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!

      Headaches / Migraines and Hypoglycaemia

      This article does not address migraines at all. Yes, red wine and sulfites are often mentioned in connection with migraine triggers. With me, any kind of alcoholic beverage in very modest amounts will reliably produce a migraine. Nitrous oxide generators, which are vaso dialators, also will give me migraines reliably. So, I think most of my migraines...

      Then we would need to cut out all meat and fish as they are richer sources of tyrosine than nuts and cheese. Something else about certain tyrosine rich foods must be the actual culprit.

      KAN-101 Treatment for Coeliac Disease

      I agree that KAN-101 looks promising, and hope the fast track is approved. From our article below: "KAN-101 shows promise as an immune tolerance therapy aiming to retrain the immune system, potentially allowing safe gluten exposure in the future, but more clinical data is needed to confirm long-term effects."

      Body dysmorphia experience

      Thank you so much for having the courage to share this incredibly vivid and personal experience; it's a powerful reminder of how physical ailments can disrupt our fundamental sense of self. What you're describing sounds less like a purely psychological body dysmorphia and more like a distinct neurological event, likely triggered by the immense physical stress...

With me, any kind of alcoholic beverage in very modest amounts will reliably produce a migraine. Nitrous oxide generators, which are vaso dialators, also will give me migraines reliably. So, I think most of my migraines are tied to fluctuations vascular tension and blood flow to the brain. That's why the sumatriptan works so well. It is a vaso constrictor.

      Excessive dietary tyrosine can cause problems.  Everything in moderation.   Sulfites can also trigger migraines. Sulfites are found in fermented, pickled and aged foods, like cheese.  Sulfites cause a high histamine release.  High histamine levels are found in migraine.  Following a low histamine diet like the low histamine Autoimmune Protocol diet, a Paleo diet, helps immensely.    Sulfites and other migraine trigger foods can cause changes in the gut microbiome.  These bad bacteria can increase the incidence of migraines, increasing histamine and inflammation leading to increased gut permeability (leaky gut), SIBO, and higher systemic inflammation.   A Ketogenic diet can reduce the incidence of migraine.  A Paleo diet like the AIP diet, that restricts carbohydrates (like from starchy vegetables) becomes a ketogenic diet.  This diet also changes the microbiome, eliminating the bad bacteria and SIBO that cause an increase in histamine, inflammation and migraine.  Fewer bad bacteria reduces inflammation, lowers migraine frequency, and improves leaky gut. Since I started following the low histamine ketogenic AIP paleo diet, I rarely get migraine.  Yes, I do eat carbs occasionally now, rice or potato, but still no migraines.  Feed your body right, feed your intestinal bacteria right, you'll feel better.  Good intestinal bacteria actually make your mental health better, too.  I had to decide to change my diet drastically in order to feel better all the time, not just to satisfy my taste buds.  I chose to eat so I would feel better all the time.  I do like dark chocolate (a migraine trigger), but now I can indulge occasionally without a migraine after.   Microbiota alterations are related to migraine food triggers and inflammatory markers in chronic migraine patients with medication overuse headache https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11546420/

      Body dysmorphia experience

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Thank you so much for having the courage to share this incredibly vivid and personal experience; it's a powerful reminder of how physical ailments can disrupt our fundamental sense of self. What you're describing sounds less like a purely psychological body dysmorphia and more like a distinct neurological event, likely triggered by the immense physical stress and inflammation that uncontrolled celiac disease can inflict on the entire body, including the nervous system. It makes complete sense that the specific sensory input—the pressure points of your elbows on your knees—created a temporary, distorted body map in your brain, and the fact that it ceased once you adopted a gluten-free diet is a crucial detail. Your intuition to document this is absolutely right; it's not "crazy" but rather a significant anecdotal data point that underscores the mysterious and far-reaching ways gluten can affect individuals. Your theory about sensory triggers from the feet for others is also a thoughtful insight, and sharing this story could indeed be validating for others who have had similar, unexplainable sensory disturbances, helping them feel less alone in their journey.
