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.

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!

      I do not know this, but since they are labelled gluten-free, and are not really a product that could easily be contaminated when making them (there would be not flour in the air of such a facility, for example), I don't really see contamination as something to be concerned about for this type of product.

      @Jane02, I hear you about the kale and collard greens.  I don't do dairy and must eat green leafies, too, to get sufficient calcium.  I must be very careful because some calcium supplements are made from ground up crustacean shells.  When I was deficient in Vitamin D, I took high doses of Vitamin D to correct the deficiency quickly.  This is safe and nontoxic.  Vitamin D level should be above 70 nmol/L.  Lifeguards and indigenous Pacific Islanders typically have levels between 80-100 nmol/L.   Levels lower than this are based on amount needed to prevent disease like rickets and osteomalacia. We need more thiamine when we're physically ill, emotionally and mentally stressed, and if we exercise like an athlete or laborer.  We need more thiamine if we eat a diet high in simple carbohydrates.  For every 500 kcal of carbohydrates, we need 500-1000 mg more of thiamine to process the carbs into energy.  If there's insufficient thiamine the carbs get stored as fat.  Again, recommended levels set for thiamine are based on minimum amounts needed to prevent disease.  This is often not adequate for optimum health, nor sufficient for people with absorption problems such as Celiac disease.  Gluten free processed foods are not enriched with vitamins like their gluten containing counterparts.  Adding a B Complex and additional thiamine improves health for Celiacs.  Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  Thiamine helps the mitochondria in cells to function.  Thiamine interacts with each of the other B vitamins.  They are all water soluble and easily excreted if not needed. Interesting Reading: Clinical trial: B vitamins improve health in patients with coeliac disease living on a gluten-free diet https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19154566/ Safety and effectiveness of vitamin D mega-dose: A systematic review https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34857184/ High dose dietary vitamin D allocates surplus calories to muscle and growth instead of fat via modulation of myostatin and leptin signaling https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38766160/ Safety of High-Dose Vitamin D Supplementation: Secondary Analysis of a Randomized Controlled Trial https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31746327/ Vitamins and Celiac Disease: Beyond Vitamin D https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11857425/ Investigating the therapeutic potential of tryptophan and vitamin A in modulating immune responses in celiac disease: an experimental study https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40178602/ Investigating the Impact of Vitamin A and Amino Acids on Immune Responses in Celiac Disease Patients https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10814138/

      Thank you so much @knitty kitty for this insightful information! I would have never considered fractionated coconut oil to be a potential source of GI upset. I will consider all the info you shared. Very interesting about the Thiamine deficiency.  I've tracked daily averages of my intake in a nutrition software. The only nutrient I can't consistently meet from my diet is vitamin D. Calcium is a hit and miss as I rely on vegetables, dark leafy greens as a major source, for my calcium intake. I'm able to meet it when I either eat or juice a bundle of kale or collard greens daily haha. My thiamine intake is roughly 120% of my needs, although I do recognize that I may not be absorbing all of these nutrients consistently with intermittent unintentional exposures to gluten.  My vitamin A intake is roughly 900% (~6400 mcg/d) of my needs as I eat a lot of sweet potato, although since it's plant-derived vitamin A (beta-carotene) apparently it's not likely to cause toxicity.  Thanks again!

      Hello, @Jane02,  I take Naturewise D 3.  It contains olive oil.   Some Vitamin D supplements, like D Drops, are made with fractionated coconut oil which can cause digestive upsets.  Fractionated coconut oil is not the same as coconut oil used for cooking.  Fractionated coconut oil has been treated for longer shelf life, so it won't go bad in the jar, and thus may be irritating to the digestive system. I avoid supplements made with soy because many people with Celiac Disease also react to soy.  Mixed tocopherols, an ingredient in Thornes Vitamin D, may be sourced from soy oil.  Kirkland's has soy on its ingredient list. I avoid things that might contain or be exposed to crustaceans, like Metagenics says on its label.  I have a crustacean/shellfish/fish allergy.  I like Life Extension Bioactive Complete B Complex.  I take additional Thiamine B 1 in the form Benfotiamine which helps the intestines heal, Life Extension MegaBenfotiamine. Thiamine is needed to activate Vitamin D.   Low thiamine can make one feel like they are getting glutened after a meal containing lots of simple carbohydrates like white rice, or processed gluten free foods like cookies and pasta.   It's rare to have a single vitamin deficiency.  The water soluble B Complex vitamins should be supplemented together with additional Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine and Thiamine TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) to correct subclinical deficiencies that don't show up on blood tests.  These are subclinical deficiencies within organs and tissues.  Blood is a transportation system.  The body will deplete tissues and organs in order to keep a supply of thiamine in the bloodstream going to the brain and heart.   If you're low in Vitamin D, you may well be low in other fat soluble vitamins like Vitamin A and Vitamin K. Have you seen a dietician?
