I was looking at the Luna Bars, specifically the Nutz over chocolate, Looks OK to me. It says on the package "we source ingrediants which do not contain wheat, dairy and are not genetically engineered." But are they gluten free?

wheat free does not equal gluten free. many flavors of luna bars have malt, and all have oats.

No, they have oats and malt.

You can have Clif Nectar Bars and Bumblebars. Bumblebars chocolate is VERY good.

I buy mine individually at Whole Foods Market. I've seen them in other health food stores two and somewhere else recently that surprised me. I don't blame you for not wanting to buy a whole case...not everyone likes the same things.

I like the clif nectar bars too, not as much as bumble bars, but I like them. They're a different texture from the luna bars I remember (course, it's been years since I've had a luna bar too)...more chewy and moister...they don't have all the oats to stiffen them up, lol. Of course I like the chocolate the best. :P

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I looked at a package of ZonePerfect bars, and I swear I couldn't find any gluten in them, no malt, no oats, no wheat starch...could it be true?

Hum, I'll have to look at those. I also like a bar I get from my doctor's office...it's especially designed to not raise blood sugars and stuff...can't ever remember the name though. :(

I recently called Zone, and they do say that a number of their bars do not contain ingredients containing gluten, including the new forumalation of the caramel crunch and the fudge graham. You can call them for a list. They also said that they did not hide gluten in ingredients such as "natural flavors." They are made in a facility which also processes bars with gluten.

I love chocolate Bumble bars, but they aren't usually found in regular stores. I order them by the case, or get them in the health food store.

      Isolated DPG-Iga

      By trents · Posted

      From the article I linked above: DGP-IgA and DGP-IgG (Deamidated Gliadin Peptide) Blood Tests for Celiac Disease These tests measure the levels of antibodies in the blood, but specifically targets deamidated gliadin peptides, which are a type of gluten protein that can trigger an immune response in people with celiac disease. The test is not always included in adults, but should be in cases with IgA deficiency.  I'm not sure if this is a grammatical error or not but in the context, two tests are being spoken of together so it could be intended to say, "These tests". I'll ask Scott about that.

      No they did not run a total IGA. But wouldn’t the DPG-IGA also be negative also if I was IGA deficient? They did also run a TTG-IGG and a DPG-IGG and they were also negative.

      The DGP-IGA is valuable when celiac is suspected but the person being tested is IGA deficient. Were you tested for IGA deficiency. In other words, was there a test known as "Total IGA" ordered? Here is an overview of the various blood tests that can be run when diagnosing celiac disease:

      Has anyone ever negative blood work except for the DPG-IGA? Mine was 42 (reference range negative is >20. The TTG iga was negative. I have always suffered from bad gas issues and lately have been having bouts of diarrhea and constipation. I also have a bumpy rash that comes and goes below both elbows. i have an endoscopy scheduled in May but I was just wondering if anyone else had bloodwork like this and what was the end result?
