New gluten-free Ideas

We are planning a trip to visit my sister in Louisiana next month. Since we are driving, we'll be on the road for 2 days. Can anyone give me new ideas of safe meat to carry along for him. He doesn't complain, but if I were he, I'd be tired of salmon and tuna. Once we get there, I can fix anything, it's just keeping it fresh on the road that I need more ideas for.

Ener-G sells 2 slice packs of bread. Expensive, but they keep for a long time. You could get some of those and a small jar of nut butter or portion packs and also some jelly. You can get some gluten free portion packs here:

For my daughter I buy almond butter, jelly, Trix, chips, and salami. I send them often in her lunch to school.

She also likes Shelton's turkey sticks, cans of Vienna sausage, corn chips with canned refried beans and/or Nacho Chreese dip (a dairy free dip). You can get shelf stable (until opened) jars of hummus that can be eaten with raw veggies, gluten-free pretzels or breadsticks or rice crackers. There are assorted fruit products like dried fruits, Rollups, apple chips, etc. You can buy small packages of lunch meat and cheese and keep them in a cooler at least for the first day of the trip.

Dora Star cereal.

Kinninnick K-toos and their brand of animal crackers.

Fresh veggies and Fruit

Already cooked chicken nuggets Bell and Evan's if you have them near you, then just reheat. Could you make pasta dishes or soups and just reheat them too or are you looking at eating in the car?

Hot Dogs

Boars Head brand deli meats is gluten free so that could help with the sandwich variety.

Thanks alot for the tips. He currently eats alot of PJ on rice cakes which he enjoys but would probably enjoy Shelton's turkey sticks, cans of Vienna sausage, corn chips with canned refried beans and/or Nacho Chreese dip. ;)

Get yourself a travel fridge - it saved us on our long drive:

this is a relatively small one, or

A slightly larger one.

We were able to bring cheese, meat, yogurt, drinks, cut up fruits & veggies, dip, etc. Heck, since we travelled for Thanksgiving, I was even able to bring a pre-made gluten-free pie crust. It really made things a lot easier for us, and we were able to bring a wide range of food for all of us.

      High DGP-A with normal IGA

      I was tested for celiac at the same time, so I wasn't taking naltrexone yet. I say that, because I don't. The endoscopy showed some mild inflammation but was inconclusive as to celiac disease. They took several biopsies and that's all that was shown. I was not given a Marsh score.

      High DGP-A with normal IGA

      I was tested for food allergies and environmental allergies about 7 months before I started taking Naltrexone, so I don't think that is the cause for me, but that's interesting! The main thing with the celiac thing that is throwing me off is these symptoms are lifelong, but I don't have intestinal damage to correlate with lifelong undiagnosed celiac...

      Finding gluten free ingredients

      Welcome to the forum, @Kara S! Warrior bread is a grain free bread product. Google it. There are commercial mixes available, I believe, Youtube videos and many recipes.

      @Colleen H, I have had similar reactions and symptoms like yours. I started following the low histamine Autoimmune Protocol diet developed by a doctor with Celiac Disease herself, Dr. Sarah Ballantyne. Her book, The Paleo Approach, is very helpful in understanding what's going on in the body. Not only do you have antibodies attacking the body...

      Food and environmental allergies involve IgE antibodies.  IgE antibodies provoke histamine release from mast cells.   Celiac disease is not always visible to the naked eye during endoscopy.  Much of the damage is microscopic and patchy or out of reach of the scope.  Did they take any biopsies of your small intestine for a pathologist to examine?  Were you given a Marsh score? Why do you say you "don't have intestinal damage to correlate with lifelong undiagnosed celiac disease"?   Just curious.

      @Colleen H, I have had similar reactions and symptoms like yours.  I started following the low histamine Autoimmune Protocol diet developed by a doctor with Celiac Disease herself, Dr. Sarah Ballantyne.  Her book, The Paleo Approach, is very helpful in understanding what's going on in the body.   Not only do you have antibodies attacking the body, there are mast cells spreading histamine which causes inflammation.  Foods also contain histamine or act as histamine releasers.  Our bodies have difficulty clearing histamine if there's too much.  Following the low histamine AIP diet allows your body time to clear the excess histamine we're making as part of the autoimmune response, without adding in extra histamine from foods.  High histamine foods include eggs, processed foods and some citrus fruits.  The AIP diet allows meat and vegetables.  No processed meats like sausage, luncheon meats, ham, chicken nuggets, etc. No night shades (potatoes, tomatoes, peppers, eggplant).  No dairy.  No grains.  No rice.  No eggs.  No gluten-free processed foods like gluten free breads and cookies.  No nuts.  No expensive processed gluten-free foods.  Meat and vegetables.  Some fruit. Some fruit, like applesauce, contains high levels of fructose which can cause digestive upsets.  Fructose gets fermented by yeasts in the gastrointestinal tract.  This fermentation can cause gas, bloating and abdominal pain.   The AIP diet changes your microbiome.  Change what you eat and that changes which bacteria live in your gut.  By cutting out carbohydrates from grains and starchy veggies like potatoes, SIBO bacteria get starved out.  Fermenting yeasts get starved out, too.  Healthy bacteria repopulate the gut.   Thiamine Vitamin B 1 helps regulate gut bacteria.  Low thiamine can lead to SIBO and yeast infestation.  Mast cells release histamine more easily when they are low in Thiamine.  Anxiety, depression, and irritability are early symptoms of thiamine insufficiency.  A form of thiamine called Benfotiamine has been shown to promote intestinal healing.   Thiamine works with the seven other B vitamins.  They all need each other to function properly.   Other vitamins and minerals are needed, too.  Vitamin D helps calm and regulate the immune system. Thiamine is needed to turn Vitamin D into an active form.  Thiamine needs magnesium to make life sustaining enzymes.  Taking a B Complex and additional Benfotiamine is beneficial.  The B vitamins are water soluble, easily lost if we're not absorbing nutrients properly as with Celiac Disease.  Since blood tests for B vitamins are notoriously inaccurate, taking a B Complex, Benfotiamine, and magnesium Threonate, and looking for health improvements is a better way to see if you're insufficient.   I do hope you will give the low histamine AIP diet a try.  It really works.
