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.

      celiac disease and braces

      Hello, My 17 yr old daughter was diagnosed with celiac disease 2 yrs ago. She does not have gum disease and no history of cavities. Her dentist is recommending braces for her lower teeth but I read it may worsen gum recession or possibly increase cavity risk which I know are already issues for patients with celiac. Has anyone here had braces and...

      Sainsbury's Free From White Sliced Bread - Now Egg Free - Completely Ruined It

      This is a common experience across the board with various brands of gluten-free bread products. Prices go up, size goes down. Removal of the egg component may be for the purpose of cost-cutting related to bird flu supply shortages or it may be catering to those with egg allergy/sensitivity, fairly common in the celiac community.

      My only proof

      Years ago a friend and I drove north into Canada hoping to find a ski resort open in late spring,We were in my VW and found a small ski area near a small town and started up this gravelled road up a mountain. We got about halfway up and got stuck in the mud. We tried everything we could think of but an hour later we were still stuck. Finally a pickup came...

      celiac disease and braces

      By Anne G · Posted

      Hello, My 17 yr old daughter was diagnosed with celiac disease 2 yrs ago. She does not have gum disease and no history of cavities. Her dentist is recommending braces for her lower teeth but I read it may worsen gum recession or possibly increase cavity risk which I know are already issues for patients with celiac. Has anyone here had braces and did it cause any problems or issues with gum recession?  Her dentist seemed oblivious that celiac patients are at higher risk of gum disease /cavities. Her bottom teeth are crooked but are pretty hidden even when she smiles. Thank you!!

      Living with Coeliac Disease since birth, Bread has always been an issue, never too nice, small slices and always overpriced, But Sainsbury's Free From White Sliced Bread seemed to me to be an exception with it's large uniform 12 x 12cm slices that had the bounce, texture and taste of white bread even after toasting with no issue that it was also Milk Free. Unfortunately Sainsbury's have changed the recipe and have made it 'Egg Free' too and it has lost everything that made the original loaf so unique. Now the loaf is unevenly risen with 8 x 8cm slices at best, having lost it's bounce with the texture dense and cake like after toasting resembling nothing like White Bread anymore. Unsure as to why they have had to make it 'Egg Free' as the price is the same at £1.90 a loaf. Anyone else experiencing the same issue with it? - also any recommendations for White Bread that isn't prescription? / Tesco's / Asda's are ok but Sainsbury's was superior.

      Years  ago a friend and I drove north into Canada hoping to find a ski resort open in late spring,We were in my VW and found a small ski area near a small town and started up this gravelled road up a mountain. We  got about halfway up and got stuck in the mud. We tried everything we could think of but an hour later we were still stuck. Finally a pickup came down the road, laughed at our situation, then pulled the VW free of the mud. We followed him back to the ski area where where he started up the rope ski lift and we had an enjoyable hour of skiing and gave us a shot of aquavit  before we left.It was a great rescue.  In some ways this reminds me of your situation. You are waiting for a rescue and you have chosen medical practitioners to do it now or as soon as possible. As you have found out the med. experts have not learned how to help you. You face years of continuing to feel horrible, frustrated searching for your rescuer to save you. You can break away from from this pattern of thinking and you have begun breaking  away by using some herbs and supplements from doTerra. Now you can start trying some of the suggestions thatother Celiacs have written to your original posts.  You live with other people who eat gluten foods. Cross contamination is very possible. Are you sure that their food is completely separate from their food. It  is not only the gluten grains you need to avoid (wheat, barley, rye) but possibly oats, cows milk also. Whenever you fall back into that angry and frustrated way of thinking get up and walk around for a whild. You will learn ways to break that way of thinking about your problems.  Best wishes for your future. May you enjpy a better life.

      Are Lindt chocolate balls gluten free?

      By marion wheaton · Posted

      Thanks for responding. I researched further and Lindt Lindor chocolate balls do contain barely malt powder which contains gluten. I was surprised at all of the conflicting information I found when I checked online.
