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.

      I'm not delaying my recovery- I was well on my way to recovering, IF I do have celiac disease by listening to my body and not eating the foods that made me feel ill. the drug I just stopped taking was making me incredibly ill and it's unfortunate and more than  a little frustrating that the dr

      Click on the image to make it larger.  Maybe doesn't work on phone browser,  That was from 2021. Absolutely, they should be tested, The point is you have symptoms that the doctors don't understand and malabsorption may be the cause.   Not trying to.  But much of your rant includes refeferences that may indicate multiple nutritional deficiencies.     Some countries also have tax incentives and financial aid for Celiacs.   Celiac disease is recognized as a disability under the ADA because it substantially limits major life activities like eating and digestive function. Protections require reasonable accommodations in public accommodations, including schools (504 plans), colleges, and hospitals. These often include providing safe, gluten-free food, though they do not force restaurants to provide it.  As far as your recovery, eat gluten free.  Get healthier now and worry about diagnosis later.  Many here on the forum have gone ten or more years looking for a diagnosis, with many doctors and many misdiagnosis along the way. It really doesn't matter why, but you cannot eat  gluten.  That is what is important.  With gluten out of the way, maybe the doctors can make sense of your remaining symptoms.  If you need the ADA, then a medical diagnosis is the way to go.  Meantime you are delaying your recovery from whichever celiac disease or NCGS and the inevitable step one of Gluten Free Diet. tWe come to share experiences and maybe it will help someone. In reality, I don't care.  By the way I have stopped 6 medications Against Medical Advice because they did not do their job and the side effects were crippling. This is a lifelong fight for your life.  Pick you battles carefully.  Assume the worst, celiac disease, and deal with it.  Denial is not just a river in Egypt. Pleased to meet you, too.
