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?

      @xxnonamexx, There's labeling on those Trubar gluten free high fiber protein bars that say: "Manufactured in a facility that also processes peanuts, milk, soy, fish, WHEAT, sesame, and other tree nuts." You may want to avoid products made in shared facilities. If you are trying to add more fiber to your diet to ease constipation, considering...

      Celiac Disease Patients Face Higher Risk of Systemic Lupus

      What kind of practitioner did the blood test? Was this a medical doctor, a naturopathic doctor, a GI doc? I would certainly follow up with them and ask why they advised you not to eat red meat. I mean, it could be something like they, themselves, are a vegetarian and give that advice to everyone. Have you had an endoscopy with biopsy of the small bowel...

      Dizziness after eating green beans?

      @EndlessSummer, You said you had an allergy to trees. People with Birch Allergy can react to green beans (in the legume family) and other vegetables, as well as some fruits. Look into Oral Allergy Syndrome which can occur at a higher rate in Celiac Disease. Switching to a low histamine diet for a while can give your body time to rid itself of...

      Issues before diagnosis

      I found out the age of 68 that I am a celiac. When I was 16, I had my gallbladder removed when I was 24 I was put on a medication because I was told I had fibromyalgia. going to Doctor’s over many years, not one of them thought to check me out for celiac disease. I am aware that it only started being tested by bloodwork I believe in the late 9...

You may want to avoid products made in shared facilities.   If you are trying to add more fiber to your diet to ease constipation, considering eating more leafy green vegetables and cruciferous vegetables.  Not only are these high in fiber, they also are good sources of magnesium.  Many newly diagnosed are low in magnesium and B vitamins and suffer with constipation.  Thiamine Vitamin B1 and magnesium work together.  Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine has been shown to improve intestinal health.  Thiamine and magnesium are important to gastrointestinal health and function.

      Welcome to celiac.com @sha1091a! Your experience is a very common one. Celiac disease is one the most underdiagnosed and misdiagnosed medical conditions out there. The reasons are numerous. One key one is that its symptoms mimic so many other diseases. Another is ignorance on the part of the medical community with regard to the range of symptoms that celiac disease can produce. Clinicians often are only looking for classic GI symptoms and are unaware of the many other subsystems in the body that can be damaged before classic GI symptoms manifest, if ever they do. Many celiacs are of the "silent" variety and have few if any GI symptoms while all along, damage is being done to their bodies. In my case, the original symptoms were elevated liver enzymes which I endured for 13 years before I was diagnosed with celiac disease. By the grace of God my liver was not destroyed. It is common for the onset of the disease to happen 10 years before you ever get a diagnosis. Thankfully, that is slowly changing as there has developed more awareness on the part of both the medical community and the public in the past 20 years or so. Blessings!

      I found out the age of 68 that I am a celiac. When I was 16, I had my gallbladder removed when I was 24 I was put on a medication because I was told I had fibromyalgia.   going to Doctor’s over many years, not one of them thought to check me out for celiac disease. I am aware that it only started being tested by bloodwork I believe in the late 90s, but still I’m kind of confused why my gallbladder my joint pain flatulent that I complained of constantly was totally ignored. Is it not something that is taught to our medical system? It wasn’t a Doctor Who asked for the test to be done. I asked for it because of something I had read and my test came back positive. My number was quite high.Are there other people out here that had this kind of problems and they were ignored?

      Welcome to celiac.com, @EndlessSummer! Do you react to all vegetables or just specific kinds or families of them? What you describe with green beans sounds like it has an anaphylaxis component. Like you, walnuts are a problem for me. They will often give me a scratchy throat so I try to avoid them. Does it matter if the vegies are raw or will-cooked in how you react to them?
