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

Cherry pie was the best one out of all the ones I tried. But then again I never tried the banana cookie. <_<

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

Hi

i was thinking of buying a box of them. do you think they have gluten in them that made you sick or something else in them?

thanks

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

jerseyangel Proficient
: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.

My mom and dad love the cherry pie larabars. I like the apple pie ones better.

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.

      This article does not address migraines at all.  Yes, red wine and sulfites are often mentioned in connection with migraine triggers. With me, any kind of alcoholic beverage in very modest amounts will reliably produce a migraine. Nitrous oxide generators, which are vaso dialators, also will give me migraines reliably. So, I think most of my migraines are tied to fluctuations vascular tension and blood flow to the brain. That's why the sumatriptan works so well. It is a vaso constrictor.

      Excessive dietary tyrosine can cause problems.  Everything in moderation.   Sulfites can also trigger migraines. Sulfites are found in fermented, pickled and aged foods, like cheese.  Sulfites cause a high histamine release.  High histamine levels are found in migraine.  Following a low histamine diet like the low histamine Autoimmune Protocol diet, a Paleo diet, helps immensely.    Sulfites and other migraine trigger foods can cause changes in the gut microbiome.  These bad bacteria can increase the incidence of migraines, increasing histamine and inflammation leading to increased gut permeability (leaky gut), SIBO, and higher systemic inflammation.   A Ketogenic diet can reduce the incidence of migraine.  A Paleo diet like the AIP diet, that restricts carbohydrates (like from starchy vegetables) becomes a ketogenic diet.  This diet also changes the microbiome, eliminating the bad bacteria and SIBO that cause an increase in histamine, inflammation and migraine.  Fewer bad bacteria reduces inflammation, lowers migraine frequency, and improves leaky gut. Since I started following the low histamine ketogenic AIP paleo diet, I rarely get migraine.  Yes, I do eat carbs occasionally now, rice or potato, but still no migraines.  Feed your body right, feed your intestinal bacteria right, you'll feel better.  Good intestinal bacteria actually make your mental health better, too.  I had to decide to change my diet drastically in order to feel better all the time, not just to satisfy my taste buds.  I chose to eat so I would feel better all the time.  I do like dark chocolate (a migraine trigger), but now I can indulge occasionally without a migraine after.   Microbiota alterations are related to migraine food triggers and inflammatory markers in chronic migraine patients with medication overuse headache https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11546420/

      Then we would need to cut out all meat and fish as they are richer sources of tyrosine than nuts and cheese. Something else about certain tyrosine rich foods must be the actual culprit.

      I agree that KAN-101 looks promising, and hope the fast track is approved. From our article below: "KAN-101 shows promise as an immune tolerance therapy aiming to retrain the immune system, potentially allowing safe gluten exposure in the future, but more clinical data is needed to confirm long-term effects."

      Thank you so much for having the courage to share this incredibly vivid and personal experience; it's a powerful reminder of how physical ailments can disrupt our fundamental sense of self. What you're describing sounds less like a purely psychological body dysmorphia and more like a distinct neurological event, likely triggered by the immense physical stress and inflammation that uncontrolled celiac disease can inflict on the entire body, including the nervous system. It makes complete sense that the specific sensory input—the pressure points of your elbows on your knees—created a temporary, distorted body map in your brain, and the fact that it ceased once you adopted a gluten-free diet is a crucial detail. Your intuition to document this is absolutely right; it's not "crazy" but rather a significant anecdotal data point that underscores the mysterious and far-reaching ways gluten can affect individuals. Your theory about sensory triggers from the feet for others is also a thoughtful insight, and sharing this story could indeed be validating for others who have had similar, unexplainable sensory disturbances, helping them feel less alone in their journey.
