Need Heavy Duty Snack Options

My husband has just recently been diagnosed and I need some easy, heavy duty (aka will keep him happy/full), portable snack options for him. He is already doing chips & salsa, potato chips and Mrs. May's, and sometimes Lara Bars. He's not into the fruit with nut butter stuff (he dislikes nut butters in general) and just a piece of fruit won't satisfy him. He also needs to be casein and soy free right now. Any one have suggestions? Brand names would help a lot also so I can quickly find them online or at the store.

Thanks! :D

hummus (most brands are gluten, soy and casein-free, or you can make it easily in a blender)

cocoa chia bars (really good and filling - if you can find them :))

corn thins with lunch meat (I eat Applegate Farms)

anything with avocado is good and filling

alpsnack bars

I can't think of many other packaged snacks that are too filling, but if you stick to basic protiens and fats and get creative enough pretty much anything can be portable.

We like Clif Nectar bars - especially the chocolate walnut flavor.

What about little individual packages of peanuts, cashews or almonds?

Bumble Bars are also good if you can find them.

Homemade trail mix - nuts, dried fruit and chocolate chips, in sandwich bags works too.

Plain Fritos and Frito Bean Dip -- he can find this Fritos anywhere

(added after checking for soy -- Fritos Scoops are safe, Bean Dip and Refried Beans that I checked all have soy in some form or other. Suggest making refried beans from canned pintos for bean dip)

popcorn

Boarshead deli meats and cheese cut into squares with Nut Thins (a favorite lunch for me, probably a snack for your guy)

(checked Nut Thins, they do not contain soy although they are not prepared on a dedicated line)

I posted a recipe I make with Namaste Spice Cake mix, adding a 10 oz pkg of shredded carrots, 4-5 cups of walnuts, 1 cup ground flax seed and a can of crushed pineapple, drained (or mandrin oranges). This makes a dense, high fiber muffin that is very filling but doesn't taste like a "healthy" muffin.

(Namaste stated that it has no soy)

Almond M&Ms (contains soy lecithin)

Underwood Deviled Ham with Nut Thins

(checked the label, no soy in Underwood Deviled Ham or Nut Thins)

Philadelphia Spreadable Chive and Onion Cream Cheese with Nut thins

NOTE: Edited for dairy, will check for soy later. Sorry, that's what happens when I surf on the fly.

(LATER: Soy issues noted above)

I'm on the same search.

I've tried Enjoy Life's soft baked Snickerdoodle cookies recently. There nut and gluten free. I don't like their NO-Oats Oatmeal cookies because the brown rice flakes tend to be to hard(like not cooked well) to chew.

My daughter loves all of their cookoies except for the No Oats Oatmeal. I never tried them so I didn't know what she was complaining about. Now I do!

My daughter likes Shelton Turkey Sticks. She also likes beef jerky although it can be hard to find any that's gluten free. She also likes cans of Vienna sausages. And Nacho Chreese dip with corn chips. It's made of pea protein but it tastes just like real cheese! She also likes Snapea crisps and dried peas.

How about quinoa? You can make up flavored bags of quinoa that he just needs to add hot water too. Some brown sugar, dried fruit, and cinnamon is a favorite around here. Altiplano makes flavored instant quinoa packets, just like oatmeal packets, but I'm not sure if they're casein and soy free. I think they may be though. They're delicious if you like hot cereal. They're very filling and easy to carry along for a snack.

All Enjoy Life products are gluten free, dairy free and soy free. I like the cookies with the exception of the "No Oats oatmeal cookies and the snack bars. They also make a cinnamon granola type cereal. You add nuts to it to make a trail mix.

Sorry, Kassandra, I don't have a recipe. I use Altiplano Quinoa packets. They're just like the instant oatmeal packets. Very tasty. I'm sure you could just buy quinoa flakes and follow the directions on the box adding whatever flavorings you'd want. I like dried apples, cinnamon, brown sugar, and raisins on mine. That's what I add to the plain packet of quinoa.

Vlasic pickles are gluten free I believe. I think many are, but I could be wrong.

Thanks Angie for the idea about the quinoa flakes. I just saw these yesterday, and now I will have to buy them next time. Sounds like a good alternative to oatmeal, and very soothing for upset stomachs.

For our trip recently i brought rice cakes, raw almonds and pecans, and Banana Chips. They all worked great for car snaking and adding to the very limited amount of things we can eat in a restraunt ; )

I get the Vlasic Kosher Dill's. They are yummy, and as far as I can tell, gluten-free :)

Both my celiac daughters LOVE Glutino Gluten Free Pretzels.

I think they are better than reg pretzels. Fantastic!

Wegman's carries a brand of gluten free pretzels that I'd defy any wheat eating person to tell the difference betw. them and regular pretzels!

Why would ANYTHING that isn't a grain have gluten in it? There's a question. Sorry, very cynical about our food supply and our inability to grow and cook our own!

I think that might be a holdover from back when it wasn't generally known that distilled grain vinegar was gluten-free. Now, the only reason I can think of is if they were pickled in malt vinegar. I can't imagine why anyone would do that but if you had tasted some of the pickles my FIL used to give us, you'd believe people will pickle absolutely anything and add some "unexpected" seasonings. :lol::-)

      Hello @catnapt, That's so true. Every person with Celiac Disease has different symptoms. There are over 200 that it mimics. Too many still believe that it is only a childhood disease you outgrow. Or it's psychosomatic or simply a fad. Idiots. It's easy to get angry at all of them. You just have to pick at the answers until you find...

      Celiac Disease causes more vitamin D deficiency than the general population because of limited UV sunlight in the winter and the little available from food is not absorbed well in the damaged small intestine.  Taking 10,000 IU a day (250 mcg) a day broke my depression. Taking it for eleven years.  Doctor recently said to not stop.  My 25(OH)D is around 200 nmol/L (80 ng/ml) but it took about six years to get there.  Increasing vitamin D also increases absorption of Calcium. A good start is 100-gram (3.5-ounce) serving of salmon,  vitamin D from 7.5 to 25 mcg (300 to 1,000 IU) but it is going to take additional vitamin D supplement to be effective.  More importantly salmon has an omega-6 to omega-3 ratio 1:10 anti-inflammatory compared to the 15:1 infammatory ratio of the typical Western diet.

      Thank you for sharing your thoughts.  I respectfully disagree.  You cherry picked a small section from the page.  I will do the same below: The agency is seeking information on adverse reactions due to “ingredients of interest” (i.e., non-wheat gluten containing grains (GCGs) which are rye and barley, and oats due to cross-contact with GCGs) and on labeling issues or concerns with identifying these “ingredients of interest” on packaged food products in the U.S. “People with celiac disease or gluten sensitives have had to tiptoe around food, and are often forced to guess about their food options,” said FDA Commissioner Marty Makary, M.D., M.P.H. “We encourage all stakeholders to share their experiences and data to help us develop policies that will better protect Americans and support healthy food choices.” --- end quote Anyone with celiac disease is clearly a stakeholder.  The FDA is encouraging us to share our experiences along with any data to help develop future "policies that will better protect Americans and support healthy food choices".  I see this as our chance to speak up or forever hold our peace.  Like those that do not participate in elections, they are not allowed to complain.  The way I see it, if we do not participate in this request for public comment/feedback, then we should also not complain when we get ill from something labeled gluten-free. Have a blessed day ahead, Known1

      Hello @catnapt, That's so true.  Every person with Celiac Disease has different symptoms.  There are over 200 that it mimics.  Too many still believe that it is only a childhood disease you outgrow.  Or it's psychosomatic or simply a fad.  Idiots.  It's easy to get angry at all of them.   You just have to pick at the answers until you find the ones that work for you.  I too suffer from not being able to take the drugs that work for "everyone else".  SSRIs make me twitch ane feel like toothpicks are holding my eye open, ARBs cripple me.  Statins cause me intestinal Psuedo Obstruction.  Espresso puts me to sleep.  I counted 19 different symptoms that improved from GFD and dealing with my nutritional defecits.  I couldn't breath through my mouth until I started GFD at 64 years old.   My son was born with celiac disease, biopsy diagnosed at weaning.   So why are we the one-percenters.  Why, after being silent for so long, does it suddenly flare? There is the possibility that you have both Celiac Disease and Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity.  NCGS was not established as a diagnosis until 1980.  NCGS is diagnost by first elimating Celiac Disease as the cause, and showing improvement on GFD.  Nothing says you can't have symptoms from both.  Wheatbelly: Total Nutrition by Dr. Davis was helpful to me. We come to the forum to share what we've learned in dealing with our own symptoms.  Maybe this will help someone. Speaking of which if you don't mind; what is your 25(OH)D vitamin D blood level?  You mentioned a mysterious Calcium issue. Vitamin D, Calcium and Iodine are closely interactive. It is not uncommon for postmenopausal women to have insufficient intake of Iodine.   (RDA): Average daily level of intake sufficient to meet the nutrient requirements of nearly all (97%–98%) healthy individuals; often used to plan nutritionally adequate diets for individuals You are a one-percenter.  You may need higher intake of some essential nutrient supplements to speed up repairing the damages.
