Hello

I was hoping someone might be able to give me the name brand of that chocolate peanut butter bar that is gluten-free? Was it Atkins? Thought it would be a great snack to keep in my bag for a quick safe snack. Thanks all. Nancy

Genisoy southern style chunky peanut butter fudge is gluten-free. They are pretty good.

Enjoy!

I heard Atkins are gluten-free, but since I can't have dairy either I get ANDI bars. They are really good and gluten free and casein free. I get them at the Gluten Free Pantry, where you can buy them by the case, but they are still pricey at $2.00 a bar.

Both NHF whey and soy protien bars, in all flavours are gluten free, the whey protien bar in double chocolate brownie flavour is really quite good!

The only Genisoy bar that doesn't contain gluten is the creamy peanut yogurt, all the others have enriched wheat flour or graham flour...the creamy peanut yogurt may also contain wheat unless it's precessed on a dedicated line...

clicking on the bar brings up its nutritional info...are there gluten-free flavours not listed?

We have a gluten free energy nutrition bar called Slimlogic. It is also low carb, so it fits right in to any low carb diet. It is produced by the Conklin Company and is available on our website. www.arlanna.com It is currently available in chocolate peanut butter, lemon delight, and caramel pecan. You can e-mail me at awray@conklinmail.com or call 1-888-266-0014 ext. 8177 and leave a message. I'll be glad to give you any information you need. Anna Marie Wray

The following Atkins Advantage Bars are also gluten free I called their customer service to check:

Chocolate Coconut

Almond Brownie

Chocolate Peanut Butter

Chcoclate Decadent

Cookies'n'cream (I would have written this one off just by its name alone!)

Smores (this flavour is currently available in the U.S. only)

They do contain maltodextrin but since none of these bars are corn free but are gluten free and safe for a gluten free diet, customer service believes that the matlodextrin is derived from corn. I'm going to try one this weekend, probably cookies'n'cream.

If you call their customer Service hotline (1-800-6-ATKINS), they break thier foods down by:

corn free

wheat free

AND(!)

gluten free

yeast free

peanut free

Has anyone eaten any gluten free nutrition bars? I've looked at our health food store but didn't find anything that I felt was safe. It would be nice to have something that I could ingest that's not a pretzel or cookie. I do keep the Crispy Rice Bars by EnviroKidz but I wonder if there's not something else that might be a bit more nutritious. Any help would be appreciated. :rolleyes:

Thanks so much.............Judy

My favorite gluten-free bar is the Boomi Bar, the Almond Protein Plus one. It contains only almonds, honey and whey protein and tastes like an almond cookie. It has 12g of protein per bar. There are very few health bars I feel comfortable eating because I'm supposed to avoid chocolate and excess refined sugar due to other health concerns.

Here's the page with the nutrition content of Almond Protein Plus:

There's also a gluten-free bar with cashews, but my local health food store doesn't carry it, so I haven't tried it yet.

Hope this helps.

Luna Bar makes a bar that is low carb and gluten free called Luna Glo. They taste okay in my opinion. Also, if you don't react to oats (as I don't) then Luna Bars make 3 flavors that do not contain Barley/Malt (like most of their bars). Those flavors are Peppermint Stick (which is great), Sweet Dreams, and Chocolate Covered Cherry. Now, these bars do contain Oats so becareful! The Glo bars I was told by Luna are 100% gluten free . . .

Check out "Organic Food Bar." They make a number of varieties, including one for vegans. All are "No preservates, additives, salt, or refined sugars. Gluten-Free." And no unfamiliar, chemical-sounding ingredients. Whole Foods has them. --Aldo

I've had Genisoy and Atkins bars.........just want to fill everyone in on something that scared me about Atkins. I called the company about them and kept asking to make sure that the Cookies and Cream really was gluten-free. Well, there's no wheat in it, but the ingredient malt is clearly in the ingredients section.........I'll still eat the other gluten-free bars, but I'm not having cookies 'n cream

I LOVE the Atkins bars ~ and I love the Cookies 'N Cream ~ have not had a reaction to them. Their peanut butter one is really good as well. Also the EAS bars are gluten free (except ones that have rice crispies in them). Both companies will e-mail you a list of their gluten free flavors. I would post them, but they are on a different computer! Sorry!

      High DGP-A with normal IGA

      Okay well the info about TTG-A actually makes a lot of sense and I wish the PA had explained that to me. But yes, I would assume I would have intestinal damage from eating a lot of gluten for 32 years while having all these symptoms. As far as avoiding gluten foods - I was definitely not doing that.

      High DGP-A with normal IGA

      So you're saying that you think you should have severe intestinal damage since you've had the symptoms so long? DGP IgG antibodies are produced in response to a partial gluten molecule. This is different than what tissue transglutaminase antibodies are produced in response to. TTg IgA antibodies are produced in the intestines in response to...

      High DGP-A with normal IGA

      I was tested for celiac at the same time, so I wasn't taking naltrexone yet. I say that, because I don't. The endoscopy showed some mild inflammation but was inconclusive as to celiac disease. They took several biopsies and that's all that was shown. I was not given a Marsh score.

      High DGP-A with normal IGA

      Food and environmental allergies involve IgE antibodies. IgE antibodies provoke histamine release from mast cells. Celiac disease is not always visible to the naked eye during endoscopy. Much of the damage is microscopic and patchy or out of reach of the scope. Did they take any biopsies of your small intestine for a pathologist to examine? Were...

      High DGP-A with normal IGA

      I was tested for food allergies and environmental allergies about 7 months before I started taking Naltrexone, so I don't think that is the cause for me, but that's interesting! The main thing with the celiac thing that is throwing me off is these symptoms are lifelong, but I don't have intestinal damage to correlate with lifelong undiagnosed celiac...

      Finding gluten free ingredients

      By captaincrab55 · Posted

      Imemsm, Most of us have experienced discontinued, not currently available or products that suddenly become seasonal.   My biggest fear about relocating from Maryland to Florida 5 years ago, was being able to find gluten-free foods that fit my restricted diet.  I soon found out that the Win Dixie and Publix supper markets actually has 99% of their gluten-free foods tagged, next to the price.  The gluten-free tags opened up a  lot of foods that aren't actually marked gluten-free by the manufacture.  Now I only need to check for my other dietary restrictions.  Where my son lives in New Hartford, New York there's a Hannaford Supermarket that also has a gluten-free tag next to the price tag.  Hopefully you can locate a Supermarket within a reasonable travel distance that you can learn what foods to check out at a Supermarket close to you.  I have dermatitis herpetiformis too and I'm very sensitive to gluten and the three stores I named were very gluten-free friendly.  Good Luck

      Okay well the info about TTG-A actually makes a lot of sense and I wish the PA had explained that to me. But yes, I would assume I would have intestinal damage from eating a lot of gluten for 32 years while having all these symptoms. As far as avoiding gluten foods - I was definitely not doing that. Bread, pasta, quesadillas (with flour tortillas) and crackers are my 4 favorite foods and I ate at least one of those things multiple times a day e.g. breakfast with eggs and toast, a cheese quesadilla for lunch, and pasta for dinner, and crackers and cheese as a before bed snack. I'm not even kidding.  I'm not really big on sugar, so I don't really do sweets. I don't have any of those conditions.  I am not sure if I have the genes or not. When the geneticist did my genetic testing for EDS this year, I didn't think to ask for him to request the celiac genes so they didn't test for them, unfortunately.  I guess another expectation I had is  that if gluten was the issue, the gluten-free diet would make me feel better, and I'm 3 months in and that hasn't been the case. I am being very careful and reading every label because I didn't want to screw this up and have to do gluten-free for longer than necessary if I end up not having celiac. I'm literally checking everything, even tea and anything else prepacked like caramel dip. Honestly its making me anxious 😅

      So you're saying that you think you should have severe intestinal damage since you've had the symptoms so long?   DGP IgG antibodies are produced in response to a partial gluten molecule.  This is different than what tissue transglutaminase antibodies are  produced in response to.   TTg IgA antibodies are produced in the intestines in response to gluten.  The tTg IgA antibodies attack our own cells because a structural component in our cell membranes resembles a part of gluten.  There's a correlation between the level of intestinal damage with the level of tTg antibodies produced.  You are not producing a high number of tTg IgA antibodies, so your level of tissue damage in your intestines is not very bad.  Be thankful.   There may be reasons why you are not producing a high quantity of tTg IgA antibodies.  Consuming ten grams or more of gluten a day for two weeks to two months before blood tests are done is required to get sufficient antibody production and damage to the intestines.  Some undiagnosed people tend to subconsciously avoid lots of gluten.  Cookies and cakes do not contain as much gluten as artisan breads and thick chewy pizza crust.  Anemia, diabetes and thiamine deficiency can affect IgA antibody production as well.   Do you carry genes for Celiac?  They frequently go along with EDS.
