I absolutely LOVE Enjoy Life! The Carmel Apple is so yummy. You can find them here: Open Original Shared Link

I also love their granola cereals. I am nut free as well, so that makes them even better for me.

:P

My kids and I really like the Envirokids crispy bars. They don't fall under the category of granola, but they are yummy bars that kids love.

These are not Granola Bars per se, but I buy Zone Perfect bars.

They have several kinds that are gluten-free, including Fudge Graham (despite the name - they are gluten-free). When I called their phone number (1-800-666-6830) the person who answered was very knowledgeable and was able to tell me which flavors were and were not gluten-free. I like this brand because they have a lot of protein, not just a lot of carbs. You can find them at WalMart and other places.

Only my son (age 14) has Celiac in our family. He likes these, and I have found them to be excellent for when we are on the road, such as when he is playing basketball or baseball and needs something to eat before or in-between games, but not a full meal.

My daughter (age 11) likes both Zone bars and regular granola bars.

I keep some at my desk at work when I don't have time for a regular lunch.

I don't know how old your daughter is, but they have regular size bars and also a smaller snack size.

Which ZonePerfect bars are gluten-free? I used to love them before i went gluten-free, but I assumed they all had gluten in them.

Just another option, I posted a recipe here on this forum for cereal bars - very flexible recipe. I make different ones for me and for my son - mine has millet cereal and raisins and sunflowers - his has corn cereal and peanuts and peanut butter and coconut and marshmallows!

A brand called Oskri makes granola bars that say gluten-free, lactose-free on the package. I haven't ever seen them in the US but they're made in Wisconsin, so they must be available somewhere (maybe online?) They don't contain sugar and are not very sweet though (if that's what your daughter is looking for :))

I really like Enjoy Life bars as well, and, come to think of it, Alpsnack bars are my favorite (similar to a granola bar - and the chocolate flavor is awesome).

Since I have not checked in awhile, I thought I would revisit this issue, so I called them today.

The customer service rep told me that the bars are made on shared equipment and some bars have gluten ingredients. When I asked further if she had information on how they change from one product to another, she found information stating that all the equipment is thoroughly cleaned and sanitized between products, and that they were highly aware of the need to do this with respect to allergens. Again, very helpful and knowledgable on the phone. You will need to make your own decision with respect to this, but I had good confidence in what I was hearing. The rep had all of this information at her fingertips.

My son eats Zone bars fairly often (about 1 per week). He doesn't have GI symptoms anyway, but recently had bloodwork confirmed negative (TTg), and has been negative for the past 4 tests over the past two years.

Now with all these disclaimers out of the way, here is the list of ZonePerfect Bars that contain no Gluten Ingredients:

Chocolate Almond Raisin

Chocolate Caramel Crunch (also snack size)

Chocolate Coconut Crunch

Chocolate Peanut Butter (also snack size)

Chocolate Raspberry

Fudge Graham (also snack size)

Peanut Toffee

Double Dark Chocolate

Banana Nut

Blueberry

Orange Cranberry

My grandma gave me this one. You can change it up with whatever you like.....change the fruits, chocolates, or nuts. The whole family loves these bars. My grandma who is diabetic uses splenda for both sugars.

I get Zone Bars at WalMart. You can get them individually or in a box of 5, for about $1 each.

At WalMart, they are usually in the Pharmacy area near the vitamins and diet stuff.

Just a note, not all celiacs can handle oats, and most supermarket oats are cross contaminated. Be cautious!

      Unusual bright yellow but odourless discharge

      Yes, I, too, have osteoporosis from years of malabsorption, too.  Thiamine and magnesium are what keep the calcium in place in the bones.  If one is low in magnesium, boron, selenium, zinc, copper, and other trace minerals, ones bone heath can suffer.  We need more than just calcium and Vitamin D for strong bones.  Riboflavin B 2, Folate B 9 and Pyridoxine B 6 also contribute to bone formation and strength.   Have you had your thyroid checked?  The thyroid is important to bone health as well.  The thyroid uses lots of thiamine, so a poorly functioning thyroid will affect bone heath.

      That sounds so very likely in my case! I will absolutely ask my doctor on my next bone check coming up in March... Thanks a lot!

      Calcium levels as measured in the blood can be quite deceiving as the body will rob calcium from the bones to meet demands for it by other bodily functions. Also, supplementing with calcium can be counterproductive as it tends to raise gut pH and decrease absorption. More often than not, the problem is poor absorption to begin with rather than deficiency of intake amounts in the diet. Calcium needs an acidic environment to be absorbed. This is why so many people on PPIs develop osteoporosis. The PPIs raise gut pH. And some people have high gut PH for other reasons. Low pH equates to a more acidic environment whereas high pH equates to a more basic (less acidic) environment.

      Kind thanks for all this valuable information! Since my Folate was/is low and also my Calcium, there IS a chance I am low in B vitamins... My doctor only measured the first two, oh and Zinc as I has twisted her arm and guess what, that was mega low too. So who knows, until I get myself tested properly, what else I am deficient in... I did a hair mineral test recently and it said to avoid All sources of Calcium. But this is confusing for me as my Ca is so low and I have osteoporosis because of this. It is my Adjusted Ca that is on the higher side and shouldn't be. So am not sure why the mineral test showed high Ca (well, it was medium in the test but relative to my lowish Magnesium, also via hair sample, it was high I was told). But anyway, thanks again for the VitB download, I will look into this most certainly!

      Allergy medication: cetirizine by the HealthA2Z is it gluten free?

      By ElisaAllergiesgluten · Posted

      Hello good afternoon, I was wondering if anyone has ever brought their anti-allergy pills? I have been wanting to use their Cetirizine HCI 10mg. They are called HealthA2Z and distributed by Allegiant Health.I’m also Asthmatic and these allergies are terrible for me but I also want to be sure they don’t have any sort of gluten compound.    I have tried calling them but to no avail. Has anyone ever used them? If so, did you had any problems or no problems at all?    thank you
