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?

      Get tested for vitamin deficiencies. Though neuropathy can be a symptom of celiac, it can also be caused by deficiencies due to poor digestion caused by celiac and could be easier to treat.

      If you're just starting out in being gluten free, I would expect it to take months before you learned enough about hidden sources of gluten before you stopped making major mistakes. Ice cream? Not safe unless they say it is gluten free. Spaghetti sauce? Not safe unless is says gluten-free. Natural ingredients? Who knows what's in there. You pretty much...

      We feel your pain. It took me 20+ years of regularly going to doctors desperate for answers only to be told there was nothing wrong with me … when I was 20 pounds underweight, suffering from severe nutritional deficiencies, and in a great deal of pain. I had to figure it out for myself. If you're in the U.S., not having an official diagnosis does mean you can't claim a tax deduction for the extra expense of gluten-free foods. But it can also be a good thing. Pre-existing conditions might be a reason why a health insurance company might reject your application or charge you more money. No official diagnosis means you don't have a pre-existing condition. I really hope you don't live in the U.S. and don't have these challenges. Do you need an official diagnosis for a specific reason? Else, I wouldn't worry about it. As long as you're diligent in remaining gluten free, your body should be healing as much as possible so there isn't much else you could do anyway. And there are plenty of us out here who never got that official diagnosis because we couldn't eat enough gluten to get tested. Now that the IL-2 test is available, I suppose I could take it, but I don't feel the need. Someone else not believing me really isn't my problem as long as I can stay in control of my own food.

      If you're just starting out in being gluten free, I would expect it to take months before you learned enough about hidden sources of gluten before you stopped making major mistakes. Ice cream? Not safe unless they say it is gluten free. Spaghetti sauce? Not safe unless is says gluten-free. Natural ingredients? Who knows what's in there. You pretty much need to cook with whole ingredients yourself to avoid it completely. Most gluten-free products should be safe, but while you're in the hypersensitive phase right after going gluten free, you may notice that when something like a microwave meal seems to not be gluten-free … then you find out that it is produced in a shared facility where it can become contaminated. My reactions were much-more severe after going gluten free. The analogy that I use is that you had a whole army of soldiers waiting for some gluten to attack, and now that you took away their target, when the stragglers from the gluten army accidentally wander onto the battlefield, you still have your entire army going out and attacking them. Expect it to take two years before all of the training facilities that were producing your soldiers have fallen into disrepair and are no longer producing soldiers. But that is two years after you stop accidentally glutening yourself. Every time you do eat gluten, another training facility can be built and more soldiers will be waiting to attack. Good luck figuring things out.
