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. :(

Sounds yummy... but I dont have m&m's so maybe some mini marshmellows? I have them! Seeds... Im not a fan of... last I checked I was not a birdie! :lol: SO what I bascily have is peanuts, rasins and mini-marshmellows LOL

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!!!

Could it be that you feel "junky" because YOU STAID UP DRIVING ALL NIGHT? :P Glad y'all made it safely. Enjoy the rest of the trip.

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: )

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By trents · Posted

      NCGS does not cause damage to the small bowel villi so, if indeed you were not skimping on gluten when you had the antibody blood testing done, it is likely you have celiac disease.

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I will assume you did the gluten challenge properly and were eating a lot of gluten daily for 6-8 weeks before your test, but if not, that could be the issue. You can still have celiac disease with negative blood test results, although it's not as common:  Clinical and genetic profile of patients with seronegative coeliac disease: the natural history and response to gluten-free diet: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5606118/  Seronegative Celiac Disease - A Challenging Case: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9441776/  Enteropathies with villous atrophy but negative coeliac serology in adults: current issues: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34764141/  Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS.

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By Xravith · Posted

      I'm very confused... My blood test came out negative, I checked all antibodies. I suppose my Total IgA levels are normal (132 mg/dl), so the test should be reliable. Still, I'm not relieved as I can't tolerate even a single biscuit. I need to talk to my doctor about whether a duodenal biopsy is necessary. But it is really possible to have intestinal damage despite having a seronegative results? I have really strong symptoms, and I don't want to keep skipping university lectures or being bedridden at home.

      They may want to also eliminate other possible causes for your symptoms/issues and are doing additional tests.  Here is info about blood tests for celiac disease--if positive an endoscopy where biopsies of your intestinal villi are taken to confirm is the typical follow up.

      New labs are now very elevated

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      In the Europe the new protocol for making a celiac disease diagnosis in children is if their tTg-IgA (tissue transglutaminase IgA) levels are 10 times or above the positive level for celiac disease--and you are above that level. According to the latest research, if the blood test results are at certain high levels that range between 5-10 times the reference range for a positive celiac disease diagnosis, it may not be necessary to confirm the results using an endoscopy/biopsy: Blood Test Alone Can Diagnose Celiac Disease in Most Children and Adults TGA-IgA at or Above Five Times Normal Limit in Kids Indicates Celiac Disease in Nearly All Cases No More Biopsies to Diagnose Celiac Disease in Children! May I ask why you've had so many past tTg-IgA tests done, and many of them seem to have been done 3 times during short time intervals?
