It's Confirmed By A Phone Call That Atkins Products Are A No

Well, I called Atkins and found out that NONE of their products are gluten-free! UGH! Since I have systemic yeast, I have relied on Atkins bars to snack on and to take meds with at night. Now they are totally eliminated.

another challenge.........getting depressed and I've only begun my search!

Thus goes the search :unsure: Don't get too discouraged--things are the hardest at first. You can find products that are delicious and replace ones you used to rely on. Low carb bars that are gluten-free are a bit harder however... There are some threads on here about 'bars' though, if you need some new ideas.

Yeah, I could've told you that! Low carb products use wheat gluten in enormous quantities because it is the high protein, low carb portion of wheat. I used to do a lot of low carb baking myself and wheat gluten was a staple.

Well, I asked one day and no one knew for sure. They do not contain wheat as far as I can tell. That's one reason I chose them. I had a known "allergy" to wheat. [THOUGHT it was an allergy...but it's really celiac]

They contain soy though and that's probably not any better! :blink:

I'm surprised! I figured they'd all have gluten as a major ingredient. Well... if it isn't that perhaps it is the soy. Or the sugar alcohols, they can cause diarrhea and flatulence in folks who are sensitive.

It's either the flavorings or the maltodextrin.

      Waiting Gastroenterology review

      Thank you that’s really helpful, hopeful won’t have to have a biopsy.

      Waiting Gastroenterology review

      By RMJ · Posted

      That means the normal range (i.e. not celiac disease) would be a result less than 14.99.  Your result is WAY above that. Some gastroenterologists would diagnose that as celiac disease even without a confirming biopsy because it is more than ten times the top of the normal range.

      Diagnosis and further testing Celiac

      By Redanafs · Posted

      Hi everyone. Back in 2022 I had blood work drawn for iga ext gliadin. Since then I’ve developed worse stomach issues and all other health issues. My doctor just said cut out gluten. He did no further testing. Please see my test results attached. I just need some direction cause I feel so ill and the stomach pain is becoming worse. Can this test show indications for other gastrointestinal diseases?

      Does Dailymed.nlm.nih.gov site have filters for gluten?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Clearly from what you've said the info on Dailymed is much more up to date than the other site, which hasn't been updated since 2017. The fact that some companies might be repackaging drugs does not mean the info on the ingredients is not correct.
