Super Mainstream gluten-free Snacks


africanqueen99

Recommended Posts

africanqueen99 Contributor

I'm looking to put together a list for Girl Scouts, soccer parents, etc of the absolute most mainstream gluten-free snacks that my kids can eat.  We are talking about the people that usually throw individual cheeze-it bags and capri-suns on the table for the kids.

 

Help me brainstorm!

* Individually wrapped string cheese

* Individually tubed yogurt (go-gurt and the like)

* Go-go Squeeze applesauce

* Fruit - apples, strawberries, grapes, etc (washed but not cut)

* Pirate's Booty

 

And, yes, I will keep back-up snacks in my purse in case I need to switch something out at the last minute...

These are US lists

GottaSki Mentor

Bananas

Cheetos (and other individual bags of chips - not healthful, but no gluten)

Fourmonkeysjumping Rookie

Veggie straws, puffed goldfish (or whatever th are called), smartfood, Chex.

My sons scout troops always seems to buy one if those huge boxes of frito lay bags, so he can eat several if those. Not the healthiest option, by far, but easily accessible.

Add...

Ice Pops (most)

Goldfish Puffs

Cheetos

Fritos

most potato chips (not pringles)

Tostitos (not all tortilla chips are ok)

Hershey Bars

M&ms

Reeses (except seasonal shapes)

Celtic Queen Explorer

Be careful on the m&ms.  The regular and peanut ones are gluten-free, but the pretzel ones aren't (obviously) and I noticed that the candy corn ones aren't gluten-free either.  Might want to stick to the old fashioned brown and yellow bags.

 

Skittle and Starburst are also gluten-free.

mommida Enthusiast

individual hummus cups

fruity pebbles cereal bars

fruit by the foot

gushers

chocolate covered raisins

nature valley peanut butter, dark chocolate protein bars 

most Jell-O pudding cups or gel cups, Kozy Shack, and same with the Snack pack non refridgerated puddings

fruit cups (peaches, mixed fruit cocktail)

lunch meat (Boar's Head) cheese slices for roll-ups

Amy's frozen burritos (read the labels for the gluten free ones)

There are plenty of kids allergic to nuts so perhaps keep that in mind when going to play dates!

      Welcome to the celiac.com communiuty, @Matthias! Yes, we have been aware that this can be an issue with mushrooms but as long as they are rinsed thoroughly it should not be a problem since the mushrooms don't actually incorporate the gluten into their cellular structure. For the same reason, one needs to be careful when buying aged cheeses and products containing yeast because of the fact that they are sometimes cultured on gluten-containing substrate.

      The one kind of food I had been buying and eating without any worry for hidden gluten were unprocessed veggies. Well, yesterday I discovered yet another pitfall: cultivated mushrooms. I tried some new ones, Shimeji to be precise (used in many asian soup and rice dishes). Later, at home, I was taking a closer look at the product: the mushrooms were growing from a visible layer of shredded cereals that had not been removed. After a quick web research I learned that these mushrooms are commonly cultivated on a cereal-based medium like wheat bran. I hope that info his helpful to someone.

      I might suggest you consider buckwheat groats. https://www.amazon.com/Anthonys-Organic-Hulled-Buckwheat-Groats/dp/B0D15QDVW7/ref=sr_1_4_pp?crid=GOFG11A8ZUMU&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.bk-hCrXgLpHqKS8QJnfKJLKbKzm2BS9tIFv3P9HjJ5swL1-02C3V819UZ845_kAwnxTUM8Qa69hKl0DfHAucO827k_rh7ZclIOPtAA9KjvEEYtaeUV06FJQyCoi5dwcfXRt8dx3cJ6ctEn2VIPaaFd0nOye2TkASgSRtdtKgvXEEXknFVYURBjXen1Nc7EtAlJyJbU8EhB89ElCGFPRavEQkTFHv9V2Zh1EMAPRno7UajBpLCQ-1JfC5jKUyzfgsf7jN5L6yfZSgjhnwEbg6KKwWrKeghga8W_CAhEEw9N0.eDBrhYWsjgEFud6ZE03iun0-AEaGfNS1q4ILLjZz7Fs&dib_tag=se&keywords=buckwheat%2Bgroats&qid=1769980587&s=grocery&sprefix=buchwheat%2Bgroats%2Cgrocery%2C249&sr=1-4&th=1 Takes about 10 minutes to cook. Incidentally, I don't like quinoa either. Reminds me and smells to me like wet grass seed. When its not washed before cooking it makes me ill because of saponins in the seed coat. Yes, it can be difficult to get much dietary calcium without dairy. But in many cases, it's not the amount of calcium in the diet that is the problem but the poor uptake of it. And too much calcium supplementation can interfere with the absorption of vitamins and minerals in general because it raises gut pH.

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D. The dramatic, rapid normalization of stool frequency and form after removing wheat, along with improved tolerance of legumes and plant foods, is a classic pattern seen in gluten-driven disease rather than functional IBS. IBS usually worsens with fiber and beans, not improves. The fact that you carry HLA-DQ2.2 means celiac disease is absolutely possible, even if it’s less common than DQ2.5, and many people with DQ2.2 present later and are under-diagnosed. Your hesitation to reintroduce gluten is completely understandable — quality of life matters — and many people in your position choose to remain strictly gluten-free and treat it as medically necessary even without formal biopsy confirmation. If and when you’re ready, a physician can help you weigh options like limited gluten challenge, serology history, or documentation as “probable celiac.” What’s clear is that this wasn’t just random IBS — you identified the trigger, and your body has been very consistent in its response.
