Going on a road trip. What adults with celiac disease, would you put in your cooler or food bucket, for an extended road trip? (extended, one week).?

I would pack lots of nuts, rasins, peanutbutter, rice cakes, LARA bars, some apples, lunch meat in the cooler, maybe some packets of grits to stop and add water to on the road for breakfast. Some sort of candy, chocolate..

I just went on a motorcycle trip to Montana for ten days - smaller "trunks" to pack and no cooler. But I found that what I appreciated:

my mustard

my lunch meat

my trail mix

my granola bars

sometimes I had rice milk or almond milk for getting tea lattes (don't normally drink these, but I got REALLY cold at times on that bike - Montana weather is WEIRD - and it helped)

What I took that I didn't eat that I thought I would:

granola bars. (okay, they're on both lists, but I took so many it was silly)

instant hot quinoa cereal. didn't eat it because the flavor was AWFUL (new for me)

Bought along the way:

avocados

apples

etc.

mustard was important. and a knife.

I tend to bring luncheon meat, cheese sticks, cottage cheese with pineapple (if you can have dairy). Gluten free crackers (which you can put peanut butter, meat and or cheese, etc. on). Gluten free jerky (if you can find it). gluten-free cookies, gluten-free bannana bread. gluten-free trail mix with nuts, dried fruit with some m&m's or chocolate stars. Cheetos or cool ranch doritos. Chocolate milk.

      Breastfeeding and Celiac

      First, it’s amazing how proactive you’re being for your whole family—that’s such a gift to your kids! Regarding breastfeeding and gluten: Current research suggests gluten proteins (the problematic part) don’t pass into breastmilk, only smaller gluten peptides that aren’t likely to trigger celiac. So unless you notice direct symptoms in your 1-year-old (e...

      FDA says that most drugs are gluten-free???

      For most celiacs prescription medications, even if they used wheat starch as an ingredient, would not contain enough gluten to trigger issues, however, for those who are super sensitive even tiny amounts of gluten can be an issue. You can search this site for prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more...

      Do I have Celiac’s Disease?

      Welcome! It’s great that you’re getting answers through testing, even if it feels overwhelming right now. Your results show mostly normal ranges, but the weak positive in TTG IgG could suggest gluten sensitivity or early celiac—especially since you already react to gluten. Hashimoto’s and celiac/gluten issues often overlap, so it’s smart to investigate further. ...

      Recently diagnosed with Celic disease

      Hi Stephanie, I’m so sorry you’ve been going through such a frightening and overwhelming time. A celiac diagnosis on top of gastroparesis and gastritis is a lot to process, and your feelings are completely valid. It’s wonderful that you have such a strong support system—leaning on them (and your faith) will make this journey easier. The gluten-free transit...

      Decreasing tTiga?

      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. 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...

      Breastfeeding and Celiac

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      First, it’s amazing how proactive you’re being for your whole family—that’s such a gift to your kids! Regarding breastfeeding and gluten: Current research suggests gluten proteins (the problematic part) don’t pass into breastmilk, only smaller gluten peptides that aren’t likely to trigger celiac. So unless you notice direct symptoms in your 1-year-old (e.g., reacting after nursing when you’ve eaten gluten), most experts say you don’t need to restrict your diet solely for breastfeeding. That said, if your daughter tests positive, you might consider limiting cross-contact at home (e.g., avoiding kissing her right after gluten) since residue on your hands/face could transfer. Your plan to stay gluten-free at home but flexible outside sounds totally reasonable—many celiac households do this! The only caveat: If you end up having celiac/non-celiac gluten sensitivity (even with a negative blood test—some need biopsies!), then stricter avoidance would help your own health. Wishing you clarity as you wait for results, and cheers to that future beer with friends when possible!

You can search this site for prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/

      Do I have Celiac’s Disease?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Welcome! It’s great that you’re getting answers through testing, even if it feels overwhelming right now. Your results show mostly normal ranges, but the weak positive in TTG IgG could suggest gluten sensitivity or early celiac—especially since you already react to gluten. Hashimoto’s and celiac/gluten issues often overlap, so it’s smart to investigate further. Hopefully your doctor will clarify next steps (maybe an endoscopy or gluten-free trial?). Either way, listening to your body is key. Hang in there, and keep advocating for yourself—you’re already on the right track! The next step is likely an endoscopy to confirm celiac disease, and for that, similar to the blood panel for celiac disease, you need to be eating lots daily in the weeks leading up to it. Let us know what your doc says.

It’s wonderful that you have such a strong support system—leaning on them (and your faith) will make this journey easier. The gluten-free transition can feel daunting at first, but it does get better with time, and many people find relief once their body heals. You’re not alone in this! Sending you so much strength as you navigate these changes.

      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. 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! This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease. One test that always needs to be done is the IgA Levels/Deficiency Test (often called "Total IGA") because some people are naturally IGA deficient, and if this is the case, then certain blood tests for celiac disease might be false-negative, and other types of tests need to be done to make an accurate diagnosis. The article includes the "Mayo Clinic Protocol," which is the best overall protocol for results to be ~98% accurate.
