Guest guest Posted April 30, 2005 Report Share Posted April 30, 2005 Glutino (I believe) makes breakfast bars in apple, blueberry and chocolate. I have never head them, but some here have and will probably weigh in with reviews.

I am the mother of 9 year old twin boys diagnosed with CD this past January. I am interested in the list of GF bars. They were used to eating oat breakfast bars and haven't eaten them since being diagnosed. They do not like the the bumble bars or any other GF ones that I have had them try. I love Luna bars and think that they would too. Where can I get a copy of the GF bars list so that I can research bars that they might try. This is one area that I have not been able to find anything to replace what they used to eat. Thanks, Isabel Chelsea Wills wrote: Hello- im new to the group............ love the list of GF bars- they are my favorite! But a lot of them seemed to still have oats in the (clif, luna, odwalla, etc) whats the deal with oats and gluten? ive always heard that it is a no no........
