Hypostugar Stuff + gluten-free Food For Road Trip!


VydorScope

Recommended Posts

VydorScope Proficient

I need gluten-free and hyposugar freindly food for a very long road trip. If conditions are good the first leg of the trip is 14 hours of driving (stoping 3 to 4 times for gas). I was thinking maybe a "trail mix" of gluten-free ceral, rasins and peanuts? What other suggestions? We dont stop for much of anything and it will be an overnight drive will the toddle-monster sleeps.

Vincent,

I am hypo also, and we just drove 8 hours for vacation. I brought a LG. can of peanuts and a cannister of raisins and just mixed a handful from each (actually more peanuts than raisins) and ate that every 2 hours. Another thing that is good is seeds. If you buy them, beware of added MSG though. The ones I had on the road (sunflower) didn't have that, but many brands do.

Gluten free gorp is good: peanuts, m&m's (oh shush, it's not THAT much sugar in the grand scheme ;) ), gluten-free cereal of choice, raisins or crasins, sunflower seeds, almonds, soynuts (if you swing that way).

If you have a little cooler, I'm a fan of string cheese and gogurt. Lunchmeat roll-ups might be good too, with meat and cheese held together by a toothpick.

gluten-free pretzels, or rice cakes and peanut butter.

Fruits and veggies, dried fruits.

Beef jerky, if you weren't so averse to it ;)

PACK COKES JUST IN CASE!!!

Have a good trip! :)

Great ideas all!

Peanutbutter/rice cakes or the Celery idea would be tough to manage while driving though. :(

Cooler? Do ppl still use those anachic things? We have a fridge :):lol: Googurt? I thought hat was pretty sugary, so I never looked at it. Guess I should!

Stringcheese is good idea too.

Not seen Bumblebars anywhere around here yet so dunno anything about them...

PACK COKES JUST IN CASE!!!

Thats prbly a good idea. Bah. Guess will stop at Kroger on way out!

Hah! I've totally done it! If you can handle having skippy, they have a nifty squeeze tube that's good for travelling. Not the best PB in the world, but it does the job.

Sounds good to me! :) I think I've actually had that combo! Almonds are good, too...

Lucky! That's 75 bucks my husband hasn't agreed to part with yet <_<

Gogurt is kind of sugary, but it has protein in it too. Just don't eat it mid crash.

Oh, make sure you keep your levels as stable as you can. I find that when I'm up all night or don't get much sleep, my blood sugar is really wacky the whole next day and I'm ravenous!

I don't know much about sugar issues, but for me fresh fruit travels well apples, pears, bananas, etc.

If you can have nuts, get some planters peanuts or other nuts.

Potato chips don't always travel well, but they fill you up.

POPCORN!! Pop some up before you leave and put it in a big bag. If nothing else, it is a good filler. Have it with or without butter and salt.

Lastly, again sugar may be an issue, but what about making "rice krispy treats". I use fruity or cocoa pebbles instead of rice krisipies....

What kind of proportions on the rasins/peanuts/marshmellows/gluten-free ceral mix? 1/4 each maybe?

Well, since you have a refrigerator (I'm still archaic and have to use the old cooler ;) ) how about some Hormel Turkey Pepperonni. Says gluten-free right on the bag! I used to snack on these all the time. Low in fat, high in protein and deliciously spicey. If you're not worried about the fat, got for the original. I just never liked all that grease. This and string cheese used to me my favs. avoiding corn and dairy right now, so off limits :(

Tell your wife that I hope y'all have a great trip. I haven't e-mailed her in a while. Let us know how it goes!!!

At anytime I could find, I would try to find a local store wherever you are and find some fresh fruit or veggies. Anything is better than nothing solid. Hope you feel better and actually find something filling (I know the feeling :wacko: )

      @Sarah Grace,  Thank you for the update!  It's so good to hear from you!  I'm glad Thiamine, B Complex and magnesium have helped you.  Yes, it's important to take all three together.    I had to quit eating cheese and nuts a long time ago because they triggered migraines in me, too.  They are high in tyrosine, an amino acid, found also in fermented foods like sauerkraut and red wine.   I found taking Tryptophan very helpful with migraines.  Tryptophan is a precursor of serotonin and people with migraines are often low in serotonin.  (Don't take tryptophan if you're taking an SSRI.)     This recent study shows tryptophan really helps. The association between dietary tryptophan intake and migraine https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31254181/   For immediate respite from a migraine, try smiling REALLY BIG, mouth closed, tongue pressed against roof of mouth, and crinkle up your eyes like you just heard or saw the funniest thing...  This causes an endorphin release in the brain.  Usually it's the funny event, then the endorphin release and then the smile.  Smiling first makes the endorphin center think it missed something and it catches up quickly by releasing endorphins after the big crinkle eyed smile.  Must make crinkly eyes with smile or it won't work.  If you do this too frequently within a short time frame (several hours), you can deplete your endorphins, but you'll make more in a couple of hours, so no worries. Get your thyroid checked, too.  Migraines are also seen in low thyroid function (Hashimoto's or hypothyroidism).  Celiac and thyroid problems go hand in hand.   Vitamin D helps, too.  Low Vitamin D is found in migraine.   I'm so glad you're doing better.

      Its been a complete nightmare dealing with all these health issues one thing after another and being told many different things.I am looking for a new primary care physician considering when I told my past doctor of 25 years I was diagnosed before any foods eliminated from my diet and now this year at age 54 no longer able to push considering Im always exhausted, leg pain , stomach,skin and eye issues,high blood pressure to name a few all worsen because I was a  school bus driver and few years until my immune system went to hell and was fired because of it.Im still struggling now, Im sibo positive and been told im not celiac and that I am.I have a hernia and dealing with menopause. Its exhausting and is causing depression because of non medical help. Today I saw another gastrointestinalist and he said everything im feeling doesn't add up to celiac disease since my ITg levels are normal so celiac disease is under control and it's something else. I for got I had Barrett's esophagus diagnosed in 2007 because recent doctors down played it just like my celiac disease. Im currently looking for a pcp in my area because it is affecting me personally and professionally. Im told since celiac looks under control it's IBS and I need to see a therapist to control it. Gastrointestinalist around here think only food consumption and if ITG looks normal its bit celiac disease it's something else. Is this right? This is what im being told. I want medical help but told its IBS.Im feel lost by " medical team "

      My migraines generally have their onset during the early morning hours as well. Presently, I am under siege with them, having headaches all but two days so far this month. I have looked at all the things reported to be common triggers (foods, sleep patterns, weather patterns, stress, etc.). Every time I think I start to see a pattern it proves not to pan out in the long run. I'm not sure it's any one thing but may, instead, be a combination of things that coalesce at certain times. It's very frustrating. The medication (sumatriptan or "Imatrix") is effective and is the only thing that will quell the pain. NSAIDs, Tylenol, even hydrocodone doesn't touch it. But they only give you 9 does of sumatriptan a month. And it doesn't help that medical science doesn't really know what causes migraines. They know some things about it but the root cause is still a mystery.

      These are labeled gluten-free: https://www.amazon.com/Corn-Husks-Tamales-Authentic-Flavorful/dp/B01MDSHUTM/

      Just a gluten free diet is not enough.  Now you have to identify and replenish your malnutrition.  Celiac disease is co-morbid with malabsorption syndrome.  Low vitamin D, Low Thiamine caused Gastointeston Beriberi, low choline, low iodine are common the general population, and in newly diagnosed Celiacs in the western culture its is more likely.  It takes time to heal and you need to focus on vitamins and minerals.  Gluten free foods are not fortified like regular processed foods.
