Alpen Snack Bars

Several months ago I came upon a website that had gluten free bars. The name was alpensnack or something like that. The bars were made with nuts and dried fruit and were quite tasty. Now that I want to get some more, I cannot come up with the website. Is there anyone out there who know what I am referring to? HELP. Please e-mail me if you know anything about this product. anne@clay-play.com

Hi Anne,

I think you are talking about Alpsnacks. They are great. I buy them by the dozen at Gluten Solutions. I haven't found them anywhere else, but I'm sure other places sell them. You can find them at the following link:

What an awesome site Mariann. Thanks, I have put it in my favorites. Have you tried any of their mixes?

gf4life Enthusiast

I've tried some of their mixes. This is where I get the Really Great Foods Chocolate Cake mix that I've raved about before. It is awesome! I also get their Gluten Solutions label Chocolate Mint Protein bars. They are great and we always take some of these with us when we leave the house, so we have something easy to eat if we can't find something safe right away. My kids love em.

God bless,

Mariann

Wonderful to know. Except the mint that is (hate mintlOL). After I get over being sick (what a morning I won't bore anyone) I will think about placing an order. I need to figure out what other foods I'm having problems with. How long does it take for an order to get to you? I did order a paper catalog. We are going to Oregon in a week to visit relatives. I've been trying to figure out what to do for food for me since I will probably be fending for myself. I doubt I could get an order from them that fast. Thanks much.

Carol,

They try to ship the same day, the next day if you place the order at night, but it still takes about a week to get your order. I placed my order on the 1st and it is expected to get to me on the 9th. So you probably don't have time to get the shipment sent to your home, but you could have it sent to the address in Oregon where you will be visiting and then you would have food there to eat.

God bless,

Mariann

Thanks much. We will be in several different places so I think I'll skip. Won't have much money till payday anyways which is the Friday comming before we leave. Just for information, I have been really researching this SCD diet the last couple of days. I'm really seriously considering trying it after the book gets here and I read on it. Now that I know for sure that food has been making me sick I have more will power to do what it takes to get well.

      My 5yo was diagnosed with celiac last year by being tested after his sister was diagnosed. We are very strict on the gluten-free diet, but unsure what his reactions are as he was diagnosed without many symptoms other than low ferritin.  He had a school party where his teacher made gluten-free gingerbread men. I almost said no because she made it in her kitchen but I thought it would be ok.  Next day and for a few after his behavior is awful. Hitting, rude, disrespectful. Mainly he kept saying his legs were shaking. Is this a gluten exposure symptom that anyone else gets? Also the bad behavior?

      Not necessarily. The "Gluten Free" label means not more than 20ppm of gluten in the product which is often not enough for super sensitive celiacs. You would need to be looking for "Certified Gluten Free" (GFCO endorsed) which means no more than 10ppm of gluten. Having said that, "Gluten Free" doesn't mean that there will necessarily be more gluten than "Certified Gluten" in any given batch run. It just means there could be.

      I think it is wise to seek a second opinion from a GI doc and to go on a gluten free diet in the meantime. The GI doc may look at all the evidence, including the biopsy report, and conclude you don't need anything else to reach a dx of celiac disease and so, there would be no need for a gluten challenge. But if the GI doc does want to do more testing, you can worry about the gluten challenge at that time. But between now and the time of the appointment, if your symptoms improve on a gluten free diet, that is more evidence. Just keep in mind that if a gluten challenge is called for, the bare minimum challenge length is two weeks of the daily consumption of at least 10g of gluten, which is about the amount found in 4-6 slices of wheat bread. But, I would count on giving it four weeks to be sure.

      Are Bobresmill gluten free oats ok for sensitive celiacs?
    • jenniber
      thank you both for the insights. i agree, im going to back off on dairy and try sucraid. thanks for the tip about protein powder, i will look for whey protein powder/drinks!   i don’t understand why my doctor refused to order it either. so i’ve decided i’m not going to her again, and i’m going to get a second opinion with a GI recommended to me by someone with celiac. unfortunately my first appointment isn’t until February 17th. do you think i should go gluten free now or wait until after i meet with the new doctor? i’m torn about what i should do, i dont know if she is going to want to repeat the endoscopy, and i know ill have to be eating gluten to have a positive biopsy. i could always do the gluten challenge on the other hand if she does want to repeat the biopsy.    thanks again, i appreciate the support here. i’ve learned a lot from these boards. i dont know anyone in real life with celiac.
