Have you had the Enjoy life snack bars?

They are okay but compared to the box the snack bars are small. And then when you open the package to get to the bar it is even smaller :angry: I don't think they are worth the money.

Just wanted to let you know they are really small. Same with their cereal. I opened the box to find a smaller package about 1/2 full.

Anyone else find this to be annoying?

Hahahah...I feel the same. What a rip-off. :angry:

I bought glutino cereal bars. Need like 3 of them for a complete breakfast.

Maybe so.. but when you deal with multiple intolercens/allergens at once (wife has nut, son has egg, gluten, etc) they are a great and easy choice.

I was also surprised by the smallness when I first got a box, but as Vincent said--sometimes you have to take what we can get! I did just recently try the glutano breakfast bars--they taste like nutragrain bars, pretty good I thought...

They are small but taste good and are easy for my dd who can't have gluten or dairy.

Yes, it was quite a shock the first time I opened the bars or the cereal. I was mad at first, but then realized 1)the weight, etc. is listed on the package; no I don't usually pay attention, but it's there; 2) the food tastes good, imo, and they are a dedicated facility. This manufacturer has never caused me to have a tummy ache. That's worth a lot!

They are small, but they are one of the few snacks that I can toss in my purse and have on hand for "emergencies" I also like them for breakfast, two of them with some fruit...

I agree, it stinks that they are small and cost so much, but the comfort in knowing I'm safe is worth it. Plus, they are the only bars that I can get in my city that I can have. The only ones that don't have atleast one of my allergies in them!

I have been having a hard time finding cereal bars for my daughter to take to school. She hates them all so finally I made my own. I used a recipe and added some of my own stuff. After they cooled off I cut them into squares and wrapped them in wax paper. I froze some too. They passed the taste test - similar to quaker choc. chip bars.

Recipe- 1/2 c brown sugar-1/4 c dark corn syrup-1/3 c sweetened condensed mild-2TBSP butter- 1/2 tsp vanilla- 31/2 c granola( I used the enjoy life granola cereal- it tastes nasty by itself but worked in this recipe) 1 c crispy brown rice cereal.

Mix sugar, corn syrup, milk,butter and vanilla together. Add both cereals and mix . It will be very sticky. Press into a greased 9" by 13" pan. Bake at 350 for 20 minutes. After about 10 minutes I took them out of the oven and put semi sweet choc chips all over the top and baked for another 10 minutes. Then I let them cool about 15 minutes and cut them .

They were really good and really quick to make. Hope this helps you guys out. jackie

Jackie, thanks so much for that recipe! I'm going to have to try that! Do you mind if I share the recipe in our local support groups newsletter and in the column I write for my local health food store's newspaper?

      Bob red mill gluten free oats

      Not necessarily. The "Gluten Free" label means not more than 20ppm of gluten in the product which is often not enough for super sensitive celiacs. You would need to be looking for "Certified Gluten Free" (GFCO endorsed) which means no more than 10ppm of gluten. Having said that, "Gluten Free" doesn't mean that there will necessarily be more gluten than "Certified...

      Disaccharide deficient, confusing biopsy results, no blood test

      I think it is wise to seek a second opinion from a GI doc and to go on a gluten free diet in the meantime. The GI doc may look at all the evidence, including the biopsy report, and conclude you don't need anything else to reach a dx of celiac disease and so, there would be no need for a gluten challenge. But if the GI doc does want to do more testing, you...

      High TTG-IgG and Normal TTG-IgA

      Let me suggest an adjustment to your terminology. "Celiac disease" and "gluten intolerance" are the same. The other gluten disorder you refer to is NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) which is often referred to as being "gluten sensitive". Having said that, the reality is there is still much inconsistency in how people use these terms. Since celiac disease...

The GI doc may look at all the evidence, including the biopsy report, and conclude you don't need anything else to reach a dx of celiac disease and so, there would be no need for a gluten challenge. But if the GI doc does want to do more testing, you can worry about the gluten challenge at that time. But between now and the time of the appointment, if your symptoms improve on a gluten free diet, that is more evidence. Just keep in mind that if a gluten challenge is called for, the bare minimum challenge length is two weeks of the daily consumption of at least 10g of gluten, which is about the amount found in 4-6 slices of wheat bread. But, I would count on giving it four weeks to be sure.

      thank you both for the insights. i agree, im going to back off on dairy and try sucraid. thanks for the tip about protein powder, i will look for whey protein powder/drinks!   i don’t understand why my doctor refused to order it either. so i’ve decided i’m not going to her again, and i’m going to get a second opinion with a GI recommended to me by someone with celiac. unfortunately my first appointment isn’t until February 17th. do you think i should go gluten free now or wait until after i meet with the new doctor? i’m torn about what i should do, i dont know if she is going to want to repeat the endoscopy, and i know ill have to be eating gluten to have a positive biopsy. i could always do the gluten challenge on the other hand if she does want to repeat the biopsy.    thanks again, i appreciate the support here. i’ve learned a lot from these boards. i dont know anyone in real life with celiac.

      Let me suggest an adjustment to your terminology. "Celiac disease" and "gluten intolerance" are the same. The other gluten disorder you refer to is NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) which is often referred to as being "gluten sensitive". Having said that, the reality is there is still much inconsistency in how people use these terms. Since celiac disease does damage to the small bowel lining it often results in nutritional deficiencies such as anemia. NCGS does not damage the small bowel lining so your history of anemia may suggest you have celiac disease as opposed to NCGS. But either way, a gluten-free diet is in order. NCGS can cause bodily damage in other ways, particularly to neurological systems.
