Ensure, unfortunately, has dairy. As does Boost. And all the generics I saw. (I got smacked in the face by a tree this weekend, and twenty stitches in my lip and chin are making real food a problem, and I *WISH* that the enriched meal substitutes were an option, because homemade smoothies, tastier though they may be, are not as complete of a meal without going out and buying expensive liquid multivitamins, and it's hard to justify for just a few days.)

Smacked by a tree?? You poor thing! Hope you heal quickly....

Oooh, wow, hope you are better soon. You could alway do the puree thing. Not tastey at all for meats and veggies, but at least you could get those thing in.

I LOVE my chocolate Bumble Bars. I also love Lara Bars and Clif Nectar bars...with any bar I usually put a nut butter on it...I like fat, lol. Fat is about the only thing that keeps me full.

Okay I'm going to consider this one of the great little secrets I learned from this board. After reading that this morning I went to Whole Foods during my luch hour and picked up some chocolate Clif Nectar Bars and a jar of peanut butter. So good!!! Thanks for the idea. I probably wouldn't have thought of it.

OK- even though I recommended Lara bars because they are better for you than a lot of other stuff out there, I have to admit, I don't really like them. So, I'm going to look into Clif Nectar and Bumble Bars. Which ones are crispier (I'm a crispy texture person)? Which flavors do you recommend?

Clif Nectar bars aren't crispy, but the flavor is good. The chocolate ones are great if you like chocolate. I like them much better than Lara Bars. Haven't tried Bumble Bars but I'm thinking they are on the crispier side...

Yea--the Cliff Nectars are very chewy. I agree that their chocolate one is better than the Lara Cocoa one.

Bumblebars are sesame seeds, flax seeds, and nuts held together with honey (basically) ... the chocolate is different. I like all flavors, but the chocolate is the best because I'm a woman and women love chocolate! Never thought of adding peanut butter ... great idea!!!

I buy lots of Lara bars, too. Great for you, but I didn't know that they'd be good for the purposes here since they are mostly dried fruit. Now, my husband ate a bite of a Lara bar, then said that my cross would be too much for him to bear. I guess he didn't like it. My teenage daughter loves them and eats them daily as a snack after school before track.

Did you know that if you are lactose intolerant you may be able to tolerate raw cheeses. They are better for you and taste great. They still have the enzymes needed to help you digest. Pasterized cheeses lose the enzymes. Google raw dairy and read about the benefits. You could also try sheep, goat, or water buffalo yogurts. I eat the last one without problems. They are at whole Foods and the company is Woodstock farms out of Vermont. You can also get it on line. Buy it plain and try a little liquid stevia for sweetness. The ones sweetened with maple syrup and honey don't seem to bother my hypoglycemia either.

I don't have much time to read all replies right now... I just wanted to add something.

I just ordered from Market Day. I haven't tried it yet, but they have frozen omletes. You said your son can't have eggs, but if it was frozen and you could just take to work, that might work for you??

Good luck!

I just tried something great. It is called Mrs. May's. They are bags of "granola" they have all different kinds. They are all gluten-free, dairy free, low carb and very good. They aren't too sweet. They travel well and could be addictive. The website is www.mrsmays.com. They are at walmart, target, wholefoods (probably much more expensive there) and sam's club.

Almond butter (or peanut butter) on celery or a rice cake makes a quick and easy breakfast or snack. I also keep raw almonds in my desk at work and on hand at home. When I make smoothies for breakfast, I add rice protein powder to them so they aren't all carbs. If you can find some good sausage, it's an easy thing to make ahead and refrigerate/freeze in ziploc bags for easy breakfasts on the go. I can't do eggs, dairy or soy either and breakfast really is the hardest meal if you're trying to keep the carbs down.

The Bumble Bars are crisp and taste oh so good by themselves, but really good with some nut butter on it. :) They are thin and crispy.

I tend to put nut butter on just about anything, lol. Even tried it on a pear last night...not quite as good as an apple, but it'll do. :D

went to Whole Foods in search of Bumble Bars- no luck. But I got a Clif Nectar vanilla lemon ad while it wasn't crispy, I liked it! I liked it MUCH better than Lara Bars. I will search on for the Bumble.....

I get my Bumblebars at a local health food store that has a large gluten-free section. They carry three flavors. Wild Oats carries the original flavor. I think you can buy them online at bumblebar.com.

You can't go wrong with crispy bacon and raw red pepper strips. Cold boiled eggs are okay. Potato chips. Popcorn. Guacamole. Leftover anything from dinner reheated in the microwave. Hot rice cereal with chopped almonds. Home roasted almonds.

Hope these things help!

Oh I fear something has gone wrong!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i am 99% sure I got glutened. Feel like heck- headache, nausea, the usual symptoms. Any chance of CC with the CLIF Nectar bar? It's either that or I made homemade falafel last night with arrowhead Mills brown rice flour and ate the leftovers for lunch today. I've used it before, but not in awhile.

I'm definitely reacting to something. darn!!!!!

And FYI: This is the disclaimer on CLIF Nectar bars:Strictly speaking, No. Clif Bar Inc. specifies to our bakers that ingredients going into CLIF Nectar do not contain gluten. The food manufacturing process however, is such that we cannot guarantee that trace amounts of gluten will never turn up in our products. These trace amounts can appear despite our best ongoing quality control efforts. If you are profoundly allergic to gluten, you may want to consider not consuming our products or take the same precautions you do with all other pre-packaged and processed foods.

And as many of you know, I'm usually one of the lucky ones. :( An I liked that one too.

I've never reacted to a Clif Nectar bar, but it's a packaged, processed food, even if it's a fairly benign one at that. Can't be ruled out, but neither can the other stuff. With things like that, however, that I've had before without having a problem, I don't throw out the potentially offending item immediately. A LOT of things can go wrong with our bodies, and I give things that have been fine in the past a second change - a number of weeks later when I'm totally healthy - to rule out things like a stomach bug, or other contamination event that I'm unaware of.

Yep- Tiffany- that's usually my M.O. too. Unless the reaction is so severe then ANY potentially offending items all go. At least for a long while.

I wish they made gluten detectors you could carry with you, stick into something and then decide whether or not to eat it. I've heard they do but they're not very reliable. Ahh.. a future invention to dream about.

I keep a small pantry of food at my desk so I can just grab something when I get hungry. For my mid-morning snack, I love to have a rice cake (peanut butter choc are the best) and put peanut butter on them. Delish. I also have fruit, lays stax, and EnerG pretzels.

Thanks for starting this thread, it has given me a lot more ideas.

I keep raw almonds in my desk. They keep for quite a while, and have a good fat/protein ratio. :-) Crunchy too!

      Outgrow celiac?

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      @Riley., Welcome to the forum.   It was once believed that Celiac Disease was only a childhood disease and it can be outgrown.  That was before 1951, before gluten was discovered to be cause of Celiac Disease, also called Infantilism.  Back then Cileac Disease was thought to be only a gastro intestinal disease, once you  "outgrew" the colicky phase, you were cured. You were so lucky to be diagnosed at 5 years old so your developing years were normal.  Gluten can affect multiple systems.  The nervous system, your intellegence. The muscules, skeleton. It can cause neurological issues like brain fog, anxiety, and peripheral neuropathy.  It can cause joint pain, muscle weakness, and skin rashes. Epilepsy is 1.8 times more prevalent in patients with celiac disease, compared to the general population. Because through malabsorption and food avoidances, it causes vitamin D and numerouus other essential nutrient deficiencies, it allows allergies, infections, poor growth, stuffy sinuses and eustacian tubes. There is even a catagory of celiac disease called "Silent Celiac".  Any symptoms are explained away as this, that or the other thing. Gluten is one of the most addictive substances we consume.  Activating the Opiod receptors in our cells, it can numb us to the damage that it, and other foods are causing.  It has become socially acceptable to eat foods that make us feel sick.  "There's a pill for that".   It is generally accepted that n fact you are weird if you don't. The hardest part is that if you don't eat gluten you will feel great and think why not.  But slowly it will effect you, you'll be diagnosed with real diseases that you don't have. You'll be more susseptable to other autoimmune diseases.  As you read through the posts here, notice how many are finally dianosed, after years of suffering at older ages.  Is it worth it? I think not. Perhaps this book will help:  Here is a list of possible symptoms:

      Outgrow celiac?

      By Riley. · Posted

      Hi! Im Riley, 18 years old and have been diagnosed for 13 years.. the testing started bc I stopped growing and didn’t gain any weight and was really small and thin for my age.  I got diagnosed when I was 5 and have been living gluten free since, in elementary and middle school it was hard for me and I kept contaminating myself bc I wanted to fit in with my friends so so badly. I ate gluten secretly at school and mostly regretted it 30 minutes later.  I’ve had symptoms like diarrhea, nausea, headaches, stomachaches, threw up a lot and was really emotional.  In 2022 I really started working on myself and tried to stay gluten free and if I did eat gluten I wouldn’t tell anyone and suffer in silence.  Last year in July I begged my mom to let me „cheat“ one day bc I just wanted to fit in… I ate a lot of different stuff, all the stuff I missed out on in my childhood like nuggets, pizza and all that.. I didn’t have symptoms that day and was doing really fine My mom and I wanted to test how far we can go and said we would test it for 12 weeks to get my blood taken after to see if I’m doing good or if symptoms start showing  As a now 18 year old girl who finally gained a normal weight and doesn’t get symptoms I’m to scared to get tested/my blood taken cuz I finally found comfort in food and it got so much easier for me and my family.  A year and 4 months later i still didn’t get any symptoms and have been eating gluten daily.  I’m scared to get tested/my blood taken cuz what if I’m actually not fine and have to go back to eating gluten free. Any tips to get over that fear and „suck it up“ cuz I know I could seriously damage my body… sorry if I seem like a idiot here… just don’t really know what to do :,)

      There is much helpful 'truth' posted on this forum. Truths about Celiac Disease are based on scientific research and people's experience. Celiac disease is inherited. There are 2 main Celiac 'genes' but they are variations of one gene called HLa - DQ What is inherited when a person inherits one or both of the DQ2 or the DQ8 is a predisposition to develop celiac disease after exposure to a environmental trigger. These 2 versions of the DQ gene are useful in diagnosing  celiac disease but there are about 25 other genes that are known to influence celiac disease so this food intolerance is a multigenic autoimmune disease. So with so many genes involved and each person inheriting a different array of these other genes one person's symptoms may be different than another's symptoms.  so many of these other genes.  I don't think that much research on these other genes as yet. So first I wrote something that seem to tie together celiac disease and migraines.  Then you posted that you had migraines and since you went gluten free they only come back when you are glutened. Then Scott showed an article that reported no connection between migraines and celiac disease, Then Trents wrote that it was possible that celiacs had more migraines  and some believed there was a causal effect. You are each telling the truth as you know it or experienced it.

      Aldi Pueblo Lindo Yellow Corn Tortillas

      By tiffanygosci · Posted

      Another annoying thing about trying to figure this Celiac life out is reading all of the labels and considering every choice. I shop at Aldi every week and have been for years. I was just officially diagnosed Celiac a couple weeks ago this October after my endoscopy. I've been encouraged by my local Aldi in that they have a lot of gluten free products and clearly labeled foods. I usually buy Milagro corn tortillas because they are cheap and are certified. However, I bought a package of Aldi's Pueblo Lindo Yellow Corn Tortillas without looking too closely (I was assuming they were fine... assuming never gets us anywhere good lol) it doesn't list any wheat products and doesn't say it was processed in a facility with wheat. It has a label that it's lactose free (hello, what?? When has dairy ever been in a tortilla?) Just, ugh. If they can add that label then why can't they just say something is gluten free or not? I did eat some of the tortillas and didn't notice any symptoms but I'm just not sure if it's safe. So I'll probably have to let my family eat them and stick with Milagro. There is way too much uncertainty with this but I guess you just have to stick with the clearly labeled products? I am still learning!

      Thank you all for sharing your experiences! And I am very thankful for that Thanksgiving article, Scott! I will look into it more as I plan my little dinner to bring with on the Holiday I'm also glad a lot of research has been done for Celiac. There's still a lot to learn and discover. And everyone has different symptoms. For me, I get a bad headache right away after eating gluten. Reoccurring migraines and visual disturbances were actually what got my PCP to order a Celiac Panel. I'm glad he did! I feel like when the inflammation hits my body it targets my head, gut, and lower back. I'm still figuring things out but that's what I've noticed after eating gluten! I have been eating gluten-free for almost two months now and haven't had such severe symptoms. I ate a couple accidents along the way but I'm doing a lot better
