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!

      Possibly. Your total IGA (Immunoglobulin A, Qn, Serum) is actually high so you are not IGA deficient. In the absence of IGA deficiency, the most reliable celiac antibody test would be the t-Transglutaminase (tTG) IgA for which your score is within normal range. There are other things besides celiac disease that might cause an elevated DGP-IGA (Deamidated Gliadin Abs, lgA) for which you do have a positive score. It might also be of concern that your total IGA is elevated as that can indicate some other health problems, some of which are serious.  Had you been practicing a gluten free or a reduced gluten free diet prior to the blood draw? Talk to your physician about these things. I would also seek an endoscopy/biopsy of the small bowel to check for damage to the villous lining, which is the gold standard diagnostic test for celiac disease.

      Test results as follows: Deamidated Gliadin Abs, lgA 40 H (normal range 0-19) Deamidated Gliadin Abs, IgG 4 (0-19) t-Transglutaminase (tTG) IgA <2 (0-3) t-Transglutaminase (tTG) IgG <2 (0-5) Endomysial Antibody IgA Negative (Negative) Immunoglobulin A, Qn, Serum 535 H (87-352) Do I have celiac?

      how long does it take for the genetic blood test for celiac to come back? I saw the GI today, she was great. She says I def have an issue with gluten and that my symptoms align more with celiac disease than NCGS, so she's doing the genetic testing, Ordered a test for SIBO but said that's just to cover all bases, she doesn't think I have that. If the blood work comes back negative for the genes, then I will cancel the endoscopy. If positive, I will try the 2 week gluten challenge and get the endoscopy done. If I can't manage the gluten challenge (I had HORRIBLE symptoms last time and quit after 12 days) then we'll just assume it's celiac disease and go from there. She says she does a full nutrient panel on all her pts every year, that was nice to hear.I'm on so many supplements it would be nice to only have to get the ones I truly need! so yeh, really anxious about the test results for the genes!! I have an identical twin sister so I'd need to tell her if it's positive, she'd prob want to get tested too. *interesting note: when I said if the blood work comes back that I don't have the genes, then I'm in the clear - she said, well,,,,,,not necessarily. But she didn't want to go into as we had a lot to go over. I did make a  mental note of that comment and will ask her when I see her next time.   she was very thorough! I was impressed! she even checked- up on some lab work I had done that my Endo ordered. I like her, I am looking forward to seeing her again. I think I'll get some good advice and info from her she also complimented me on my diet.   said it was a very gut friendly and healthy diet

      I'm not sure why "colonoscopy" keeps coming up for you, again it would be an endoscopy to diagnose celiac disease, but it seems that Kaiser should still have your records. If you were diagnosed by them in the 1990's using a blood test and endoscopy, then you definitely have celiac disease, and hopefully you've been gluten-free since that time. You should be able to contact Kaiser for those records.

      This sounds like a GP who is ignorant regarding coeliac disease. The risk with consuming gluten for several days is that it triggers the coeliac immune response, leading to raised auto-antibodies and active disease for several months. People may not even be aware of symptoms during this process, but it is causing damage to the body. As trents has said, the gut lining normally recovers on a strict gluten-free diet, and this happens much faster in children than in adults.
