Okay ... My toddler has made much progress since last year .. he is wheat intolerant / not positive for Celiac.

We are making out first long distance trip .. ( making the trip and possibly having to get him food out is the problem..... I cant pull along side the road and scramble some eggs... ) Help What can he eat... I read about wendys french fries... But besides taking some food onthe plane ... I am flying southwest... What can he eat that i dont have to worry about being in the car with a vomiter. I will have gluten free bread and trix and corn puffs .. but that is only going to last for a while.. I have 6 hours to entertain him... Help ... wendys hamburgers with out the bun I heard is fine .. but help I cant find any of the old posts.... Help ... help help . thanks

How about some Lara bars? I tried those and they are nice (I shouldn't really eat them, as they are high in salicylates, but I needed something). Also, does he like things like carrot and celery sticks? Those keep for quite a while in Ziplock bags.

Wendy's chili and Frosties are gluten-free. Be sure to check whether they have a dedicated fryer before ordering the fries.

Chick-fil-a's grilled chicken salad (my kids like salad, don't know if yours does) and waffle fries are gluten-free.

Hardee's has "low carb" burgers wrapped in lettuce leafs. You wouldn't believe how happy my 13 year old was to be able to order a burger at a fast-food place!

Buffalo Wild Wings -- except for the Asian and Teriyaki, the sauces are gluten-free, but you HAVE to get them ON THE SIDE. They mix the breaded chicken in the same bowls.

Bumblebars are good.

What about gluten-free cookies?

Envirokids bars.

Peanut butter and crackers.

You should really bring a cooler filled with foods he normally eats. I might be misunderstanding but do you have a 6 hour drive after the flight? If there are grocery or health food stores along the way, it would be safer to stop at those rather than fast food places. That way you can get new ice (or bags of frozen fruit) to keep your cooler cold as well. I'd list snack ideas but I'm sure most of the snacks he normally eats can be brought along on the trip :)

No the 6 hours is leaving and waiting to get on the plane. Yeah I think its excessive but you have to check in and I have a 1 1/2 hour drive to get there. so there is not a opportunity of stopping or running out to get something from whole foods while waiting for my plane..see my problem...

So snacks trix cereal .... corn puffs .. gerber wheels ...

We ordered scrambled eggs at a resturaunt ... that worked no vomiting... But I will write down the places.... See my baby is the only one suffering. NO ONE else is ,, so that is a problem when we are all eating our food ... what is he supposed to do . He is also a picky eater... I have introduced energy breads he likes them .. but only with cheese on them ... ???????? I have tried everything... He knows some thing is up with food .... He just doesn not know what. ... He is really smart. But that is my problem .

Just bring plenty of cereal and gerber wheels and Energ bread with cheese to the airport and hopefully everything will go well. I know it's hard to travel with a toddler, but bringing 6 hours worth of food into an airport is easy...I'm sure you'll be fine :)

      Help I’m cross contaminating myself,

      So I should not eat my gluten free bread?  I will try the vitamins.  Thank you all so very much for your ideas and understanding.  I'm feeling better today and have gathered back my composure!

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Some people prefer eating gluten before bed, then sleeping through the worst symptoms at night.  You might want to try that and see if that makes any difference.   Several slices of toast for breakfast sounds okay.  Just try to work up to the Ten grams of gluten.  Cookies might only have a half of a gram of gluten.  The weight of the whole cookie is not the same as the amount of gluten in it.  So do try to eat bread things with big bubbles, like cinnamon rolls.   Yeah, I'm familiar with the "death warmed over" feeling.  I hope you get the genetic test results quickly.  I despise how we have to make ourselves sick to get a diagnosis.  Hang in there, sweetie, the tribe is supporting you.

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By Xravith · Posted

      @knitty kitty  Thank you very much for the advice. I did the exam this morning, my doctor actually suggested me to take something called "Celiac duo test" in which I first do the genetic test and if it's positive, then I'll have to do the antigen blood test. I have to attend 1 month until my results are ready, so I have some weeks to increase the amount of gluten I eat daily. It will be hard because my health is not the best right now, but I also did a blood test to cheek my nutritional deficiencies. The results will arrive on Tuesday, so I can ask my doctor what should I do to control my symptoms and blood levels during this month. For now I'm resting and paying attention to what I eat— at least I don’t look like a vampire who just woke up, like I did yesterday. I'm still scared because is the first time I've felt this sick, but this is the right moment to turn things around for the better.  I realized that if I eat gluten at lunch I cannot finish the day properly, I become severely tired and sometimes my stomach hurts a lot - let's not talk about the bloating that starts later. Do you think is it ok to eat gluten just in the morning, like some cookies and slices of bread for breakfast?

      I suffer from Dermatitis Herpetiformis, too.  Like @Rogol72, I had to cut out all gluten-free processed foods, dairy, oats, and eggs before my skin cleared up.  I followed the Autoimmune Protocol Diet. I also supplement with the eight essential B vitamins.  (Meat and liver are great sources of B vitamins.)  Low levels of certain B vitamins ( B12, Thiamine, Pyridoxine, and Niacin) can affect the nerves, resulting in itching and tingling.  Niacin especially helps with the itching and healing the blisters.  Tallow Balm helps with the healing, too.  Zinc and Vitamin A also help with skin health.   I've gotten such good results with Niacin and the other vitamins mentioned that I've never had to go on Dapsone.
