Glutano Products

hello everyone! :)

I was recently in a health food store buying some stuff. I like a few Glutano products, but Ive never tried the breakfast bars. Can anyone tell me how they taste, if they're good or not? I bought the blueberry kind and didnt open the box yet.....I hate when you open the box and they taste awful.....You spend extra money and looked foward to it, only to have a bad taste left in your mouth!!!! :angry::angry::angry::angry::angry:

I waste so much money this way. So I figured Id post this message with the hope that someone can tell me about a product.....if you want, I'll reciprocate as well.

So, Glutano Breakfast Bars-----????????????

Also, just remembered the other one I bought and didnt like Nana's something ??? chocolate bars-------hated it. What about the regular cookies-----??????

Thank you,

Lets help one another save money! sounds like a great idea, no? :lol:

Happy August!!! B)

Glutano has lemon wafers that are good.

Glutano had blueberry and apple bars that are good but the chocolate ones are nasty.

I second that opinion! We like the fruit flavored ones, but the chocolate ones really are nasty! Only a few people on the two message boards I belong to have said they actually liked them. They were very bitter and just tasted bad. Not to mention what they look like. My kids thought they looked like dog poop that you find dried up outside! It doesn't make for a good mental image when you are biting down on something that you expect might taste good, and then it tastes awful. :huh:

The apples ones are my favorite, but I like the blueberry ones too. My friend thought the apple ones were too sweet, and she only likes the blueberry ones. I keep a stock of both. The only problem I have is that they are too small. If I need it as a quick on the go breakfast then I have to eat two of them.

We also love the Glutino Pizza flavored breadsticks. They do NOT taste like pizza, instead they remind my kids and I of the garlic flavored croutons we used to eat. They make an excellent crouton replacement on salads and are wonderful as a crunchy snack.

God bless,

WELL, we like the chocolate ones and the blueberry ones. But not the apple ones. We put cream cheese on top of them... like a bagel that way. We also love the pizza flavored bread stick, but can't find them anymore. On line ordering from glutano is too expensive. You end up paying TWICE for the stuff when you add in shipping charges. With the pizza flavored breadstick we used to sprinkle mozzerella cheese on top and bake till melted. Then add a side of sauce for dipping. Yum. Great lunch or snack for kids.

Ut-oh ~ I liked the chocolate ones as well! :ph34r:

I don't like the comparison to dog poop, but they did taste good to me!!!

I am a BIG chocolate fan, though, so maybe that has a bearing on it.

Anyway, I also loved the apple and blueberry. Open the box and enjoy!!! :)

I think, like anything, you've just got to try them. I tried the apple ones - they're ok. Nothing spectacular, but not awful. But, then again, I like Lara Bars. ;-) Sometimes, we've just got to try out these things (I know, I know... the cost gets expensive... that's why I don't try these things very often!)

I tried them all and didn't like any of them...

They're a raw food bar, that's essentially just nuts, dates, and spices with other dried fruit - depending on the flavor.

      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 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

      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, do a sudoku or some other small task, and then go back to bed when she felt sleepy again.  I can't think it did her any harm - she lived  well into her nineties. 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.

      It could be a fructan intolerance? How do you do with dates?  https://www.dietvsdisease.org/sorry-your-gluten-sensitivity-is-actually-a-fructan-intolerance/

      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!
