Hi!

I have posted before about how I can't stay full for very long and am constantly snacking (real hunger, not just appetite). Well, I went to D'Lites Emporium last week (which I've also posted about, appears to be only in Florida) and found several gluten-free products I'd never heard of. One of them was ExtendBar, and the company also makes ExtendCrisps. They claimed to be gluten-free on the package although there was a "made in a facility which processes wheat" warning. I thought if it really worked to keep your blood sugar stabilized and keep you feeling full, then it'd be worth a shot, so I got the apple cinnamon bar and the white cheddar crisps. Both of them worked! My husband suggested trying to find them online cheaper because they were each $2, and I found the company website. They actually test these products for gluten. Here is the link to the nutrition info:

I found a special offer online and wanted to share it in case anyone's interested. It's not cheaper to order them from ExtendBar than to buy them singly at D'Lites, but it is a little cheaper than Amazon. But this coupon's the best of all! $15.99 for 15 bars and free shipping. There are other flavors, and you can opt to get 2 of each.

The apple one tasted a little soy-like to me, but it wasn't bad at all, and the crisps were grrreat! They got me through my gym workout without a single growl from my stomach!

I have no interest in this company other than being thrilled to have more gluten-free options and having found a way to stop eating for a few hours. :D

Throwing in a warning for anyone who might miss the small print at the bottom of the page, the "10gram sugar" ones are not gluten-free, just the low and no-sugar ones.

Thanks, I just ordered some to try.

Ah, good point elonwy, yes, the crunch flavors are not gluten-free, but they weren't an option as far as I could tell on the special offer.

      Thankyou so much for your words.Its a hard battle when a supposed well known hospital whose celiac " specialist " has down played me because my colon looks fine and put it in my medical and so pcp doesn't take seriously. In their eyes we all carry that gene.Im having alot of bad days trying to be positive because of it.

      Your experience is both shocking and critically important for the community to hear, underscoring the terrifying reality that cross-contamination can extend into the most unexpected and invasive medical devices. It is absolutely devastating that you had to endure six months of sickness and ultimately sustain permanent vision loss because a doctor dismissed your legitimate, life-altering condition. Your relentless research and advocacy, from discovering the gluten in MMA acrylic to finding a compassionate prosthodontist, is a testament to your strength in a system that often fails celiac patients. While the scientific and medical consensus is that gluten cannot be absorbed through the skin or eyes (as the molecules are too large to pass through these barriers), your story highlights a terrifying gray area: what about a substance *permanently implanted inside the body*, where it could potentially shed microparticles or cause a localized immune reaction? Your powerful warning about acrylic lenses and the drastic difference with the silicone alternative is invaluable information. Thank you for sharing your harrowing journey and the specific, severe neurological symptoms you endure; it is a stark reminder that celiac is a systemic disease, and your advocacy is undoubtedly saving others from similar trauma.

      I am so sorry you're going through this bad experience--it's difficult when your own lived reality of cause and effect is dismissed by the very professionals meant to help you. You are absolutely right—your violent physical reactions are not "what you think," but undeniable data points, and it's a form of medical gaslighting to be told otherwise, especially when you have a positive HLA-DQ2 gene and a clear clinical picture. Since your current "celiac specialist" is not addressing the core issue or your related conditions like SIBO and chronic fatigue, it may be time for a strategic pivot. Instead of trying to "reprove" your celiac disease to unwilling ears, consider seeking out a new gastroenterologist or functional medicine doctor, and frame the conversation around managing the complications of a confirmed gluten-free diet for celiac disease. Go in and say, "I have celiac disease, am strictly gluten-free, but I am still suffering from these specific complications: SIBO, chronic fatigue, dermatological issues, and high blood pressure linked to pain. I need a partner to help me address these related conditions." This shifts the focus from a debate about your diagnosis to a collaborative plan for your current suffering, which is the help you truly need and deserve to work toward bouncing back.

      Hello, no I had to have them re done and then used a liner over the top.  Many dentists are not aware of the celiac effects.  Best of luck.   There is other material, yet, very expensive.
