Oops, I Ate A Cliff Bar Today Thinking They Are Gluten Free!

I am sooo upset right now! I should have known better then to assume no wheat ingredients means gluten free. As I read the ingredients it said organic rolled oats and malt extract. I've also had the lemon Luna bar in the last few days and am wondering now if that was a mistake also. Live and learn and get sick I guess.

Well, let's just hope the rolled oats weren't contaminated, and the malt extract was from corn, not barley. ;) Seriously, don't assume you'll be glutened, think positive, but avoid those bars from now on. You live and learn, it takes a while to figure it all out.

Next time, try a Cliff Nectar Bar--they are gluten-free :)

I find it confusing too, I almost bought some wheat-free cookies today and then at the last minute remembered to read the label and saw they were not gluten free.

I think Ursula makes a good point, be optimistic.

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but the regular Clif bars are NOT gluten-free. Clif Nectar bars, however, are.

Well, atleast I can have the nectar bars :)

My symptoms so far have been mild. So hopefully this won't be too painful of a lesson. Does my count for gluten free days start all over now?

      What foods can trigger a response in people with gluten sensitivity?

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @yellowstone! The most common ones seem to be dairy (casein), oats, eggs, soy and corn. "Formed" meat products (because of the "meat glue" used to hold their shape) is a problem for some. But it can be almost anything on an individual basis as your sensitivity to rice proves, since rice is uncommonly a "cross reactor" for celiacs. Some celiacs seem to not do well with any cereal grains.

      What foods can trigger a response in people with gluten sensitivity? I've read that there are foods that, although they don't contain gluten, can cause problems for people with gluten sensitivity because they contain proteins similar to gluten that trigger a response in the body. I've seen that other cereals are included: corn, rice... also chicken, casein. I would like to know what other foods can cause this reaction, and if you have more information on the subject, I would like to know about it. Right now, I react very badly to rice and corn. Thank you.
