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. :(

f 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.

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!!!

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: )

      High DGP-A with normal IGA

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @rei.b,  I understand how frustrating starting a new way of eating can be.  I tried all sorts of gluten-free processed foods and just kept feeling worse.  My health didn't improve until I started the low histamine AIP diet.  It makes a big difference.   Gluten fits into opioid receptors in our bodies.  So, removing gluten can cause withdrawal symptoms and reveals the underlying discomfort.  SIBO can cause digestive symptoms.  SIBO can prevent vitamins from being absorbed by the intestines.  Thiamine insufficiency causes Gastrointestinal Beriberi (bloating, abdominal pain, nausea, diarrhea or constipation).  Thiamine is the B vitamin that runs out first because it can only be stored for two weeks.  We need more thiamine when we're sick or under emotional stress.  Gastric Beriberi is under recognised by doctors.  An Erythrocyte Transketolace Activity test is more accurate than a blood test for thiamine deficiency, but the best way to see if you're low in thiamine is to take it and look for health improvement.  Don't take Thiamine Mononitrate because the body can't utilize it well.  Try Benfotiamine.  Thiamine is water soluble, nontoxic and safe even at high doses.  I thought it was crazy, too, but simple vitamins and minerals are important.  The eight B vitamins work together, so a B Complex, Benfotiamine,  magnesium and Vitamin D really helped get my body to start healing, along with the AIP diet.  Once you heal, you add foods back in, so the AIP diet is worth doing for a few months. I do hope you'll consider the AIP diet and Benfotiamine.

      Finding gluten free ingredients

      By captaincrab55 · Posted

      Imemsm, Most of us have experienced discontinued, not currently available or products that suddenly become seasonal.   My biggest fear about relocating from Maryland to Florida 5 years ago, was being able to find gluten-free foods that fit my restricted diet.  I soon found out that the Win Dixie and Publix supper markets actually has 99% of their gluten-free foods tagged, next to the price.  The gluten-free tags opened up a  lot of foods that aren't actually marked gluten-free by the manufacture.  Now I only need to check for my other dietary restrictions.  Where my son lives in New Hartford, New York there's a Hannaford Supermarket that also has a gluten-free tag next to the price tag.  Hopefully you can locate a Supermarket within a reasonable travel distance that you can learn what foods to check out at a Supermarket close to you.  I have dermatitis herpetiformis too and I'm very sensitive to gluten and the three stores I named were very gluten-free friendly.  Good Luck

      Okay well the info about TTG-A actually makes a lot of sense and I wish the PA had explained that to me. But yes, I would assume I would have intestinal damage from eating a lot of gluten for 32 years while having all these symptoms. As far as avoiding gluten foods - I was definitely not doing that. Bread, pasta, quesadillas (with flour tortillas) and crackers are my 4 favorite foods and I ate at least one of those things multiple times a day e.g. breakfast with eggs and toast, a cheese quesadilla for lunch, and pasta for dinner, and crackers and cheese as a before bed snack. I'm not even kidding.  I'm not really big on sugar, so I don't really do sweets. I don't have any of those conditions.  I am not sure if I have the genes or not. When the geneticist did my genetic testing for EDS this year, I didn't think to ask for him to request the celiac genes so they didn't test for them, unfortunately.  I guess another expectation I had is  that if gluten was the issue, the gluten-free diet would make me feel better, and I'm 3 months in and that hasn't been the case. I am being very careful and reading every label because I didn't want to screw this up and have to do gluten-free for longer than necessary if I end up not having celiac. I'm literally checking everything, even tea and anything else prepacked like caramel dip. Honestly its making me anxious 😅

      High DGP-A with normal IGA

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      So you're saying that you think you should have severe intestinal damage since you've had the symptoms so long?   DGP IgG antibodies are produced in response to a partial gluten molecule.  This is different than what tissue transglutaminase antibodies are  produced in response to.   TTg IgA antibodies are produced in the intestines in response to gluten.  The tTg IgA antibodies attack our own cells because a structural component in our cell membranes resembles a part of gluten.  There's a correlation between the level of intestinal damage with the level of tTg antibodies produced.  You are not producing a high number of tTg IgA antibodies, so your level of tissue damage in your intestines is not very bad.  Be thankful.   There may be reasons why you are not producing a high quantity of tTg IgA antibodies.  Consuming ten grams or more of gluten a day for two weeks to two months before blood tests are done is required to get sufficient antibody production and damage to the intestines.  Some undiagnosed people tend to subconsciously avoid lots of gluten.  Cookies and cakes do not contain as much gluten as artisan breads and thick chewy pizza crust.  Anemia, diabetes and thiamine deficiency can affect IgA antibody production as well.   Do you carry genes for Celiac?  They frequently go along with EDS.

      I was tested for celiac at the same time, so I wasn't taking naltrexone yet. I say that, because I don't. The endoscopy showed some mild inflammation but was inconclusive as to celiac disease. They took several biopsies and that's all that was shown. I was not given a Marsh score.
