What's In Your Purse?

Anybody have any favorite tried and true go to snacks that you pack in your purse?

 

I've slacked lately on stocking my car kit and I'm thinking that I need to pack a little more in my purse. I ordered some Hellman's mayo packets in bulk and plan to keep some in my purse with a can of gluten-free vegan tuna, some gluten-free crackers, and a KIND bar. Then I have something fast, even if I don't get around to restocking my box for the car.

Sounds like some of you pack your purse with fresh food every day and carry around enough for a couple of full meals!   :D

 

 

I just try to keep a couple of light weight things, like a small pack of nuts, in case I get caught away longer than I thought.  If I know I am going to be away - then I pack a lunch.

Kareng, you  are  right --- I carry enough  for several people so  in the  event  something  happens  I can also share with  other  hungry people...When  people ride with me they  are always looking  for  my goodie  bag! even the gluten  eaters!  I do also always  have  a  bin in my  trunk with  water & juice......gluten free people  who  ride  with me always say they feel secure  when  with me & my  car.....we are  road warriors  so  many  places  there  is  nothing  gluten-free   to  eat along  our  journeys.....

Yes, I just carry peanuts but it is enough peanuts to feed me and three gluten-free boys in case lunch is delayed by an hour or so.  LOL

Kind bars, mixed nuts and GoPicnic meals. If you have not heard of GoPicnic they are fantastic for a more substantial on the go meal.

For everyday, I just keep a granola bar or two in my purse in case I am stuck out and get hungry.  I also have three pillboxes in there that have any medication I may need (OTC and RX) for all my issues, and a 5 hour energy in case my lupus fatigue gets so bad I gotta have caffeine to get to where I am going. And a bottle of water- I always take one with me when I leave the house.  If I am gone for a good part of the day like my long drives and waits for specialist appointments, I will throw a bunch of water and snacks in my car and purse.  Really just depends on what is on hand.

Larabars! I used to love them just for being so healthy, but they are all gluten free too! Score! All of their bars are only made out of a few ingredients, generally one or two types of fruit mixed with some kind of nut.

      Welcome to the forum, @LimpToeTheTimeless Bone growth plates close in the late teens to early twenties, so it's doubtful you'll grow much taller, but you may start to bulk up in muscle.  Remember to boost your absorption of vitamins and minerals needed to build muscle by eating a nutritionally dense diet and supplementing with essential vitamins and minerals, especially Thiamine B1, to counteract the malabsorption caused by Celiac Disease. Keep us posted on your progress!

      Fermentation breaks down some of the gluten in wheat. Nowhere enough for a wheat dough to become gluten free, but the gluten may be significantly reduced. I think some pizzerias make the dough the day before and leave it overnight. The longer the microbes are acting on the flour, the better.

      I am M 21 and I diagnosed myself after a week of fasting and slowly reintroducing stuff in my diet except gluten, I had terrible eczema scars ,dandruff and brain fog, now I am free after 6 years of just pain, I am 6'2, will I grow taller? And since I am a gymnast will my muscles grow like quicker, cause before no matter how effort I put in I just couldn't.

      And the fact is, no two celiacs will necessarily respond the same to gluten exposure. Some are "silent" celiacs and don't experience obvious symptoms. But that doesn't mean no harm is being done to their gut. It just means it is subclinical.
