Luna bars

I'm a recently diagnosed celiac (4 months)I tried luna bars, marked gluten free, and had a terrible reaction to them. Why oh why can't they put it prominently on their products that they contain oats! The individual bars have gluten-free in large letters, and oats hidden on the side somewhere. Yes, I know I need to be more careful, but their labelling needs to be better. I'm in agony . I don't react to oat protein, but no oats seem to be truly gluten free or uncontaminated. I'm in such pain and discomfort today.

I think they use gluten-free oats if they label gluten-free.  Maybe you are reacting to the oats?  IF you think you are reacting to all oats, even gluten-free ones?

I haven't had a reaction to them.  I'm extremely sensitive to gluten but have no issues with gluten-free oats.

I have used them for a long time and haven't had any reaction. I also need to be really careful not to get any dairy so these work good for me.

Good to know I'll give it a try. I've been nervous to try oats even when they say they contain gluten-free oats.

      Other symptoms that Celiac Disease can cause but resemble other diseases so the cause may be misdiagnosed. What Are the Symptoms of Celiac Disease?

      Thanks Scott. They are gluten-free but cross contaminated.

      Hernia symptoms after gluten exposure

      By cristiana · Posted

      Hi there @MCAyr I have a small umbilical hernia which came about during my second pregnancy.   I can just about see it, and feel it, when I stand or sit, but it is far less noticeable when I lie down.  I always know when I am putting on weight because I can get pain and burning near the site, funnily enough not on the hernia itself but either side!  I would imagine bloating could cause the same effect as weight gain. In my case I don't think it is my bowel protruding but a bit of fat  - sorry,  I realise this isn't painting a very pretty picture.  But in truth it is scarcely noticeable.  It has never really got bigger in size. I was rather hoping that it could be operated on but here in the UK they don't seem to operate on every hernia anymore.  My GP isn't remotely worried about it. In a way, I should be thankful - it is like an early warning system that I need to go on a diet! Cristiana

      The hernia description would likely be unrelated to celiac disease, but you'd need to get it checked out by your doctor to be sure it's a hernia.
