Hey,

well ok i am a huge snacker. i have never been one for eating huge meals i tend to eat all day or at least did. now i am having troubles with what to snack on. i just started a gluten free diet but feel like i can only snack on so many fruits and vegetables in a day before i need something else. does anyone have any ideas on good tasting gluten free snack foods? besides potato chips since i know most of those are gluten free.

I just complete my snacks into mini-meals - veggies have hummus, apples have peanut butter, tortilla chips have chunky salsa w/ beans. Small amounts of other types of things work well too - asian chicken salad, bean salad, chicken soup, etc.

I'm not much of a snacker but I really like:

nuts

dried fruit

chips/nachos with salsa

celery/apples with peanut butter

yogurt with fresh fruit and nuts

and chocolate is always good :P;)

Can you whip up a batch of gluten free cupcakes? I like making mini ones, and sticking them in the fridge so they last all week :)

I'm a total snacker and junk-fooder.

Easy Cheese (the spray stuff) on Ener-G Wheat-Free Crackers or celery. FYI, the bacon Easy Cheese has gluten.

PB on Celery or apples

Cream cheese on celery or gluten-free crackers

Cool Ranch Doritos

Cheetos

Reese's PB cups, M&Ms (most of them, not the crispy for sure), Butterfingers, Snickers.

Homemade french fries - just cut them up and bake them. Or even microwave them.

Hope that helps.

Hey.

Cheetos In Australia are not gluten free and neither are m&ms.

Chesse celerey and rice crackers make a good snack or try Popcorn

It is proably more of a lucnh thing but I like this as a snack.

Put some chesse, ham, tomato or whatever you like on some bread and put in the oven kinda like an open grill. I think the doing it the oven makes the bread taste better than grilling it.

You could also try making little bite size quiches.

nuts/seeds

raisins

hard boiled eggs

homemade pancakes/flat bread with peanut butter or other nut butters

Rice cake with peanut butter and marshmellow cream.

Veggies and dip

tortilla chips with mashed beans

bean and cheese quesadillas

home made cookies (try some flourless peanut butter ones!)

string cheese

yogurt

cottage cheese

I really like to nuke or steam a whole yam, or a few. Put them in the fridge to cool, and then slice them in circles. They become nice and sweet after being refridgerated in their skins.

Cream of rice cereal cooked with Vanilla rice milk is a nice quick snack too.

I like to make mini meatballs with ground turkey and eat those too.

Oh, and rice pudding, chocolate pudding..

wow, I eat a lot of dairy. haha

Ener-G (sp?) gluten-free pretzels. They're really good w/ an apple.

Sorry Cody. I didn't see this originally. I know there are other flavors of Doritos that are gluten-free (not the classic Nacho unfortunately...) I'm not sure what the other ones are. I'm a Cool Ranch girl, myself.

I buy the Ener-G Wheat Free Crackers, which are also gluten-free. They remind me a LOT of Carr's Water Crackers. They don't crumble. They hold together really well. My kids both even like them. Can't keep them out of the EZ Cheeze and Ener-G Crackers. My 2yo even eats them plain.

Can't go wrong with fresh fruits and vegetables (apples, carrots, etc.) Add some protein in the form of cheese or peanut butter and you'll be set.

      Frequent nausea after gluten-free diet

      By petitojou · Posted

      Thank you so much! I saw some tips around the forum to make a food diary and now that I know that the community also struggles with corn, egg and soy, the puzzle pieces came together! Just yesterday I tried eating eggs and yes, he’s guilty and charged. Those there are my 3 combo nausea troublemakers. I’m going to adjust my diet ☺️ Also thank you for the information about MCAS! I’m from South America and little it’s talked about it in here. It’s honestly such a game changer now for treatment and recovery. I know I’m free from SIBO and Candida since I’ve been tested for it, but I’m still going to make a endoscopy to test for H. Pylori and Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE). Thank you again!! Have a blessed weekend 🤍

      Yes, I, too, have osteoporosis from years of malabsorption, too.  Thiamine and magnesium are what keep the calcium in place in the bones.  If one is low in magnesium, boron, selenium, zinc, copper, and other trace minerals, ones bone heath can suffer.  We need more than just calcium and Vitamin D for strong bones.  Riboflavin B 2, Folate B 9 and Pyridoxine B 6 also contribute to bone formation and strength.   Have you had your thyroid checked?  The thyroid is important to bone health as well.  The thyroid uses lots of thiamine, so a poorly functioning thyroid will affect bone heath.

      That sounds so very likely in my case! I will absolutely ask my doctor on my next bone check coming up in March... Thanks a lot!

      Calcium levels as measured in the blood can be quite deceiving as the body will rob calcium from the bones to meet demands for it by other bodily functions. Also, supplementing with calcium can be counterproductive as it tends to raise gut pH and decrease absorption. More often than not, the problem is poor absorption to begin with rather than deficiency of intake amounts in the diet. Calcium needs an acidic environment to be absorbed. This is why so many people on PPIs develop osteoporosis. The PPIs raise gut pH. And some people have high gut PH for other reasons. Low pH equates to a more acidic environment whereas high pH equates to a more basic (less acidic) environment.

      Kind thanks for all this valuable information! Since my Folate was/is low and also my Calcium, there IS a chance I am low in B vitamins... My doctor only measured the first two, oh and Zinc as I has twisted her arm and guess what, that was mega low too. So who knows, until I get myself tested properly, what else I am deficient in... I did a hair mineral test recently and it said to avoid All sources of Calcium. But this is confusing for me as my Ca is so low and I have osteoporosis because of this. It is my Adjusted Ca that is on the higher side and shouldn't be. So am not sure why the mineral test showed high Ca (well, it was medium in the test but relative to my lowish Magnesium, also via hair sample, it was high I was told). But anyway, thanks again for the VitB download, I will look into this most certainly!
