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!

      There were some interesting talks, particularly Prof Ludvig Stollid's talk on therapeutics for coeliac disease.    https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLRcl2mPE0WdigRtJPvylUJbkCx263KF_t

      Thank you @trents for letting me know you experience something similar thanks @knitty kitty for your response and resources.  I will be following up with my doctor about these results and I’ll read the articles you sent. Thanks - I really appreciate you all.

      You're right, doctors usually only test Vitamin D and B12.  Both are really important, but they're not good indicators of deficiencies in the other B vitamins.  Our bodies are able to store Vitamin B12 and Vitamin D in the liver for up to a year or longer.  The other B vitamins can only be stored for much shorter periods of time.  Pyridoxine B 6 can be stored for several months, but the others only a month or two at the longest.  Thiamine stores can be depleted in as little as three days.  There's no correlation between B12 levels and the other B vitamins' levels.  Blood tests can't measure the amount of vitamins stored inside cells where they are used.  There's disagreement as to what optimal vitamin levels are.  The Recommended Daily Allowance is based on the minimum daily amount needed to prevent disease set back in the forties when people ate a totally different diet and gruesome experiments were done on people.  Folate  requirements had to be updated in the nineties after spina bifida increased and synthetic folic acid was mandated to be added to grain products.  Vitamin D requirements have been updated only in the past few years.   Doctors aren't required to take as many hours of nutritional education as in the past.  They're educated in learning institutions funded by pharmaceutical corporations.  Natural substances like vitamins can't be patented, so there's more money to be made prescribing pharmaceuticals than vitamins.   Also, look into the Autoimmune Protocol Diet, developed by Dr. Sarah Ballantyne, a Celiac herself.  Her book The Paleo Approach has been most helpful to me.  You're very welcome.  I'm glad I can help you around some stumbling blocks while on this journey.    Keep me posted on your progress!  Best wishes!

      So interesting that you stated you had sub clinical vitamin deficiencies. When I was first diagnosed with celiac disease (silent), the vitamin levels my doctor did test for were mostly within normal range (lower end) with the exception of vitamin D. I believe he tested D, B12, magnesium, and iron.  I wondered how it was possible that I had celiac disease without being deficient in everything!  I’m wondering now if I have subclinical vitamin deficiencies as well, because even though I remain gluten free, I struggle with insomnia, low energy, body aches, etc.  It’s truly frustrating when you stay true to the gluten-free diet, yet feel fatigued most days. I’ll definitely try the B-complex, and the Benfotiamine again, and will keep you posted. Thanks once again!

      Segments of the protein Casein are the same as segments of the protein strands of gluten, the 33-mer segment.   The cow's body builds that Casein protein.  It doesn't come from wheat.   Casein can trigger the same reaction as being exposed to gluten in some people.   This is not a dairy allergy (IGE mediated response).  It is not lactose intolerance.
