Think Thin Bar -so Good

I know that people have mentioned these before - but I was at my Whole Foods stocking up on the Lara Bars (love the ginger snap) and noticed that there were some "Think Thin" bars in a bin above them. They have "gluten free" right on the wrapper. I'd never had them before so i grabbed a few! Sooooo good. I had the German Chocolate Coffee Cake. Yum. Really, really good. $1.29 per bar and a great option to tuck into your bag for a snack on the go.

Also, as mentioned above - i love the Lara Bars too. Also, $1.29 per bar - and they are gluten free, soy free, dairy free and vegan. big fan of the ginger snap.

I have never heard of them, is it a power bar of some sort?

yeah - it describes itself as a "meal alternative nutrition bar".

20g of protein - and lots of vitamin A,C,E and folate as well as some of the other good stuff too. It was definitely a pick me up when i needed a little boost the other day. I never really have high expectations with these kind of bars - but i really liked this one!

Darn!

I do enjoy the Lara Bars, especially the Ginger snap!!

Just looking to add a little variety...

I just ordered some energy bars from Gluten Solutions that have lots of seeds and dried fruits in them. I'll give you all an update when they come B)

wow, im really surprised everyone likes them so much-- i bought them on sale at whole foods one time b/c i saw they were gluten-free and i thought they were disgusting- i had to throw it out! The chocolate to me tasted like Atkins chocolate, had that "sugar alcohol" taste...then again, i guess thats what i should have expected given the name... oh well, to each his own...to me, bring on the carbs, and the flavor!! :lol: i tried the german choc cake and one other...Bars are the one thing i havent really found a perfect replacement for- i used to LOVE luna bars...clif nectar are good, as are organic food bars, and lara bars...but i havent found one that compares to my trusty luna bars yet...

My favorite Think Thin bar is the Brownie Crunch. I live off of these things.

      It's also a symptom of EPI.

      Yes.  Proportionately a small piece to a toddler is like a whole slice to an adult.  This is an important clue.  She was doing well, accidentally ate gluten and later the old behavior returned. I remember reading posts here of people reacting to a kiss from someone who had just eaten gluten. Recent research indicates that 40% of first degree relatives of someone with Celiac have undiagnosed Celiac Disease.  Father, mother, siblings.  There is a whole list of symtoms of "silent celiac".  Here is an article of symptoms possibly mistaken for other causes than Celiac Disease.  When I finally stopped gluten at 63 years old, I counted 19 things that improved, including lifelong mouthbreathing.  I never smelled bad things, so I as a kid, I learned to respond to the other kid's response in order to not seem weird. I really recommend you pursue testing for all the family if you can, and the whole family following GFD.  It is difficult at first, but the benefits will be worth it.

      I get these but where we are, they are called chicken potstickers. I would obviously suggest that it is the ginger in the product that is causing a stimulative digestive effect! So you might want to do what I do, just cook one of them with the rest of your meal so you don't have the same effect. I love the Feel Good products but they are on the expensive side. (I also drink Reed's ginger brew so in general, ginger is a friend of mine..when delivered at the right dose). Hope this helps and have a warm healthy week!

      Has anyone had Steatorrhea (oily/fatty poop) as a temporary glutening symptom or should I be concerned I've introduced chronic gluten somewhere (like in meds)? I haven't gotten Steatorrhea since before I went gluten free. However, I moved in the past few weeks and haven't been as careful - I've eaten at restauraunts with cross contamination but only experienced minor symptoms like headache. The past week, I ate only gluten free food at home except I went to Red Robin and got fries (told them gluten-free; allergy). The next day I had Steatorrhea and the day after that.   I know it's a symptom of malabsorption so I was wondering if it was the kind of thing that could be caused by one event or if it was due to a more chronic issue. Of course I will speak to a GI but I recently moved and need to find one.   Thank you for any info

      A relative has opened another door for me on this issue -- the possibility of menopause raising HDL. Most studies suggest that menopause decreases HDL-C, however, one study found that often it's increased. "Surprisingly, HDL cholesterol was higher (p < 0.001) in postmenopausal women by 11%. Further, the number of women who had low HDL cholesterol was higher in pre vs. postmenopausal women. The range of ages were 26–49 years for pre-menopausal and 51–74 years for postmenopausal women. "This interesting finding has also been observed by other investigators. It is possible that the observed increase in HDL-C in postmenopausal women could be due to a protective mechanism to counterbalance the deleterious effects of biomarkers associated with menopause. However, further studies are needed to confirm this theory. And to the point raised earlier about functionality: "...some patients with elevated HDL-C concentrations could remain at risk for coronary events if HDL is not functional and some authors have suggested that this could be the case for menopausal women." Postmenopausal Women Have Higher HDL and Decreased Incidence of Low HDL than Premenopausal Women with Metabolic Syndrome. By no means to I think this is definitive, rather food for thought.
