Help! My name is Shaina and I am new to this board :)

My husband is in the Navy. He was recently diagnosed with Celiac. I need to know of any good ideas of foods to send him while he is underway (out to sea). This underway is about a month. I've baked him some goodies like gluten-free brownies and gluten-free cookies that I plan on sending to him. But I wanted to know if you guys knew of any gluten-free foods I can ship to him that are also Ready To Eat or Heat-N-Eat??

Sometimes, he doesn't really get much to eat because not many of his choices are gluten-free free except for fruit. But he can't survive off of fruit and he doesn't want to get too bothersome because he doesn't want to be medically discharged...

So, it's up to me now lol to make sure my baby doesn't go hungry and is getting good nutrition...

Thanks so much!!!!

There are a lot of different fruit and granola bars, just look in a health food store. Ener-G also has a lot of options that do not expire fast.

Good luck.

Hello..........I was just introduced to these granola/fruit bars called Lara bars. I live in Illinois and found them at my Jewel store and they are good. The other thing you might want to check into making yourself is homemade snack mix. I make mine with Chex cereal (the new gluten free one) and add chocolate chips, banana chips, crainsins, dried apples (from the bag) and almonds;(M&M's if he likes sweets) You could make it and put it in zip lock baggies or vacuum seal smaller bags, that way he could open them as he wants them. Starkist tuna in a pouch is a good protien snack. Get some packages of gluten-free crackers and Jif peanut butter in the individual servings. If I think of anything else I'll post.

Good Luck

      Guinness, can you drink it?

      This is a very common question, and the most important thing to know is that no, Guinness is not considered safe for individuals with coeliac disease. While it's fascinating to hear anecdotes from other coeliacs who can drink it without immediate issues, this is a risky exception rather than the rule.

      Gluten Issues and Vitamin D

      Interestingly, this thought occurred to me last night. I did find that there are studies investigating whether vitamin D deficiency can actually trigger celiac disease. Source: National Institutes of Health https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7231074/

      Guinness, can you drink it?

      Before being diagnosed coeliac I used to love Guinness. Being made from barley it should be something a coeliac shouldn’t drink. But taking to another coeliac and they can drink it with no ill effects and have heard of others who can drink it too. is this everyone’s experience? Can I drink it? I get dermatitis herpetiformis and don’t get instant react...

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      NCGS does not cause damage to the small bowel villi so, if indeed you were not skimping on gluten when you had the antibody blood testing done, it is likely you have celiac disease.

      Guinness, can you drink it?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      This is a very common question, and the most important thing to know is that no, Guinness is not considered safe for individuals with coeliac disease. While it's fascinating to hear anecdotes from other coeliacs who can drink it without immediate issues, this is a risky exception rather than the rule. The core issue is that Guinness is brewed from barley, which contains gluten, and the standard brewing process does not remove the gluten protein to a level safe for coeliacs (below 20ppm). For someone like you who experiences dermatitis herpetiformis, the reaction is particularly significant. DH is triggered by gluten ingestion, even without immediate gastrointestinal symptoms. So, while you may not feel an instant stomach upset, drinking a gluten-containing beer like Guinness could very well provoke a flare-up of your skin condition days later. It would be a gamble with a potentially uncomfortable and long-lasting consequence. Fortunately, there are excellent, certified gluten-free stouts available now that can provide a safe and satisfying alternative without the risk.

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I will assume you did the gluten challenge properly and were eating a lot of gluten daily for 6-8 weeks before your test, but if not, that could be the issue. You can still have celiac disease with negative blood test results, although it's not as common:  Clinical and genetic profile of patients with seronegative coeliac disease: the natural history and response to gluten-free diet: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5606118/  Seronegative Celiac Disease - A Challenging Case: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9441776/  Enteropathies with villous atrophy but negative coeliac serology in adults: current issues: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34764141/  Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS.
