Gluten Free Snack Discoveries!

Hi all,

 

On my quest for gluten free foods (especially junk food, for the occasion when I go stark raving mad for something junky) I have made a couple discoveries.

 

1) Wise snacks offers a variety of yummy gluten free snacks. I bought a bag of cheese puffies and plowed through it a couple weeks ago. (Hey, don't judge, the bag was mostly air anyway.) They have a great page on nutritional values and allergen content. Pretty sure Wise can be found in most stores. Wal-Mart and Kroger, at least. Link: Open Original Shared Link

 

2) Also, this may be a no-brainer, but Van's natural foods has some delicious cereals that are made from extremely nutritious, gluten free grains. "No empty calories here!" the box boasts. My favorite is Cinnamon Heaven. It's great without milk for a snack, maybe with yogurt or something like that. I bet I could make some yummy desserts with it too. I have found this at both Wal-Mart and Kroger. it's a tad expensive, but if you eat it by individual servings (I didn't with this box, I got a little scarfy again) I bet you can make it last a while. 

 

Have a great week!

Samara

Chex cereals are all gluten-free , except the yucky wheat flavor.

I think Fruity and Cocoa Pebbles say gluten-free on the box?

Most fruit snacks, Jelly Bellys, many candies....... So much junk food..... So tight jeans! :)

Thank you! I'm also a huge fan of Blue Diamond Almond nut thins. So many flavors, nutritious, and low-cal!

Glutino white yogurt covered pretzels are beyond delicious.  I can't keep them in the house, though, or my (non-Celiac) daughter will finish them before I can even get to them!  Ditto Schar Vanilla Wafer cookies.  High calorie though, but sometimes...

Mission corn tortilla chips are gluten-free.  You can make some guacamole to go with them in just a couple minutes.  Corn thins are gluten-free and can be used to hold slurps of peanut butter.  Many Planters brand nuts are gluten-free, but no all so check the label.  You should always check labels anyway of course.  You can try searching on snack ideas to find more threads.

It never occurred to me, having grown up in the town that Wise is based in, that they are a local company. Twice in Utah I have walked into Wal-Mart in the middle of the night and seen a pallet of their chips, squealed in joy and took off running. Everyone probably thought I was crazy, especially when I just started grabbing as much as I could carry... but omg there is nothing like them. No other cheese puffs compare.

OK, this cracked me up with the "yucky wheat flavor." I loved that part the best in the Chex Mix. Oh man I would pick it out and slurp it all up! The funniest thing is that for years and years I thought the reason I had "gastrointestinal problems" when I ate all of this was simply because of the extra fiber in all the cereals. 

 

Live and learn!!

Back in the 1970s my mom would make Chex mix. We all, my mom included, hated the wheat ones. But she made us eat them! When my sister & I grew up, we only used the Rice and corn in our mixes.

I can easily down a whole bag of the chocolate covered ones in one sitting. So expensive though and the gluten eaters eat my chocolate covered pretzels!

      Frequent nausea after gluten-free diet

      By petitojou · Posted

      Thank you so much! I saw some tips around the forum to make a food diary and now that I know that the community also struggles with corn, egg and soy, the puzzle pieces came together! Just yesterday I tried eating eggs and yes, he’s guilty and charged. Those there are my 3 combo nausea troublemakers. I’m going to adjust my diet ☺️ Also thank you for the information about MCAS! I’m from South America and little it’s talked about it in here. It’s honestly such a game changer now for treatment and recovery. I know I’m free from SIBO and Candida since I’ve been tested for it, but I’m still going to make a endoscopy to test for H. Pylori and Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE). Thank you again!! Have a blessed weekend 🤍

      Yes, I, too, have osteoporosis from years of malabsorption, too.  Thiamine and magnesium are what keep the calcium in place in the bones.  If one is low in magnesium, boron, selenium, zinc, copper, and other trace minerals, ones bone heath can suffer.  We need more than just calcium and Vitamin D for strong bones.  Riboflavin B 2, Folate B 9 and Pyridoxine B 6 also contribute to bone formation and strength.   Have you had your thyroid checked?  The thyroid is important to bone health as well.  The thyroid uses lots of thiamine, so a poorly functioning thyroid will affect bone heath.

      That sounds so very likely in my case! I will absolutely ask my doctor on my next bone check coming up in March... Thanks a lot!

      Calcium levels as measured in the blood can be quite deceiving as the body will rob calcium from the bones to meet demands for it by other bodily functions. Also, supplementing with calcium can be counterproductive as it tends to raise gut pH and decrease absorption. More often than not, the problem is poor absorption to begin with rather than deficiency of intake amounts in the diet. Calcium needs an acidic environment to be absorbed. This is why so many people on PPIs develop osteoporosis. The PPIs raise gut pH. And some people have high gut PH for other reasons. Low pH equates to a more acidic environment whereas high pH equates to a more basic (less acidic) environment.

      Kind thanks for all this valuable information! Since my Folate was/is low and also my Calcium, there IS a chance I am low in B vitamins... My doctor only measured the first two, oh and Zinc as I has twisted her arm and guess what, that was mega low too. So who knows, until I get myself tested properly, what else I am deficient in... I did a hair mineral test recently and it said to avoid All sources of Calcium. But this is confusing for me as my Ca is so low and I have osteoporosis because of this. It is my Adjusted Ca that is on the higher side and shouldn't be. So am not sure why the mineral test showed high Ca (well, it was medium in the test but relative to my lowish Magnesium, also via hair sample, it was high I was told). But anyway, thanks again for the VitB download, I will look into this most certainly!
