Does anyone know of any gluten and dairy free power bars that are very high in protein. Ive tried all the lara bars and the raw bars but they are too high in sugar and not high enough in protein.

Any suggestions?

Have you tried Alpsnack bars? The do contain dried fruit, but are mostly hemp nuts. I don't know they would contain enough protein for you but they might...

ALPSNACK energy bars contain hemp nut, an ancient food source that supplies high amounts of the two essential fatty acids (EFAs) omega-3 and omega-6 in perfect balance, as well as all essential amino acids with a high protein efficiency ratio

Organic Food Bar, 12g-14g organic protein listed on the two flavors I have in hand.

The Active Green flavor is a little lacking on yummy factor, but the others are good.

Please try a KIND bar from Australia. They are mostly nuts (almonds, peanuts, brazil nuts) with some dried fruit and dried fruit paste. Some have shredded coconut and there is one with chocolate and sesame seeds. They have a good protein content, are both dairy and gluten free, and have low GI values. The best part is they taste like a candy bar to me! I can get them at Whole Foods and Central Market, as well as some of the local HEB stores (I live in Austin, Texas).

I bought a KIND bar once. It turned out to be wheat-free but not gluten-free. I gave it to my friend and she said it was awesome :) Maybe they have gluten-free versions now?

Why do you need so much protein? Just curious.

So as not to exacerbate my hypoglycemia, I also look for these. I generally end up going for ones that are made from hemp and/or flax seeds. Bumble bars work well also, as do Alpsnack. (For the most part, you're not going to get higher protein without higher fat, but fat isn't evil. :) )

The KIND bars I have had are clearly labeled "gluten free" on the front of the package - and they are delish! If you get the chance, give them another try.

The KIND bars do label the gluten-free ones. Some aren't I believe, but they are clear about which ones are. I love them!

I also like the Bumble Bars as they are more protein, and help w/ my hypoglycemia. The chocolate and almond ones are the best IMO.

But sometimes, I sure do miss those triple threat power bars...

I get really hungry with hypoglycemic episodes that I feel protein controls. If I eat anything too sweet or too high in carbs and not enough protein my blood sugar get erratic. I guess Im gona have to just stick to nuts for the protein. I cant do soy or dairy.

Go Raw bars, Alpsnack bars and some versions of Bumble are gluten, dairy and soy-free.

      Yes, I, too, have osteoporosis from years of malabsorption, too.  Thiamine and magnesium are what keep the calcium in place in the bones.  If one is low in magnesium, boron, selenium, zinc, copper, and other trace minerals, ones bone heath can suffer.  We need more than just calcium and Vitamin D for strong bones.  Riboflavin B 2, Folate B 9 and Pyridoxine B 6 also contribute to bone formation and strength.   Have you had your thyroid checked?  The thyroid is important to bone health as well.  The thyroid uses lots of thiamine, so a poorly functioning thyroid will affect bone heath.

      That sounds so very likely in my case! I will absolutely ask my doctor on my next bone check coming up in March... Thanks a lot!

      Calcium levels as measured in the blood can be quite deceiving as the body will rob calcium from the bones to meet demands for it by other bodily functions. Also, supplementing with calcium can be counterproductive as it tends to raise gut pH and decrease absorption. More often than not, the problem is poor absorption to begin with rather than deficiency of intake amounts in the diet. Calcium needs an acidic environment to be absorbed. This is why so many people on PPIs develop osteoporosis. The PPIs raise gut pH. And some people have high gut PH for other reasons. Low pH equates to a more acidic environment whereas high pH equates to a more basic (less acidic) environment.

      Kind thanks for all this valuable information! Since my Folate was/is low and also my Calcium, there IS a chance I am low in B vitamins... My doctor only measured the first two, oh and Zinc as I has twisted her arm and guess what, that was mega low too. So who knows, until I get myself tested properly, what else I am deficient in... I did a hair mineral test recently and it said to avoid All sources of Calcium. But this is confusing for me as my Ca is so low and I have osteoporosis because of this. It is my Adjusted Ca that is on the higher side and shouldn't be. So am not sure why the mineral test showed high Ca (well, it was medium in the test but relative to my lowish Magnesium, also via hair sample, it was high I was told). But anyway, thanks again for the VitB download, I will look into this most certainly!

      Allergy medication: cetirizine by the HealthA2Z is it gluten free?

      By ElisaAllergiesgluten · Posted

      Hello good afternoon, I was wondering if anyone has ever brought their anti-allergy pills? I have been wanting to use their Cetirizine HCI 10mg. They are called HealthA2Z and distributed by Allegiant Health.I’m also Asthmatic and these allergies are terrible for me but I also want to be sure they don’t have any sort of gluten compound.    I have tried calling them but to no avail. Has anyone ever used them? If so, did you had any problems or no problems at all?    thank you
