Yoplait Key Lime yogurt

Rice Krispies

Corn chips

Soft tortilla shells

Chicken nuggets

And what are the best store bought cookies?

And what are the best treat (she LOVES chocolate) for me to carry around just in case?

Thank you all so very much for your help. I've ordered the books you recommended and I've printed out all the lists you've given me. I'd be lost without this board.

Hi, I am not sure about the yogurt but the Rice Krispies are not safe. They contain barley malt. Envirokids makes a chocolate flavored type krispy cereal. Frito corn chips are fine but read the ingredients for soft tortillas because most are wheat unless you buy the the corn tortilla. The chicken nugget are out unless you buy those labelled gluten free such as Ian's or Bell and Evans or Wellshire Farms. The best cookies we have found the K-toos (just like Oreos) and Kinnickinicks Montana Choc. chips.

M&Ms are gluten-free EXCEPT for the crispy kind (because of the barley malt in the rice crispies).

Hershey bars are safe EXCEPT for Hershey's Miniatures. The small snack size and larger are OK. No Krunch bars, again because of the rice crispies.

Many Corn Tortillas are safe. I also like the brown rice tortillas from Whole Foods, forget the brand name.

I'm a big fan of the EnviroKids cereals. It does make me wonder why no one makes a really yummy, gluten-free, adult type cereal . I used to love Raisin Bran and the "nuts and flakes" type cereals. I've eaten several brands of corn chips without problems, but only after reading ingredients.

I really like the envirokids crispy rice cereal bars. I'm trying to start a company, and attend a lot of fund raising events. I carry these things with me all the time, to buffer me when I'm at an event for hours. (i'm 31 by the way)

Rice Krispies - Erewhon Crispy Brown Rice or Erewhon Rice Twice (for something sweeter)

Corn chips - most are safe (I eat Whale Tales)

Soft tortilla shells - most corn tortillas are safe (I eat Food For Life Sprouted Corn tortillas)

Chicken nuggets - Ian's, Wellshire, Bells and Evans (check ingredients, as these brands make gluten versions as well)

And what are the best store bought cookies?

Pamelas aren't bad :)

  1. Yoplait Key Lime yogurt
  2. Rice Krispies
  3. Corn chips
  4. Soft tortilla shells
  5. Chicken nuggets
  6. And what are the best store bought cookies?
  7. And what are the best treat (she LOVES chocolate) for me to carry around just in case?

Thank you all so very much for your help. I've ordered the books you recommended and I've printed out all the lists you've given me. I'd be lost without this board.

  1. I see net references saying it's gluten-free but nothing on the product website so I'd call the producer of Yoplait Key Lime yogurt
  2. EnviroKidz has lots of crispy rice products and I can get many at my local grocer Open Original Shared Link (look at the bottom for their gluten-free list)
  3. Plain Fritos Scoops are my favorite, Plain Tostitos are good too
  4. If she doesn't like corn tortillas, I've been told Chebe mix makes good flour tortillas
  5. Chicken Nuggets - I second the previous listing - Ian's, Wellshire, Bells&Evans - they're all good in different ways (I like Ian's fish sticks too)
  6. Mi-Del Ginger Snaps are my favorite store bought because they are crisp. Namaste Spice Cake mix makes great cookies too, just don't add the water the mix calls for (like you can do with regular cake mixes)
  7. M&Ms are good but try Chocolate-Coconut Lara Bars and Lemon Lara Bars. They're really good, handle heat well, and healthier.

"M&Ms are good but try Chocolate-Coconut Lara Bars and Lemon Lara Bars. They're really good, handle heat well, and healthier."

Also, Bumble Bars in original, almond, and chocolate are great, too. And they handle heat well. My 3 1/2 year old son loves them, along with the Lara bars and EnviroKidz bars.

I received an e-mail from Yoplait that they clearly label when a gluten related item is added to a yogurt, and it would only be added to the yogurts that have "chunks" in them, like their breakfast/harvest line. The regular flavored yogurts, Whips, and custard styles were all gluten free; even the Go-gurts were OK. So Key Lime Pie should be OK (or at least it was the last time I checked the ingredients and bought it). We also freeze the Go-gurts in the tubes as "ice cream treats" in the summer, too.

As for pre-made cookies, we like Mi-Del Pecan cookies, Pamela's dark chocolate chunk cookies, and the chocolate dipped wafer cookies from Glutino. Jennie's macaroons (both regular and almond flavored) are delicious, too. In the gluten free frozen section of Whole Foods, all of the cookies there are good, but they're expensive, too. If your daughter can eat peanut butter, flourless peanut butter cookies are quick and easy to make. Mix 1 cup each of creamy peanut butter & sugar with 1 egg and 1 1/2 tsp. of gluten free baking powder (baking powder isn't necessary, but it adds a nice little rise). You can also add gluten free chocolate, butterscotch, or white chocolate chips, too. Bake in a 350

Yeah those!!! Pamela's mixes are fabulous too. And the Whole Foods gluten free bakehouse white sandwich bread is one of the BEST I've ever tasted.

We have Brown Rice Crispies from the Health Food Store EREWHON brand. They are okay fresh, but my experience is they turn stale quickly and they come is such big boxes. I make our own rice crispy treats on occassion when I buy these.

I keep "fruit snacks" in my bag for an emergancy, you have to be careful though, some are safe, some are not and you sort of have to make a decision for yourself what risk you are willing to accept. So I refrain from advising on a brand. I myself need to revaluate this decision based on new symptoms.

I also keep Mi-Del cookies in my bag and corn based crackers I buy in bulk they come in a 3 pack of 8 in each package by Glutano. My dh's emergancy snack is M&Ms. When the baby starts needing snacks I'm going for Perky Os.

I keep in the winter months a lunch box for each child in the van, it includes a small PB individual serving, gluten-free cracker pack, knife, peach fruit cup w/spoon, applesauce cup, fruit snack, gluten-free cookies and 2 juice boxes. It's our snow and ice on the road survive kit, plus when there is not any place appropriate to eat when we are out later than expected shopping or somthing. The summer it is a little harder to keep due to the heat. If I'm going out for a long trip I will grab them, they are always ready on the top shelf.

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By Xravith · Posted

      Yes, you are right. Indeed, I’ve been feeling anemic since the beginning of this week, and today I felt horrible during a lecture at the university, I was trembling a lot and felt all my body incredibly heavy, so I had to come back home. I’ll do a blood test tomorrow, but I’m just worried about the possibility of it coming back negative. I’ve been eating two cookies in the morning as my only source of gluten over the past two weeks—could that affect the final result?

      New (possible) celiac diagnosis

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Judy M! Yes, he definitely needs to continue eating gluten until the day of the endoscopy. Not sure why the GI doc advised otherwise but it was a bum steer.  Celiac disease has a genetic component but also an "epigenetic" component. Let me explain. There are two main genes that have been identified as providing the "potential" to develop "active" celiac disease. We know them as HLA-DQ 2.5 (aka, HLA-DQ 2) and HLA-DQ8. Without one or both of these genes it is highly unlikely that a person will develop celiac disease at some point in their life. About 40% of the general population carry one or both of these two genes but only about 1% of the population develops active celiac disease. Thus, possessing the genetic potential for celiac disease is far less than deterministic. Most who have the potential never develop the disease. In order for the potential to develop celiac disease to turn into active celiac disease, some triggering stress event or events must "turn on" the latent genes. This triggering stress event can be a viral infection, some other medical event, or even prolonged psychological/emotional trauma. This part of the equation is difficult to quantify but this is the epigenetic dimension of the disease. Epigenetics has to do with the influence that environmental factors and things not coded into the DNA itself have to do in "turning on" susceptible genes. And this is why celiac disease can develop at any stage of life. Celiac disease is an autoimmune condition (not a food allergy) that causes inflammation in the lining of the small bowel. The ingestion of gluten causes the body to attack the cells of this lining which, over time, damages and destroys them, impairing the body's ability to absorb nutrients since this is the part of the intestinal track responsible for nutrient absorption and also causing numerous other food sensitivities such as dairy/lactose intolerance. There is another gluten-related disorder known as NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity or just, "gluten sensitivity") that is not autoimmune in nature and which does not damage the small bowel lining. However, NCGS shares many of the same symptoms with celiac disease such as gas, bloating, and diarrhea. It is also much more common than celiac disease. There is no test for NCGS so, because they share common symptoms, celiac disease must first be ruled out through formal testing for celiac disease. This is where your husband is right now. It should also be said that some experts believe NCGS can transition into celiac disease. I hope this helps.

      New (possible) celiac diagnosis

      By Judy M · Posted

      My husband has had lactose intolerance for his entire life (he's 68 yo).  So, he's used to gastro issues. But for the past year he's been experiencing bouts of diarrhea that last for hours.  He finally went to his gastroenterologist ... several blood tests ruled out other maladies, but his celiac results are suspect.  He is scheduled for an endoscopy and colonoscopy in 2 weeks.  He was told to eat "gluten free" until the tests!!!  I, and he know nothing about this "diet" much less how to navigate his in daily life!! The more I read, the more my head is spinning.  So I guess I have 2 questions.  First, I read on this website that prior to testing, eat gluten so as not to compromise the testing!  Is that true? His primary care doctor told him to eat gluten free prior to testing!  I'm so confused.  Second, I read that celiac disease is genetic or caused by other ways such as surgery.  No family history but Gall bladder removal 7 years ago, maybe?  But how in God's name does something like this crop up and now is so awful he can't go a day without worrying.  He still works in Manhattan and considers himself lucky if he gets there without incident!  Advice from those who know would be appreciated!!!!!!!!!!!!

      Patiently Waiting to See Results

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      You've done an excellent job of meticulously tracking the rash's unpredictable behavior, from its symmetrical spread and stubborn scabbing to the potential triggers you've identified, like the asthma medication and dietary changes. It's particularly telling that the rash seems to flare with wheat consumption, even though your initial blood test was negative—as you've noted, being off wheat before a test can sometimes lead to a false negative, and your description of the other symptoms—joint pain, brain fog, stomach issues—is very compelling. The symmetry of the rash is a crucial detail that often points toward an internal cause, such as an autoimmune response or a systemic reaction, rather than just an external irritant like a plant or mites. I hope your doctor tomorrow takes the time to listen carefully to all of this evidence you've gathered and works with you to find some real answers and effective relief. Don't be discouraged if the rash fluctuates; your detailed history is the most valuable tool you have for getting an accurate diagnosis.

      Gluten free beer ?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      In this case the beer is excellent, but for those who are super sensitive it is likely better to go the full gluten-free beer route. Lakefront Brewery (another sponsor!) has good gluten-free beer made without any gluten ingredients.
