I can't buy them regularly, so I'm not too worried about it. But under the FAQ section of the Larabar Web site, it says they are gluten free. But only two of the bars are specifically labeled as gluten-free under the nutrition info. *sigh* Which again just raises the point that many food manufacturers do not make gluten friendly labels.
On a good note, I went to Wegmans yesterday and they must have just gotten a shipment in because they had a ton of GF food they didn't have the other weeks -- including frozen brownies and muffins. I didn't buy those, but did buy some "English muffins" which actually worked pretty well as hamburger buns (which Wegmans didn't have).

That is coming slowly but surely. Some days I feel good, but other days I am still having problems. It apparently can take quite some time to get healed and feeling better. I also need to be tested for vitamin deficiencies, but am taking supplements in the meantime.Enjoy what you can get offthegrid! How are you feeling health-wize now that you are gluten free??Last edited by Offthegrid; 12-29-2006 at 06:40 AM. Reason: double post

Two wheat and gluten free recipes:
Peanut butter cookies
1 cup peanut butter
1 cup sugar
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla
Mix together. Drop by teaspoonfuls or make into small balls onto cookie sheet. Bake at 325* for 15 minutes.
Green Dip
15 oz canned white beans (canelli) drained
1/4 cup fresh parsely leaves
2 tblspns fresh lemon juice
1 garlic clove
1/3 cup olive oil
Blend it all up and pour into a bowl. Garnish with some parsely. Serve with rice crackers and sliced veges for dipping.
The cookies are great, magic! My mom made up a big batch of them. Yum! And the dip I just had at a party this evening. Good stuff!"If Americans want to live the American Dream, they should go to Denmark." - Richard Wilkinson

Do you get bald spots on your tongue after a gluten encounter? I imagine that's what's also happening to all the little villi in my small intestine... poor lil' critters all sloughing away... sigh. Just for a beer, or a mousse-filled chocolate.

Shameless Trader Joe's Plug
Hey OTG,
Just caught this post. There's a Trader Joe's right near my house. I LOVE Trader Joe...I'm gonna marry him when I grow up ! He has plenty of Gluten Free products (but alas...no Two Buck Chuck...PA liquor laws suck...I'm a poet and didn't know it 
)

GLUTEN FREE BEER!!!
I bought the first sixpack of Redbridge in north Seattle! So new it wasn't even on the shelf yet!
Mmmmm, not bad! A nicely hoppy amber, sweetish aftertaste, more like a microbrew amber than a Budweiser. $8 for a sixpack. And best of all it didn't make me feel yucky!

I never did care much for beer, but I will probably get it for the Super Bowl. (I prefer rum and coke. Yum.)
But wanted to share my latest discovery: buckwheat. I've been searching for an alternative to my morning oatmeal that I can make at work, and quinoa just made me want to vomit. But buckwheat (actually a fruit, not wheat at all) is pretty darn good! Not *quite* oatmeal, but definitely very edible.~ Susie
