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.

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.

      Chances of being coeliac

      By JoJo0611 · Posted

      I have had the tTG-IgA blood test my result are >250.0  I am waiting for the appointment with the gastroenterologist for endoscopy and biopsies.    what are the chances it’s not coeliacs.  waiting and not knowing is so hard. Especially the eating of gluten knowing it may be causing you more harm and coping with the symptoms.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @sleuth, Has your son been checked for nutritional deficiencies?  All of those symptoms can be caused by malnutrition.  I had severe malnutrition that went unrecognized by my doctors.  Intense fatigue, brain fog, depression, anxiety, and gastrointestinal distress are symptoms of deficiencies in the eight essential B vitamins, especially Thiamine B1, which becomes low first because the demand is higher when we're sick.     Celiac Disease causes inflammation and damage of the intestinal lining which inhibits absorption of essential nutrients.  Checking for nutritional deficiencies is part of proper follow up care for people with celiac disease.   Is your son taking any vitamin supplements?  Most supplements contain thiamine mononitrate which in not readily absorbed and utilized by the body.  Benfotiamine is a form of thiamine that is shown to promote intestinal healing.  Benfotiamine is available over the counter.  Benfotiamine is safe and nontoxic.   Is your son eating processed gluten-free foods?  Gluten-free processed foods are not required to be enriched with vitamins like their gluten containing counterparts.   Is your son following a low histamine diet?  Histamine is released as part of the immune response to gluten and other foods high in histamine.  High levels of histamine in the brain can cause anxiety, insomnia, and depression.  The body needs the B vitamins to make the enzyme Diamine Oxidase (DAO) to break down and clear histamine.  DAO supplements are available over the counter.  Vitamin C helps clear histamine as well.  Some people find over the counter antihistamines helpful as well, but they're not for long term use.   Nicotine has antihistamine-like properties, but can also irritate the gut.  Tobacco, from which nicotine is derived, is a nightshade (like tomatoes, potatoes, peppers and eggplant).  Nightshades contain alkaloids which affect gastrointestinal permeability, causing leaky gut syndrome.  Nicotine can cause gastrointestinal irritation and alter for the worse the microbiome. Safer alternatives to Nicotine that have antihistamine properties include Lemon Balm (Sweet Melissa),  Passion Flower, Chamomile, and Bilberry.  They can be taken as supplements, extracts, or tea.  These will help with the anxiety, insomnia and depression in a much safer way. Oolong tea is also helpful.  Oolong tea contains the amino acid L-Theanine which helps the digestive tract heal.  (L -Theanine supplements are available over the counter, if not a tea drinker.)  Tryptophan, a form of Niacin B3, also helps calm digestive symptoms.  Another amino acid, L-Lysine, can help with anxiety and depression.  I've used these for years without problems.   What ways to cope have you tried in the past?

      In general if it is labelled gluten-free then it should be ok for most celiacs, however, those who are super sensitive (which is most who have dermatitis herpetiformis) may want to eat only certified gluten-free items, which are supposed to test down to 10ppm (but don't always!).

      Celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis has taken Me from Me

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Have faith, you will survive. I get mine from Pipingrock.com.  500 capsules of 10,000 IU for $22.  That is almost two years worth for me.  250 caps 5000 IU for $6.69 if you only take 5,000 a day.  It's like half the price of Walmart.
