Well, the decision will be up to you...but my experience with those bars was not good. I called the company several times and each time the staff I spoke with acted very incompetent...and each time they told me all of their bars were gluten-free. Which they clearly were not! Due to that, I decided to steer clear of them. But that was maybe about a year ago...So maybe they deserve a second chance? :huh: I would call them and see what response they give you, and on their allergy procedures too.

this is an old post but..

I used to eat the Kind fruit and nut bars all the time and didn't get sick. Yesterday I had one KIND fruit and nut with yougurt bar, and I felt nausea afterward. This morning I had two, and I feel like I'm dying. My stomach is in knots and I had to throw up. UGH! Make it go awayyyy! I don't know if it's gluten, because there are no gluten ingredients, or maybe I have other food allergies/intolerances. Maybe it's too much to digest the nuts... Whatever it is, it's no fun!

Oh noooooo...........I eat those and the Sesame peanut ones all the time!!!!!!! maybe that's why I feel so cruddy today- ate one yesterday and have a screeching headache and woke up with nausea in the middle of the night (I have Lyme so sometimes it's VERY hard to figure ouot which symptoms come from where). POOPY COW! Those bars are so tasty!

They also have an unusual political statement on their label. :huh: Unusual, in the sense that you don't see this often. They are an Austrialian Company.

The Almond & Coconut lists: Coconut Chips, Glucose, Puffed Rice, Chicory Fiber, Soy Lectithin.

I had one a couple days ago just to try out - no problem. I'll probably eat it again. And it was yummy with a good chewey/crunchy texture.

I think it was coconut apricot with a nut (I've thrown away the wrapper so can't check). I know it didn't have any cereal type ingredients. This bar had fewer ingredients than some of the others, and I would have avoided any dairy in any case.

i've eaten these with no problems, except that they flare up my TMJ because they're either crunchy, or too chewy. i really liked them :)

      Thank you for your response! I have considered starting a food diary in the past, I suppose this is as good a time as any to start.

      Chest pain from celiac

      By Betsy Crum · Posted

      I don't have health insurance so I have never had any testing done. I always thought if I stay away from gluten Ill be fine but I suppose that isn't enough anymore. I will look into getting an allergy test. Thank you for your input!

      Celiac Brand for Indian grocery

      By trents · Posted

      I remember reading an article summarizing testing done by Gluten Free Watchdog on several brands of dried lentils. They were all heavily cross contaminated with wheat and the commentary was to the effect that dried lentils in general were the most heavily cross contaminated product category in their testing data base. So, I would definitely not use any dried lentil product that was not tested to be Gluten Free (<20ppm of gluten) or Certified Gluten Free (<10ppm of gluten).

      While spices, lentils, beans and chickpeas are naturally gluten-free, the main concern with any brand is cross-contamination during processing and packaging. Since Suraj doesn't appear to certify their products as gluten-free or use dedicated gluten-free facilities, there is some risk of trace gluten exposure, especially with their corn flour which could be milled on shared equipment with gluten-containing grains. For absolute safety, I'd recommend looking for brands that are certified gluten-free by organizations like GFCO - good options include McCormick for spices, TruRoots or Bob's Red Mill for lentils and beans, and Anthony's for corn flour. That said, if you need to use Suraj products, be sure to carefully check labels for any wheat warnings, thoroughly rinse lentils and beans before cooking, and consider contacting the manufacturer directly to ask about their gluten testing protocols. Many in our community have found that investing in certified gluten-free brands gives them greater peace of mind and helps avoid accidental gluten exposure, especially for higher-risk items like flours.

      Is it common to develop a wheat allergy in addition to Celiac Disease?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Dapsone, commonly prescribed for dermatitis herpetiformis (the itchy gluten-related skin condition), comes with several potential side effects that patients should monitor. The most frequent issues include blood-related problems like hemolytic anemia (especially in those with G6PD deficiency, which is more common in certain ethnic groups) and methemoglobinemia that can cause fatigue, shortness of breath, or bluish skin. Many patients also experience headaches, nausea, dizziness, or skin sensitivity to sunlight. While these effects are often manageable, there are rare but serious risks including dapsone hypersensitivity syndrome (with fever, rash and organ inflammation), liver problems, or severe anemia that require immediate medical attention. That's why doctors typically monitor blood counts and liver enzymes regularly during treatment. A crucial tip: proton pump inhibitors like omeprazole can interfere with dapsone's effectiveness, so discuss all medications with your doctor. If you develop fever, unexplained fatigue, yellowing skin/eyes, or a spreading rash while on dapsone, stop taking it and contact your healthcare provider right away. For celiac patients specifically, remember that strict gluten-free eating may eventually reduce or eliminate the need for dapsone to control dermatitis herpetiformis symptoms over time.
