Enjoy Life Products?

Has anyone tried any of the Enjoy Life products? I was thinking of trying some of the bagels (specifically the blueberry and onion ones) and maybe the cookies and granola cereal (to add to yogurt).

I'd rather get some opinions before I waste more money on stuff that tastes like dirt.

Thanks in advance.

My store just started carrying their stuff and I was very excited to see a new brand. I tried the snack bars, very berry and cocoa loco and they are ok. They aren't all fluffy and big like the box shows. It was actually kind of disappointing, but they don't taste bad. They are nothing to write home about however. So, I would just say they are ok.

I also ate their snickerdoodle cookies. They are absolutely tiny! About the size of a quarter. But they taste pretty good and I found myself becoming addicited to them. :P

I think the soft chewy chocolate chip cookies are pretty good....I can eat all of them at once. :D

Not hard to do though....since they're not much bigger than a quarter. :huh:

Hmmm....Which ones are these? Are snickerdoodles the same as chewy chocolate chip cookies or does Enjoy Life just make *all* of their cookies quarter size? I'm looking for BIGGER cookies.

the cookies are small, as Ab said, but good. i really like the choc chip and the snickerdoodle too. i do like their bars for a morning snack too. i have not had their bread yet. i appreciate the brand b/c they are free of all the top 8 allergens. and they are one of the first companies (1 of 2) to sign onto the new GFCO (gluten standard testing) by GIG. :)

I like some of their cereals.

I have not tried the onion bagels but have tried the blueberry and cinnamon raisin. I thought they were ok...I can definitely eat them but they are not like great or anything. The blueberry one has very good flavor too it...the first time I made it too hard so it wasn't good but the second time I made it a little bit softer and it tasted better that time around.

That's such a hard question to answer, since people's tastes vary SOOO much. The products don't taste like regular wheat ones - they taste like they're made with gluten-free flours. But if you've been on the diet long enough to have gotten used to that, then you might find them alright. I've had the granola, the bars, and the blueberry bagels. To me, they were all alright, but had enought of a gluten-free taste that I wouldn't eat them terribly regularly. Definitely worth getting on occasion, and out of all of them, I think my favorite would be the blueberry bagels.

I really like the cereals, I like the hard cruchy bars but don't care for the gooy other bars (the ones you can buy online), and I like their very small cookies. Nice for a just a taste of something sweet which is about all I can eat anyway, 2 do me nicely.

I think once you don't have a lot of stuff, this stuff starts to taste much better. I think they also make my soy/dairy free chocolate chips that I love!!!

      Bob red mill gluten free oats

      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...

      Disaccharide deficient, confusing biopsy results, no blood test

      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...

      High TTG-IgG and Normal TTG-IgA

      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...

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.

      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.
