Roasted Nut Crunch Bars

Today I picked up Nature Valley Roasted Nut Crunch Almond Crunch bars. I miss the Sweet and Salty Nut bars and all their others (oatmeal doesn't work for me), so I gave the shelf a longing glance and noticed these. Ingredients: almonds, peanuts, sunflower seeds, sugar, corn syrup, salt. No CYA "made on shared equipment with wheat" or similar statement. It would sure be nice to have these to carry along when I'm not sure I'll find safe food. I'm going to give them a try. Anybody try them yet? Any info?

I have tried both the Almond one and the Peanut one, didn't have a problem with either one.

The Peanut one I like more just b/c the Almond one for me had too many big chunks of almonds in it. I brought them to work for a snack during the day and the almond one I would feel like little parts of it would get stuck in my throat and I would caugh -- so didn't work out too well since I answer the phone throughout the day.

They are a great snack to have in the car or a bag though :D

I bought them last week. They are very tasty but also very crumbly. Didn't have a gluten reaction with them. I have one in my purse for emergencies.

Good to hear. Yeah, in my bag for emergencies is the plan for these babies. Lots of good protein in there. Thanks!

I'm resurrecting this thread to ask if anyone has had a reaction to these bars.

I just started a food diary because I think I've had some cc issues with some processed foods, and these bars are on my questionable list.

I just emailed Nature Valley this month (Dec. 09) to ask if they're made on shared equipment. I got a canned response via email that pretty much said that if the product does not clearly say 'gluten free' on it, then they can't be sure of gluten status because of sourcing or manufacturing.

I had the Almond Nut Crunch bars a lot when I first went gluten-free, but my symptoms weren't fully cleared up enough to know for sure if I reacted. And, like I said, I'm now keeping a diary to track things.

Has anyone reacted to these bars?

I also would like to know...I'm going on a cruise next weekend, and need some gluten-free goodies to pack along. Might grab a box at the store and try them out myself...

I was eating them for a while, but they are so hard to chew. I don't think I had a problem with them. I'm only gluten free for four months, so I still consider myself a "newbie."

But, my dietitian recommended them to me & he also has celiac, so I think they are pretty safe. He told me only the "Nature Valley Almonds Crunch" ones were safe. I'm not sure about the peanut variety.

I hope this helps! ;)

I used to eat these occasionally and had not had a problem with them - it has been a few months, though.

I've eaten several boxes of these uneventfully. They are very tasty. I consider them to be a somewhat lighter alternative to a Snickers type candy bar. They are sweet and somewhat messy (crumbly).

best regards, lm

      Fighting for a name

      By Jmartes71 · Posted

      Im so frustrated and still getting the run around trying to reprove my celiac disease which my past primary ignored for 25 years.I understand that theres a ray of medical that doctors are limited too but not listening and telling the patient ( me) that im not as sensitive as I think and NOT celiac!Correction Mr white coat its not what I think but for cause and affect and past test that are not sticking in my medical records.I get sick violently with foods consumed, not eating the foods will show Im fabulous. After many blood draws and going through doctors I have the HLA- DQ2 positive which I read in a study that Iran conducted that the severity in celiac is in that gene.Im glutenfree and dealing with related issues which core issue of celiac isn't addressed. My skin, right eye, left leg diagestive issues affected. I have high blood pressure because im in pain.Im waisting my time on trying to reprove that Im celiac which is not a disease I want, but unfortunately have.It  has taken over my life personally and professionally. How do I stop getting medically gaslight and get the help needed to bounce back if I ever do bounce back to normal? I thought I was in good care with " celiac specialist " but in her eyes Im good.Im NOT.Sibo positive, IBS, Chronic Fatigue just to name a few and its all related to what I like to call a ghost disease ( celiac) since doctors don't seem to take it seriously.

      @Martha Mitchell, your reaction to the lens implant with gluten sounds like it could be an allergic reaction rather than a celiac reaction. It is possible for a celiac to be also allergic to gluten as it is a protein component in wheat, barley and rye.

      Scott I also have different symptoms than most people. It affects me bad. Stomach ache, headache, nauseous, heart racing, whole body shaking, can't walk then my throat starts to close. It attacks my nervous system. The only thing that saves me is a 1/2 of Xanax...it calms down my nervous system

      Scott Adams. I was dealing with a DR that didn't care about me being celiac. I repeatedly told him that I was celiac and is everything gluten-free. He put an acrylic lens from j&j. I called the company to ask about gluten and was told yes that the acrylic they use has gluten....then they back tracked immediately and stopped talking to me. The Dr didn't care that I was having issues. It took me 6 months and a lot of sickness to get it removed.... which can only happen within 6 months. The Dr that took it out said that it was fused and that's why I lost vision. If they would have removed it right away everything would be fine. He put in a silicone one that was gluten-free and I've had no issues at all in the other eye. Do not do acrylic!
