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

      Was the card itself lost or just the record or both?

      The Happy Tart review

      We were flabergasted that the owner would not acknowledge a $50 e-gift card I purchased for my celiac wife. My wife tried to open it in the store and was informed there had been a system change and they could not find the record. No worries, she was told, just talk to management. Six months later, and numerous absurd back and forths, and the owner literally...

      Ibuprofen

      Yes, some people do get withdrawal from gluten but gluten withdrawal doesn't usually cause gut pain. Maybe more like general body aches and discomfort. We have articles on gluten withdrawal on this forum. You might do a search for them. Applesauce is very acidic and some brands have added vitamin C (ascorbic acid) which makes them more acidic. This can...

      Do you or anyone know alot about ibuprofen I wasn't sure if I was eating too much apple sauce. Something is making my pain so much worse I'm referring to the intense pins and needles in my feet and lower legs. Jaw actually has tardive dystonia and muscle spasms throughout my back Almost like an opposite effect that a pain reliever...

Six months later, and numerous absurd back and forths, and the owner literally informs me there have been "bad actors", so she can't make good on this lost gift card. In other words, she accused me of lying and committing fraud... over $50! Please be careful with your orders and purchases here.

      Yes, some people do get withdrawal from gluten but gluten withdrawal doesn't usually cause gut pain. Maybe more like general body aches and discomfort. We have articles on gluten withdrawal on this forum. You might do a search for them. Applesauce is very acidic and some brands have added vitamin C (ascorbic acid) which makes them more acidic. This can damage the stomach lining if you eat it too often. Especially if your stomach lining is already compromised. Ibuprofen inhibits the body's ability to rebuild the stomach's protective mucosal lining. That's why it can cause peptic ulcers. As strange as it may sound, low level irritation/inflammation stimulates the body to rebuild the stomach lining. There are two steps in this rebuilding process known as COX 1 and COX 2. Ibuprofen represses both COX 1 and COX 2. Celecoxcib, a prescription anti inflammatory, inhibits only COX 2, making it less likely to cause damage to the gut lining.

      Do you or anyone know alot about ibuprofen  I wasn't sure if I was eating too much apple sauce.   Something is making my pain so much worse  I'm referring to the intense pins and needles in my feet and lower legs.  Jaw actually has tardive dystonia and muscle spasms throughout my back Almost like an opposite effect that a pain reliever would do. I'm fairly new to this. Whatever is going on seems to be worsening  Do people get a withdrawal effect from gluten?  It's extremely painful 😖  I'll post that question or research on the site  Thank you everyone for responding
