Gluten-free Bar Suggestions, Please?

Wow, I am soooo glad I'm not the only bar addict here. (Hmm, that could be taken badly, but you know what I mean. ;) )

I have a TERRIBLE habit of not eating all day and then eating all evening. :ph34r: That's gotten even worse since being gluten-free and not having my bars at hand.

Now I have lots of new ones to try! :wub:

I tried them anyway, but yuck. :P

I had the same reaction my first time. The only ones I could really tolerate were the cinnamon and apple ones.

I love KIND bars. They have dates, nuts, and fruit. I would not consider them a meal replacement bar, rather for a cookie fix.

I do like kind bars as well. Lots of nuts and fruit, but more nuts :) I had to stop eating them though, because I have bad TMJ problems, and they're kinda crunchy.

Open Original Shared Link - nuts and seeds. I don't see crack listed on the label, but it must be in there because these are addictive!

:)

LOL! These ones are pretty decent, I only REALLY like the chocolate one.

Oh, and another bar that hasn't been mentioned yet is PureFit. A lot more like a "power bar"...at least, from what I remember of power bars. More chewy, and pretty good. They have peanut butter, almond, and chocolate brownie flavors. If you visit the website, there's a sample kit you can buy, it's like $5, and you get one of each. I did that, and was pretty impressed. Couldn't decide on a favorite though. And never got around to ordering more. Wish they had them at my local HF store. Easier than buying online.

I like the Goraw pumpkin seed bars. Daughter eats the bars from Enjoy Life. She also likes these:

Emogene Newbie

These are the BEST. Open Original Shared Link

They are gluten AND dairy free which is good b/c I'm allergic to both. (and wheat.) These taste amazing, no aftertaste.

The ONLY problem I have with them is that they are sugar free as well - and that can upset your stomach if you're sensitive to it, so I can't eat more than one a day. You can buy them cheaper on Amazon. (or buy the $3 sampler, they'll send you 5 bars) I sound like I work for them but i dont :lol: it's just so hard to find bars that are free of everything i'm allergic to, so if these every went out of production i would die. seriously, starve to death.

(oh and for the record - Soyjoy bars taste like dirt. That's even insulting to dirt.)

      Hello everyone. I am Elena and am 38 years old. I suspect I have a gluten intolerance even if my celiac panel is ok. I have the following symptoms : facial flushing, Red dots not bumps în face, bloating abdominal distension, hair loss, depression anxiety even with meds and even bipolar. Fatigue extreme to the point of not being able to work. All of these after I eat gluten. Could I have non celiac gluten sensitivity? Thanks anyone else with these symptoms?

      Hi Everyone,  I do appreciate your replies to my original post.   Here is where I am now in this journey.  I am currently seeing a Naturopath.  One thing I did not post before is that I take Esomeprazole for GERD.  My Naturopath believes that the decrease in the gastric acid has allowed the yeast to grow.    She has put me on some digestive enzymes.  She also put me on Zinc, Selenium, B 12, as she felt that I was not absorbing my vitamins. I am about 5 weeks into this treatment, and I am feeling better. I did not have any trouble taking the Fluconazole.

      I'm sure it's chemically perfect. Most of them taste lousy!

      Hi @JulieRe.  I just found your post.  It seems that I am also experiencing thrush, and my doctor believes that I have fungal overgrowth in my gut, which is most likely candida.  I'm seeing my GI doctor next week, so I'm hoping she can diagnose and confirm this and then give me an antifungal treatment.  In the meantime, I have been working with a functional medicine doctor, doing a candida cleanse and taking vitamins. It's already helping to make me feel better (with some ups and downs, of course), so I do think the yeast is definitely a problem for me on top of my celiac disease and I'm hoping my GI doctor can look into this a bit further.  So, how about you?  Did the candida come back, or is it still gone following your fluconazole treatment?  Also, was it awful to take fluconazole?  I understand that taking an antifungal can cause a reaction that sometimes makes people feel sick while they're taking it.  I hope you're doing better still !

      I'm so sorry you're going through this—the "gluten challenge" is notoriously brutal, and it's awful to deliberately make yourself sick when you've already found the answer. For the joint pain, many people find that over-the-counter anti-inflammatories like ibuprofen can help take the edge off, and using heating pads or warm baths can provide some direct relief for the aches. For the digestive misery, stick to simple, easy-to-digest foods (like plain rice, bananas, and bone broth) and drink plenty of water and electrolytes to stay hydrated. It feels like the longest month ever, but you are doing the right thing to get a clear diagnosis, which can be crucial for your long-term health and getting the proper care. Hang in there; you can get through this! This article, and the comments below it, may be helpful:
