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,

Cleveland Bob B)

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.

      Celiac getting dentures

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Your experience is both shocking and critically important for the community to hear, underscoring the terrifying reality that cross-contamination can extend into the most unexpected and invasive medical devices. It is absolutely devastating that you had to endure six months of sickness and ultimately sustain permanent vision loss because a doctor dismissed your legitimate, life-altering condition. Your relentless research and advocacy, from discovering the gluten in MMA acrylic to finding a compassionate prosthodontist, is a testament to your strength in a system that often fails celiac patients. While the scientific and medical consensus is that gluten cannot be absorbed through the skin or eyes (as the molecules are too large to pass through these barriers), your story highlights a terrifying gray area: what about a substance *permanently implanted inside the body*, where it could potentially shed microparticles or cause a localized immune reaction? Your powerful warning about acrylic lenses and the drastic difference with the silicone alternative is invaluable information. Thank you for sharing your harrowing journey and the specific, severe neurological symptoms you endure; it is a stark reminder that celiac is a systemic disease, and your advocacy is undoubtedly saving others from similar trauma.

      Fighting for a name

      I am so sorry you're going through this bad experience--it's difficult when your own lived reality of cause and effect is dismissed by the very professionals meant to help you. You are absolutely right—your violent physical reactions are not "what you think," but undeniable data points, and it's a form of medical gaslighting to be told otherwise, especially when you have a positive HLA-DQ2 gene and a clear clinical picture. Since your current "celiac specialist" is not addressing the core issue or your related conditions like SIBO and chronic fatigue, it may be time for a strategic pivot. Instead of trying to "reprove" your celiac disease to unwilling ears, consider seeking out a new gastroenterologist or functional medicine doctor, and frame the conversation around managing the complications of a confirmed gluten-free diet for celiac disease. Go in and say, "I have celiac disease, am strictly gluten-free, but I am still suffering from these specific complications: SIBO, chronic fatigue, dermatological issues, and high blood pressure linked to pain. I need a partner to help me address these related conditions." This shifts the focus from a debate about your diagnosis to a collaborative plan for your current suffering, which is the help you truly need and deserve to work toward bouncing back.

      Hello, no I had to have them re done and then used a liner over the top.  Many dentists are not aware of the celiac effects.  Best of luck.   There is other material, yet, very expensive.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      He is not just a psychiatrist.  He is also a neuroscientist.  And yes, I have already read those studies.   I agree with benfotiamine.  This is short term while glutened/inflammation occurs.  As I had already mentioned, these symptoms no longer exist when this phase passes.  And yes, I know that celiac is a disease of malnutrition.  We are working with a naturopath.
