I love Nana's No Gluten Cookie Bars but they apparently don't love me! I am miserable at the moment. I usually have one for my mid- morning snack and I had been noticing for the past few days that I'm feeling extremely nauseated afterwards. At first I thought it might be something else but after the elimination process I'm sure it's the cookie bars, I just don't know what ingredient it is. Has anybody else out there had any trouble with them?

I don't know about that, but the one time i ate it i thought it taseted horrible. Could you have another sensitivity to another food that is just in that.

I love those cookies--Nana Banana is my favorite. Which one exactly did you eat? I haven't had problems with them. Could it be the sugar in them is stimulating your gut? They are a bit dense/rich...

I always eat the Nana Banana, sometime the Berry Vanilla. I didn't always have a reaction to them. I have no idea what ingredient it could be. Maybe my tummy is very sensitive right now due to a recent glutening disaster. Very frustrating.

How long ago was the disaster?

It was 5 days ago. I never have the same recovery time when I get glutened. Don't know if that is normal or not.

Just a guess--do they have soy flour in them? Some (like me) can't tolerate soy flour. Hope you figure it out

Thank you. I just found the list of ingredients: no soy but there is tapioca flour, brown rice flour and gluten free whole grain dextrins. I've never had a problem with brown rice flour or tapioca flour... so far. Don't know exactly what the last one is.

Again, I'm guessing , but I also have become intolerant to tapioca flour. There are a few others on the board who are also sensitive to it. Welcome to the wonderful world of "food detectives"!

I guess I will have to keep an eye on the Tapioca flour. Thanks for the heads up on that. So far I have been lucky by not having "other" food sensitivities but maybe I have jumped the gun as far as that goes.

Okay...maybe weird conincidence but I recently (last week) ate a nana's cocoa one and my kids had the non-gluten-free ones and i got stomach troubles on Sunday and they seem to be slowing down today.

I was wondering if just the smell and coming in contact with the non-gluten-free nana's ones made me sick.

I can't eat the Nana's cookies, I love them, but the dextrins give me a really bad headache.

Just a thought, but not all Nana's cookies and bars are gluten-free. I don't know if this is the case where you bought them, but in all of the stores that sell Nana's in my area they put all of the gluten-free varieties right in with the gluten containing varieties- so it can be really easy to grab a gluten containing cookie by mistake.

Have you had the cocoa ones before? I've never been able to eat the cocoa ones, but the banana and vanilla don't cause me problems unless I'm in one of those states where just about everything I eat hurts. I haven't tried to narrow down the Nana's cocoa cookie problem for me. It's easier to avoid them and enjoy the others. I'm a Nana's fan.

I must be one of the few who thinks these cookies could choke a horse!!!! I love the flavor but they are so drrrrrryyyy (dry).DO you who like them heat them up or what? The flavor is wonderful but I choke everytime I eat one.....

Well, I never thought of them as dry, but guess they do make me a bit thirsty I just eat with a glass of water handy...

You said you've eaten them before with no problems?

I've personally had the problem of finding a food I love and eating it all the time until it starts to bug my stomach. I did this with honey, I've done it with sesame bars...you name it. I have to try to control myself for eating something to death.

I came on here specifically because I am on a strict elimiation trial, that has been going wonderfully! ...until I added these cookies. The only thing I can think of is, there IS a disclaimer on the package that the facility also produces products with wheat, peanuts, etc. They must not be very careful about handling after their gluten free product's ingredients are mixed and cooke. Go figure!

I like Nana's lemon cookies. The cocoa ones are too dry, in my opinion. I have not had any problems with them.

It is easy to grab the gluten cookies though. I did this once but noticed before I ate them. My co-workers were treated to cookies.
