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!

      Low iron and vitamin d

      By lizzie42 · Posted

      Hi, I posted before about my son's legs shaking after gluten. I did end up starting him on vit b and happily he actually started sleeping better and longer.  Back to my 4 year old. She had gone back to meltdowns, early wakes, and exhaustion. We tested everything again and her ferritin was lowish again (16) and vit d was low. After a couple weeks on supplements she is cheerful, sleeping better and looks better. The red rimmed eyes and dark circles are much better.   AND her Ttg was a 3!!!!!! So, we are crushing the gluten-free diet which is great. But WHY are her iron and vit d low if she's not getting any gluten????  She's on 30mg of iron per day and also a multivitamin and vit d supplement (per her dr). That helped her feel better quickly. But will she need supplements her whole life?? Or is there some other reason she's not absorbing iron? We eat very healthy with minimal processed food. Beef maybe 1x per week but plenty of other protein including eggs daily.  She also says her tummy hurts every single morning. That was before the iron (do not likely a side effect). Is that common with celiac?

I remember when I had my last biopsy, several years after diagnosis, mine came back with with raised lymphocytes but no villous damage, too! In my own case, my consultant wasn't remotely concerned - in fact, he said I might still get this result even if all I ever did was eat nothing but rice and water.   My coeliac blood tests were still steadily improving, albeit slowly, which was reassuring.

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @Atl222! Yes, your increased lymphocytes could be in response to oats or it could possibly be cross contamination from gluten that is getting into your diet from some unexpected source but not enough to damage the villi. And I'm certain that increased lymphocytes can be caused by other things besides celiac disease or gluten/oats exposure. See attachment. But you might try eliminating oats to start with and possibly dairy for a few months and then seek another endoscopy/biopsy to see if there was a reduction in lymphocyte counts.
