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

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.

      Gluten Issues and Vitamin D

      Interestingly, this thought occurred to me last night. I did find that there are studies investigating whether vitamin D deficiency can actually trigger celiac disease. Source: National Institutes of Health https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7231074/

      Guinness, can you drink it?

      Before being diagnosed coeliac I used to love Guinness. Being made from barley it should be something a coeliac shouldn’t drink.

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      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.

      Guinness, can you drink it?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      This is a very common question, and the most important thing to know is that no, Guinness is not considered safe for individuals with coeliac disease. While it's fascinating to hear anecdotes from other coeliacs who can drink it without immediate issues, this is a risky exception rather than the rule. The core issue is that Guinness is brewed from barley, which contains gluten, and the standard brewing process does not remove the gluten protein to a level safe for coeliacs (below 20ppm). For someone like you who experiences dermatitis herpetiformis, the reaction is particularly significant. DH is triggered by gluten ingestion, even without immediate gastrointestinal symptoms. So, while you may not feel an instant stomach upset, drinking a gluten-containing beer like Guinness could very well provoke a flare-up of your skin condition days later. It would be a gamble with a potentially uncomfortable and long-lasting consequence. Fortunately, there are excellent, certified gluten-free stouts available now that can provide a safe and satisfying alternative without the risk.

      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.
