Last Minute Day-trip

My MIL called me tonight and asked me if my husband had told me we were supposed to go to a harvest fair thing an hour away tomorrow morning. :blink: Uhh.... Nope. That was the first I had heard of it.

A few months ago I would have just said we couldn't go with such short notice. I've got two gluten-free kids, plus myself to cook for. Basically we're looking at 12 hours notice.

But now, no problem. Irritation, yes. Eye-rolling that my husband didn't tell me, sure. But problem? Nope.

Delimex taquitos for the kids, fruit cups and carrots on the side. I put a bread mix in the bread machine so I can make myself some sandwiches, and cooked some bacon. (Mmmm... BLT's...) Chips and gluten-free cookies for snacks. Lemonade for their drinks. All set.

Life is good.

Yes Nancy life is good.

I still try to take something with me that I can eat if I go away for a day or so, whether it is crackers or fruit, it doesn't matter. But I at least will give the food on offer a go or a look over, and if that does not suit, I can still have my crackers! And if the offerings are okay, I can leave my crackers, knowing they will be fine for another day.

Now having kids in tow, who are coeliac would be a totally different thing, and harder to manage, and it is good to see that you have that sorted out.

It has taken me time to get here, but I think after a few months I am getting quite good at feeding myself.

Good for you sounds like you are in the swing of things. That sounds like a great lunch, and snacks.

I have been meaning to post about these great tupperware type containers that I have, they are water tight, so they can float in a cooler of water (or sink) & they will not get water in them, the name is Biokips. they are in several sizes, an oblong shape and the lid has overhangs on the 4 sides that snap down. I really like them for packing food to go, especially for a cooler. I am not sure where I bought them, probably walmart, Target, or the Container Store.

It is just me, & I have no problems or inconveniences being gluten-free, but I know it is harder with kids!!!!

I'm glad you were able to make such a fantastic sounding lunch on short notice. Have fun at the harvest fair!

Yep, it turned out great. We bought apples, fudge, rode ponies and had ice cream. It all worked out great and none of us got glutened.

:D

      Global Experts Recommend Gluten Reference Dose: What It Means for Celiac Safety (+Video)

      This is FANTASTIC--especially that they are recognising barley and (potentially) oats as sources of gluten/contamination! Now if only we can get labeling guidelines to clarify "spices" and "natural flavors" for those of us with other severe allergies.

      What's your daily meals? Protein bars?

      What are your daily meals? Guilty pleasure snacks? Protein bars? I feel when looking for gluten free foods they are filled with sugar cholesterol. Looking for healthy gluten-free protein bars. Something to fill since sometimes I feel like not to eat anything. Especially if on vacation and unsure of cross contamination I figure go with a salad and protein...

      Labs ? Awaiting in person follow up with my GI

      Unfortunately, there is presently no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out. NCGS is thought to be much more common than celiac disease. We know that celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder but the mechanism of NCGS is less clear. Both call for an elimination of gluten from the diet.

      Labs ? Awaiting in person follow up with my GI

      Thanks for your reply Trents…most appreciated. I am unfamiliar with celiac labs terminology so I wanted to know if the presence of HLA variants (DA:101, DA:105, DQB1:0301 and DQB1:0501) that the labs detected had any merit in predisposing one to be more sensitive to gluten/carbs than the general population? Also, I found what you said about N...

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      Thanks bumped it up and now take all 3 vitamins 2 capsules each with the super b complex at breakfast. I will give it some time to see if I notice a difference. I am going to track my eating daily diary on a myfitness pal app to see if the "claimed" gluten free foods bother me or not.

      Thanks for your reply Trents…most appreciated.  I am unfamiliar with celiac labs terminology so I wanted to know if the presence of HLA variants (DA:101, DA:105, DQB1:0301 and DQB1:0501) that the labs detected had any merit in predisposing one to be more sensitive to gluten/carbs than the general population?  Also,  I found what you said about NCGS very interesting and I appreciate you mentioning that.  I’ve worked hard to research and advocate for myself with my Hematologist and now with a new GI, since my bowel surgery and to maintain my Vitamin B12 health concurrent with keeping my levels of Iron in the optimal range. I’ve been tested for SIBO (do not have it), biopsy showed negative for HPylori, and have had Fecal studies done (nothing showed up) and I understand how a loss of a large amount of bowel could be highly impacting re: SIBO, malabsorption and motility issues. So I’ve managed pretty well diet and elimination-wise until just recently. That said, this new problem with extreme bloating, distention and upper girth, NAFLD just occured over the last 4 months so it is new for me and I thought celiac might be a possible issue. I’ll probably just continue on in this less gluten/carbs seem to be better for me and see how reintroducing certain foods go.  Thanks again.

      Yeast extract

      By JoJo0611 · Posted

      Please can anyone help. I was diagnosed on 23rd December and I am trying my best to get my head around all the things to look out for. I have read that yeast extract is not to be eaten by coeliacs. Why? And is this all yeast extract. Or is this information wrong. Thanks.
