What Can I Eat For Lunch

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.

      @Aretaeus Cappadocia thank you for your reply and the link, that is very helpful to get a visual of just how small of an amount can cause a reaction. I know I am not consuming gluten or coming into contact with gluten from any other source. I will stop touching/tossing bread outside! My diet has not changed, and I do not have reactions to the things I am currently eating, which are few in number. My auto immune reaction just seems so severe. The abdominal pain is extreme. It takes a lot out of me. I guess I will be this way for the rest of my life if I ever happen to come into contact with gluten? I appreciate the help.

      Thankyou I did find out the Infectious disease is the route to go rather than dermatologist. I did reach out to two major hospitals and currently waiting on approval for one of them in Infectious Diseases to call me. I also did have implants ( I didn't know and sense not properly in my medical. Neither did surgeon)in 2006 and there was a leak 2023 during the same time I was dealing with covid, digestive issues, eyes and skin.Considering I " should  be fine" not consuming gluten/wheat, taking vitamins for sibo and STILL feeling terrible.It has to be parasites. I also take individual eye drops prescribed, could there be an issue there? Anyways my pcp thinks I need therapy because again they don't acknowledge my digestive issues because in my records it shows im fine, hintz the reason I had to go back to bay area hospital:(  I thought skin issues maybe sibo related but I feel and have seen and seriously trying not to think about it because it's disgusting.

      oops. I didn't see that before posting or I would have at least referenced it. The two recipes are pretty similar, but I think the newer one is a little simpler/faster. Next time though I will search more before posting.

      I love Middle Eastern food and eggplant, and here is another version we shared some time back:

      The following two lists are very helpful for anyone who is gluten sensitive and needs to avoid gluten when shopping. It's very important to learn to read labels and understand sources of hidden gluten, and to know some general information about product labelling--for example in the USA if wheat is a possible allergen it must be declared on a product's ingredient label like this: Allergens: Wheat.
