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.

      Bitters for digestion?

      By AnnaNZ · Posted

      I forgot to mention my suspicion of the high amount of glyphosate allowed to be used on wheat in USA and NZ and Australia. My weight was 69kg mid-2023, I went down to 60kg in March 2024 and now hover around 63kg (just after winter here in NZ) - wheat-free and very low alcohol consumption.

      Bitters for digestion?

      By AnnaNZ · Posted

      Hi Jess Thanks so much for your response and apologies for the long delay in answering. I think I must have been waiting for something to happen before I replied and unfortunately it fell off the radar... I have had an upper endoscopy and colonoscopy in the meantime (which revealed 'minor' issues only). Yes I do think histamine intolerance is one of the problems. I have been lowering my histamine intake and feeling a lot better. And I do think it is the liver which is giving the pain. I am currently taking zinc (I have had three low zinc tests now), magnesium, B complex, vitamin E and a calcium/Vitamin C mix. I consciously think about getting vitamin D outside. (Maybe I should have my vitamin D re-tested now...) I am still 100% gluten-free. My current thoughts on the cause of the problems is some, if not all, of the following: Genetically low zinc uptake, lack of vitamin D, wine drinking (alcohol/sulphites), covid, immune depletion, gastroparesis, dysbiosis, leaky gut, inability to process certain foods I am so much better than late 2023 so feel very positive 🙂

      4.5 years into diagnosis, eating gluten-free and still struggling: would love support, tips, & stories

      Hi and thank you very much for your detailed response! I am so glad that the protocol worked so well for you and helped you to get your health back on track. I've heard of it helping other people too. One question I have is how did you maintain your weight on this diet? I really rely on nuts and rice to keep me at a steady weight because I tend to lose weight quickly and am having a hard time envisioning how to make it work, especially when not being able to eat things like nuts and avocados. In case you have any input, woud be great to hear it! Friendly greetings.

      Is this celiac?

      By Hmart · Posted

      I was not taking any medications previous to this. I was a healthy 49 yo with some mild stomach discomfort. I noticed the onset of tinnitus earlier this year and I had Covid at the end of June. My first ‘flare-up’ with these symptoms was in August and I was eating gluten like normal. I had another flare-up in September and then got an upper endo at the end of September that showed possible celiac. My blood test came a week later. While I didn’t stop eating gluten before I had the blood test, I had cut back on food and gluten both. I had a flare-up with this symptoms after one week of gluten free but wasn’t being crazy careful. Then I had another flare-up this week. I think it might have been caused by Trader Joe’s baked tofu which I didn’t realize had wheat. But I don’t know if these flare-ups are caused by gluten or if there’s something else going on. I am food journaling and tracking all symptoms. I have lost 7 pounds in the last 10 days.

      Welcome to the forum, @Hmart! There are other medical conditions besides celiac disease that can cause villous atrophy as well as some medications and for some people, the dairy protein casein. So, your question is a valid one. Especially in view of the fact that your antibody testing was negative, though there are also some seronegative celiacs. So, do you get reactions every time you consume gluten? If you were to purposely consume a slice of bread would you be certain to develop the symptoms you describe?
