Guest guest Posted September 1, 2004 Report Share Posted September 1, 2004 All My husband is anxiously awaiting the results of his blood tests which he suspects will be positive. He participates in several triathlons during the year and he rely's on energy bars, gels and drinks - specifically harvest bars (which the label says is manufactured and a plant that handles wheat), power gels and Endurox R4. Does anyone know if these products are GF and if there are some triathlete's out there what do you use for training? ( I was going to contact Endurox anyway - but didn't know if someone knew this) Thanks so much, Kathy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 1, 2004 Report Share Posted September 1, 2004 We like Aunt Foods protein bars. They are made from almond butter and have 12 grams of protein per bar. All their bars are both gluten and casein free. My daughters like the apple berry breakfast bar and I like the chocolate almond bar (takes a bite or two to get used to the flavor, then it is addicting). I have tried the blueberry cashew and hated it. Here's the website: http://www.auntcandicefoods.com/ Good luck!

Guest guest Posted September 2, 2004 Report Share Posted September 2, 2004 I used to do Speed skating, and I researched one product that is not too easy to find anymore. GU ... nothing in it is real, its all made in a lab. But I talked with the guy who invented it. He made it originally for his kids. Basically its just substances that make your muscles not feel fatigued, and let me tell you, it works, but after it wears off... you feel it. http://www.gusports.com/ The no-flavor one is the safest, as it has never came in contact with any sort of gluten substance.

Guest guest Posted September 2, 2004 Report Share Posted September 2, 2004 Sorry to be so slow in responding to this (end of the summer craziness...). My husband (a long-distance biker) and daughter (avid soccer player) both use energy gels. Clif, Power Bar, and Gu are the brand names they use. I called all three and all three manufacturers say they are gluten free. My husband feels that he absorbs the nutrients from the gel more quickly than he does with the typical energy bars.
