hey everyone

Im posting because i need some ideas for new snacks. I have a mid-morning snack and an afternoon snack. Usually i will have a piece of fruit, rice bar (like a granola bar), or turkey and crackers. I am so0o0 bored of this. I cannot eat nuts, chocolate, or yogurt, so those snack ideas are out. What else can i have? Is there any gluten-free products that makes quick&tasty snacks on the go (since i work with children and cannot sit down to have a luxury snack) Any tips, comments, or advice would be appreciated. Thanks! :)

Bumblebars and Clif Nectar bars are both good. I put almond or peanut butter on them if I'm home.

My favorite snack is frozen blueberries with vanilla kifir over them, but if you can't have yogurt, I don't know whether you could have kifir.

Can you eat popcorn? You could pop it at home, and carry some with you in a zip-lock bag. I was going to also suggest Lara Bars, but noticed you said no nuts. Maybe ham and cheese roll-ups, gluten-free pretzels/cheese, or cut up veggies in place of the fruit sometimes.

Oh, I didn't notice the no nuts ... both those bars have nuts.

I like gluten-free pretzels and Natural Ruffles. Can you have cheese, what putting some grated cheese over chips and melting it in the oven or microwave for some quick nachos?

You might get some ideas in the thread about ideas for wedding hors d'ovres. Proscuitto wrapped cantelope is good, I think it's on that page.

The other day I had some corn tortillas stuffed with avocado, cucumber and mayo.

I like Food For Life sprouted corn tortillas with mayo, natural gluten-free turkey, spinach, one carrot stick, one cucumber stick, salt and pepper rolled up (heat the tortilla first). I make them in the morning and then wrap them in foil to eat later. You could roll the turkey and veggies in green leaf lettuce if you don't want to use a tortilla.

Hummus is great to snack on. You can dip veggies or rice crackers in it. Lundberg rice chips work well here too.

Enjoy Life makes snacky stuff that is free of all the allergens.

I like to make muffins with apples, carrots, flax meal and stuff like that. Then I freeze them and eat them later.

Last night I made fritattas in a muffin pan. If you can do eggs they work well. I mixed 8 eggs, canadian bacon, spring onions, tomatoes, italian herbs, sea salt and pepper, then poured into muffin tins and baked for about 15 minutes. You can freeze them and easily heat them later if you have access to a microwave. I guess that could be breakfast or a snack (thanks to all the people who have posted that idea in other threads! :) )

I love avocados and lemon for a snack or spinach with salsa and an egg. If you cook some boiled eggs and keep them in the fridge, it is easy to add protein to a salad in a pinch!

Fruits galore and veggies with dips.

We do eat a lot of nuts in our snacks, but you could sub nuts for coconut for fat/filling-ness.

So, a Wax Orchard fudge mixed with coconut flour on veggies or corn crisps (or quinoa crisps).

Also I eat things like a left over sweet potato or baked potato with lemon for a snack. I just cook extra when Im' making my meal!

I love pickled beets for a snack too!

mmm...

And making a big batch of cole slaw to snack on is great :)

Glutano's crisp bread is excellent spread with jam... It's actually excellent spread with almost anything. It makes for a great little snack, kind of like a couple of finger sandwiches. They're excellent with cheese spreads as well as well-drained tuna salad. Also, don't forget about easy stuff like cheese cubes, gluten free pretzels, Craisins, gluten free cereals, and rice cakes. Cold chicken and turkey makes a good snack too, especially if you bring a dipping sauce. BBQ is great cold, so is ranch dressing.

Wow, now I'm hungry... :D

Glutino pretzels are the BEST! My non-gluten-free friend asks me to get them for her!

Lays Stax claim to be gluten-free

Cool Ranch doritoes or Fritos

Tostitos

Laughing Cow Cheese Cubes

individual sized apple sauce - or fruit cups (small portions can be eaten quickly!)

I like apple cinnamon (or strawberry when I can find them) rice cakes with cream cheese on them or tortilla chips with hommus, cream cheese mixed with salsa, or homemade spinach dip, or baby food (fruits only, of course) with sot lecithin granules mixed in. The soy bits get squishy like tiny tapioca sort of. My coworkers tease me whenever I eat it, but it's the only one way to have mangoes and papayas for a snack when they're out of season. :P

I can get it at my local grocery store, but it's expensive. I sometimes order it online at shopbydiet.com. It's reasonably priced and you get free shipping if you order over $100.

Do you have a recipe for the apple muffins? I used to make a good one but it is not gluten free - would love to find a gluten-free apple muffin recipe that is good!

This is what I do. I modified the recipe found on the back of the Bob's Red Mill flaxmeal bag. I'm sure you can improvise a bit. I'm really not an expert when it comes to baking, but these turned out great.

2 cups Bob's Red Mill gluten-free Flour

3/4 cup flax meal

2 teaspoons cinnamon

1 teaspoon xantham gum

2 teaspoons baking soda

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 cup raw sugar (the original recipe calls for a cup. I like less)

1 teaspoon vanilla

2 large carrots shredded

2 apples peeled and chopped

3/4 cup "milk"

2 eggs

chopped walnuts and raisins can be added as well

mix dry ingredients

stir in apples and carrots

mix wet ingredients

mix it all together

pour into muffin pan and bake at 350 for about 15-20 minutes.

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Your high lactulose test, indicating out of control Small Itenstinal Bacterial O,vergrowth is one symptom.  You likely have low vitamin D, another symptom.  Unless you get lots of sun.   Celiac Disease is a disease of malabsorption, often leading to subclinical vitamin deficiencies.  A lot of people have these symptoms just before an acute phase of Celiac Disease.  Each of the symptoms can have multiple causes that are not celiac disease,  but when you start having multiple symptoms,  and each symptom is treated as a separate disease,  you have to think, maybe these are all one cause. celiac disease. There is a misconception that Celiac Disease is  a gastrointestinal disease and symptoms are only gastro related.  Wrong.  It is an autoimmune disease and has many symptoms that usually are disregarded.  I made that mistake until 63 y.o.  It can cause a dermatitis herpetiformis rash,  white spots on the brain.  It caused my alcoholism, arthritis, congested sineses, protein spots on my contacts lenses, swollen prostate, symptoms that are "part of aging". You may be tolerating gluten, the damage will happen. Of curiosity though, your age, sex, are you outside a lot without sunscreen?

      It would be interesting to see if you were tested again for blood antibodies after abandoning the gluten free diet for several weeks to a few months what the results would be. Don't misunderstand me. I'm not necessarily suggesting you do this but it is an option to think about. I guess I'm saying there is a question in my mind as to whether you actually ever had celiac disease. As I said above, the blood antibody testing can yield false positives. And it is also true that celiac-like symptoms can be produced by other medical conditions.

      Thank you for the reply In the early 2000's I did not have the endoscopy nor the biopsy I do not have those initial records I have only consulted a GI drs in the USA

      Welcome to the forum, @numike! We sometimes get reports like yours from community members who believe their celiac disease has "gone away." We think there can sometimes be cases of remission but not long term healing and that continued consumption of gluten will eventually result in a relapse. This is the state of our knowledge at this point but there is still a lot we don't know and celiac disease continues to surprise us with new findings on a frequent basis. So, we would not advise you to abandon a strict gluten-free diet. Perhaps you can draw consolation from the fact that at the present time you seem to be able to consume gluten without consequences when in situations where you do not have the option to eat gluten-free. But I would advise you to not generalize your recent experience such that you throw caution to the wind. But I want to go back to what you said about being diagnosed by blood test in the early 2000's. Did you not also have that confirmed with an endoscopy and biopsy of the small bowel lining? Normally, a celiac disease diagnosis is not concluded based on a blood test alone because there can be false positives. What kind of doctor did this testing? Was it done in the U.S. or overseas? In the last few years, it has become common in the U.K. to grant a celiac diagnosis from blood testing alone if the antibody test scores are 10x normal or greater. But that practice has not caught on in the U.S. yet and was not in place internationally in the early 2000's. Do you have a record of the tests that were done, the scores and also the reference ranges for negative vs. positive for the tests?
