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

What is safe fast food?

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 :)

      The discovery of the vitamin D receptor in multiple immune cell lineages, such as monocytes, dendritic cells, and activated T cells credits vitamin D with a novel role in modulating immunological functions and its subsequent role in the development or prevention of autoimmune diseases.  The Implication of Vitamin D and Autoimmunity: a Comprehensive Review

      Definitely get vitamin D 25(OH)D.  Celiac Disease causes vitamin D deficiency and one of the functions of vitamin D is modulating the genes.  While we can survive with low vitamin D as an adaptation to living in a seasonal environment, the homeostasis is 200 nmol/L.  Vitamin D Receptors are found in nearly every cell with a nucleus,while the highest concentrations are in tissues like the intestine, kidney, parathyroid, and bone.  A cellular communication system, if you will. The vitamin D receptor: contemporary genomic approaches reveal new basic and translational insights  Possible Root Causes of Histamine Intolerance. "Low levels of certain nutrients like copper, Vitamins A, B6, and C can lead to histamine build up along with excess or deficient levels of iron. Iodine also plays a crucial role in histamine regulation."

      I forgot to mention my suspicion of the high amount of glyphosate allowed to be used on wheat in USA and NZ and Australia. My weight was 69kg mid-2023, I went down to 60kg in March 2024 and now hover around 63kg (just after winter here in NZ) - wheat-free and very low alcohol consumption.

      Hi Jess Thanks so much for your response and apologies for the long delay in answering. I think I must have been waiting for something to happen before I replied and unfortunately it fell off the radar... I have had an upper endoscopy and colonoscopy in the meantime (which revealed 'minor' issues only). Yes I do think histamine intolerance is one of the problems. I have been lowering my histamine intake and feeling a lot better. And I do think it is the liver which is giving the pain. I am currently taking zinc (I have had three low zinc tests now), magnesium, B complex, vitamin E and a calcium/Vitamin C mix. I consciously think about getting vitamin D outside. (Maybe I should have my vitamin D re-tested now...) I am still 100% gluten-free. My current thoughts on the cause of the problems is some, if not all, of the following: Genetically low zinc uptake, lack of vitamin D, wine drinking (alcohol/sulphites), covid, immune depletion, gastroparesis, dysbiosis, leaky gut, inability to process certain foods I am so much better than late 2023 so feel very positive 🙂

      4.5 years into diagnosis, eating gluten-free and still struggling: would love support, tips, & stories

      Hi and thank you very much for your detailed response! I am so glad that the protocol worked so well for you and helped you to get your health back on track. I've heard of it helping other people too. One question I have is how did you maintain your weight on this diet? I really rely on nuts and rice to keep me at a steady weight because I tend to lose weight quickly and am having a hard time envisioning how to make it work, especially when not being able to eat things like nuts and avocados. In case you have any input, woud be great to hear it! Friendly greetings.
