This weekend is Mule Day in Columbia, it is a busy weekend with losts of get togethers and parties! In the past I find it hard to have something to eat there so I am thinking about bringin some stuff where I go, does anyone have any good gluten free snack foods or just pick up foods, trail or chex mixes? I thought it would be nice to have some things around the house this weekend..

Snacks that you would have to prepare:

- Sugar Nuts (peanuts, almonds, pecans, cashews coated with butter/sugar/cinnamon, then baked)

- Chex Mix (gluten free generic chex, peanuts, gluten free pretzels, butter, worcestershire sauce, garlic, then baked)

- cold cheese quesadillas with fresh salsa make a great quick snack that can be made ahead of time

- trail mix (nuts, raisins, sunflower seeds, dried fruit)

- Nut thins or Mary's Gone Crackers w/ cream cheese dip (cream cheese, cracked black pepper, garlic, basil, parsley, onion powder)

- celery and peanut butter

- Honey Bits - use your favorite gluten free cereal, mix with a small amount of honey, form into shape, then bake until not sticky

Snacks that you wouldn't have to prepare:

- Lara Bars or Clif Bars

- potato chips (Grandma Utz is labeled gluten free)

- Utz cheese balls

Hope that helps!

I alwways have Lara, Cliff or Bumble bars on me. I'll often make my own snack mix of mixed nuts, dried fruits and you could throw in the chocolate chips or MnM's.

Here's a recipe from allrecipes.com: Open Original Shared Link

INGREDIENTS:

1 egg white

1 tablespoon water

1 pound pecan halves

1 cup white sugar

3/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

DIRECTIONS:

Preheat oven to 250 degrees F (120 degrees C). Grease one baking sheet.

In a mixing bowl, whip together the egg white and water until frothy. In a separate bowl, mix together sugar, salt, and cinnamon.

Add pecans to egg whites, stir to coat the nuts evenly. Remove the nuts, and toss them in the sugar mixture until coated. Spread the nuts out on the prepared baking sheet.

Bake at 250 degrees F (120 degrees C) for 1 hour. Stir every 15 minutes

I keep meaning to try it with almonds because I'm allergic to tree nuts (almonds are in the peach family). It's got great reviews!

Here's another easy candied nut recipe:

2 generous Tbs. pure maple syrup

2 C pecans (or almonds or walnuts)

Heat syrup in a sauce pan over med. heat until it's bubbly. Add nuts and stir to coat well with the syrup. Reduce heat to med. low. Continue to stir until syrup "sugars" - it will go from moist to dry on the nuts. (This will take 3-4 minutes.) Remove from pan and cool on a plate. I usually double this in a large saucepan.

The sugar nuts are fabulous. Way better than most candies, and definitely more nutritious. Just be careful to pack them in small bags because it's REALLY easy to eat a whole bag at a time. I made that mistake more than once. You can sub melted butter for the egg and water in ChelsE's recipe. I don't know exact amounts though, I always just kind of wing it. I've never put salt in mine either and they always turn out really well. My favorites are the almonds, but I'm an almond freak. If you use pecans or walnuts, be sure to shake the excess sugar off before baking or you may end up with nuts that are too sweet to eat. I made that mistake before too.

If you want to try different variations, you can use nutmeg, clove (a VERY small amount), or vanilla extract. You can also add a little bit of cayenne pepper to spice them up if you like sweet and spicy.

Liz--That looks wonderful--I'm definately trying it. It looks easy, too (which is good) ;)

Thank you all for the suggestions, I made some trail mix stuff yesterday with peanuts, peanut butter chips, chocolate chips, rasins, almonds, and energy pretzels! it is great and it isn't even quite the weekend and I have eaten a lot of it!

I also made gluten-free rice crispies to have around the house, and my mom made some great chicken salad for me to munch on so I have a nice varity around here.

I went to wild oats today and got the Kinnick Pizza, however you spell that and am looking forward to tryin those before I go to the Mule Day Party tonight!

      In the study linked above, the little girl switched to a gluten free diet and gained enough weight that that fat pad was replenished and surgery was not needed.   Here's the full article link...

      Hello, @Jordan Carlson, So glad you're feeling better.   Tecta is a proton pump inhibitor.  PPI's also interfere with the production of the intrinsic factor needed to absorb Vitamin B12.  Increasing the amount of B12 you supplement has helped overcome the lack of intrinsic factor needed to absorb B12. Proton pump inhibitors also reduce the production of digestive juices (stomach acids).  This results in foods not being digested thoroughly.  If foods are not digested sufficiently, the vitamins and other nutrients aren't released from the food, and the body cannot absorb them.  This sets up a vicious cycle. Acid reflux and Gerd are actually symptoms of producing too little stomach acid.  Insufficient stomach acid production is seen with Thiamine and Niacin deficiencies.  PPI's like Tecta also block the transporters that pull Thiamine into cells, preventing absorption of thiamine.  Other symptoms of Thiamine deficiency are difficulty swallowing, gagging, problems with food texture, dysphagia. Other symptoms of Thiamine deficiency are symptoms of ADHD and anxiety.  Vyvanse also blocks thiamine transporters contributing further to Thiamine deficiency.  Pristiq has been shown to work better if thiamine is supplemented at the same time because thiamine is needed to make serotonin.  Doctors don't recognize anxiety and depression and adult onset ADHD as early symptoms of Thiamine deficiency. Stomach acid is needed to digest Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) in fruits and vegetables.  Ascorbic acid left undigested can cause intestinal upsets, anxiety, and heart palpitations.   Yes, a child can be born with nutritional deficiencies if the parents were deficient.  Parents who are thiamine deficient have offspring with fewer thiamine transporters on cell surfaces, making thiamine deficiency easier to develop in the children.  A person can struggle along for years with subclinical vitamin deficiencies.  Been here, done this.  Please consider supplementing with Thiamine in the form TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) which helps immensely with dysphagia and neurological symptoms like anxiety, depression, and ADHD symptoms.  Benfotiamine helps with improving intestinal health.  A B Complex and NeuroMag (a magnesium supplement), and Vitamin D are needed also.

      @pothosqueen, Welcome to the tribe! You'll want to get checked for nutritional deficiencies and start on supplementation of B vitamins, especially Thiamine Vitamin B 1.   There's some scientific evidence that the fat pad that buffers the aorta which disappears in SMA is caused by deficiency in Thiamine.   In Thiamine deficiency, the body burns its stored fat as a source of fuel.  That fat pad between the aorta and digestive system gets used as fuel, too. Ask for an Erythrocyte Transketolace Activity test to look for thiamine deficiency.  Correction of thiamine deficiency can help restore that fat pad.   Best wishes for your recovery!   Interesting Reading: Superior Mesenteric Artery Syndrome in a 6-Year-Old Girl with Final Diagnosis of Celiac Disease https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31089433/#:~:text=Affiliations,tissue and results in SMAS.

      Wow! You're pretty young to have a diagnosis of SMA syndrome. But youth also has its advantages when it comes to healing, without a doubt. You might be surprised to find out how your health improves and how much better you feel once you eliminate gluten from your diet. Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder that, when gluten is consumed, triggers an attack on the villous lining of the small bowel. This is the section of the intestines where all our nutrition is absorbed. It is made up of billions of tiny finger-like projections that create a tremendous surface area for absorbing nutrients. For the person with celiac disease, unchecked gluten consumption generates inflammation that wears down these fingers and, over time, greatly reduces the nutrient absorbing efficiency of the small bowel lining. This can generate a whole host of other nutrient deficiency related medical problems. We also now know that the autoimmune reaction to gluten is not necessarily limited to the lining of the small bowel such that celiac disease can damage other body systems and organs such as the liver and the joints and cause neurological problems.  It can take around two years for the villous lining to completely heal but most people start feeling better well before then. It's also important to realize that celiac disease can cause intolerance to some other foods whose protein structures are similar to gluten. Chief among them are dairy and oats but also eggs, corn and soy. Just keep that in mind.
