What Can I Eat For Lunch


elbar

Recommended Posts

I would like ideas on what to eat for lunch. I work three days a week and eat lunch at work. I can manage when I am at home but it's those 3 days that are a problem. Does anyone have any suggestions? I don't have any gluten-free bread in the house, and judging by past experience, don't expect to buy any soon. I do like the rice crackers so that helps.

Thanks in advance.

Do you have a microwave and refrigerator at work? If so, leftovers would work very nicely. I also have an awesome recipe for bread/hot dog buns/hamburger buns. They make great lunches along with some french fries or veggie sticks. I also have an insanely good recipe for pizza if you're interested. I love reheated pizza for lunch. :) Really, any leftover works nicely.

I used to take my lunch in individual corningware/pyrex dishes with lids. In the Am I put in a scoop of fresh steaming rice from the rice cooker-either made that am or the night before, some mixed frozen veg.(not thawed) and a main dish from the night before-meatballs, meatloaf, salmon etc., I'd put some dressing in a small container and put this in a larger container and add mixed salad greens from the bagged varieties, then some fruit or a goodie. I warmed up the hot foods at work at lunch time. Everyone was pretty envious but it was very minimal effort. I'm not a morning person! If you don't have a rice cooker, steam the rice in the PM and put it into the pyrex dish and refrig.

I make extra when I cook on the weekends and bring leftovers to work for lunch and reheat them in the microwave. Raw vegetables, that can be eaten cold, fruit and a drink complete the meal

If for some reason I do not have access to a mircowave will bring one of the following for lunch:

Cold Chicken

Peanutbutter and Jelly on Rice Cakes

Tunafish with mayo on Rice Cakes

Tunafish (plain) on Rice Cakes with cheese.

Any Gluten Free LunchMeat on Rice Cakes with cheese and tomatoes

Something along the line of a Chef's Salad to Tuna Salad, don't forget to bring dressing.

I have an Igloo Maxcold lunch box (made for a 12 pack) I keep my lunch in so I don't have to use the refrigerator. Everything is kept cold with blue ice.

      My husband just had shingles going on 7 weeks now. We had been putting Vaseline on the blisters and lidocaine cream and he was prescribed an antiviral.  Also he still has the nerve pain it was bad and is getting better it is his upper left torso. His dr prescribed gabapentin 300mg 3x a day and he's also taking naproxen 500ng 2x a day and tylenol 1000mg every 6 hrs. Hope this helps  The lidocaine cream is by tylenol and is available in a large tube on Amazon or at Walmart

      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 bar to fill and play it safe.

      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.

      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.

      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.
