Thought I'd update this since there was a reply I never got to before I fell off of the side of the earth.

Itself, that's cool. I checked those out but they have a "made on equipment that processes nuts" warning on the site. Do you find that they say something else IRL? If, so, they are a no. Based on my recent PFT and other evals with my allergist that cutting out potentially cross-contaminated sources may have greatly contributed to my recent results. It's the only thing that has changed diet or exercise wise that we can think of and while it's a pain, I like to minimize risk whenever possible. I know everyone is different and sensitive in different ways but cross-contaminates have likely caused reactions in me several times in the past couple of years looking back.

I've been doing my own bars as of late and riding with a lady who has a really awful dairy allergy that has exchanged some great ideas with me. I am still looking into doing something that is more heat-friendly, but I think I am going to be stuck doing something like Gu for the summer just for quick stuff. The bars are just not that heat friendly but I ride with a waterproof trunk bag now (my bike now has a rack on it since I also commute on it now) and it seems to help shield it from the sun and my own sweaty back!
