I know the feeling when I went gluten-free 4 months ago I was scared to death to eat out.  I have only eaten at 2 restaurants Wendys and only had a baked potato and Red Robin had a hamburger on gluten-free bun and steamed broccoli.  I had no issues with either place.  Hon, no need to starve yourself to death all fresh fruit and veggies, and meat not pre seasoned are all gluten free.  When I first went gluten-free I started with what I already had on hand, I was surprised with the items I found I already had that were gluten-free.  Have you checked out the safe ingredient list?  https://www.celiac.com/articles/181/1/Safe-Gluten-Free-Food-List-Safe-Ingredients/Page1.html

 

Here is another one to read:

You won't starve. You may have to fix your own food and bring it along but that's why coolers and lunch boxes were invented. :)

There are some threads on here about what foods people eat for snacks, breakfast, lunch, dinner, when traveling by plane, by car, ship and even a bike and a train thread. Maybe those will give you some ideas?

Thanks for the links. It just frustrating when I'm on the go. I am back in school with 3 kids 10 and under and it's so hard to pack stuff for me and have their stuff done too. I know it will get better. It's just so overwhelming right now and I am just having a very blue day. Thanks for your support

one day at a time - if you look too hard at the big picture you will go bonkers!  do some reading on here, hit the cooking forum (they have some handy lunch-to-go ideas on there just search it) and take care of you.  it's a big change, treat it as such :)   you'll be ok - you're in a good place to get advice, hugs, and just vent.  this is the place where baby steps are ok and small victories are huge.

Blue days... yes, we've all had so many of those.

 

If you need something to fill you with calories I recommend peanut butter on a gluten-free cracker or bread. Literally 20seconds preperation time, a tasty snack which is calories dense. These kept me going. Then I discovered enzymes which allowed me to digest these calories!

 

The first months are the hardest, but things will get better in terms of symptoms and getting into a rhythm of this new lifestyle.

      thank you, ive asked my dr to test for vitamin deficiency and shes only said vitamin d (very low 26) and b12, she says all other vitamins are not included in her blood tests only the major ones, C, D, E, B12 etc. Ive been following the aip diet now and im going to stay on it very strict to see how it goes. im eating tons of food, romaine salads, mango, peaches, pears, cucumber, celery, zuccnini, sweet potator, plantains, ground turkey and beef and chicken.  i eat about 4 plate filling meals a day with two to three good size snacks a day including about 3 or 4 bananas. im still not absorbing nutrients, if i eat any sort of food with fat, I.e ground beef or fatty pork the taste of fat lingers in my mouth for 2-3 hours sometimes longer, if i bask in sun for vitamin d i feel great but then lethargic and feel strange for a day or two later, like im still absorbing it all in. even regular sweet foods like fruit the sweetness stays in mouth for hours. ive had blood work done for gall bladder, thryroid, pancreas, liver, kindey dr says they are all fine. i dont know what other tests i can do?   ive attached two pictures of the rash that broke out on my legs, feet and small one near wrist bone bright red was before treatment, second scabby one is during treatment and healing.  https://freeimage.host/i/FrI3KZb https://freeimage.host/i/FrI3Fwu

      Trader Joe's strikes again

      Trader Joe's strikes again

      By StuartJ · Posted

      Just ate some for lunch!  A really superb alternative to gluten-free bread and burger buns that all have the taste and consistency of compacted sawdust.  I bought two packs and now I'm down to one remaining muffin so need to get some more; the only thing is it's their own brand - they don't do mail or on line ordering and the nearest TJ's is in Charlottesville (a real nightmare to drive around) an hour away from me over the mountain.  😒

      Question about biopsy

      By somethinglikeolivia · Posted

      When I underwent a scope three years ago, the GI told me I was negative for celiac because there was no intestinal damage (in spite of multiple strong positive labs). I went back to look at my biopsy report out of curiosity, and found this note: “Localized mild nodular mucosa was found in the duodenal bulb. Duodenum otherwise normal.” The pathology from this scope was negative. Does anyone have any insight into mild modular mucosa and what that could indicate or be a precursor to? I’ve read it can be a sign of celiac or other gut issues like h. Pylori, etc.  Thanks in advance!
