If they are the same ones I looked at they would not be safe IMHO. I would react to them

These were in the ingredients from one site that sells them

100% Certified Organic Ingredients: Almond Butter, Date Paste, Agave Nectar, Brown Rice Protein, Raisins, Flax Sprout Powder, Soy Sprout Powder, Quinoa Sprout Powder, Sesame Seeds, Brown Rice Crisps, Wheat Grass Juice, Barley Grass Juice Powder, Hawaiian Spirulina, Blueberry Powder, Raspberry Powder, Beet Juice Powder, Broccoli Sprouts & Love.

Just heard from the company:

Our 68g. bars are tested according to European standards to be <3ppm gluten while most products you find on the shelf today that claim to be gluten free are only <20ppm according to American standards.

Wheat Grass and Barley Grass do not contain gluten as these are only the tips that are used and not stems or grains.

If you have any questions please feel free to contact us at your earliest convenience.

Thank you for your support!

I would make sure I was feeling well for at least two weeks before I ate any of those bars, well if I would even think of eating them anyway. I do know that I have reacted badly to wheat grass juice that was technically gluten free and there are others on the board who have reacted also. You may want to do a board search or post a question about whether others consume the barley and wheat grass before you consume.

There are a few for sure gluten free bars available that are pretty good, there is Lara bars, Bumble Bars (those are sesame seed or cashew and may have other varities) and I recently found these bars called NuGoFree that are really good also. My favorites in those are the Chocolate Crunch and the Carrot Cake, they are made with rice crisps and are dairy, soy and gluten free.

      KAN-101 Treatment for Coeliac Disease

      By Russ H · Posted

      This treatment looks promising. Its aim is to provoke immune tolerance of gluten, possibly curing the disease. It passed the phase 2 trial with flying colours, and I came across a post on Reddit by one of the study volunteers. Apparently, the results were good enough that the company is applying for fast track approval.  Anokion Announces Positive Symptom Data from its Phase 2 Trial Evaluating KAN-101 for the Treatment of Celiac Disease https://www.reddit.com/r/Celiac/comments/1krx2wh/kan_101_trial_put_on_hold/

      Gluten related ??

      By Colleen H · Posted

      Hi everyone  This has been a crazy year so far... How many people actually get entire sensory overload from gluten or something similar ?  My jaw is going nuts ..and that nerve is affecting my upper back and so on ...  Bones even hurt.  Brain fog. Etc  I had eggs seemed fine.   Then my aid cooked a chicken stir fry in the microwave because my food order shorted a couple key items .   I was so hungry but I noticed light breading and some ingredients with SOY !!! Why are we suffering with soy ? This triggered a sensitivity to bananas and gluten-free yogurt it seems like it's a cycle that it goes on.  The tiniest amount of something gets me I'm guessing the tiny bit of breading that I took one tiny nibble of ...yikes ..im cringing from it .. Feels like my stomach is going to explode yet still very hungry 😔  How long does this last?! Thank you so much

      Celiac getting dentures

      By gfmom06 · Posted

      I have had orthodontic work done. The 3M invisalign material was no problem. BUT my retainers are another matter. They seemed okay for a few months. Now, however, they cause a burning sensation on my tongue, gums and insides of my lips. The burning sensation is now spreading to my throat. I notice it when I breathe. This is annoying and interferes with my enjoyment of eating. I am visiting with my provider tomorrow. We'll see where this goes from here.
