Snacks? Dairy, Soy, Gluten And Corn Free

I have been Gluten Free for about 10 months and I am looking at going Dairy, Soy and Corn free along with Gluten Free. I was just wondering about snacks other than the plain fruits and veggies that people in my situation snack on. I probably wouldn't even need a snack everyday but once in awhile you just want something. What are you choices if you have taken all four of these out of your diet. Thanks in advance!

I'm thinking along the lines of raw vegan food. I don't know if that appeals to you at all, but they have all sorts of snack bars, crackers, chips etc. that are generally free of the ingredients you mentioned.

Rice crackers might be an option as well. Maybe you could also make crackers out of Chebe bread mix (tapioca).

Yeah, I usually carry some dried fruit and nuts in my bag if I leave the house.

Mango mentioning rice crackers reminded me, I sometimes also have a couple rice cakes with nut butter and honey for a sweet snack. :) And I love white cabbage. But mostly I must say I just eat meals...

As someone just re-entering dairy into my diet, I'm realizing how much easier it is to snack (CHEESE! and yogurt). I'm still soy free.

I also walk a lot (no car, city life, work is a 5-mile walk from home, etc) so I'm realizing how muchmore I need to eat now, including snacks. You can make hummus (or buy, I think) but I hate chick peas. I've made a dip out of cooked lentils and you can probably do it with any bean. Just add your favorite flavors, blend, throw in a container and buy some crackers. The Edward and Sons rice crackers aren't bad. You could also use veggies of course. Or rice cakes.

I eat peanut butter with a lot of things, as others have suggested (fruit, veggies). They do make cheese from Rice Dream that's made (doh!) with rice. It's gluten, dairy, and soy free. It melts, I can say that much for it. It tastes like velveeta, so if that's your thing, you can always snack on that with some crackers.

I'm investigating snack options now and will update you if I find anything good, though dairy's back on my menu, as I mentioned.

Good luck!

Be careful with rice cheeses. Some will say "lactose free" but contain casein.

I like --

hummus or baba ghanouj with acceptable crackers, toast or raw veggies

nut butter on the same

snack bars with no unacceptable ingredients

and of course, there are nuts, dried & fresh fruit, and DARK CHOCOLATE

(I'm not corn free -- so I can also have corn thins [better than rice cakes] and popcorn)

Sometimes I just raid the fridge & have some leftover or other. If I'm really hungry, I will nuke a potato & put some salsa or bean dip on top.

Lara Bars is a brand of nut/fruit bar.

Potato chips are an option, although maybe not the healthiest, very good dipped into hummus.

Raw veggies like baby carrots, bell pepper strips are also very good dipped in hummus.

Also, you can take Food For Life Rice tortillas (there is xanthum gum in them though which is a problem for some people with corn allergies) and cut them in wedges throw in the oven and bake them until they get crisp and brown (homemade rice chips :) and dip them into Amy's Fire Roasted Vegetable Salsa.

Any kind of fresh fruit. There's so many choices during the summer. We grow our own blueberries, strawberries, raspberries and grapes. A handful of those are great snacks.

I also like peanuts in the shell or roasted, light salt cashews.

LARA bars are my favorite 'safe' snack bar, because they're free of most allergens. Unfortunately most flavors contain almonds. So my husband with an almond allergy can only eat the cashew variety.

Apple chips are good. You can also make carrot, eggplant or zucchini chips on a cookie sheet at home. Puffed rice squares, coconut macaroons and nut bars are good sweet snacks that are fast to make.

      Since I've been a member of this forum,  I've seen some people write that they have not been able to tolerate corn, and others nightshades - tomatoes, potatoes, eggplant, and peppers (including bell peppers, chili peppers, and paprika).    However, intolerances can be short term, just while you are healing.    So bear this in mind if you start dropping certain foods from your diet - you may well be able to eat them again once you are healed.

      Welcome to the forum, @Izelle! Normally, the diagnosis of celiac disease involves two stages.  The first stage involves a simple blood test that looks for antibodies that are pretty specific to celiac disease. Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder that attacks the lining of the small bowel which produces antibodies that can be detected in the blood with tests specifically designed for this purpose. There are a number of these tests that can be run. Some are more specific for celiac disease and thus more reliable than others. The two most common antibody tests ordered by physicians when diagnosing celiac disease are the "total IGA" and the "tTG-IGA" test. At least these two should always be ordered. Here is a an article outlining the subject matter of celiac antibody tests:  If the tTG-IGA levels are 10x normal then it is becoming common practice in some countries to grant a celiac diagnosis on the bloodwork alone. The second stage involves an endoscopy with biopsy of the small bowel lining to look for the damage to the small bowel lining typically caused by celiac disease's inflammatory process over time. This is usually done in response to one or more positives from the blood antibody testing and constitutes confirmation of the antibody testing to eliminate the possibility of false positives.

      Hi there, Please can you tell me exactly how this disease is diagnosed? I am also from South Africa Regards Izelle

      Thank you for saying that. That doctor diagnosed me with IBS with no follow-up so the relationship is already concluded. If I pursue diagnosis further I'll request someone else.

      Hey everyone. Thanks again for your suggestions. I wanted to give an update and ask for some follow-up suggestions from you all.  So I did go through all of my food items and stopped eating things that were “gluten free” and switched over to the “certified gluten free” ones (the ones with the g symbol). I also stayed away from restaurants except once and there I ordered something raw vegan and gluten free hoping for the best. I also stayed away from oats and soy and dairy. I've also been increasing my vitamin B complex. I've been doing this for about 12 days and while I know that's not that long, I'm still getting sick. Sometimes having diarrhea. Sometimes getting headaches and having necklaces. Sometimes waking up feeling horrible brain fog. I did go to my GI doc and they did a blood test and found my TtG-IgA was in the negative range (and a lower number than I'd had before). I also had normal levels of CRP. My stool showed no elevation of calprotectin and no pathogens. My GI doc said the symptoms could be related to a gluten exposure or to IBS. I'm keeping a food diary to see if I can narrow down whats going on. I know I have good days and bad days and Im trying to isolate what makes a good day versus a bad day. Generally so far it looks like if it eat something super cautious like raw vegetables that I chopped myself into a salad and almonds, im fine but if I eat something more complex including, say, chicken and rice (even if packaged and certified gluten free or made by me with gluten free ingredients), it may not go so well. I may end up with either a headache, neck tension, brain fog, and/or diarrhea that day or the morning after. Any other thoughts or suggestions? I am planning to start tracking my foods again but I wanted to do it in more detail this time (maybe down to the ingredient level) so are there any common ingredients that celiacs have issues with that you all know of that I should track? I've got dairy, oats, soy, eggs, corn, peas, lentils on my “watch list”. Other things I should add? I'm hoping if I track for another two weeks I can maybe pin down some sensitivities. Appreciate the help and tips. Thank you so much!!
