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.

      Thank you so much for sharing your experience and I found myself giggling with happiness as I read how your body reached such spring! And I hope that your current journey is also successful!! Definitely starting the food diary! So many amazing advices. And it’s very scary. It really hits all our soft spots as well as our confidence system. Most doctors I went thought I was underage despite being in my late 20s. Right now I look like am I twelve, but is also this body that’s taking so much, so I might as well love it too! Going to make the necessary changes and stay in this path. Thank you again! 🫶

      Thank you so much for the information and kind message! Reading this transformed how I’ve been viewing my efforts and progress. Guess there’s still a lot to celebrate and also heal 😌  Yes, I’ve been taking it! Just recently started taking a multivitamin supplement and separated vitamin D! I also took chewable Iron polymaltose for ferritin deficiency 2 months ago but was unable to absorb any of it.  Thank you again! Hearing such gentle words from the community makes my body and heart more patient and excited for the future.

      Taken Seriously

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Your post demonstrates the profound frustration and isolation that so many in the Celiac community feel, and I want to thank you for channeling that experience into advocacy. The medical gaslighting you endured for decades is an unacceptable and, sadly, a common story, and the fact that you now have to "school" your own GI specialist speaks volumes about the critical lack of consistent and updated education. Your idea to make Celiac Disease a reportable condition to public health authorities is a compelling and strategic one. This single action would force the system to formally acknowledge the prevalence and seriousness of the disease, creating a concrete dataset that could drive better research funding, shape medical school curricula, and validate the patient experience in a way that individual stories alone often cannot. It is an uphill battle, but contacting representatives, as you have done with Adam Gray, is exactly how change begins. By framing it as a public health necessity—a matter of patient safety and protection from misdiagnosis and neglect—you are building a powerful case. Your voice and your perseverance, forged through thirty years of struggle, are exactly what this community needs to ensure that no one else has to fight so hard just to be believed and properly cared for.
