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

      Unexpected gluten exposure risk from cultivated mushrooms

      Welcome to the celiac.com communiuty, @Matthias!

      Unexpected gluten exposure risk from cultivated mushrooms

      The one kind of food I had been buying and eating without any worry for hidden gluten were unprocessed veggies. Well, yesterday I discovered yet another pitfall: cultivated mushrooms. I tried some new ones, Shimeji to be precise (used in many asian soup and rice dishes). Later, at home, I was taking a closer look at the product: the mushrooms were growing...

      how much gluten do I need to eat before blood tests?

      I might suggest you consider buckwheat groats. https://www.amazon.com/Anthonys-Organic-Hulled-Buckwheat-Groats/dp/B0D15QDVW7/ref=sr_1_4_pp?crid=GOFG11A8ZUMU&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.bk-hCrXgLpHqKS8QJnfKJLKbKzm2BS9tIFv3P9HjJ5swL1-02C3V819UZ845_kAwnxTUM8Qa69hKl0DfHAucO827k_rh7ZclIOPtAA9KjvEEYtaeUV06FJQyCoi5dwcfXRt8dx3cJ6ctEn2VIPaaFd0nOye2TkASgSRtdtKgvXEEXknFVYURBjXen...

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D. The dramatic, rapid normalization of stool frequency and form after removing wheat, along with improved tolerance of legumes and plant foods, is a classic pattern seen in gluten-driven disease rather than functional IBS. IBS usually worsens with fiber and beans, not improves. The fact that y...

Yes, we have been aware that this can be an issue with mushrooms but as long as they are rinsed thoroughly it should not be a problem since the mushrooms don't actually incorporate the gluten into their cellular structure. For the same reason, one needs to be careful when buying aged cheeses and products containing yeast because of the fact that they are sometimes cultured on gluten-containing substrate.

      The one kind of food I had been buying and eating without any worry for hidden gluten were unprocessed veggies. Well, yesterday I discovered yet another pitfall: cultivated mushrooms. I tried some new ones, Shimeji to be precise (used in many asian soup and rice dishes). Later, at home, I was taking a closer look at the product: the mushrooms were growing from a visible layer of shredded cereals that had not been removed. After a quick web research I learned that these mushrooms are commonly cultivated on a cereal-based medium like wheat bran. I hope that info his helpful to someone.

Incidentally, I don't like quinoa either. Reminds me and smells to me like wet grass seed. When its not washed before cooking it makes me ill because of saponins in the seed coat. Yes, it can be difficult to get much dietary calcium without dairy. But in many cases, it's not the amount of calcium in the diet that is the problem but the poor uptake of it. And too much calcium supplementation can interfere with the absorption of vitamins and minerals in general because it raises gut pH.

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D. The dramatic, rapid normalization of stool frequency and form after removing wheat, along with improved tolerance of legumes and plant foods, is a classic pattern seen in gluten-driven disease rather than functional IBS. IBS usually worsens with fiber and beans, not improves. The fact that you carry HLA-DQ2.2 means celiac disease is absolutely possible, even if it’s less common than DQ2.5, and many people with DQ2.2 present later and are under-diagnosed. Your hesitation to reintroduce gluten is completely understandable — quality of life matters — and many people in your position choose to remain strictly gluten-free and treat it as medically necessary even without formal biopsy confirmation. If and when you’re ready, a physician can help you weigh options like limited gluten challenge, serology history, or documentation as “probable celiac.” What’s clear is that this wasn’t just random IBS — you identified the trigger, and your body has been very consistent in its response.
