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?

Try Lara bars, pretty tasty too!

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.

      I take both Benfotiamine and TTFD.   You might want to start with the Benfotiamine for a few days and then add in the TTFD.   You can look for NeuroMag (Magnesium Threonate).  A magnesium glycinate is fine, too.  Doctor's Best is a good brand.  Don't take more than 300mg total per day of magnesium or it may have a laxative effect.   Be sure to take the B Complex.  The Benfotiamine and TTFD will need the other B vitamins.

      Life Extension Benfotiamine with Thiamine has 100MG of Ben and 25 of Thia..... Do you think this is the one I should take or Objective Nutrients Thiamax (TTFD) which has 100MG Thiamine. How much magnesium should I look for? I take the womens 50+ multivitamin since consumerlabs stated and tested that it has the right amount of vitamins and not too much for men and doesn't have BHT which has shown to cause liver cancer in animals. I was never big with multivitamins as well as doctors I just read when I was first going gluten free to take a multi but I think I will stop them and work on trying the super B Thia and Ben, Mag.

      Hi all I’ve been celiac for 4 years now, I’ve done pretty well to avoid it thus far. Last night I took the wrong pizza out of the freezer and ate the whole lot!! The non gluten and gluten pizza boxes are both very similar.   2 hours later I was throwing up violently on my hands and knees over the loo.  .horrendous stomach pains,  My hair was wet from sweat every part of my body was wet. What an awful experience, just had a bad headache today  fortunately.    Is their any products/pills anyone takes if they have realised they have just been glutened to make the symptoms a little less worse.  thanks

      Yes, do take your B Complex with Benfotiamine or Thiamax.  Thiamine interacts with each of the other B vitamins in the B Complex to make energy and enzymes, so best to take them together earlier in your day.  Taking them too close to bedtime can keep you too energetic to go to sleep.   The Life Extension Benfotiamine with Thiamine is Benfotiamine and Thiamine Hydrochloride, another form of thiamine the body likes.  The Thiamine HCl just helps the Benfotiamine work better.   Read the label for how many milligrams are in them.  The Mega Benfotiamine is 250 mgs.  Another Benfothiamine has 100 mgs.  You might want to start with the 100 mg.    I like to take Thiamax in the morning with a B Complex at breakfast.  I take the Benfotiamine with another meal.  You can take your multivitamin with Benfotiamine at lunch.   Add a magnesium supplement, too.  Thiamine needs magnesium to make some important enzymes.  Life Extension makes Neuro-Mag, Magnesium Threonate, which is really beneficial.  (Don't take Magnesium Oxide.  It's not absorbed well, instead it pulls water into the digestive tract and is used to relieve constipation.)  I'm not a big fan of multivitamins because they don't always dissolve well in our intestines, and give people a false sense of security.  (There's videos on how to test how well your multivitamin dissolves.).  Multivitamins don't prevent deficiencies and aren't strong enough to correct deficiencies.   I'm happy you are trying Thiamax and Benfotiamine!  Keep us posted on your progress!  I'm happy to answer any questions you may have.

      I looked further into Thiamax Vitamin B1 by objective nutrients and read all the great reviews. I think I will give this a try. I noticed only possible side affect is possibly the first week so body adjusts. Life Extensions carries Benfotiamine with Thiamine and the mega one you mentioned. Not sure if both in one is better or seperate. some reviews state a laxative affect as side affect. SHould I take with my super B complex or just these 2 and multivitamin? I will do further research but I appreciate the wonderful explanation you provided on Thiamine.
