I get them at Whole Foods--at the WF near me, they are not in the energy bar section but in the prepared food section on top of the big kiosks of foods. Weird place to keep them if you ask me, but did you ask the customer service desk? I've never been in a Whole Foods that didn't carry them.

Don't know where you are but I also used to get them at Kroger, Shop Rite, and Wegmans.

Our WF has them in the energy bars and sometimes at the register. I don't like them. Too many dates for my taste. However, 2 of them and another gluten-free kind of mint chocolate went with my 14 year old son backpacking this weekend. He likes them.

I have also seen them other places. Maybe even the convience store.

They sell them at Kroger and Meijer in Ohio (large grocery stores).

Have you tried Kind bars? I really like them better than Larabars. I can find Larabars (not many varieties) at our local Wal-Mart. Giant Foods carries both, but again not all varieties. So much for living in a small market area...no Whole Foods or Wegman's in sight.

The local Shaw's and Hannaford have them here in their natural/organic food sections. I'm not really a big fan either, I find the date flavor overwhelming. Still looking for some kind of granola / snack bar that's safe for me to eat. I'm kind of an appallingly picky eater.

I love Kind bars and those Nature valley almond gluten-free bars. I prefer a bar that can't get a date. ;)

Ah yes those single bars are definitely a lot nicer. *impish grin* Dont tell my husband that I like my bars single!

All right next time I go to WF I will definitely ask. Its quite possible that I am just plain ole blind... oh wait, yea, I remember now... I am. I cant see outta these infernal glasses. Stupid eye doctor gave me the wrong prescription. My right eye is a whole degree off...

And I will have my husband look at WinCo on his way to his parents house to sort through stuff. If not, we have a Smith's by my apartment, and since a lot of yall said you get them at Kroger, I can assume they will be at Smiths, its sister store.

i've found them here in Boise at:

Winco- (by the nutrition bars/ pb/ jams in the cereal isle (this store was just recently remodeled)

Fred Meyer/ Kroger- in the organic foods section, where the rest of the energy bars are. (kind bars are also there)

Walmart- in the pharmacy section, where the nutrition supplement foods/ energy bars are.

REI outfitters (outdoors store)- i had never been in that store before a couple weeks ago, so asked for help. They are with other enegry/ camping type foods there they also have Kind bars (but, for both, unless on sale, they were pretty pricey).

i've heard from other people that they have them at Costco. Or you can order them online.

A week or so ago, I was looking at a list of gluten-free items that Albertsons has on their website, and Larabars are were on the list... now if I can only find them in the store!

You couldn't tell i like Larabars & Kind bars, could ya? :)

Another thing i like from Fred Meyer is 'Just Fruit' bars. they are right by the energy bars. just fruit, NOTHING else added. (don't know if they're just available here in the northwest or not)

You can also find Lara bars online if you can't find any stores nearby that carry them. I imagine the same is true of Kind bars.

I got my Kind bars by the case from Amazon. Great price!

In case anyone besides me was worried Matt would eat more than 2 of the 6 date based bars he took on his backpacking trip- he ate part of one. He had snuck some Snickers in. He also loves the freeze dried dinners. Go figure. :)

So I found the Larabars at a WinCo over the weekend, and then yesterday I found a wider variety at my WF of Larabars and just about every kind of Kindbar there was too. I found some others too, anyone tried the "Think Thin" bars? Anyway I pulled some more Larabars, but I aint a big fan of so many nuts, thus the Kind bars didnt seem so appealin... (And I was afraid to try the Larabars at first due to the dates, but they are delicious. Just make me thirsty so I need to make sure to have some sort of drink...)

(PS SNICKERS=yuck to me... dont like the nuts...makes it hard for me to chew. Ill stick with my Larabars...)

Glad you found them! I'm pretty much addicted to the Ginger Snap ones--they go perfectly with my afternoon tea latte :D

I tried the think thin bars. They are okay. Kind of chalky. My friend had gastric bypass and needs lots of protein with out sugar, so the think thin bars worked for her. They are better than nothing. (I love the Kind bars, so I choose those first.) I also get the Nature Valley Nut Crunch, but those are all nuts, too, so they probably wouldn't work for you.

      Hi Katht - I sympathize with your struggles in following a gluten-free diet and lifestyle. I found out that I had Celiac Disease a few months before I turned 70. I just turned 89 and it has taken me almost 20 years to attain a fairly normal intestinal function. I also lost a lot of weight, down to 100 lb. down from about 140 lb. What Trents wrote you was...

      Hi Colleen Are you supplementing B12/having injections? I have learned recently that sometimes when you start addressing a B12 deficiency, it can temporarily make your symptoms worse. But it is important not to stop the treatment. Regarding your problems with anxiety, again that is another symptom of a B12 deficiency. I didn't know...

      Hi Katht -  I sympathize with your struggles in following a gluten-free diet and lifestyle. I found out that I had Celiac Disease a few months before I turned 70. I just turned 89 and it has taken me almost 20 years to attain a fairly normal intestinal  function. I also lost a lot of weight, down to 100 lb. down from about 140 lb. What Trents wrote you was very true for me. I am still elimination foods from my diet. One person suggested you keep a food diary and that is a good idea but it is probably best just to do an elimination diet. There are several ne and maybe one for celiacs. I used one for a while and started with plain rice and zucchini and then added back other foods to see if I reacted or not. That helped a great deal but what I did not realise that it would only very small amounts of some foods to cause inflammation in my intestine. Within the last few years I have stopped eating any trace amounts of hot peppers, corn and soy(mostly in supplements) and nuts, (the corn in Tylenol was giving me stomach aches and the nuts were causing foot pains). Starting an elimination diet with white rice is better than brown rice that has some natural toxins. In addition it is very important to drink sufficient plain water. You can find out how much to drink for your height and weight online. I do have difficulty drinking 48 ounces of water but just recently have found an electrolyte supplement that helps me stay well hydrated, Adding the water and electrolytes may reduce muscle cramps and gag spams you wrote about. . Also buy some anti-gluten enzyme capsules to take with meals. I use GliadinX advertised here. These are a lot of things to do at one time as they reflect my 20 years of experience. I hope you do what you can manage to do over time. Good luck and take care.

      Hi Colleen Are you supplementing B12/having injections? I have learned recently that sometimes when you start addressing a B12 deficiency, it can temporarily make your symptoms worse.  But it is important not to stop the treatment.  Regarding your problems with anxiety, again that is another symptom of a B12 deficiency.   I didn't know what anxiety was until it hit me like a train several months before gastrointestinal issues began, so I can certainly relate.   Two books which helped me hugely were At Last A Life by Paul David (there is a website you can look up) and The Depression Cure: The Six-Step Programme to Beat Depression Without Drugs by Dr Steve Llardi.  Although his book is aimed at people who have depression, following the principals he sets out was so helpful in lessening my anxiety.  Llardi suggests we need to focus on getting enough: - physical exercise - omega-3 fatty acids - natural sunlight exposure - restorative sleep - social connectedness - meaningful, engaging activity   ... and we should feel a lot better. That is not to stay you must stop taking medication for depression or anxiety if you have been prescribed it, but adopting the changes Dr Llardi sets out in the book should really help. Can I just ask two more questions:  1) you say that you are B12 deficient, did they test your iron levels too?  If not, you really ought to be checked for deficiency and, 2) did they check your thyroid function, as an overactive thyroid can be cause rapid heartbeat and a lot of coeliacs have thyroid issues?

Im angery because the "celiac specialist " basically lightly dismissed me.Im extremely angery and fighting for a new primary care physician which is hard to do in Northern Cali.So currently without and looking.Im angery that its lightly taken when its extremely serious to the one who has it.My only evidence is a brochure back in the days when I got news letters when I lived at my parents.It was published in 1998.I was diagnosed before any foods eliminated from my diet. Angery doctors don't take seriously when Im clearly speaking.I did write to the medicine of congress and have case number.
