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.

      Not necessarily. The "Gluten Free" label means not more than 20ppm of gluten in the product which is often not enough for super sensitive celiacs. You would need to be looking for "Certified Gluten Free" (GFCO endorsed) which means no more than 10ppm of gluten. Having said that, "Gluten Free" doesn't mean that there will necessarily be more gluten than "Certified Gluten" in any given batch run. It just means there could be.

      I think it is wise to seek a second opinion from a GI doc and to go on a gluten free diet in the meantime. The GI doc may look at all the evidence, including the biopsy report, and conclude you don't need anything else to reach a dx of celiac disease and so, there would be no need for a gluten challenge. But if the GI doc does want to do more testing, you can worry about the gluten challenge at that time. But between now and the time of the appointment, if your symptoms improve on a gluten free diet, that is more evidence. Just keep in mind that if a gluten challenge is called for, the bare minimum challenge length is two weeks of the daily consumption of at least 10g of gluten, which is about the amount found in 4-6 slices of wheat bread. But, I would count on giving it four weeks to be sure.

      Are Bobresmill gluten free oats ok for sensitive celiacs?
    • jenniber
      thank you both for the insights. i agree, im going to back off on dairy and try sucraid. thanks for the tip about protein powder, i will look for whey protein powder/drinks!   i don’t understand why my doctor refused to order it either. so i’ve decided i’m not going to her again, and i’m going to get a second opinion with a GI recommended to me by someone with celiac. unfortunately my first appointment isn’t until February 17th. do you think i should go gluten free now or wait until after i meet with the new doctor? i’m torn about what i should do, i dont know if she is going to want to repeat the endoscopy, and i know ill have to be eating gluten to have a positive biopsy. i could always do the gluten challenge on the other hand if she does want to repeat the biopsy.    thanks again, i appreciate the support here. i’ve learned a lot from these boards. i dont know anyone in real life with celiac.

      Let me suggest an adjustment to your terminology. "Celiac disease" and "gluten intolerance" are the same. The other gluten disorder you refer to is NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) which is often referred to as being "gluten sensitive". Having said that, the reality is there is still much inconsistency in how people use these terms. Since celiac disease does damage to the small bowel lining it often results in nutritional deficiencies such as anemia. NCGS does not damage the small bowel lining so your history of anemia may suggest you have celiac disease as opposed to NCGS. But either way, a gluten-free diet is in order. NCGS can cause bodily damage in other ways, particularly to neurological systems.
