there are like 5 flavors that are gluten-free and i got 3 that are gluten-free and df.

they are just little snack bars , but not junk food. all natural..yummy.

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 :)

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By trents · Posted

      NCGS does not cause damage to the small bowel villi so, if indeed you were not skimping on gluten when you had the antibody blood testing done, it is likely you have celiac disease.

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I will assume you did the gluten challenge properly and were eating a lot of gluten daily for 6-8 weeks before your test, but if not, that could be the issue. You can still have celiac disease with negative blood test results, although it's not as common:  Clinical and genetic profile of patients with seronegative coeliac disease: the natural history and response to gluten-free diet: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5606118/  Seronegative Celiac Disease - A Challenging Case: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9441776/  Enteropathies with villous atrophy but negative coeliac serology in adults: current issues: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34764141/  Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS.

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By Xravith · Posted

      I'm very confused... My blood test came out negative, I checked all antibodies. I suppose my Total IgA levels are normal (132 mg/dl), so the test should be reliable. Still, I'm not relieved as I can't tolerate even a single biscuit. I need to talk to my doctor about whether a duodenal biopsy is necessary. But it is really possible to have intestinal damage despite having a seronegative results? I have really strong symptoms, and I don't want to keep skipping university lectures or being bedridden at home.

      CT with contrast.

      They may want to also eliminate other possible causes for your symptoms/issues and are doing additional tests.  Here is info about blood tests for celiac disease--if positive an endoscopy where biopsies of your intestinal villi are taken to confirm is the typical follow up.

      New labs are now very elevated

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      In the Europe the new protocol for making a celiac disease diagnosis in children is if their tTg-IgA (tissue transglutaminase IgA) levels are 10 times or above the positive level for celiac disease--and you are above that level. According to the latest research, if the blood test results are at certain high levels that range between 5-10 times the reference range for a positive celiac disease diagnosis, it may not be necessary to confirm the results using an endoscopy/biopsy: Blood Test Alone Can Diagnose Celiac Disease in Most Children and Adults TGA-IgA at or Above Five Times Normal Limit in Kids Indicates Celiac Disease in Nearly All Cases No More Biopsies to Diagnose Celiac Disease in Children! May I ask why you've had so many past tTg-IgA tests done, and many of them seem to have been done 3 times during short time intervals?
