Detour Energy Bars

Anybody eating the Caramel Peanut Detour Energy Bar? I saw that Trader Joe's lists them under their gluten-free Bars section online but, was wondering if anyone had anything to say about them....either good or bad (Reactions, etc.)

The ingredients seem okay but, I would like to double check before I risk a weeks worth of feeling lousy.

Thanks,

Sorry, didn't see the original post. I contacted Detour a couple months ago and they said NONE of their protein bars are gluten-free. I've had a problem with TJ's list in the past - they had some protein bars listed as gluten-free that blatantly listed "barley malt" in the ingredients! :blink:

If you need any other protein bar recommendations let me know. I think I've tried every gluten-free one available :lol:

Hi Lauren,

It will be great if you could post some gluten free energy bar names that we can get in regular stores. I found out 3 weeks back that I have to go on gluten free diet and I am still learning. :)

Thanks

Yeah, I saw that on TJ's gluten-free list too. I use to eat them all of the time before I knew about celiac. I think of all protein bars (not the candy bars they like to call protein bars) this one is one of the best. Most "real" protein bars taste like crap but this one is good. I guess that doesn't do much good since we can't eat them (well, actually I am not sure if we can or not). I have avoided them b/c I wasn't sure. Sorry, I know that doesn'y help much.

I really like the Genisoy chocolate peanut butter protein bars. Also - several of the Zone protein bars are gluten-free - the chocolate raspberry one is yummy! And they can be found pretty much anywhere. The Think Thin bars (labeled gluten-free right on the wrapper) aren't very tasty - but I'll still eat them if I know I need to get some protein in me! Other snack bars that are good, but don't have much protein include Larabars and Clif nectar bars.

I called next protein- the manufacturer of detour/ oneway/joyride/ and uturn bars- and the woman told me they were gluten-free. (but they are made on production lines that contain gluten.)

I really hope this is true, because I eat them almost every day. I havent had a reaction, and I am pretty sensitive.

What ingredient is suspicious? or is it the Contamination issue?

thanks a lot

Maybe things have changed? I saved the e-mail that I got from them a few months ago:

Dear Lauren,

Thank you for contacting us regarding our Designer Whey products.

Unfortunately, none of the bars are gluten free. However, all seven

award winning flavors of our Designer Whey protein are gluten free.

Good luck with all of your health and fitness goals!

Sincerely,

Next Proteins

Customer Service

The gluten-free stuff they were referring to was a protein powder.

      Glutened

      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 fro...

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      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...

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      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...

      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 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.
