Those sound VERY good. I miss having granola bars. Thanks for the tip! Do you think they are sold in regular stores (I am not a sam club member)?

I used to eat Nature Valley Granola Bars from B.J.'s Club all the time. I wonder if they carry them?

The price is nice, too! Thanks for posting.

Is there a Sam's Club near you?

I find that their prices are SO much better than our local grocery store, I save ton of $ just buying fish, chicken, ground turkey, produce, canned salmon, even kitty litter at Sam's Club rather than the grocery store.

I added it up when I first joined: I saved the price of membership (I think it's $45 for the year?) by the second time I shopped there. It's also a good place to buy electronics and kitchen stuff (frying pans, restaurant-style plastic glassware, etc). And gas is always 2-3 cents/gallon cheaper there, too.

I actually prefer Costco, but unfortunately, they are 10 miles further away.

NOw, if we could just get them to start carrying Kinnikinnick products....

We have a Sam's very close (and a Costco, too). We tried the membership thing once and we never could leave there without spending $500 :blink::blink:

I'd love to be able to buy a whole bunch of meat and freeze and not have to buy so much each week at the store.

I'm just curious - I went out to the Nature Valley website and could not find these granola bars? The only nut granola bars that they have contain oats and none have such a simplified ingredient list. Are they specially made for Sam's Club?

Follow-up -- I found them elsewhere and they seem to be just nuts held together by a sugary syrup. They should be tasty - I've tried gluten-free variations like this from other manufacturers. I'm not sure why Nature Valley doesn't have them on their website. Hmmmm....

I have noticed, especially with General Mills products (of which Nature Valley is one) if it is a newer product or not available everywhere, it isn't always on the Web site. I ran into the same thing with the Dora the Explorer Cinnamon Stars cereal. It isn't on the Web site. I checked the Nature Valley site yesterday and didn't find it either. But, if you Google "Nature Valley Roasted Nut Crunch" you'll get some consumer product reviews.

I found these at wal-mart last night. They are sold in smaller boxes there (which is good because you can try them without a huge box to eat if you do NOT like them ha). They are not bad. I wish they were a little less hard (the syrup they used to hold the nuts together turns into a hard hard glue)ha A good snack to keep in your purse for times when you are starving and food is nowhere in sight.

Just a warning....they have two bars with just nuts (both appear to be gluten-free) and 2 bars with fruit and other things in them as well as the nuts.....the other two are NOT gluten-free. They have crispy rice which has barley malt. Just a heads up incase you just read the allergy warning because the barley is not listed in the allergy warning. :)

I picked some up a few weeks ago and these are YUMMMY!!!

I like the almond one best as does my daughter, but hubby likes the peanut kind. I really like this as an alternative to the Environkidz bars. There's only a few ingredients...only the nuts, sunflower seeds, salt, corn syrup, and sugar.

Not overly healthy, but a lot better than some of the alternatives.

The trick with this snack is making sure you get the NUT CRUNCH which has no gluten ingredients and not mistaking it for the "Sweet and Salty" which does contain gluten.

This is a great addition to the gluten-free diet for those who can tolerate nuts and corn syrup!

      Has someone experienced discrimination because of their illness?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      No, @yellowstone, you are not alone.  I've experienced such treatment throughout my life.   Some people have the herd mentality, much like cattle, where the sick or lame are pushed to the fringes of the herd where wolves can pick them off easily, thus ensuring the health of the rest of the herd.   Some people fear what they don't understand.  They choose ignorance.  Rudeness, contempt, hostility, and belittling are all behaviors meant to ostracize and control others.  If you and your needs can be minimized or dismissed altogether, then they don't have to take on the responsibility of helping.  Some are just mean and petty.  They are so small, fearful, and insecure within themselves, they find some twisted satisfaction in putting you down so they can feel better about themselves.    People can't give what they don't have.  They have not developed the internal strengths, courage, and compassion required to help another person.  Some are fearful of losing what little they do have if they attempt to help.  Much like a drowning man may endanger a rescuer trying to pull them to shore, many choose to swim away instead of helping because they know they are not good enough swimmers.  Many don't take the time to practice swimming, or giving of their heart.  Many feel awkward and clumsy in their misguided helpful attempts, so they give up trying at all.   Other diseases have been "glamorized" to some degree.  Famous people have raised awareness of various diseases, resulting in greater social acceptance and monetary support, but this is superficial.  The daily struggles are left unexamined behind a curtain of privacy.   The crucible of Celiac Disease not only refines us and makes us stronger, it purges our lives of people who don't have the mettle required to positively contribute to and be included in our lives.  Let them go.  Their leaving will make room for more constructive relationships with people who are more enlightened and capable.  You've found your tribe here.  Be encouraged! Take care of yourself.  Taking a B Complex, like Life Extension's Bioactive B Complex, is beneficial in boosting the absorption and utilization of these essential life sustaining vitamins.  Benfotiamine helps heal the intestines along with Vitamin A, Theanine, and Tryptophan.  Thiamine TTFD helps immensely with the neurological symptoms along with Neuromag, a form of magnesium that helps the brain function.  Vitamin D helps regulate the immune system and supports the thyroid and bone health.  https://www.lifeextension.com/vitamins-supplements/item01945/bioactive-complete-b-complex?srsltid=AfmBOoqCnzmSXIlbatQqayiGmhTJUFm-XVjOeIMcjAmJJ7mqWWpBbnUc

      Has someone experienced discrimination because of their illness?

      By yellowstone · Posted

      My celiac symptoms are extra-digestive; if I had to classify them, I’d say they are predominantly neurological: extreme fatigue that prevents me from making physical or intellectual effort, brain fog, difficulty concentrating, clumsy movements, pain… When I’m at my worst, I notice that some people behave hostilely toward me: they speak to me rudely, become authoritarian, belittle me, look at me and treat me with contempt… This made me question many aspects of my life and how others perceived me: What was it about me that seemed to bother others so much? What could I do to fix it? Paying closer attention, when I was sicker, others saw me as cold, distant, as not talking too much, less engaged, apathetic, sad… All of this, far from being intentional, was just how my symptoms—and my attempt to cope with them—manifested to others. But objectively, was my behavior harmful or detrimental to anyone? Did I deserve the treatment some people were giving me? No, my behavior doesn’t harm anyone, and if someone feels uncomfortable, the solution would be to walk away, not to treat me like s$#&. And here are the unanswered questions: What leads a person to interpret illness symptoms as something offensive? What kind of issues do these people have? How are people with degenerative or other types of illnesses who are in a situation of dependency treated? Am I the only one these things happen to?

      Shaking/Tremors and Off Balance

      I was wondering if your shakes and off balance went away after stopping gluten?

      Unsteady in my new diagnosis

      By drjay · Posted

      Thanks, yall! The tough part now is figuring out if I’m actually feeling better or is it some form of placebo effect. I do actually feel better but I’m not positive if I may just be gaslighting myself lol

      Unsteady in my new diagnosis

      By Aretaeus Cappadocia · Posted

      @drjay in addition to what @trents wrote, I wanted to comment on your statement, "Positive for DQ2 and homozygous for DQB1*02 but negative for DQ8" You don't need DQ2 >and< DQ8 in order to be susceptible to getting celiac. Either one is good enough. DQB1*02 is a specific genetic allele that encodes part of the DQ2 protein. "Homozygous" means two copies of the same allele (the opposite is "heterozygous", where the two copies are different alleles). If you are homozygous for DQB1*02, you couldn't have DQ8. In other words, your genetic test tells you that you definitely have the potential to get celiac.
