I was so excited to find these at Kroger yesterday. I opened the caramel appel in the car. Not only did it look like a dog biscuit, it tasted like cardboard. Tonight, I gave the cocoa loco a try. Chocolate cardboard. Now, the aftertaste is good and I'm craving another one dispite the flavorless cardboard texture. I'm also thinking of ways to use them in another dish. Ice cream and brownies? Crust for cinnamon apples. I just so dissappointed in my purchase.

Let's start the Gluten Free Tastes Like Soil Hall of Shame. Enjoy Life's No Oatmeal Oatmeal Cookies are definitely on there, too. All Glutino's energy bars-- oh my badness. What else? Everybody play!

Aw maaaaan, I just bought some of those to take to Ecuador with me. Le sigh.

I, for one, do not want to get within 17 yards of Ener-G bread. Ever. Again. *Shudders*

Oh, have any of you ever tried the Hol-Grain brown rice "crackers"? They taste... worse than soil. I can't even call them crackers without the quotes, because I'm not entirely sure they were meant to be eaten.

:lol: I tried those once, way back when.....you could use em to tile a roof!

However, I admit I do like the Enjoy Life Coco Loco bars :ph34r: I always keep a few in my purse--they go good with my tea at Starbucks. I think I've convinced myself they taste like a brownie.....The apple ones do tase like cardboard, though, as do the no-oatmeal cookies.

Enjoy Life bagles.6 dollars a bag,the size of a nickle, and the texture of a dish sponge.I think that was the end of my attempting to purchase"replacement" breads.

I agree on the Enjoy Life bars........don't even remember what flavor I tried way back when. Can't stand their granola cereal either.

Oh....and Glutino frozen pizza crusts......blech!!!

I like the caramel apple ones. ;) I think of them more as 'food bars' than 'snack bars'. (Think clif bar...)

I tried an Envirokids peanut butter rice bar last night, in the name of research. It was surprisingly big for the caloric value, and wasn't bad, but didn't really feel like it was doing much for me nutritionally. I could live without ever having another one, but it could grow on me.

I don't mind the Glutino frozen pizza crusts, but it's been so long since I had regular pizza that I'm not sure I appreciate what I'm missing. That said, I probably won't be buying them again any time soon, because they're not good enough to warrant the price.

      Son's legs shaking

      Hi, My 7 year daughter has complained of this in the past, which I thought were part of her glutening symptom, but more recently I have come to figure out it's part of her histamine overload symptom. This one symptom was part of her broader profile, which included irritability, extreme hunger, confusion, post-nasal drip. You might want to look up "histamine...

      Son's legs shaking

      My 5yo was diagnosed with celiac last year by being tested after his sister was diagnosed. We are very strict on the gluten-free diet, but unsure what his reactions are as he was diagnosed without many symptoms other than low ferritin. He had a school party where his teacher made gluten-free gingerbread men. I almost said no because she made it in her...

      Bob red mill gluten free oats

      Not necessarily. The "Gluten Free" label means not more than 20ppm of gluten in the product which is often not enough for super sensitive celiacs. You would need to be looking for "Certified Gluten Free" (GFCO endorsed) which means no more than 10ppm of gluten. Having said that, "Gluten Free" doesn't mean that there will necessarily be more gluten than "Certified...

      Disaccharide deficient, confusing biopsy results, no blood test

      I think it is wise to seek a second opinion from a GI doc and to go on a gluten free diet in the meantime. The GI doc may look at all the evidence, including the biopsy report, and conclude you don't need anything else to reach a dx of celiac disease and so, there would be no need for a gluten challenge. But if the GI doc does want to do more testing, you...

      Hi,  My 7 year daughter has complained of this in the past, which I thought were part of her glutening symptom, but more recently I have come to figure out it's part of her histamine overload symptom. This one symptom was part of her broader profile, which included irritability, extreme hunger, confusion, post-nasal drip. You might want to look up "histamine intolerance". I wish I had known of this at the time of her diagnosis, life would have been much easier.  I hope you are able to figure out.

We are very strict on the gluten-free diet, but unsure what his reactions are as he was diagnosed without many symptoms other than low ferritin.  He had a school party where his teacher made gluten-free gingerbread men. I almost said no because she made it in her kitchen but I thought it would be ok.  Next day and for a few after his behavior is awful. Hitting, rude, disrespectful. Mainly he kept saying his legs were shaking. Is this a gluten exposure symptom that anyone else gets? Also the bad behavior?

The GI doc may look at all the evidence, including the biopsy report, and conclude you don't need anything else to reach a dx of celiac disease and so, there would be no need for a gluten challenge. But if the GI doc does want to do more testing, you can worry about the gluten challenge at that time. But between now and the time of the appointment, if your symptoms improve on a gluten free diet, that is more evidence. Just keep in mind that if a gluten challenge is called for, the bare minimum challenge length is two weeks of the daily consumption of at least 10g of gluten, which is about the amount found in 4-6 slices of wheat bread. But, I would count on giving it four weeks to be sure.
