I like all the ones I've tried, but I had the Banana Cookie for the first time the other day--it was fantastic!

I think all of the flavors taste great, but they make me sick too. So no more Lara Bars for me :(

I liked most of them, but I ate them so much I got quite tired of them!!! The only one I didn't care for at all was the one with ginger in it... icky poo

:lol: Nini--I really liked the ginger ones!! And the banana cookie ones--but I found I react to them--but it's the dried fruit, not gluten. From a gluten standpoint, they are safe.

Hi jesscarmel,

Like Patti, I react to the dried fruit and the nuts in them. They are free of gluten so buy away a box :)

I had heard people rave and rave and rave about this cherry pie lara bar. I bought one. I don't get all the hype. I didn't think it had much flavor and I wasn't that impressed. Not to mention they are SO small! I would buy it if there wasn't anything else around, but it isn't something that I would keep on hand.

I like the apple lara bars.

I don't eat them for flavor, I eat them because they are gluten free and give me some energy (and fiber)

I haven't tried these flavors yet but I saw there are now Chocolate Coffe, Chocolate Mint and a third (can't remember that one) - they are ecalled Maya, but they are Lara Bars. The Chocolate Coffee one (in front of me as we speak) has: Organic Dates, Organic Hazelnuts, Organic Walnuts, Organic Cocoa, Organic Cacao Nibs, and Organic Coffee in it. I'd rip it open but I just had some Snappea Crisps and my stomach is unhappy - it looks like they have corn oil in them now and I don't tolerate corn... :( I'll let you know how this is when I try it!

I LOVE the Maya bars!!!!! My daughter, Chloe, who you occasionally see on this board, hates them. She tried the chocolate mint. She LOVES Lara bars though. At least I won't have to worry about the Maya bars disappearing until my gluten-free 18 year old gets back over here next week.

The Mayan Chocolate one is really good, I like the flavor combination of the chocolate and cinnamon.

I just realized I didn't know what in the world I was talking about :lol:

I couldn't remember the name of the flavor of Lara Bar that has chocolate and cinnamon in it, I thought it was "Mayan" Chocolate so I thought that is what you were referring to Carla. I was at the store today and gave it another look, the flavor is called Cocoa Mole, or something like that, this is the one I love.

I saw the Maya chocolate bars there too, they are new to my store.

Are cocao nibs, in the Maya Bars, the same, or similar, to coffee beans? I'm confused about this.

      Celiac Disease and Skin Disorders: Exploring a Genetic Connection

      Maybe they can attribute certain skin conditions to either being susceptible to getting Celiac......or the other way around....but I have to ask if certain people are prone to Celiac because of genetics and some people aren't. It's kind of the same thing as what came first.....the chicken or the egg.?

      @xxnonamexx, There's labeling on those Trubar gluten free high fiber protein bars that say: "Manufactured in a facility that also processes peanuts, milk, soy, fish, WHEAT, sesame, and other tree nuts." You may want to avoid products made in shared facilities. If you are trying to add more fiber to your diet to ease constipation, considering...

      Welcome to celiac.com @sha1091a! Your experience is a very common one. Celiac disease is one the most underdiagnosed and misdiagnosed medical conditions out there. The reasons are numerous. One key one is that its symptoms mimic so many other diseases. Another is ignorance on the part of the medical community with regard to the range of symptoms that celiac...

      I agree, it so often overlooked! I live in the UK and I have often wondered why doctors are so reluctant to at least exclude it - my thoughts are perhaps the particular tests are expensive for the NHS, so therefore saved for people with 'obvious' symptoms.  I was diagnosed in 2013 and was told immediately that my parents, sibling and children should be checked.  My parents' GP to this day has not put forward my father for testing, and my mother was never tested in her lifetime, despite the fact that they both have some interesting symptoms/family history that reflect they might have coeliac disease (Dad - extreme bloating, and his Mum clearly had autoimmune issues, albeit undiagnosed as such; Mum - osteoporosis, anxiety).  I am now my father' legal guardian and suspecting my parents may have forgotten to ask their GP for a test (which is entirely possible!) I put it to his last GP that he ought to be tested.  He looked at Dad's blood results and purely because he was not anemic said he wasn't a coeliac.  Hopefully as the awareness of Coeliac Disease spreads among the general public, people will be able to advocate for themselves.  It is hard because in the UK the NHS is very stretched, but the fallout from not being diagnosed in a timely fashion will only cost the NHS more money. Interestingly, a complete aside, I met someone recently whose son was diagnosed (I think she said he was 8).  At a recent birthday party with 8 guests, 4 boys out of the 8 had received diagnosis of Coeliac Disease, which is an astounding statistic  As far as I know, though, they had all had obvious gastric symptoms leading to their NHS diagnosis.  In my own case I had  acute onset anxiety, hypnopompic hallucinations (vivid hallucinations upon waking),  odd liver function, anxiety, headaches, ulcers and low iron but it wasn't until the gastric symptoms hit me that a GP thought to do coeliac testing, and my numbers were through the roof.  As @trents says, by the grace of God I was diagnosed, and the diet has pretty much dealt with most of those symptoms.  I have much to be grateful for.

You may want to avoid products made in shared facilities.   If you are trying to add more fiber to your diet to ease constipation, considering eating more leafy green vegetables and cruciferous vegetables.  Not only are these high in fiber, they also are good sources of magnesium.  Many newly diagnosed are low in magnesium and B vitamins and suffer with constipation.  Thiamine Vitamin B1 and magnesium work together.  Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine has been shown to improve intestinal health.  Thiamine and magnesium are important to gastrointestinal health and function.

      Welcome to celiac.com @sha1091a! Your experience is a very common one. Celiac disease is one the most underdiagnosed and misdiagnosed medical conditions out there. The reasons are numerous. One key one is that its symptoms mimic so many other diseases. Another is ignorance on the part of the medical community with regard to the range of symptoms that celiac disease can produce. Clinicians often are only looking for classic GI symptoms and are unaware of the many other subsystems in the body that can be damaged before classic GI symptoms manifest, if ever they do. Many celiacs are of the "silent" variety and have few if any GI symptoms while all along, damage is being done to their bodies. In my case, the original symptoms were elevated liver enzymes which I endured for 13 years before I was diagnosed with celiac disease. By the grace of God my liver was not destroyed. It is common for the onset of the disease to happen 10 years before you ever get a diagnosis. Thankfully, that is slowly changing as there has developed more awareness on the part of both the medical community and the public in the past 20 years or so. Blessings!

      Dizziness after eating green beans?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @EndlessSummer, You said you had an allergy to trees.  People with Birch Allergy can react to green beans (in the legume family) and other vegetables, as well as some fruits.  Look into Oral Allergy Syndrome which can occur at a higher rate in Celiac Disease.   Switching to a low histamine diet for a while can give your body time to rid itself of the extra histamine the body makes with Celiac disease and histamine consumed in the diet.   Vitamin C and the eight B vitamins are needed to help the body clear histamine.   Have you been checked for nutritional deficiencies?
