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.

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      Hi Jane: You may want to try the D3 I now take. I have reactions to fillers and many additives. Sports Research, it is based in the USA and I have had no bad reactions with this brand. The D3 does have coconut oil but it is non GMO, it is Gluten free, Soy free, Soybean free and Safflower oil free. I have a cupboard full of supplements that did not agree...

      Insomnia help

      Thank you for your post, @nanny marley It is interesting what you say about 'It's OK not to sleep'. Worrying about sleeping only makes it much harder to sleep. One of my relatives is an insomniac and I am sure that is part of the problem. Whereas I once had a neighbour who, if she couldn't sleep, would simply get up again, make a cup of tea, read,...

      Unexpected gluten exposure risk from cultivated mushrooms

      Thank’s for addressing the issue of mushrooms. I was under the impression that only wild mushrooms were gluten-free. Have been avoiding cultivated mushrooms for years. Also, the issue of smoked food was informative. In France last year, where there is hardly any prepared take-out food that is gluten-free, I tried smoked chicken. Major mistake!

The D3 does have coconut oil but it is non GMO, it is Gluten free, Soy free, Soybean free and Safflower oil free.  I have a cupboard full of supplements that did not agree with me -  I just keep trying and have finally settled on Sports Research. I take NAKA Women's Multi full spectrum, and have not felt sick after taking 2 capsules per day -  it is a Canadian company. I buy both from Amazon. I wish you well in your searching, I know how discouraging it all is. Florence.

      highly unlikely  NOTHING and I mean NOTHING else has ever caused me these kinds of symptoms I have no problem with dates, they are a large part of my diet In fact, I eat a very high fiber, very high vegetable and bean diet and have for many years now. It's considered a whole foods plant based or plant forward diet (I do now eat some lean ground turkey but not much) I was off dairy for years but recently had to add back plain yogurt to meet calcium needs that I am not allowed to get from supplements (I have not had any problem with the yogurt)   I eat almost no processed foods. I don't eat out. almost everything I eat, I cook myself I am going to keep a food diary but to be honest, I already know that it's wheat products and also barley that are the problem, which is why I gradually stopped eating and buying them. When I was eating them, like back in early 2024, when I was in the middle of moving and ate out (always had bread or toast or rolls or a sub or pizza) I felt terrible but at that time was so busy and exhausted that I never stopped to think it was the food. Once I was in my new place, I continued to have bread from time to time and had such horrible joint pain that I was preparing for 2 total knee replacements as well as one hip! The surgery could not go forward as I was (and still am) actively losing calcium from my bones. That problem has yet to be properly diagnosed and treated   anyway over time I realized that I felt better when I stopped eating bread. Back at least 3 yrs ago I noticed that regular pasta made me sick so I switched to brown rice pasta and even though it costs a lot more, I really like it.   so gradually I just stopped buying and eating foods with gluten. I stopped getting raisin bran when I was constipated because it made me bloated and it didn't help the constipation any more (used to be a sure bet that it would in the past)   I made cookies and brownies using beans and rolled oats and dates and tahini and I LOVE them and have zero issues eating those I eat 1 or more cans of beans per day easily can eat a pound of broccoli - no problem! Brussels sprouts the same thing.   so yeh it's bread and related foods that are clearly the problem  there is zero doubt in my mind

Last week I decided to try a Floradix Magnesium supplement which seems to be helping me to sleep better.  It is a liquid magnesium supplement, so easy to take.  It is gluten free (unlike the Floradix iron supplement).  Might be worth a try.
