My Best Travel Tip!

I'm in the midst of a three week trip during which all I have access to is a fridge and a microwave. The last time I traveled I ate only gluten-free food in places recommended by my gluten-free app, but still got glutened. I didn't want to go through that again.

 

I am SO thankful to have discovered Amy's gluten free frozen dinners!!! They are delicious, almost all organic, have a large selection of gluten-free entrees, and can be found at almost any WalMart for around $3.50 each. Amy's really understands allergies and celiac. Their gluten-free stuff really is gluten free. 

 

This makes my life infinitely easier! Wherever I go, I know that I can stop at almost any WalMart and find some Amy's gluten-free entrees. So, so, SO glad to have discovered this solution!!!

 

 

(And no, I'm not in any way affiliated with Amy's or WalMart.) :-)

I couldn't agree with you more.  If I am going to someone's house I will tell them to just pick me up a good looking Amys dinner that says gluten-free on it and it really simplifies things. They are readily available at most chain grocery stores.  I used to take them to work, and we only had fridges to keep our lunches in, and they all heated up and tasted great when thawed to a refrigerated temperature.  That was before my diagnosis, and after when I discovered my favorite frozen dinners were still okay to eat, I was stoked!

I love Amy's dinners!

 

At home I cook from scratch, but on the road, they can be a real lifesaver and are sometimes cheaper and easier than trying to buy a bunch of ingredients and figure out how to cook with limited facilities.

 

I especially love that Amy's makes stuff that is gluten-free and DF. :)

Thanks for the idea. I am heading to the US soon and I am dreading dealing with food away from home. Having something I can heat up and eat will be much easier! I have had Amy's soups in the past but that was before I was gluten-free.

      4 Years and very little progress

      Welcome to the  forum @maylynn! Have you had a follow-up endoscopy/biopsy of the small bowel to check for healing of the villous lining? If not, it's about time one was done. As Scott mentioned, I also wonder if you have food intolerances in addition to gluten. Oats (even gluten free oats), dairy, soy, corn and eggs are some of the most common ones in the celiac community.

      Is your gluten-free diet strict? Do you eat out in restaurants? If so, you could be getting contamination, and over time that can slow recovery. You may want to get a follow up celiac disease antibody panel done to make sure that your levels have gone down since your last tests. Also, have you had various nutrient levels checked via a blood test, and have you been taking vitamin & mineral supplements since your diagnosis?  The most common nutrient deficiencies associated with celiac disease that may lead to testing for the condition include iron, vitamin D, folate (vitamin B9), vitamin B12, calcium, zinc, and magnesium.    Do you still have celiac disease symptoms?  Many people with celiac...

      Hello!  I am here as a last result, hoping for some advice, similar stories, etc. When I was 17, I was diagnosed with Celiac disease. By the time we figured it out my iron levels were so low I had to get infusions, and I had lost 20lbs. in two weeks going from a 5'11 130lbs woman to a 110 lbs. Now, I am 21 and have gained 4 lbs since. Every time I eat a meal, I get three bites in and feel so full that I feel sick. I can't eat a full meal. Something else has to be wrong right? This can't just be more "normal" right? I have done test after test and no doctor in my area can figure anything else out. They have told me I most likely have shrunken my stomach by now with how little I am eating so that has to do...
