Larabar - gluten-free & soy, oat, & corn free - yay!

And xanthan-free!

I just found something new I am happy about, so I wanted to share with everyone.  Larabars are gluten-free and also no corn, soy, or oats.  At least in the "original" bars anyway (they have different bars and bites that I have not checked out yet).  They have flavors like chocolate chip cookie dough,  banana chocolate chip, carrot cake, cashew cookie, cherry pie, apple pie, blueberry muffin, coconut, etc.   I wish my local store carried all the flavors, but so far I tried the cashew cookie and I love it. It was so good with an ice coffee.   I also tried the blueberry muffin, which did actually have a sort of muffin-like taste to it.  The chocolate chip cookie dough didn't taste like cookie dough or a cookie to me - it tasted like dates and chocolate, but was still good.  I really LOVE the cashew cookie.  My daughter tried a coconut cream pie one and liked it.  They were on sale in Market Basket, five for $5, although seeing boxes of them online they seem to average close to a dollar a piece or so in general.  They make a nice little treat just once in a while.  I have missed having something with coffee or tea sometimes. I used to like to have a biscotti or ginger snap or a few fig newtons every now and then with a cup of something hot, and I miss that. So I am really happy to stumble upon these bars.  No corn, soy, or oats, yay! No xanthan gum either.  Seems so many gluten-free products I find have at least one or more of those in it.  I bet kids might likes these too.  Just a fun little treat. They seem to be available at many grocery stores (not sure about drugstores), but also Walmart online and amazon sell them.  I look forward to trying more flavors.

      @Scott Adams That's actually exactly what I ended up asking for— vodka tonic with Titos.  I saw on their website that Tito's is certified gluten-free (maybe many of the clear vodkas are, I don't know, I just happened to look up Tito's in advance). I should have actually specified the 'splash' though, because I think with the amount of tonic she put in there, it did still end up fairly sweet.  Anyway, I think I've almost got this drink order down!

      Be interesting to see the effects of dairy reintroduction with gluten. As well as milk protein sensitivity in and of itself the casein part particularly has been shown to mimic gluten in about 50% of celiacs. Keep us posted!

      She has been dairy free for six years, so she’d already been dairy free for two years at her last testing and was dairy free for the entire gluten challenge this year as well (that had positive results). However, now that we’re doing another biopsy in six weeks, we decided to do everything we can to try to “see” the effects, so we decided this past week to add back in dairy temporarily for breakfast (milk and cereal combo like you said).

      Hi Christiana, Many thanks for your response.  Interestingly, I too cannot eat wheat in France without feeling effects (much less than in the US, but won't indulge nonetheless).  I also understand children are screened for celiac in Italy prior to starting their education. Wise idea as it seems my grandson has the beginning symptoms (several celiacs in his dad's family), but parents continue to think he's just being difficult.  Argh.  There's a test I took that diagnosed gluten sensitivity in 2014 via Entero Labs, and am planning on having done again.  Truth be told, I'm hoping it's the bromine/additives/preservatives as I miss breads and pastas terribly when home here in the states!  Be well and here's to our guts healing ❤️

      Lol that’s so true! Hope you get clarity, it’s tough when there’s doubt. There’s so much known about celiac disease with all the scientific research that’s been done so far yet practically and clinically there’s also so much unknown, still. Out of curiosity what’s her dairy consumption like? Even compared to early years to now? Has that changed? Calcium is dependent in the mechanism of antigen presenting cells in the gut. High calcium foods with gluten grains can initiate inflammation greater.  This is why breakfast cereals and milk combo long term can be a ticking time bomb for genetically susceptible celiacs (not a scientific statement by any means but my current personal opinion based on reasoning at present). Milk and wheat are the top culprits for food sensitivity. Especially in childhood. There are also patient cases of antibodies normalising in celiac children who had milk protein intolerance/ delayed type allergy. Some asymptomatic. There were a couple of cases of suspected celiacs that turned out to have milk protein intolerance that normalised antibodies on a gluten containing diet. Then there were others that only normalised antibodies once gluten and milk was eliminated. Milk kept the antibodies positive. Celiac disease is complicated to say the least.
