Okay guys, if you haven't tried Lara Bars yet, you're in for a real treat! They satisfy every urge I've ever had for something yummy and "bad". The apple pie bar really tastes like apple pie, the pecan pie bar tastes just like pecan pie, the ginger snap bar... Mmmmm.... They're all so good!

Sersiously, for those of you that miss sweet treats and haven't been able to curb the urge with any of the gluten-free foods, try Lara Bars. They're really great. Sorry for sounding like such a commercial. I'm just pretty hyped that I've found something so delicious to amend my boring menu with. ENJOY!!!

Lara Bars have satisfied my sweet tooth! I keep some at work and take some with me when I go out. I also enjoy Bumble Bars although they are not as sweet tasting.

so good. they are also dairy free and soy free and vegan, so if you have a very restricted diet they are great. I am gluten-free only, but still love them. ginger snap is my favorite.

Yea they are awesome. Also I just discovered another sweet tooth satisfyer. They are called Okari bars. They have them at whole foods. The one I had was just quinoa seeds, sesame seeds, molasses and brown rice syrup. They are gluten free and organic. Crunchy too. Yumm.

The dietician gave me samples of Larabars -- they are really good! Now I'm going to have to try the Okari bars! -- Don't need to hear of any other "sweet tooth satisfiers", though -- I have to lose weight -- my daughter is getting married in August -- I don't want to be the "fat mom" vs the "skinny mom"!!! I'll feel like the segment that used to be on SNL -- "The Big Butt Family"!!! :lol:

P.S. Just kidding about not needing to hear about any other sweet tooth satisfiers -- obviously I looked at this thread!!!!!

Guhlia - you are so right!!! At my last support group meeting they had larabars out for us to try. They flew off the table so we only got to try the apple pie. My husband loved it but I told 'him hands off you can have anything you want'. Those things are wonderful!

      Do you have online access to your celiac panel test results such that you could post them? tTG-IGG is kind of a secondary test. A weak positive in that one could indicate celiac disease but since it isn't as specific a marker as the tTG-IGA it is not real convincing. You could also have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) for which there is no test. Celiac disease must first be ruled out. It is 10x more common than celiac disease and shares many of the same symptoms. Some experts believe it can be a precursor to celiac disease. The antidote for both is the same: total avoidance of gluten.

      I haven't been on this forum for a long time, but it was absolutely wonderful during the diagnostic process!  My path for celiac disease diagnosis was the following: -Had normal IgA level, and my only serology positive test was the DGP IgG -Deficiencies in both Vitamins D and K that did not increase at first despite massive supplementation -Diagnosis of fat malabsorption both total and neutral -Diagnosis of severe exocrine pancreatic insufficiency (EPI) -Testing was completed to rule out causes of EPI, and the only one not ruled out was celiac. -Both traditional endoscopy and pill capsule endoscopy yielded negative results for biopsy confirmation, but my GI doctor said that both procedures simply could have missed the damaged spots. -EPI and fat malabsorption resolved after taking Creon for 6 months since my EPI was caused by celiac -23 and Me said I don't have either of the two prominent genes for celiac disease   Remember that you might not have 'textbook' symptoms, but you still may have celiac disease.   Also, I am SO incredibly grateful for this site for all the learning it has allowed me to do. I have a senior dog, and these last few weeks with her were very scary! After two hospital stays, she finally received an IBD diagnosis after having gastroenteritis and pancreatitis. I know that celiac disease is not IBD, however, through reading this site, I learned more about it. I was relieved when I found out she had IBD and not cancer this past Wednesday. I know IBD can be managed thanks to what I've learned here!  So celiac.com, not only did you help me, but you helped my pup too! Thank you ❤️

      It was tTG IGG that was flagged high. I'm not sure about the other stuff. I'm still eating my normal stuff.

      Thank you for your post, @Nedast, and welcome to the forum. It is interesting to read of your experiences. Although I've not had TMJ, from time to time I have had a bit of mild pain in my jaw, sharp stabbing pains and tingling in my face which appears to have been caused by issues with my trigeminal nerve.  I read that sometimes a damaged trigeminal nerve in coeliacs can heal after adopting a gluten free diet.  I try to keep out of cold winds or wear a scarf over my face when it is cold and windy, those conditions tend to be my 'trigger' but I do think that staying clear of gluten has helped.  Also, sleeping with a rolled up towel under my neck is a tip I picked up online, again, that seems to bring benefits. Thank you again for your input - living with this sort of pain can be very hard, so it is good to be able to share advice.
