Larabar

Hey everyone! I tried a new "health food bar" called a Larabar because I was out of town and needed good energy before an audition (I'm a ballet dancer). I went to the Central Market ( like Whole Foods) and was looking for something gluten free and the Larabar is gluten free (marked on the package). They come in Apple Pie, Cashew Cookie, Banana Cookie, Chocolate Coconut, and Cherry Pie. I've tried all but the Chocolate Coconut ( I dont like Coconut). They are very very delicious!! They're all natural and have 2-7 ingredients!! they have a website if you're interested in looking at them! Open Original Shared Link I highly suggest them if you need a good energy snack or have trouble finding something good to eat on trips, theyre a good back up! Enjoy! :D

They aren't produced in a dedicated facility, unfortunately. I think I reacted to one of them once, and I'm too chicken to try again, but others have enjoyed them without a reaction.

Given that I'm sure they don't test _every_ bar (just batches), it could have been a fluke contamination or it could have been with oats or barley (which a gliandin test wouldn't have picked up). Like I said, many people haven't had a problem. Maybe I'll be brave enough to try them again. Perhaps they weren't testing when I had mine (it was at least a year ago).

Hi All,

I just tried Larabars recently and I'm hooked! They are delicious and great as "road food" on a bicyle. I'm convinced that they are safe, but we all have to make our own decisions. I'm really glad that these exisit--delicious and gluten-free!

Try the "Cherry-Pie" flavor :P

Best Wishes All!

      @Jmartes71, Please do get checked for nutritional deficiencies.  A good B Complex, Vitamin D, Benfotiamine (a form of Thiamine Vitamin B1 that promotes intestinal healing), Vitamin D and magnesium are a good way to start. Correcting nutritional deficiencies with Thiamine supplements (like Benfotiamine), B Complex, and Vitamin D were my miracles. How are you doing?  Sending prayers.

      Waiting on biopsy after positive bloodwork, but also not really believing this is real

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @Alibu, I think you should send the National Institute of Health peer reviewed studies I linked to your doctors.  Some doctors don't keep abreast of the recent updates to Celiac diagnosis.  They may still be operating under the old idea of waiting until intestinal damage is at a Marsh score of 3C or 4 (complete villus atrophy) before diagnosis of Celiac is made.  Better to diagnose before it gets that severe.   Much of the damage to the small intestines is microscopic and NOT visible to the naked eye.   Since you've got Celiac genes, it would be beneficial if you kept to a strict gluten free diet.  Exposure to gluten and an environmental stress (like an infection or physical stress or emotional trauma) are...

      Waiting on biopsy after positive bloodwork, but also not really believing this is real

      By Alibu · Posted

      @knitty kitty Thank you for your response!!  So do you think my doctor might still diagnose celiac even with the negative biopsy?  At this point I'm just wondering like do I have to be super careful when I eat places for cross-contamination, or do I just have to eat gluten free and not worry about the damage so much as the symptoms, you know?  Like with celiac I know my body is attacking itself and doing damage (although apparently not haha) and with an intolerance it certainly doesn't feel good, but it's not doing the same kind of damage, you know? I sent a message to the doctor asking if I should do a video capsule endoscopy or if we should have a second opinion on the...

      Newly Diagnosed

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Gary Libby! Have you talked to your doctors and nutritionist about checking for nutritional deficiencies and supplementing with vitamins and minerals while you're healing?   Malabsorption caused by the inflammation and damage of celiac disease can deplete our stored vitamins, making us feel poorly the majority of the time.  The B vitamins are needed to digest our food and turn it into energy for our body to function.  If we're not able to absorb nutrients from food, taking a B Complex vitamin supplement can help immensely.  Do get checked for deficiencies before starting supplements.  Ask for an Erythrocyte Transketolace test.   Consider folliwing the...

      Probably celiac but also confused

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @terrymouse, I agree that you may be suffering from nutritional deficiencies already.  Get tested for nutritional deficiencies before supplementing, otherwise the vitamins you're taking can mask a deficiency.   Symptoms that you have are similar to what I experienced with malabsorption of Celiac Disease.  I would lose my appetite; if I did eat, I got full quickly, and had nausea, dizziness, trouble digesting fats, abdominal pain, and heart palpitations.  I had unintentional weight loss.  I also had my gallbladder removed.  I was deficient in the essential nutrients, especially Thiamine and the other B vitamins. Ask for an Erythrocyte Transketolace test.  Thiamine deficiency symptoms may...
