so last night at work i took a bite of my pecan larabar. i eat a larabar at least once a day so i definately know what they taste like and this one tasted DISGUSTING...nothing like what they normally taste like...almost like there was nail polish remover in it. i threw it out. then today, i brought another larabar to school....took a bite and it tasted the same as the one from last night!! gross! i couldnt figure out what could possibly be causing it but i just thought of something....could the dates in the bar somehow have started to ferment? and thats why it tasted so bad? anyone know anything about fermenting fruits? any info or ideas are appriciated.

I don't really know about dates fermenting, they are generally very long lasting. But don't throw that packaging away. Call their customer service line. They will refund or coupon you but the main thing is there are a lot of that bad lot of bars out there. The company will not know this unless customers like you tell them. They can pull them off the shelf and someone else won't have your bad experience.

a few months ago i decided to try Larabars because so many people on this board had raved about how great they are. i tried a few different flavors and couldn't find one i liked. i got an alcohol-ish taste with each bite that made my stomach turn. i figured it was just my taste buds but maybe i got a couple of bad bars?

just my two cents...

Can someone fill me in on these Larabars. I really would like to try them but have not been able to locate any information about them. I also suffer with diverticulitis, therefore I cannot have any nuts in the mix.

Thanks

Maybe the dates were moldy <_<

Good suggestion to contact the company! I can't eat Lara bars these days (I'm pretty sure all the bars have nuts)... but I've never had one that tasted like nail polish remover. Bleh.

yeah i definately plan on contacting the company.

lee-lee, you must have gotten a few bad bars too because normally they dont taste alcoholy at all.

wenmin, unfortunatly most have nuts in them or say "may contain occassional nut shells" ...you can order them for a good price at drugstore.com but i would avoid them if you cant have nuts.

All Larabar varieties contain nuts. Here is a link to their website. Open Original Shared Link

      GI DX celiac despite neg serology and no biopsy

      There are other Celiac genes. HLA DQ 2 and HLA DQ 8 show up in people from Northern European descent.   People of Mediterranean descent have HLA DQ 7.  People of Asian descent have HLA DQ 9.   There's other Indigenous populations that have other HLA genes that code for Celiac disease.   Are you still having symptoms?   What do you include in your diet?  Are you vegetarian? Are you taking any prescription medication?  Omeprazole?  Metformin?   Do you have anemia?  Thyroid problems? Are you taking any vitamins or herbal supplements?

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      There are eight essential B vitamins.  They are all water soluble.  Any excess of B vitamins is easily excreted by the kidneys.   Thiamine is Vitamin B 1.  Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  Benfotiamine and TTFD are forms of Thiamine that the body can utilize very easily.   The form of Thiamine in the supplements you mentioned is Thiamine Mononitrate, a form that the body does not absorb well and does not utilize well.  Only about thirty percent of the amount on the label is actually absorbed in the small intestine.  Less than that can actually be used by the body.  Manufacturers add thiamine mononitrate to their products because it's cheap and shelf-stable.  Thiamine and other B vitamins break down when exposed to light and heat and over time.  Thiamine Mononitrate is a form that does not break down over time sitting on a shelf waiting for someone to buy them.  What makes Thiamine Mononitrate shelf stable makes it difficult for the body to turn into a useable form.  In fact, it takes more thiamine to turn it into a useable form.   Gastrointestinal Beriberi is a localized shortage of Thiamine in the gastrointestinal tract.  High carbohydrate meals can result in gastrointestinal symptoms of Gastric Beriberi.  Fiber is a type of carbohydrate.  So, high fiber/carbohydrate snacks could trigger Gastric Beriberi.   Since blood tests for Thiamine and other B vitamins are so inaccurate, the World Health Organization recommends trying Thiamine and looking for health improvement because it's safe and nontoxic.

      Thanks very interesting I have to see if I should take these 2 vitamins along with my multi and super Vit B complex or if its too much or would hurt me. I don't have any other health issues but would love to see if this improves anything especially to feel stronger build muscle.

      How can you be negative for HLA?   What markers did you have here? Curiouser and curiouser...
