Going Without Gluten: How thinkThin Changed My Life

Melissa Eads with her favorite thinkThin creamy peanut butter bar.

Last month, we asked our gluten free fans to submit their stories for a chance to win a six month supply of their favorite thinkThin gluten free bars. The response was so great that we had to share a few of our favorite entries with you. Read on to hear Melissa’s story:

Think Thin products have so changed my life.  When I was diagnosed with Celiac Disease, I was devastated. I was scared that I would eat things – by accident – that I wasn’t supposed to. It was so difficult to shop. I’m not a big breakfast eater, but when I was also diagnosed with pre-diabetes I was told to eat 5-6 meals a day – which meant breakfast. By accident, I happened upon your bars in a store and loved them. I started eating them for breakfast and absolutely loved the taste, especially the peanut butter ones. The bars a perfect for me at breakfast and give me everything I need to get my morning started. They have saved me many, many times.  My husband races and we travel frequently in the summer months. The bars always travel with me not only for breakfast, but also because if a race ran long or something else happened it could be a long time before I was able to eat.  Plus we have been caught in little towns with only “Mom and Pop” restaurants with “home-style cooking”. This usually means I can’t eat what they offer. I’ve also been to chain restaurants that couldn’t accommodate me and the bars/snacks enable me to get by while everyone else eats. Your products are so nutritious with reduced sugar, lots of proteins, and most important of all GLUTEN FREE. I can’t say how much I appreciate your production of gluten free items. The taste of your products is wonderful and convenient to put in my purse or to grab when I’m in a hurry. You have definantly been a LIFE SAVER for me. THANK YOU!!!
