I Have A New School Lunch Idea!

I'm sure this has been suggested a million times ..but for newbies like me... I'm excited anytime I hear of something other than a ham roll up to pack my DD for lunch!

Well, yesterday I bought some Llyods Barbeque (for the 1st time) for my DH...and as I was heating it up...I happened to turn the package over and it said GLUTEN FREE! I was SO happy...and this kind is soooo juicy with sauce I thought she might like it. So when she got home from school (she's 10)...I heated it up, spread it on a corn tortilla and sprinkled cheese on it and she loved it so much she took it today to school. Her teacher will heat up her food but I just did it in the microwave and put it in a small thermos....packed 2 tortilla shells, a baggie of shredded cheese....a snack pack of Mt. Olive garlic pickles and some yogos and she was set. She didn't even eat the yogo's b/c she was so full.

Walmart has the barbeque on sale right now so I'm sending DH back to get some more tubs so I can freeze them

I hope I've given at least one person out there a new idea....I'm just thrilled about it. :D

Thanks for the heads up. I'll check it out. My son's appetite has doubled this year so I'm trying to up his portions and find more meats for him. He loves BBQ. I sometimes slice hot dogs and saute in a pan and add just a touch of BBQ sauce at the end. If you want to see what we do for ideas, click on the link on my profile. All Ds's lunches are served room temp.(with an ice pack included for food safety).

Sounds like he'd like beanie wienies...good hot or cold. Or BBQ shredded chicken?

Thanks, Mary! My son loves BBQ. I assumed any pre-made stuff wouldn't be gluten-free. I've made it twice with left over pork tenderloin, but we don't usually have leftovers and my "quickie" version isn't as good as "real" BBQ. Thanks!

I think the Llyods has soybean oil in it, or something else my daughter is allergic to. I used to buy the Kroger brand which looks just like Llyods but she wasn't allergic. Fred Meyer quit carrying it and QFC never did. :angry: More recently I found some other brand of BBQ shredded chicken that she loves, but husband thinks it tastes nasty. I have also found a BBQ potroast (can't remember the brand but it's in a rectangular container) that they both like. And at Costco they have Carnitas and shredded beef that are both gluten free. They both love that stuff but eat far too much of it.

This week I am trying a new crockpot recipe that I hope will be good so she can take some leftovers to school the next day in a thermos. It is hotdogs cut in thirds, wrapped with bacon cut in thirds and secured with a toothpick. These are put in the crock and layered with brown sugar and cooked on low for 6 hours. I have uncured beef hotdogs, uncured bacon and organic brown sugar. I plan to do another crockpot with potatoes, onions and olive oil.

I made something like that for dinner tonight. I put chicken breasts in the crockpot with BBQ sauce. I shredded it and put it on corn tortillas with shredded cheddar. In the crockpot you can make a ton and freeze it.

I was going to suggest the crockpot for the pulled pork too. I put a pork tenderloin in with 1.5 cups of vinegar and cook on low all day. Then I toss with some Sweet Baby Ray's BBQ sauce and freeze in small portions. Great for quick meals.

I also make Little Smokies with BBQ sauce for DS..he loves to take those to school in his thermos.

Hi, I was reading your post and noticed you use uncured hotdogs and bacon. Are regular ones not gluten-free? I'm still learning! Thanks!

Not all but many regular ones are gluten-free, some of us just prefer the uncured.

Most of the hot dogs and bacon are fine. A lot of time Vince will only eat a hot dog and mac & cheese. I am able to buy the cheep ones from Aldis when money is tight and it be safe

You have to read every label. Some are gluten-free, some are not. We also have additional allergies. Husband and daughter just prefer the uncured ones.

      In the study linked above, the little girl switched to a gluten free diet and gained enough weight that that fat pad was replenished and surgery was not needed.   Here's the full article link...

      Fruits & Veggies

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Hello, @Jordan Carlson, So glad you're feeling better.   Tecta is a proton pump inhibitor.  PPI's also interfere with the production of the intrinsic factor needed to absorb Vitamin B12.  Increasing the amount of B12 you supplement has helped overcome the lack of intrinsic factor needed to absorb B12. Proton pump inhibitors also reduce the production of digestive juices (stomach acids).  This results in foods not being digested thoroughly.  If foods are not digested sufficiently, the vitamins and other nutrients aren't released from the food, and the body cannot absorb them.  This sets up a vicious cycle. Acid reflux and Gerd are actually symptoms of producing too little stomach acid.  Insufficient stomach acid production is seen with Thiamine and Niacin deficiencies.  PPI's like Tecta also block the transporters that pull Thiamine into cells, preventing absorption of thiamine.  Other symptoms of Thiamine deficiency are difficulty swallowing, gagging, problems with food texture, dysphagia. Other symptoms of Thiamine deficiency are symptoms of ADHD and anxiety.  Vyvanse also blocks thiamine transporters contributing further to Thiamine deficiency.  Pristiq has been shown to work better if thiamine is supplemented at the same time because thiamine is needed to make serotonin.  Doctors don't recognize anxiety and depression and adult onset ADHD as early symptoms of Thiamine deficiency. Stomach acid is needed to digest Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) in fruits and vegetables.  Ascorbic acid left undigested can cause intestinal upsets, anxiety, and heart palpitations.   Yes, a child can be born with nutritional deficiencies if the parents were deficient.  Parents who are thiamine deficient have offspring with fewer thiamine transporters on cell surfaces, making thiamine deficiency easier to develop in the children.  A person can struggle along for years with subclinical vitamin deficiencies.  Been here, done this.  Please consider supplementing with Thiamine in the form TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) which helps immensely with dysphagia and neurological symptoms like anxiety, depression, and ADHD symptoms.  Benfotiamine helps with improving intestinal health.  A B Complex and NeuroMag (a magnesium supplement), and Vitamin D are needed also.

      @pothosqueen, Welcome to the tribe! You'll want to get checked for nutritional deficiencies and start on supplementation of B vitamins, especially Thiamine Vitamin B 1.   There's some scientific evidence that the fat pad that buffers the aorta which disappears in SMA is caused by deficiency in Thiamine.   In Thiamine deficiency, the body burns its stored fat as a source of fuel.  That fat pad between the aorta and digestive system gets used as fuel, too. Ask for an Erythrocyte Transketolace Activity test to look for thiamine deficiency.  Correction of thiamine deficiency can help restore that fat pad.   Best wishes for your recovery!   Interesting Reading: Superior Mesenteric Artery Syndrome in a 6-Year-Old Girl with Final Diagnosis of Celiac Disease https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31089433/#:~:text=Affiliations,tissue and results in SMAS.

      Wow! You're pretty young to have a diagnosis of SMA syndrome. But youth also has its advantages when it comes to healing, without a doubt. You might be surprised to find out how your health improves and how much better you feel once you eliminate gluten from your diet. Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder that, when gluten is consumed, triggers an attack on the villous lining of the small bowel. This is the section of the intestines where all our nutrition is absorbed. It is made up of billions of tiny finger-like projections that create a tremendous surface area for absorbing nutrients. For the person with celiac disease, unchecked gluten consumption generates inflammation that wears down these fingers and, over time, greatly reduces the nutrient absorbing efficiency of the small bowel lining. This can generate a whole host of other nutrient deficiency related medical problems. We also now know that the autoimmune reaction to gluten is not necessarily limited to the lining of the small bowel such that celiac disease can damage other body systems and organs such as the liver and the joints and cause neurological problems.  It can take around two years for the villous lining to completely heal but most people start feeling better well before then. It's also important to realize that celiac disease can cause intolerance to some other foods whose protein structures are similar to gluten. Chief among them are dairy and oats but also eggs, corn and soy. Just keep that in mind.
