Reaction To Kind Bars

I found Kind bars and LOVE them. I even got someone I know eating them also. Well I was eating like 2 a day and started noticing that I didn't quite feel right. I think I had been glutened by other stuff at the time also. So I started eating somethings that were ok. Well I started feeling great :) Then I made the mistake of eating a Kind bar and a Larabar a few days ago and I've been feeling bad again. I'm pretty sure it's the Kind bars which sucks cos they made my life a little easier. I'm not eating either one of these bars again. Has anyone else had a reaction to them? Has anyone found a good fruit and nut bar that didn't cos a reaction? How can I get my reaction to go away? I've been chugging water. When I get glutened I get brain symptoms. I feel like my mind is in rush hour traffic :( I slept quite a bit today and I have a faint sleep hangover feeling. I find myself just staring and getting upset or angry easily. Luckily after going gluten free I'm able to keep those emotions inside a little easier or at least I think so lol Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I believe they process gluten-free oats in the facility with the Kind Bars--so if you are oat sensitive, you could be reacting to that. Lara Bars are not processed in a facility with oats.

When Starbucks began carrying the Kind Bars, I called the company and was given the oat info. They look so good, too :(:)

They are good. No wonder last year when I was having issues I felt bad after. I thought I was reacting to the sesame seeds. I just started eating them again in the last few months. I'm such an idiot. :P Just goes to prove that you can't assume anything and not let your guard down for one minute. Even after three years I still have things to learn! I think I will still let the oldest boy eat them, but not me or the youngest.

They are like crack in a package lol They are so good. I keep looking for just like 1 or 2 easy junk food replacements and I keep getting sick from them. It's so frustrating. :( Sometimes I come home and just want something like a Kind bar or some chips to snack on. I love riceworks chips but I don't know if I can eat them. I would eat a lot of them when I'd get them and not feel right. I don't know if I'm reacting to something in them or if it's because I would eat so many at a time. You know like how some people can eat a little of something and be ok. I can't eat just a few of them lol Any suggestions on some snacks? :unsure:

Any help on how to get this reaction to pass? :(

Being pretty sensitive, I rely on Lays Stax chips (made on dedicated lines) and homemade popcorn for salty/crunchy. I use either Orville Redinbacher or America's Best (which I prefer the taste of). I pop the kernels in light olive oil and sprinkle with sea salt.

For your reaction, drink lots of pure water, keep something bland in your stomach, and maybe sip some peppermint tea. Hope it passes soon.

Thanks for your replies. I've been drinking lots of water. I feel like a zombie so I'd rather have brains!!! lol Sorry I had to. The gluten made me do it lol :lol: I'll have to try the Stax cos I see a lot of people on here mention them.

I used to love those Kind bars too. I'm oat sensitive and they got to me.

      Fresh Additions Fully Cooked Chicken Breast Bites

      By Nikki2777 · Posted

      Hi  - Anyone have any experience with these? I bought them at Costco thinking they must be gluten-free, but now I see Natural Flavors and Spice in the ingredients. There's no Gluten Free labeling. However the Costco site and two other sites say it's gluten free. Anyone know?

      Restaurants that offer gluten free no cross contamination

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Yes, I doubt you can find a perfectly safe restaurant--perhaps a dedicated gluten-free restaurant, but in general, very few of them exist, and they tend to be in larger cities. Super sensitive celiacs should probably just avoid eating out.

      Newly diagnosed and maybe some type of protein intolerance.

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The good news is that after your gut heals (for most people who are 100% gluten-free this will take several months to two years) you may be able to slowly add some these items back into your diet after the damaged villi heal.

      Restaurants that offer gluten free no cross contamination

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Kenz! Eating out is the number one threat to anyone with celiac disease. The best advice I can give is "don't"! Especially if you are supersensitive. The biggest problem isn't avoiding gluten in what you order but in how it is prepared and handled back in the kitchen where cross contamination can and does happen at multiple stages before it gets to you. You would need to have conversations with the cooks and receive assurance that your food is cooked on clean surfaces and in clean pans and handled with clean utensils, separate from anything that contains gluten.

      Restaurants that offer gluten free no cross contamination

      I am new to this and have severely struggled to find places I can eat where I will not get sick. I am super sensitive to any cross contamination and gluten. I throw up, use the bathroom, get disoriented, can’t walk, can’t even lift my arms, legs, or head. It’s honestly so scary when I come in contact with gluten. I do live in a town where there aren’t many options. I live in Gadsden al. So if anyone has any recommendations of places to eat that would be so helpful .
