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.

      Covid caused reoccurrence of DH without eating gluten

      By Jacki Espo · Posted

      This happened to me as well. What’s weirder is that within a couple hours of taking paxlovid it subsided. I thought maybe I got glutened but after reading your post not so sure.

      New Celiac Mama in My 30s

      Hi Tiffany. Thank you for writing your dituation and  circumstancesin such detail and so well writte, too. I particularly noticed what you wrote about brain for and feeling like your brain is swelling and I know from my own experiences that's how it feel and your brain really does swell and you get migraines.    Way back when I was in my 20s I read a book by 2 MD allergist and they described their patient who came in complaining that her brain, inside her cranium, was swelling  and it happened when she smelled a certain chemical she used in her home. She kept coming back and insisting her brain actually swelled in her head. The Drs couldn't explain this problem so they, with her permission, performed an operation where they made a small opening through her cranium, exposed her to the chemical then watched as she brain did swell into the opening. The DRs were amazed but then were able to advise her to avoid chemicals that made her brain swell. I remember that because I occasionally had brain fog then but it was not a serious problem. I also realized that I was becoming more sensitive to chemicals I used in my work in medical laboratories. By my mid forties the brain fog and chemicals forced me to leave my  profession and move to a rural area with little pollution. I did not have migraines. I was told a little later that I had a more porous blood brain barrier than other people. Chemicals in the air would go up into my sinused and leak through the blood brain barrier into my brain. We have 2 arteries  in our neck that carry blood with the nutrients and oxygen into the brain. To remove the fluids and used blood from the brain there are only capillaries and no large veins to carry it away so all those fluids ooze out much more slowly than they came in and since the small capillaries can't take care of extra fluid it results in swelling in the face, especially around the eyes. My blood flow into my brain is different from most other people as I have an arterial ischema, adefectiveartery on one side.   I have to go forward about 20 or more years when I learned that I had glaucoma, an eye problem that causes blindness and more years until I learned I had celiac disease.  The eye Dr described my glaucoma as a very slow loss of vision that I wouldn't  notice until had noticeable loss of sight.  I could have my eye pressure checked regularly or it would be best to have the cataracts removed from both eyes. I kept putting off the surgery then just overnight lost most of the vision in my left eye. I thought at the I had been exposed to some chemical and found out a little later the person who livedbehind me was using some chemicals to build kayaks in a shed behind my house. I did not realize the signifance  of this until I started having appointments with a Dr. in a new building. New buildings give me brain fog, loss of balance and other problems I know about this time I experienced visual disturbances very similar to those experienced by people with migraines. I looked further online and read that people with glaucoma can suffer rapid loss of sight if they have silent migraines (no headache). The remedy for migraines is to identify and avoid the triggers. I already know most of my triggers - aromatic chemicals, some cleaning materials, gasoline and exhaust and mold toxins. I am very careful about using cleaning agents using mostly borax and baking powder. Anything that has any fragrance or smell I avoid. There is one brand of dishwashing detergent that I can use and several brands of  scouring powder. I hope you find some of this helpful and useful. I have not seen any evidence that Celiac Disease is involved with migraines or glaucoma. Please come back if you have questions or if what I wrote doesn't make senseto you. We sometimes haveto learn by experience and finding out why we have some problems. Take care.       The report did not mention migraines.

      My only proof

      Hi Jmartes71 That is so much like my story! You probably know where Laytonville is and that's where I was living just before my 60th birthday when the new Dr. suggested I could have Celiacs. I didn't go on a gluten challange diet before having the Celiac panel blood test drawn. The results came back as equivical as one antibody level was very high but another, tissue transaminasewas normal. Itdid show I was  allergic to cows milk and I think hot peppers. I immediately went gluten free but did not go in for an endoscopy. I found an online lab online that would do the test to show if I had a main celiac gene (enterolab.com). The report came back that I had inherited a main celiac gene, DQ8, from one parent and a D!6 from the other parent. That combination is knows to sym[tons of celiac worse than just inheriting one main celiac gene. With my version of celiac disease I was mostly constipated but after going gluten-free I would have diarrhea the few times I was glutened either by cross contamination or eating some food containing gluten. I have stayed gluten-free for almost 20 years now and knew within a few days that it was right for me although my recovery has been slow.   When I go to see a  medical provide and tell them I have celiacs they don't believe me. The same when I tell them that I carry a main celiac gene, the DQ8. It is only when I tell them that I get diarrhea after eating gluten that they realize that I might have celiac disease. Then they will order th Vitamin B12 and D3 that I need to monitor as my B12 levels can go down very fast if I'm not taking enough of it. Medical providers haven't been much help in my recovery. They are not well trained in this problem. I really hope this helps ypu. Take care.
