Extendbar

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.

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      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.

      Thanks @Scott Adams. Do you know if Kirkland Signature supplements share facility and production lines with other products containing gluten?  I'm worried that I'll react to this brand just like I did with other gluten-free labelled supplement brands.

      This is a really common area of confusion. Most natural cheeses (cheddar, Swiss, mozzarella, Parmesan, brie, camembert, and most blue cheeses) are inherently gluten-free, and you’re right that the molds used today are typically grown on gluten-free media. The bigger risks tend to come from processed cheeses: shredded cheese (anti-caking agents), cheese spreads, beer-washed rinds, smoke-flavored cheeses, and anything with added seasonings or “natural flavors,” where cross-contact can happen. As for yeast, you’re also correct — yeast itself is gluten-free. The issue is the source: brewer’s yeast and yeast extracts can be derived from barley unless labeled gluten-free, while baker’s yeast is generally safe. When in doubt, sticking with whole, unprocessed cheeses and products specifically labeled gluten-free is the safest approach, especially if you’re highly sensitive.
