Any Gluten-soy Free Energy Bars?

I guess I have to give up my beloved Balance Bars...they have soy and gluten. Does anyone know of any decent tasting protein bars without soy or gluten....or diary?

Bumble Bars are also good -- the package says gluten and dairy-free and I just read the ingredients and didn't see any soy -- just nuts, seeds, and brown rice syrup to hold it together.

larabars, organic food bars, alpsnack, clif nectar bars, bumble bars, ruth's hemp or flax bars

Yep, my favorites are Lara Bars and Bumble Bars. Love me a Chocolate Bumble Bar with some natural peanut butter on it. :D

Where do you guys find Bumble Bars? I can't find them anywhere around me.

Lara bars are quite tasty though!

I wish I could get some of those bars in Canada.

I get Bumble Bars at Whole Foods. They are different from other energy bars, in that they are literally seeds and nuts held together by a sticky rice syrup substance. They remind me of those cakes of bird feed. But they taste really yummy if you're into nuts and seeds!

I'm all about the nuts and seeds.

And peanut butter. And Nutella.

And Envirokids animal crackers.

WGibs, I think we would make fantastic friends. To bad we live on opposite sides of the country and can't get together for a snack! ;)

I know you can get the Bumble Bars in Canada. The one I tried was absolutely disgusting though. Theres ReBar bars that were alright and organic fruit bar things (yellow packaging)...if you look at the bar section at health food stores a ton are labelled gluten-free on the box they are in.

What about Atkins protein bars? Those are supposed to be gluten free too, am I right? I hope so because I just had one!

Oh and Balance energy bars, are NOT gluten free. They don't list gluten in the ingredients, but it clearly states that they use the same machinery to produce products containing wheat. I actually got glutened from them a couple of days ago, and it was BAD news. Still not 100% better yet.

      Thank you so much for your response! I have a follow-up appointment with her pediatrician next week, and also an appointment with her pediatric GI Dr. Your message gives me some ideas for questions to ask the doctors. My daughter went strictly gluten-free in January following her first endoscopy so I’m guessing her diet is pretty solid. She is compliant but also reliant on others to make her food (at school and home) but she didn’t have this problem prior to the gluten challenge when she went strictly gluten-free. It really makes sense to me that the gluten challenge inflammation hasn’t healed and I will be asking her doctors about nutritional issues. I ask for anecdotal stories because the research surrounding the gluten challenge seems to be inconsistent and inconclusive (at least what I’ve been able to find!). Thank you so much for your response!

      While the positive endoscopy confirms the diagnosis, it's important to be skeptical of the idea that your daughter will simply "bounce back" to a pre-challenge state. The gluten challenge was essentially a controlled, prolonged exposure that likely caused significant inflammation and damage to her system; it's not surprising that recovery is slow and that a subsequent exposure hit her so hard. The persistent fatigue is a major red flag that her body is still struggling, potentially indicating that the initial damage hasn't fully healed or that her system is now in a heightened state of reactivity. Rather than seeking anecdotal timelines from others, her experience underscores the critical need for close follow-up with her gastroenterologist to rule out other nutrient deficiencies commonly caused by celiac flare-ups, like iron or B12, and to consult with a dietitian to scrutinize her diet for any hidden sources of cross-contamination that could be perpetuating her symptoms. The most common nutrient deficiencies associated with celiac disease that may lead to testing for the condition include iron, vitamin D, folate (vitamin B9), vitamin B12, calcium, zinc, and magnesium.  Unfortunately many doctors, including my own doctor at the time, don't do extensive follow up testing for a broad range of nutrient deficiencies, nor recommend that those just diagnosed with celiac disease take a broad spectrum vitamin/mineral supplement, which would greatly benefit most, if not all, newly diagnosed celiacs.

Brain fog, like other celiac disease symptoms, does improve after you to 100% gluten-free, and supplementation will also help.

      Were you doing any of the new home construction yourself? Drywall compounds and adhesives used in construction have been known to cause problems for some celiacs.

      Hello @Scatterbrain and welcome to the forum I am sorry to hear you have had a return of your symptoms.  My first thoughts were that stress can cause IBS-like symptoms - a friend of mine has been suffering a huge amount of stress and when that happens she gets diarrhea.  But you say that you haven't got any bad abdominal issues, so perhaps you could share what other symptoms you are having?
