Kind Bars

I bought a few of these last week for the first time...and love them! The macadamia and apricot is really good, and I got them on sale for $1 each at Sprouts, so I was thrilled.

But, here is my question. I am starting to feel like a freak who reacts to the most miniscule amount of gluten. Last night, I had a few heart palpatations, which I only get if I've been glutened. Today, I'm feeling really cruddy, going through what I ate, yada yada yada. I don't want it to be these bars, they are so good, and actually kept me full for a few hours, I love them! But they are the only new thing in my diet.......has anyone else had a problem? Thought I would just ask, thanks :rolleyes:

I called the company about these bars when Starbucks began substituting them for the orange cake. The man there told me that they are made on the same equipment as oats but there's no cross contact with wheat, barley or rye.

Might you be reacting to the oats? I didn't try them as I'm positive I would.

Thanks, now I'm not feeling like such a freak :D I do react to oats, even if they are gluten free. Darn oats....they are really good bars too. Oh well, I'm sure my neighbor will like them!

I react badly to even gluten free oats. I eat the kind bars all the time and have hadno problems with them.

I practically live on kind, think, and larabars. I have never had a reaction to them.

I love the Mango macadamia. Delicious and no reactions here.

I love the Kind bars and am very sensitive (oats are a no no, even the gluten free ones). I've never had a problem with them as long as they were the gluten free ones. Some of them are not gluten free.

Who knows then...I'm weird. I'll try them again at a later time, they are really good and a great staple to have on hand. Thanks.

I am very sensitive and react to oats, and I do react to Kind bars, but not too badly.

      What are your daily meals? Guilty pleasure snacks? Protein bars? I feel when looking for gluten free foods they are filled with sugar cholesterol. Looking for healthy gluten-free protein bars. Something to fill since sometimes I feel like not to eat anything. Especially if on vacation and unsure of cross contamination I figure go with a salad and protein bar to fill and play it safe.

      Unfortunately, there is presently no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out. NCGS is thought to be much more common than celiac disease. We know that celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder but the mechanism of NCGS is less clear. Both call for an elimination of gluten from the diet.

      Thanks for your reply Trents…most appreciated.  I am unfamiliar with celiac labs terminology so I wanted to know if the presence of HLA variants (DA:101, DA:105, DQB1:0301 and DQB1:0501) that the labs detected had any merit in predisposing one to be more sensitive to gluten/carbs than the general population?  Also,  I found what you said about NCGS very interesting and I appreciate you mentioning that.  I’ve worked hard to research and advocate for myself with my Hematologist and now with a new GI, since my bowel surgery and to maintain my Vitamin B12 health concurrent with keeping my levels of Iron in the optimal range. I’ve been tested for SIBO (do not have it), biopsy showed negative for HPylori, and have had Fecal studies done (nothing showed up) and I understand how a loss of a large amount of bowel could be highly impacting re: SIBO, malabsorption and motility issues. So I’ve managed pretty well diet and elimination-wise until just recently. That said, this new problem with extreme bloating, distention and upper girth, NAFLD just occured over the last 4 months so it is new for me and I thought celiac might be a possible issue. I’ll probably just continue on in this less gluten/carbs seem to be better for me and see how reintroducing certain foods go.  Thanks again.

      Thanks bumped it up and now take all 3 vitamins 2 capsules each with the super b complex at breakfast. I will give it some time to see if I notice a difference. I am going to track my eating daily diary on a myfitness pal app to see if the "claimed" gluten free foods bother me or not.

      Please can anyone help. I was diagnosed on 23rd December and I am trying my best to get my head around all the things to look out for. I have read that yeast extract is not to be eaten by coeliacs. Why? And is this all yeast extract. Or is this information wrong. Thanks.
