Hi guys,

Sorry if this has already been posted (i have been very MIA lately b/c i was studying for the bar and now just started my new job), but i was at Costco today and they now sell Lara Bars there! Thats the first time i have ever seen a gluten-free product there, so i just had to share!

Oooohhhh,

My mom is thinking of joining again. I might just have to have her buy some. Not worth it for me to join.

I saw them too! I think it was a pack of 3 flavors...I only remember one: Cherry Pie (I remember because I was so excited as it's my favorite!)

There are three flavors in their variety pack- chocolate coconut chew, apple pie and cherry pie. My mom (non-celiac) tried the apple pie one today and LOVED it- and she is very picky about bars b/c she doesnt like sweet things. I think they are good, but i have to say my absolute favorite is Clif Nectar bars-- i love those. But still, its totally exciting to find a gluten free bar at Costco!

I didn't think Larabars were gluten-free... hmmmm they used to be one of my favorite snacks... (admitedly I haven't checked them, I just assumed something THAT GOOD couldn't be gluten-free! LOL!)

NEVERMIND!!!! LOL!!!! I was thinking of something else... Of course Larabars are gluten-free... DUH!!!!! (can you tell I'm not awake yet this morning???)

I'm going to have to look for them this week. I love Lara bars (and so do the kids). I keep a couple in the diaper bag just in case someone gets hungry. I keep telling my mom that I want to try to buy them by the box....now I can ;)

They bother my stomach, for some reason, but I loved the Banana Cookie and the Pecan Pie flavors. The Ginger one is very good, also. :)

Did I just get a bad batch? I tried the chocolate coconut chew, and I thought it was horrible. Really. It had this very strong metallic/alcohol flavor. Not sure where that came from. I checked the ingredients, and couldn't find anything to explain that. I tried a bite from 2 different bars ( I had bought a bunch) and threw the rest out. I was very disappointed. :(

As far as I can tell, though, Tiger's Milk bars are gluten-free--and they are yummy and delicious!

      Guinness, can you drink it?

      Hey @Butch68, I also have dermatitis herpetiformis but don't suffer from it anymore. I used to drink Guinness too but I drink Cider now when out on social occasions.

      Guinness, can you drink it?

      This is a very common question, and the most important thing to know is that no, Guinness is not considered safe for individuals with coeliac disease. While it's fascinating to hear anecdotes from other coeliacs who can drink it without immediate issues, this is a risky exception rather than the rule. The core issue is that Guinness is brewed from barley...

      Gluten Issues and Vitamin D

      Interestingly, this thought occurred to me last night. I did find that there are studies investigating whether vitamin D deficiency can actually trigger celiac disease. Source: National Institutes of Health https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7231074/

      Guinness, can you drink it?

      Before being diagnosed coeliac I used to love Guinness. Being made from barley it should be something a coeliac shouldn’t drink. But taking to another coeliac and they can drink it with no ill effects and have heard of others who can drink it too. is this everyone’s experience? Can I drink it?

I'm not sure if they are certified though. https://www.9whitedeer.ie/ I haven't come across any certified gluten-free stouts this side of the pond.

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      This is a very common question, and the most important thing to know is that no, Guinness is not considered safe for individuals with coeliac disease. While it's fascinating to hear anecdotes from other coeliacs who can drink it without immediate issues, this is a risky exception rather than the rule. The core issue is that Guinness is brewed from barley, which contains gluten, and the standard brewing process does not remove the gluten protein to a level safe for coeliacs (below 20ppm). For someone like you who experiences dermatitis herpetiformis, the reaction is particularly significant. DH is triggered by gluten ingestion, even without immediate gastrointestinal symptoms. So, while you may not feel an instant stomach upset, drinking a gluten-containing beer like Guinness could very well provoke a flare-up of your skin condition days later. It would be a gamble with a potentially uncomfortable and long-lasting consequence. Fortunately, there are excellent, certified gluten-free stouts available now that can provide a safe and satisfying alternative without the risk.

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By trents · Posted

      NCGS does not cause damage to the small bowel villi so, if indeed you were not skimping on gluten when you had the antibody blood testing done, it is likely you have celiac disease.
