taking a closer look at the product: the mushrooms were growing...

      how much gluten do I need to eat before blood tests?

      I might suggest you consider buckwheat groats. https://www.amazon.com/Anthonys-Organic-Hulled-Buckwheat-Groats/dp/B0D15QDVW7/ref=sr_1_4_pp?crid=GOFG11A8ZUMU&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.bk-hCrXgLpHqKS8QJnfKJLKbKzm2BS9tIFv3P9HjJ5swL1-02C3V819UZ845_kAwnxTUM8Qa69hKl0DfHAucO827k_rh7ZclIOPtAA9KjvEEYtaeUV06FJQyCoi5dwcfXRt8dx3cJ6ctEn2VIPaaFd0nOye2TkASgSRtdtKgvXEEXknFVYURBjXen...

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D. The dramatic, rapid normalization of stool frequency and form after removing wheat, along with improved tolerance of legumes and plant foods, is a classic pattern seen in gluten-driven disease rather than functional IBS. IBS usually worsens with fiber and beans, not improves. The fact that y...

Yes, we have been aware that this can be an issue with mushrooms but as long as they are rinsed thoroughly it should not be a problem since the mushrooms don't actually incorporate the gluten into their cellular structure. For the same reason, one needs to be careful when buying aged cheeses and products containing yeast because of the fact that they are sometimes cultured on gluten-containing substrate.

      The one kind of food I had been buying and eating without any worry for hidden gluten were unprocessed veggies. Well, yesterday I discovered yet another pitfall: cultivated mushrooms. I tried some new ones, Shimeji to be precise (used in many asian soup and rice dishes). Later, at home, I was taking a closer look at the product: the mushrooms were growing from a visible layer of shredded cereals that had not been removed. After a quick web research I learned that these mushrooms are commonly cultivated on a cereal-based medium like wheat bran. I hope that info his helpful to someone.

Incidentally, I don't like quinoa either. Reminds me and smells to me like wet grass seed. When its not washed before cooking it makes me ill because of saponins in the seed coat. Yes, it can be difficult to get much dietary calcium without dairy. But in many cases, it's not the amount of calcium in the diet that is the problem but the poor uptake of it. And too much calcium supplementation can interfere with the absorption of vitamins and minerals in general because it raises gut pH.

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D. The dramatic, rapid normalization of stool frequency and form after removing wheat, along with improved tolerance of legumes and plant foods, is a classic pattern seen in gluten-driven disease rather than functional IBS. IBS usually worsens with fiber and beans, not improves. The fact that you carry HLA-DQ2.2 means celiac disease is absolutely possible, even if it’s less common than DQ2.5, and many people with DQ2.2 present later and are under-diagnosed. Your hesitation to reintroduce gluten is completely understandable — quality of life matters — and many people in your position choose to remain strictly gluten-free and treat it as medically necessary even without formal biopsy confirmation. If and when you’re ready, a physician can help you weigh options like limited gluten challenge, serology history, or documentation as “probable celiac.” What’s clear is that this wasn’t just random IBS — you identified the trigger, and your body has been very consistent in its response.
