Gluten And Dairy Free Power Bars

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?

I second the Go Raw recommendation. Best stuff ever....

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.

      Thanks much Scott.  Well said, and heeded.   I don't have Celiac, which is fortunate.

      Do you have the results of your endoscopy? Did you do a celiac disease blood panel before that?  Here is more info about how to do a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood panel, or for an endoscopy: and this recent study recommends 4-6 slices of wheat bread per day:

      It is odd that your Tissue Transglutaminase (TTG) IgA level has bounced from the "inconclusive" range (7.9, 9.8) down to a negative level (5.3), only to climb back up near the positive threshold. This inconsistency, coupled with your ongoing symptoms of malabsorption and specific nutrient deficiencies, is a strong clinical indicator that warrants a more thorough investigation than a simple "satisfactory" sign-off. A negative blood test does not definitively rule out celiac disease, especially with such variable numbers and a classic symptomatic picture. You are absolutely right to seek a second opinion and push for a referral to a gastroenterologist. A biopsy remains the gold standard for a reason, and advocating for one is the most direct path to getting the answers you need to finally address the root cause of your suffering.

      There is a distinction between gluten itself and the other chemicals and processing methods involved in modern food production. Your experience in Italy and Greece, contrasted with your reactions in the U.S., provides powerful anecdotal evidence that the problem, for some people, may not be the wheat, but the additives like potassium bromate and the industrial processing it undergoes here. The point about bromines displacing iodine and disrupting thyroid function is a significant one, explaining a potential biological mechanism for why such additives could cause systemic health issues that mimic gluten sensitivity. It's both alarming and insightful to consider that the very "watchdog" agencies meant to protect us are allowing practices banned in many other developed countries. Seeking out European flour and your caution about the high-carb, potentially diabeticgenic nature of many gluten-free products are excellent practical takeaways from your research, but I just want to mention--if you have celiac disease you need to avoid all wheat, including all wheat and gluten in Europe.

      @Scott Adams That's actually exactly what I ended up asking for— vodka tonic with Titos.  I saw on their website that Tito's is certified gluten-free (maybe many of the clear vodkas are, I don't know, I just happened to look up Tito's in advance). I should have actually specified the 'splash' though, because I think with the amount of tonic she put in there, it did still end up fairly sweet.  Anyway, I think I've almost got this drink order down!
