I was in a rush at the supermarket today and I didn't see "oats" in the ingrediants of the luna bars that I bought until I got home. I would give them to the other people that I live with, but none of them like luna bars...I'd feel really bad throwing them out and I don't live in a town where there's a lot of homeless people to give food to, otherwise i'd give them away to the less fortunate. Any ideas? I bought 6 of them.

If it was me who did that, I would be able to return them to the supermarket in town, and exchange them for the ones I wanted. Why don't you go back and explain to them why you can't use those, and ask if you can return them? If they are unopened, I don't see why that won't be possible.

Hi jvalentine89

I would just return the product. Do not feel embarassed that you need to return them. Just explain due to a food allergy, you were unaware this product contained glutened sources, and you are unable to eat them. Most places want you as a return customer, I've returned things like packages of coffee to a supermarket, because my husband got the wrong type (he got the decaffinated version).. didn't look, he just grabbed. LOL. :rolleyes:

      What foods can trigger a response in people with gluten sensitivity? I've read that there are foods that, although they don't contain gluten, can cause problems for people with gluten sensitivity because they contain proteins similar to gluten that trigger a response in the body. I've seen that other cereals are included: corn, rice... also chicken, casein. I would like to know what other foods can cause this reaction, and if you have more information on the subject, I would like to know about it. Right now, I react very badly to rice and corn. Thank you.

      Thank you for the links to the articles.  Interesting reading. I'll be telling my brother in law because he has a lot of pain

      Oats naturally contain a protein called avenin, which is similar to the gluten proteins found in wheat, barley, and rye. While avenin is generally considered safe for most people with celiac disease, some individuals, around 5-10% of celiacs, may also have sensitivity to avenin, leading to symptoms similar to gluten exposure. You may fall into this category, and eliminating them is the best way to figure this out. Some people substitute gluten-free quinoa flakes for oats if they want a hot cereal substitute. If you are interested in summaries of scientific publications on the topic of oats and celiac disease, we have an entire category dedicated to it which is here: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/oats-and-celiac-disease-are-they-gluten-free/
