Nana's No Gluten Cookie Bars

I love Nana's No Gluten Cookie Bars but they apparently don't love me! I am miserable at the moment. I usually have one for my mid- morning snack and I had been noticing for the past few days that I'm feeling extremely nauseated afterwards. At first I thought it might be something else but after the elimination process I'm sure it's the cookie bars, I just don't know what ingredient it is. Has anybody else out there had any trouble with them?

I don't know about that, but the one time i ate it i thought it taseted horrible. Could you have another sensitivity to another food that is just in that.

I love those cookies--Nana Banana is my favorite. Which one exactly did you eat? I haven't had problems with them. Could it be the sugar in them is stimulating your gut? They are a bit dense/rich...

I always eat the Nana Banana, sometime the Berry Vanilla. I didn't always have a reaction to them. I have no idea what ingredient it could be. Maybe my tummy is very sensitive right now due to a recent glutening disaster. Very frustrating.

How long ago was the disaster?

It was 5 days ago. I never have the same recovery time when I get glutened. Don't know if that is normal or not.

Just a guess--do they have soy flour in them? Some (like me) can't tolerate soy flour. Hope you figure it out :)

Thank you. I just found the list of ingredients: no soy but there is tapioca flour, brown rice flour and gluten free whole grain dextrins. I've never had a problem with brown rice flour or tapioca flour... so far. Don't know exactly what the last one is.

Again, I'm guessing :unsure: , but I also have become intolerant to tapioca flour. There are a few others on the board who are also sensitive to it. Welcome to the wonderful world of "food detectives"!

I guess I will have to keep an eye on the Tapioca flour. Thanks for the heads up on that. So far I have been lucky by not having "other" food sensitivities but maybe I have jumped the gun as far as that goes.

Okay...maybe weird conincidence but I recently (last week) ate a nana's cocoa one and my kids had the non-gluten-free ones and i got stomach troubles on Sunday and they seem to be slowing down today.

I was wondering if just the smell and coming in contact with the non-gluten-free nana's ones made me sick.

I can't eat the Nana's cookies, I love them, but the dextrins give me a really bad headache.

Just a thought, but not all Nana's cookies and bars are gluten-free. I don't know if this is the case where you bought them, but in all of the stores that sell Nana's in my area they put all of the gluten-free varieties right in with the gluten containing varieties- so it can be really easy to grab a gluten containing cookie by mistake.

Have you had the cocoa ones before? I've never been able to eat the cocoa ones, but the banana and vanilla don't cause me problems unless I'm in one of those states where just about everything I eat hurts. I haven't tried to narrow down the Nana's cocoa cookie problem for me. It's easier to avoid them and enjoy the others. I'm a Nana's fan.

Well, I never thought of them as dry, but guess they do make me a bit thirsty :) I just eat with a glass of water handy...

You said you've eaten them before with no problems?

I've personally had the problem of finding a food I love and eating it all the time until it starts to bug my stomach. I did this with honey, I've done it with sesame bars...you name it. I have to try to control myself for eating something to death.

I came on here specifically because I am on a strict elimiation trial, that has been going wonderfully! ...until I added these cookies. The only thing I can think of is, there IS a disclaimer on the package that the facility also produces products with wheat, peanuts, etc. They must not be very careful about handling after their gluten free product's ingredients are mixed and cooke. Go figure!

I like Nana's lemon cookies. The cocoa ones are too dry, in my opinion. I have not had any problems with them.

It is easy to grab the gluten cookies though. I did this once but noticed before I ate them. My co-workers were treated to cookies.

      Potential celiac need advice

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Ben98! If you have been consciously or unconsciously avoiding gluten because of the discomfort it produces then it is likely that your blood antibody testing for celiac disease has been rendered invalid. Valid testing requires regular consumption of generous amounts of gluten. The other strong possibility is that you have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) which shares many of the same symptoms with celiac disease but does not have the autoimmune component and thus does not damage the small bowel lining. It is 10x mor common than celiac disease. There is currently no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out. Some experts in the field believe it can be a precursor to the development of celiac disease. Having one or both of the primary genes for developing celiac disease does not imply that you will develop active celiac disease. It simply establishes the potential for it. About 40% of the population has the genetic potential but only about 1% develop active celiac disease.

      TTG blood test and total IGA tested on many occasions which have always remained normal, upper GI pain under my ribs since 2022. I had an endoscopy in 2023 which showed moderate gastritis. no biopsy’s were taken unfortunately. genetic test was positive for HLADQ2. extreme bloating after eating gluten, it’ll feel like I’ve got bricks in my stomach so uncomfortably full. the pain is like a dull ache under the upper left almost like a stitch feeling after a long walk. I am just wanting some advice has anyone here experienced gastritis with a gluten issue before? thank you

      "Conclusions: The urinary iodine level was significantly lower in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis, and iodine replacement may be important in preventing osteoporosis"  Body iodine status in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis Low iodine can cause thyroid problems, but Iodine deficiency will not show up in thyroid tests.  Iodine is important for healing, its job is to kill off defective and aging cells (Apoptosis). Skin, brain fog, nails, muscle tone all inproved when I started taking 600 mcg (RDA 150 - 1000 mcg) of Liquid Iodine drops. Some with dermatitis herpetiformis, Iodine exacerbates the rash.  I started at 1 drop (50 mcg) and worked up to 12 drops, but I don't have dermatitis herpetiformis.

      Thank you so much for sharing your experience and I found myself giggling with happiness as I read how your body reached such spring! And I hope that your current journey is also successful!! Definitely starting the food diary! So many amazing advices. And it’s very scary. It really hits all our soft spots as well as our confidence system. Most doctors I went thought I was underage despite being in my late 20s. Right now I look like am I twelve, but is also this body that’s taking so much, so I might as well love it too! Going to make the necessary changes and stay in this path. Thank you again! 🫶
