Just Tried My First Larabar ...

To all that mentioned Larabars before, I want to thank you.

I only found about 8 varieties (none of the ones I really wanted to try like the lemon and the lime ones) at the market today.

I bought four different ones. They had a lot of the nut and chocolate ones and I am not keen on chocolate (yeah, I know I'm a freak .. :o )

and I tend to prefer fruit to chocolate.

I bought:

Chocolate coconut chew,

Apple pie,

Tropical fruit

and

PB & J (damn, I thought I bought the cherry pie ...)

I tried the choc. coconut chew and it was very good.

Very solid. I could only eat half and then I ate the other half a few hours later.

Filling and tasty and not overly sweet either.

I am preparing for testing at the end of this month so I'll start getting them in earnest when I go off the gluten again after the tests (which I am sooooooooo looking forward to, as I all know that you can well imagine!!). Really great things. So thanks to everyone who mentioned them here. How can one feel deprived of eating choices when there such things as Aleia's almond cookies,

Larabars and Food for Life brown rice tortillas. I don't feel deprived at all :D

I love Lara Bars! I always keep a couple in my purse...my all time favorite is the Ginger Snap. I have one with a cup of tea just about every day :D

If you like the PB&J, you gotta try the Peanut Butter Cookie ;)

I like larabars allright, but I prefer Kind Bars, Boomi Bars, and my new find Ruth's Flaxpower CranNut bar. I have to fight my 9 year old over the flax bar. :rolleyes:

Does anybody know about the possibility of oat cc in Larabars? I've had to begin keeping a food journal after my celiac disease came ROARING back last year (lost 40 lbs. and have had an onset of severe osteoporosis - a recent endoscope showed flattened villa after 12 years of good scopes....alas.) I've been eating Larabars recently but had one today and noticed tummy trouble. I'm happy so many of you can enjoy them but I guess I'm going to have to strike them off my list.

      Celiac and allergic to common subs and adds in prepared foods

      By DAR girl · Posted

      Looking for help sourcing gluten-free products that do not contain potato or corn derived ingredients. I have other autoimmune conditions (Psoriatic Arthritis and Sjogrens) so I’m looking for prepared foods as I have fatigue and cannot devote a lot of time to baking my own treats.

      Disregarded

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I am so sorry you're going through this. It's completely understandable to feel frustrated, stressed, and disregarded after such a long and difficult health journey. It's exhausting to constantly advocate for yourself, especially when you're dealing with so many symptoms and positive diagnoses like SIBO, while still feeling unwell. The fact that you have been diligently following the diet without relief is a clear sign that something else is going on, and your doctors should be investigating other causes or complications, not dismissing your very real suffering.

      Paying for my own Celiac screening at WalkInLab so a positive result doesn’t become part of my medical history

      By Oldturdle · Posted

      It is just so sad that health care in the United States has come to this.  Health insurance should be available to everyone, not just the healthy or the rich.  My heart goes out to you.  I would not hesitate to have the test and pay for it myself.  My big concern would be how you could keep the results truly private.  I am sure that ultimately, you could not.  A.I. is getting more and more pervasive, and all data is available somewhere.  I don't know if you could give a fake name, or pay for your test with cash.  I certainly would not disclose any positive results on a private insurance application.  As I understand it, for an official diagnosis, an MD needs to review your labs and make the call.  If you end up in the ER, or some other situation, just request a gluten free diet, and say it is because you feel better when you don't eat gluten.      Hang in there, though.  Medicare is not that far away for you, and it will remove a lot of stress from your health care concerns.  You will even be able to "come out of the closet" about being Celiac!

      Yes, I've posted a few times about two companies: Request a Test and Ulta Labs. Also, pretty much we can all request any test we want (with the possible exception of the N protein Covid test and I'm sure a couple of others) with Lab Corp (or Pixel by Lab Corp) and Quest. I much prefer Lab Corp for their professionalism, ease of service and having it together administratively, at least in DC. And just so you know, Request a Test uses Lab Corp and Quest anyway, while Ulta Labs uses only Quest. Ulta Labs is cheaper than Request a Test, but I am tired of dealing with Quest, so I don't use them so much.

      Does Dailymed.nlm.nih.gov site have filters for gluten?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      PS - I think you meant this site, but I don't believe it has been updated in years: http://glutenfreedrugs.com/ so it is best to use: You can search this site for prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/
