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.

      Is there a digestive enzyme that helps build a healthier gut? I see people taking them but not sure what really works
    • trents
      So the tTG-IGA at 28 is positive for celiac disease. There are some other medical conditions that can cause elevated tTG-IGA but this is unlikely. There are some people for whom the dairy protein casein can cause this but by far the most likely cause is celiac disease. Especially when your small bowel lining is "scalloped". Your Serum IGA 01 (aka, "total IGA") at 245 mg/dl is within normal range, indicating you are not IGA deficient. But I also think it would be wise to take your doctor's advice about the sucraid diet and avoiding dairy . . . at least until you experience healing and your gut has had a chance to heal, which can take around two years. After that, you can experiment with adding dairy back in and monitor symptoms. By the way, if you want the protein afforded by dairy but need to avoid casein, you can do so with whey protein powder. Whey is the other major protein in dairy.

      hi, i want to say thank you to you and @trents   . after 2 phone calls to my GI, her office called me back to tell me that a blood test was “unnecessary” and that we should “follow the gold standard” and since my biopsy did not indicate celiac, to follow the no dairy and sucraid diet. i luckily have expendable income and made an appt for the labcorp blood test that day. i just got my results back and it indicates celiac disease i think 😭   im honestly happy bc now i KNOW and i can go gluten free. and i am SO MAD at this doctor for dismissing me for a simple blood test that wouldn’t have cost her anything !!!!!!!!!!! im sorry, im so emotional right now, i have been sick my whole life and never knew why, i feel so much better already   my results from labcorp:   Celiac Ab tTG TIgA w/Rflx Test Current Result and Flag Previous Result and Date Units Reference Interval t-Transglutaminase (tTG) IgA 01 28 High U/mL 0-3 Negative 0 - 3 Weak Positive 4 - 10 Positive >10 Tissue Transglutaminase (tTG) has been identified as the endomysial antigen. Studies have demonstrated that endomysial IgA antibodies have over 99% specificity for gluten sensitive enteropathy. Immunoglobulin A, Qn, Serum 01 245 mg/dL 87-352

      Thank you this really helped.

      Okay that is really good to know. So with that being positive and the other being high it makes sense she diagnosed her even without the endoscopy. So glad we caught it early. She had so many symptoms though that to me it was clear something was wrong.   yeah I think we had better test us and the other kids as well.
