What's In Your Purse?

Anybody have any favorite tried and true go to snacks that you pack in your purse?

 

I've slacked lately on stocking my car kit and I'm thinking that I need to pack a little more in my purse. I ordered some Hellman's mayo packets in bulk and plan to keep some in my purse with a can of gluten-free vegan tuna, some gluten-free crackers, and a KIND bar. Then I have something fast, even if I don't get around to restocking my box for the car.

Sounds like some of you pack your purse with fresh food every day and carry around enough for a couple of full meals!   :D

 

 

I just try to keep a couple of light weight things, like a small pack of nuts, in case I get caught away longer than I thought.  If I know I am going to be away - then I pack a lunch.

Kareng, you  are  right --- I carry enough  for several people so  in the  event  something  happens  I can also share with  other  hungry people...When  people ride with me they  are always looking  for  my goodie  bag! even the gluten  eaters!  I do also always  have  a  bin in my  trunk with  water & juice......gluten free people  who  ride  with me always say they feel secure  when  with me & my  car.....we are  road warriors  so  many  places  there  is  nothing  gluten-free   to  eat along  our  journeys.....

Yes, I just carry peanuts but it is enough peanuts to feed me and three gluten-free boys in case lunch is delayed by an hour or so.  LOL

Kind bars, mixed nuts and GoPicnic meals. If you have not heard of GoPicnic they are fantastic for a more substantial on the go meal.

For everyday, I just keep a granola bar or two in my purse in case I am stuck out and get hungry.  I also have three pillboxes in there that have any medication I may need (OTC and RX) for all my issues, and a 5 hour energy in case my lupus fatigue gets so bad I gotta have caffeine to get to where I am going. And a bottle of water- I always take one with me when I leave the house.  If I am gone for a good part of the day like my long drives and waits for specialist appointments, I will throw a bunch of water and snacks in my car and purse.  Really just depends on what is on hand.

Larabars! I used to love them just for being so healthy, but they are all gluten free too! Score! All of their bars are only made out of a few ingredients, generally one or two types of fruit mixed with some kind of nut.

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      By olivia11 · Posted

      This is really helpful  I had not considered sugar alcohols or inulin as triggers. Thanks for the practical baking tips too color coding and baking G F first makes a lot of sense.

Thiamax (TTFD) plus a B-complex, and if you want benfotiamine, the Life Extension formula covers that at ~100 mg.

      High fiber can definitely cause sudden GI distress especially if it’s a new addition but accidental gluten exposure can feel similar. Keeping a simple food/symptom log and introducing new gluten-free foods one at a time can really help you spot the pattern.

      suggest gluten free food

      By olivia11 · Posted

      Thanks for asking  I’m mainly looking for gluten-free staples and snacks. Any recommendations for brands or go-to items would be appreciated.

      sorry a bit confused so I should take my B complex along with Objective Nutrients Thiamax for TTFD but what about a Benfotiamine to take. The Life extensions contains Benfotiamine and Thiamine together or im confusing myself. I am trying to see if I take Thiamax what should I take for Benfotiamine. Thanks EDITING after further research I see ones water soluble ones fat soluble. So I guess 100MG as you suggested of Life Extension contains Benfotiamine and Thiamine Hydrochloride. and the Objective Nutrients Thiamax contains TTFD.     would work for me.

      Build muscle back feeling weak?

      By Rogol72 · Posted

      I put on over 12kg by eating protein with every meal, 3 to 5 times a day. Eggs, Chicken, Tuna, Turkey etc. I stay away from too much red meat as it can be inflammatory. Scott is correct. I've come across a bunch of Coeliac PT's on Tiktok and Instagram. They all say the same thing, the key is getting enough protein and consistency.
