Question For Laptop Lunch Users

Question for the Laptop Lunch users:

Consider if you will the lunch I packed for my son this morning: PB sandwich, cantaloupe chunks and chocolate chip cookies. How do the laptop lunches do as far as taste/smell go when you are packing a variety of different things? If I had used a laptop lunch, would his sandwich taste like a PB & cantaloupe sandwich? Or would any of the liquid from the cantaloupe leak into the cookies and make them squishy?

I am trying to get over the mental hurdle of putting things in the different sections without wrapping them in plastic wrap or baggies. I want to use less wrap/baggies, and I am wondering Laptop Lunch users' experiences have been with things that have a distinct smell or are a little liquidy.

Thanks for any responses. I haven't bought a Laptop Lunch yet, but I am seriously considering it.

My daughter has not reported any leakage (liquid or smell) between containers. If it's something really wet I'll put it in the container with the lid. Other than that, things don't seep from container to container.

We've loved ours. I love packing DDs lunch and she likes to see what I've come up with each day.

Why don't you put those sorts of foods in your laptop and carry it around and do as your son would w/ it. Open it up and see. bang it around put it in a backpack adn throw on ground and what not.

Test it.

I haven't had any problems with mine and I put tuna, salmon, salads, soup, yogurt, et cetera in it and haven't ever noticed any residual odor. On the days when I do have something with a lot of dressing or liquid, I'll put the actual lunch box inside a freezer sized ziploc bag because liquids can get out and into the insulated lunch bag. I find it's easier to wash a plastic bag that the whole insulated bag. Usually when I have a salad, I'll take out two or more of the inner containers and I think that's why the juice or dressing can escape. If I have all the containers inside it, even if they have liquids in them, I haven't had a problem with leakage.

      @Mari, did you read that second article that Scott linked? It is the most recently date one.

      As far as I know and I have made severalonline searches, celiac disease disease has not been recognized as a cause of migraines or any eye problems. What I wrote must have been confusing.

      Interesting, when I suffered for a few months with ectopics I noticed that carbohydrates would cause indigestion and bloating in my stomach, then that would lead to my heart skipping beats, and I could feel it in my throat, it was very unsettling.

      Aldi Pueblo Lindo Yellow Corn Tortillas

      By tiffanygosci · Posted

      Another annoying thing about trying to figure this Celiac life out is reading all of the labels and considering every choice. I shop at Aldi every week and have been for years. I was just officially diagnosed Celiac a couple weeks ago this October after my endoscopy. I've been encouraged by my local Aldi in that they have a lot of gluten free products and clearly labeled foods. I usually buy Milagro corn tortillas because they are cheap and are certified. However, I bought a package of Aldi's Pueblo Lindo Yellow Corn Tortillas without looking too closely (I was assuming they were fine... assuming never gets us anywhere good lol) it doesn't list any wheat products and doesn't say it was processed in a facility with wheat. It has a label that it's lactose free (hello, what?? When has dairy ever been in a tortilla?) Just, ugh. If they can add that label then why can't they just say something is gluten free or not? I did eat some of the tortillas and didn't notice any symptoms but I'm just not sure if it's safe. So I'll probably have to let my family eat them and stick with Milagro. There is way too much uncertainty with this but I guess you just have to stick with the clearly labeled products? I am still learning!

And everyone has different symptoms. For me, I get a bad headache right away after eating gluten. Reoccurring migraines and visual disturbances were actually what got my PCP to order a Celiac Panel. I'm glad he did! I feel like when the inflammation hits my body it targets my head, gut, and lower back. I'm still figuring things out but that's what I've noticed after eating gluten! I have been eating gluten-free for almost two months now and haven't had such severe symptoms. I ate a couple accidents along the way but I'm doing a lot better

"Researchers comparing rates of headaches, including migraines, among celiac patients and a healthy control group showed that celiac subjects experienced higher rates of headaches than control subjects, with the greatest rates of migraines found in celiac women.  Additionally, celiacs had higher rates of migraine than control subjects, especially in women. In fact, four out of five women with celiac disease suffered from migraines, and without aura nearly three-quarters of the time."

There was some British doctor who'd made some videos on the Vagus nerve that I remember watching at the time which made sense of what I was experiencing, there did seem to be some sort of connection.
