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!

Genisoy Bars are the BEST! Also if you want somthing more crunchy there are Break Bars, which are immitation KitKat bars and they are pretty 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!

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @SilkieFairy! You could also have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) as opposed to celiac disease. They share many of the same symptoms, especially the GI ones. There is no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out.

      how much gluten do I need to eat before blood tests?

      Under the circumstances, your decision to have the testing done on day 14 sounds very reasonable. But I think by now you know for certain that you either have celiac disease or NCGS and either way you absolutely need to eliminate gluten from your diet. I don't think you have to have an official diagnosis of celiac disease to leverage gluten free service in...

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      After the birth of my daughter nearly 6 years ago, my stools changed. They became thin if they happened to be solid (which was rare) but most of the time it was Bristol #6 (very loose and 6-8x a day). I was on various medications and put it down to that. A few years later I went on this strict "fruit and meat" diet where I just ate meat, fruit, and squash...

      how much gluten do I need to eat before blood tests?

      I am on day 13 of eating gluten and have decided to have the celiac panel done tomorrow instead of Wed. (and instead of extending it a few more weeks) because I am SO incredibly sick. I have almost no appetite and am not able to consume the required daily intake of calcium to try to keep up with the loss of calcium from the high parathyroid hormone...

But I think by now you know for certain that you either have celiac disease or NCGS and either way you absolutely need to eliminate gluten from your diet. I don't think you have to have an official diagnosis of celiac disease to leverage gluten free service in hospitals or institutional care and I'm guessing your physician would be willing to grant you a diagnosis of gluten sensitivity (NCGS) even if your celiac testing comes up negative. Also, you need to be aware that oats (even gluten free oats) is a common cross reactor in the celiac community. Oat protein (avenin) is similar to gluten. You might want to look at some other gluten free hot  breakfast cereal alternatives.

      After the birth of my daughter nearly 6 years ago, my stools changed. They became thin if they happened to be solid (which was rare) but most of the time it was Bristol #6 (very loose and 6-8x a day). I was on various medications and put it down to that. A few years later I went on this strict "fruit and meat" diet where I just ate meat, fruit, and squash vegetables. I noticed my stools were suddenly formed, if a bit narrow. I knew then that the diarrhea was probably food related not medication related. I tried following the fodmap diet but honestly it was just too complicated, I just lived with pooping 8x a day and wondering how I'd ever get and keep a job once my children were in school.  This past December I got my yearly bloodwork and my triglycerides were high. I looked into Dr. William Davis (wheat belly author) and he recommended going off wheat and other grains. This is the first time in my life I was reading labels to make sure there was no wheat. Within 2 weeks, not only were my stools formed and firm but I was only pooping twice a day, beautiful formed Bristol #4.  Dr. Davis allows some legumes, so I went ahead and added red lentils and beans. Nervous that the diarrhea would come back if I had IBS-D. Not only did it not come back, it just made my stools even bigger and beautiful. Still formed just with a lot more width and bulk. I've also been eating a lot of plant food like tofu, mushrooms, bell peppers, hummus etc which I thought was the cause of my diarrhea before and still, my stools are formed. In January I ran a genetics test because I knew you had to have the genes for celiac. The report came back with  DQ 2.2 plus other markers that I guess are necessary in order for it to be possible to have celiac. Apparently DQ 2.2 is the "rarer" kind but based on my report it's genetically possible for me to have celiac.  I know the next step is to bring gluten back so I can get testing but I am just not wanting to do that. After suffering with diarrhea for years I can't bring myself to do it right now. So that is where I am!

      I am on day 13 of eating gluten  and have decided to have the celiac panel done tomorrow instead of Wed. (and instead of extending it a few more weeks) because I am SO incredibly sick. I have almost no appetite and am not able to consume the required daily intake of calcium to try to keep up with the loss of calcium from the high parathyroid hormone and/or the renal calcium leak.    I have spent the past 15 years working hard to improve my health. I lost 50lbs, got off handfuls of medications, lowered my cholesterol to enviable levels, and in spite of having end stage osteoarthritis in both knees, with a good diet and keeping active I have NO pain in those joints- til now.  Almost all of my joints hurt now I feel like someone has repeatedly punched me all over my torso- even my ribs hurt- I have nausea, gas, bloating, headache, mood swings, irritability, horrid flatulence (afraid to leave the house or be in any enclosed spaces with other people- the smell would knock them off their feet) I was so sure that I wanted a firm diagnosis but now- I'm asking myself is THIS worth it? esp over the past 2 yrs I have been feeling better and better the more I adjusted my diet to exclude highly refined grains and processed foods. I didn't purposely avoid gluten, but it just happened that not eating gluten has made me feel better.   I don't know what I would have to gain by getting a definitive diagnosis. I think possibly the only advantage to a DX would be that I could insist on gluten-free foods in settings where I am unable to have access to foods of my choice (hospital, rehab, nursing home)  and maybe having a medical reason to see a dietician?   please let me know if it's reasonable to just go back to the way I was eating.  Actually I do plan to buy certified gluten-free oats as that is the only grain I consume (and really like) so there will be some minor tweaks I hope and pray that I heal quickly from any possible damage that may have been done from 13 days of eating gluten.
