I am looking for a cereal-fiber bar, something I can grab and go. I have tried just about everthing out there, Larabars, Glutino, Enjoy Life, you name it I think I have tried it. I have even tried the meal replacement bars but that is not what I am looking for too many calories. Most of the bars I have tried I really don't like the taste of either or the texture. (I am a texture person).

So here is what I am looking for, maybe something with gluten free ricekripes and or oats or any kind of gluten free kind of ceral, I am dairy free but know how to sub for it. Looking for something high in fiber, dried fruit, chocolate chips, peanut butter is fine, nuts sometimes. honey, brown sugar, whatever to sweeten works for me. Low in calories, high protien, easy to make. I suffer from low blood sugar so something that would help me if I am crashing. Something that I can always have in my purse. Am I asking too much. :lol:

So there it is if anybody can help I would surely appreciate it.

Thanks bunches.

Chrissy :)

I really like the Koala Chocolate Crispy Rice Bars. Not sure if that's what your looking for, but I think they are great!

Soy Joy also has some great bars. Not quite sure of the fiber content, but they taste really good and the texture is awesome. Something like a biscotti.

I eat kind bars, boomi bars and Ruth's power flax bars. My oldest son likes them too!

Here is a chewy granola bar recipe you may like. These are homemade but easy and really good:

1 cup brown sugar(lightly packed)

2/3 cup peanut butter

1/2 cup light corn syrup

1/2 cup butter or margarine, melted

2 teaspoons vanilla

3 cups oatmeal

1/2 cup coconut (optional)

1/2 cup sunflower seeds

1/2 cup raisins

2 tablespoons sesame seeds

1 cup chocolate chips(optional)

Add any dried fruit you like or chopped nuts

Heat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 9x13 pan. In large bowl combine sugar, peanut butter, corn syrup, margarine & vanilla, mixing well. Add all remaining ingredients. Press evenly in pan. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes or until light golden brown. Allow to cool for 1 hour.

I bake these,let them cool, then cut into bars and wrap individually. They keep well & taste great. Hope this helps!

      In the U.S., most regular wheat breads are required to be enriched with certain B-vitamins and iron, but gluten-free breads are not required to be. Since many gluten-free products are not enriched, we usually encourage people with celiac disease to consider a multivitamin.  In the early 1900s, refined white flour replaced whole grains, and people began developing serious vitamin-deficiency diseases: Beriberi → caused by a lack of thiamin (vitamin B1) Pellagra → caused by a lack of niacin (vitamin B3) Anemia → linked to low iron and lack of folate By the 1930s–40s, these problems were common in the U.S., especially in poorer regions. Public-health officials responded by requiring wheat flour and the breads made from it to be “enriched” with thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, and iron. Folic acid was added later (1998) to prevent neural-tube birth defects. Why gluten-free bread isn’t required to be enriched? The U.S. enrichment standards were written specifically for wheat flour. Gluten-free breads use rice, tapioca, corn, sorghum, etc.—so they fall outside that rule—but they probably should be for the same reason wheat products are.

      Keep in mind that there are drawbacks to a formal diagnosis, for example more expensive life and private health insurance, as well as possibly needing to disclose it on job applications. Normally I am in favor of the formal diagnosis process, but if you've already figured out that you can't tolerate gluten and will likely stay gluten-free anyway, I wanted to at least mention the possible negative sides of having a formal diagnosis. While I understand wanting a formal diagnosis, it sounds like she will likely remain gluten-free either way, even if she should test negative for celiac disease (Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If her symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet, it would likely signal NCGS).

      Thank you all so much for your advice and thoughts. We ended up having another scope and more bloodwork last week. All serological markers continue to increase, and the doc who did the scope said there villous atrophy visible on the scope — but we just got the biopsy pathology report back, and all it says is, “Duodenal mucosa with patchy increased intraepithelial lymphocytes, preserved villous architecture, and patchy foveolar metaplasia,” which we are told is still inconclusive…  We will have her go gluten free again anyway, but how soon would you all test again, if at all? How valuable is an official dx in a situation like this?

      Thanks for this Russ, and good to see that it is fortified. I spend too much time looking for M&S gluten-free Iced Spiced Buns to have ever noticed this! That's interesting, Scott.  Have manufacturers ever said why that should be the case?
