Larabars, Bumble Bars, thinkGreen, PranaBars and Kind bars are gluten free (some of these are also dairy free, but check carefully). Try your local Whole Foods store.

Personally, I LOVE LOVE LOVE the Kind bars - they actually have whole nuts and large chunks of dried fruit in them - and they are crunchy! I'm not a fan of those weird gummy non-crunchy bars. I absolutely hated the Bumble Bars - one bite, needed to wash out my mouth with water. Larabars and pranaBars are ok (taste good, icky texture). I have a bunch of thinkGreens, but I haven't had one.

Dairy-free?

The PranaBar I have in front of me claims to be vegan.

The thinkGreen bar contains milk.

The Larabar in front of me is soy and dairy free, but I am not sure they all are. You're gonna have to check.

Kind bars vary. I don't have any right now, but I recall that some have dairy, some don't. I don't recall on the soy.

Kind and Lara bars are easily found in grocery/health stores in my area. Harry's (Whole Foods) carries Bumble Bars, Mrs. Mays and a few others. I prefer Kind Bars hands down. Some of them do have soy so if that's an issue for you you'll need to read the labels.

You can also make your own! I make these Open Original Shared Linkthat Bernice Mast posted on Gluten Free examiner, and they are not only super tasty, but they're very simple to make. I've modified her recipe just a bit, adding some toasted, unsweetened coconut, cinnamon and a pinch of salt. I usually keep one of these stashed in my bag, for whenever I need an easy snack, or if I'm stranded somewhere and am unsure of whether there's safe food nearby.

      Yes, I, too, have osteoporosis from years of malabsorption, too.  Thiamine and magnesium are what keep the calcium in place in the bones.  If one is low in magnesium, boron, selenium, zinc, copper, and other trace minerals, ones bone heath can suffer.  We need more than just calcium and Vitamin D for strong bones.  Riboflavin B 2, Folate B 9 and Pyridoxine B 6 also contribute to bone formation and strength.   Have you had your thyroid checked?  The thyroid is important to bone health as well.  The thyroid uses lots of thiamine, so a poorly functioning thyroid will affect bone heath.

      That sounds so very likely in my case! I will absolutely ask my doctor on my next bone check coming up in March... Thanks a lot!

      Calcium levels as measured in the blood can be quite deceiving as the body will rob calcium from the bones to meet demands for it by other bodily functions. Also, supplementing with calcium can be counterproductive as it tends to raise gut pH and decrease absorption. More often than not, the problem is poor absorption to begin with rather than deficiency of intake amounts in the diet. Calcium needs an acidic environment to be absorbed. This is why so many people on PPIs develop osteoporosis. The PPIs raise gut pH. And some people have high gut PH for other reasons. Low pH equates to a more acidic environment whereas high pH equates to a more basic (less acidic) environment.

      Kind thanks for all this valuable information! Since my Folate was/is low and also my Calcium, there IS a chance I am low in B vitamins... My doctor only measured the first two, oh and Zinc as I has twisted her arm and guess what, that was mega low too. So who knows, until I get myself tested properly, what else I am deficient in... I did a hair mineral test recently and it said to avoid All sources of Calcium. But this is confusing for me as my Ca is so low and I have osteoporosis because of this. It is my Adjusted Ca that is on the higher side and shouldn't be. So am not sure why the mineral test showed high Ca (well, it was medium in the test but relative to my lowish Magnesium, also via hair sample, it was high I was told). But anyway, thanks again for the VitB download, I will look into this most certainly!

      Hello good afternoon, I was wondering if anyone has ever brought their anti-allergy pills? I have been wanting to use their Cetirizine HCI 10mg. They are called HealthA2Z and distributed by Allegiant Health.I’m also Asthmatic and these allergies are terrible for me but I also want to be sure they don’t have any sort of gluten compound.    I have tried calling them but to no avail. Has anyone ever used them? If so, did you had any problems or no problems at all?    thank you
