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.

      Get tested for vitamin deficiencies. Though neuropathy can be a symptom of celiac, it can also be caused by deficiencies due to poor digestion caused by celiac and could be easier to treat.

      If you're just starting out in being gluten free, I would expect it to take months before you learned enough about hidden sources of gluten before you stopped making major mistakes. Ice cream? Not safe unless they say it is gluten free. Spaghetti sauce? Not safe unless is says gluten-free. Natural ingredients? Who knows what's in there. You pretty much...

      We feel your pain. It took me 20+ years of regularly going to doctors desperate for answers only to be told there was nothing wrong with me … when I was 20 pounds underweight, suffering from severe nutritional deficiencies, and in a great deal of pain. I had to figure it out for myself. If you're in the U.S., not having an official diagnosis does mean you can't claim a tax deduction for the extra expense of gluten-free foods. But it can also be a good thing. Pre-existing conditions might be a reason why a health insurance company might reject your application or charge you more money. No official diagnosis means you don't have a pre-existing condition. I really hope you don't live in the U.S. and don't have these challenges. Do you need an official diagnosis for a specific reason? Else, I wouldn't worry about it. As long as you're diligent in remaining gluten free, your body should be healing as much as possible so there isn't much else you could do anyway. And there are plenty of us out here who never got that official diagnosis because we couldn't eat enough gluten to get tested. Now that the IL-2 test is available, I suppose I could take it, but I don't feel the need. Someone else not believing me really isn't my problem as long as I can stay in control of my own food.

      If you're just starting out in being gluten free, I would expect it to take months before you learned enough about hidden sources of gluten before you stopped making major mistakes. Ice cream? Not safe unless they say it is gluten free. Spaghetti sauce? Not safe unless is says gluten-free. Natural ingredients? Who knows what's in there. You pretty much need to cook with whole ingredients yourself to avoid it completely. Most gluten-free products should be safe, but while you're in the hypersensitive phase right after going gluten free, you may notice that when something like a microwave meal seems to not be gluten-free … then you find out that it is produced in a shared facility where it can become contaminated. My reactions were much-more severe after going gluten free. The analogy that I use is that you had a whole army of soldiers waiting for some gluten to attack, and now that you took away their target, when the stragglers from the gluten army accidentally wander onto the battlefield, you still have your entire army going out and attacking them. Expect it to take two years before all of the training facilities that were producing your soldiers have fallen into disrepair and are no longer producing soldiers. But that is two years after you stop accidentally glutening yourself. Every time you do eat gluten, another training facility can be built and more soldiers will be waiting to attack. Good luck figuring things out.
