Per Open Original Shared Link they have gluten. But, I don't see oats in your description so perhaps there is gluten hiding in the natural flavors or something. It would be worth emailing and asking for clarification.

I think Jane has a good point - going with the information from Luna's own website. They may not be gluten-free but, an email never hurts!

Just looking at that list of ingredients would make me leery anyway....too many ingredients, too many artificial ones on top of that. I suggest you check out Larabars - they're gluten-free and they all seem to have less than 10 ingredients. Moreover, all of the ingredients are things you actually know.

The chocolate cherry (which may be similar to your Luna bar) contains:

Organic Dates, Organic Almonds, Organic Walnuts, Unsweetened Cherries, Organic Cocoa Powder, Organic Cocoa Mass

They taste great! I always have a Larabar or two on me, just in case :D You can find them several places including Trader Joe's, REI, and many places online.

thanks for the replies i think i will email them. and believe me, i know all about larabars! i have at least one a day.

I might be wrong on this, but I think they might not be gluten-free because of the brown rice syrup? Some brown rice syrup is made with barley.

in Canada, Luna bars list Barley as an ingredient

      I've been to the Mayo Clinic. Outstanding place. Did they test to see if you might have refractory celiac disease? This may explain why the symptoms persist but what numbers are off the charts? Are they antibodies, liver enzymes?

      Hi Dawn,   Back in the Fall of 2019 with Covid looming I considered getting a pneumonia vaccine.  I went as far as getting in line and reading the pamphlet and saw the warning about not getting it if you ever had a reaction to diphtheria.  I instantly recalled a tetanus booster shot in 1971 that caused a severe reaction.  Tetanus booster shots include diphtheria.  I haven't had a tetanus shot since, but recent lab results show that I have many timed the immunity required.  Good Luck.

      Since we don't know what you reacting to when you get vaccinated, we can't say whether or not the pneumonia vaccine will cause a reaction. Is there some common ingredient in these vaccines that is causing a reaction. I mean, with many vaccines the antigen is delivered via a solution containing albumin (chicken egg protein). Some people are allergic to chicken egg protein so they can't take those vaccines. That kind of thing. When you say your "numbers are off the chart", what numbers do you refer to? Are you referring to celiac disease antibodies?

      Cape Cod potato chips are gluten-free, according to the company. I've never had a problem with these.

      I'm 63  Thank you for the article. I have worked with Dietitian at Mayo and also had breath testing done. They felt I was following a strict gluten-free diet along with eliminating sugar alcohol and chicory root. Also don't eat a lot meat, eggs and peppers. Because I get so sick I use only gluten-free products for my skin food medicine my pet food is gluten-free and I live alone so all my cooking stuff is all brand new prior to being diagnosed.  I buy only organic certified gluten free products and if not sure  look up or just don't eat or use. The Dermatologist at Mayo gave me a list of gluten-free products that I can use. ( personal products,  laundry detergent, I use vinegar and baking soda for cleaning ) . I ask family and friends to not bring  anything  in to my home that has gluten in it. I have tried  everything and my numbers still off the charts.   So as for the pneumonia vaccine I question if it has anything in it that will react negative in me?
