It needs to be gluten-free, soy free, peanut free, pistachio free, flax free. I don't want wheat grass as well. I have celiac. I am having a lot of trouble finding this. Can you help me please. Please share if you know of one. Thanks so much.

 

We are going on the road and was hoping to find something for travel.

I believe that Enjoy Life apple bars are free of all those things.

Check out Larabars. I don't know if you need peanut free with absolutely no chance of cc or not but Larabars do not contain soy. They make many different flavors & they also make different kinds of bars like their Jocalat & Uber. All gluten free. Here's a link:

We like those squeeze bags of organic applesauce! Dehydrated fruit is good. Plain nuts if they can be tolerated. We eat a lot of cheese sticks. I am always offering them. It is kind of a running joke in our family, "Want a cheese stick?" Need a little cooler for those.

Yes I need a gluten free bar with no cc since I have celiac. I can't have peanut, but can have almonds.  No soy or pistachio as well.  Yes a bit of a challenge and no flax if possible.  Please keep suggesting. Do dairy as well.

That's it....fruit bars. Yep, they just contain fruit and they are certified gluten-free too!

Think about making your own. Check out the Internet for recipes. Just make a pan of your own bars, cut and wrap individually and freeze in a large zip lock bag.

Yeah, I would go for making your own.  I have been looking at a lot of recipes since I have soy, dairy and eggs to deal with along with gluten.  There are a lot of recipes for bars and most look pretty forgiving if you want to alter the recipe, especially since most of them are just roughage held together by some sort of sticky substance.

I have used chopped dates and mushy bananas as a binder and it works!

  • Yep, I'll stick with fruit bars. Lara bars seem to be ok. But like anything, too much fruit can be a problem too. I guess we can't win.

Have you found a gluten-free cereal they can eat? If so you could make a rice krispy's treat type thing - you know - the one with marshmallow. If you don't want to use marshmallows or fluff you could use honey. If chocolate is OK you could get the enjoy life chocolate chips and put those in. I believe they are soy-free. Or carob chips?

      @nancydrewandtheceliacclue, you are welcome. After looking at this thread again, I would like to suggest that some of the other comments from @Russ H are worth following up on. The bird-bread may or may not be contributing to what you are experiencing, but it seems unlikely to be the whole story. If you have access to decent healthcare, I would write down your experiences and questions in outline form and bring this to your Dr. I suggest writing it down so you don't get distracted from telling the Dr everything you want to say while you have their attention.

      @Russ H, I partly agree and partly disagree with you. After looking at it again, I would say that the slick graphic I posted overestimates the risk. Your math is solid, although I find estimates of gluten in white bread at 10-12% rather than the 8% you use. Somewhat contradicting what I wrote before, I agree with you that it would be difficult to ingest 10 mg from flinging bread.  However, I would still suggest that @nancydrewandtheceliacclue take precautions against exposure in this activity. I'm not an expert, I could easily be wrong, but if someone is experiencing symptoms and has a known exposure route, it's possible that they are susceptible to less than 10 mg / day, or it is possible that there is/are other undetected sources of exposure that together with this one are causing problems. At any rate, I would want to eliminate any exposure until symptoms are under control before I started testing the safety of potentially risky activities. Here is another representation of what 10 mg of bread would look like. https://www.glutenfreewatchdog.org/news/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/10mgGlutenCrumbsJules.jpg Full article that image came from: https://www.glutenfreewatchdog.org/news/what-does-10-mg-of-gluten-look-like/

      @Aretaeus Cappadocia thank you for your reply and the link, that is very helpful to get a visual of just how small of an amount can cause a reaction. I know I am not consuming gluten or coming into contact with gluten from any other source. I will stop touching/tossing bread outside! My diet has not changed, and I do not have reactions to the things I am currently eating, which are few in number. My auto immune reaction just seems so severe. The abdominal pain is extreme. It takes a lot out of me. I guess I will be this way for the rest of my life if I ever happen to come into contact with gluten? I appreciate the help.

      Thankyou I did find out the Infectious disease is the route to go rather than dermatologist. I did reach out to two major hospitals and currently waiting on approval for one of them in Infectious Diseases to call me. I also did have implants ( I didn't know and sense not properly in my medical. Neither did surgeon)in 2006 and there was a leak 2023 during the same time I was dealing with covid, digestive issues, eyes and skin.Considering I " should  be fine" not consuming gluten/wheat, taking vitamins for sibo and STILL feeling terrible.It has to be parasites. I also take individual eye drops prescribed, could there be an issue there? Anyways my pcp thinks I need therapy because again they don't acknowledge my digestive issues because in my records it shows im fine, hintz the reason I had to go back to bay area hospital:(  I thought skin issues maybe sibo related but I feel and have seen and seriously trying not to think about it because it's disgusting.

      oops. I didn't see that before posting or I would have at least referenced it. The two recipes are pretty similar, but I think the newer one is a little simpler/faster. Next time though I will search more before posting.
