Is There Anything Pre-packaged I Can Eat?


raisin

Recommended Posts

raisin Enthusiast

At this point, I cannot have :

  • chocolate or coffee
  • legumes (soy, nuts, beans)
  • dairy
  • gluten, potatoes, rice (unsure of corn)
  • bananas, pineapples, kiwis, blueberries, strawberries

Is there any place I can either find recipes that for this insane criteria, or anything pre-made i can buy (at all)? Or even fresh/plain food recommendations?

shopping was irritating when all I had to avoid was gluten, it's hard to believe someone can even react to that many foods.

Ironically, I can also touch latex with no reaction - only the fruits set me off. Is that even normal?

I have a lot of those sensitivities too but not quite as many

Open Original Shared Link is a great place for recipes, she has multiple food intolerances as well and provides substitution ideas for most of the recipes. And every single one I have tried has been amazing.

Chebe bread is wonderful, just tapioca, I just use water, oil and eggs when I make it and it is so good, also makes great crackers

You should be on a rotation diet, if you aren't already, to prevent any additional intolerances

raisin Enthusiast

I don't really know what a rotation diet is, but I know it's the opposite of eating the same thing at the same time every day for a long period (which I had been doing). It sounds exceedingly hard, considering.. The local grocery stores are the opposite of accommodating, none of them ever accepted a single stock request I've made.

But the food on that blog really does look good - I will have to sift through it and see which ones I can make. The chebe bread sounds especially nice! -The downer being, I can't find it's recipe on her site.

Janessa Rookie

chebe is a brand, go to chebe dot com

I can't find it in any stores near me so I order it by the case

Ask your doctor about doing a rotation diet, mine gave me good info, you can google it too but some of the info out there is confusing

It has really helped me get all me intolerances under control and if you have mild reactions to certain things it can make it more easily tolerated.

Hard at first but you get used to it

Also terra chips has a lot of different root chips like sweet potato and casava, ect..

they are good when you want something salty and crunchy

mommida Enthusiast

You can look for Enjoy life products. They usually are free of the top 8 allegergens, so a good place for you to start.

raisin Enthusiast

Terra doesn't claim to be gluten-free (much less dedicated) and doesn't appear to make casava chips, and makes regular potato chips, and does all kinds of flavorings, so it's all kinds of CC in theory - not really an option.

Enjoy life doesn't make a single rice-free product (I've checked).

But the Chebe mixes look like a great option. ;)

Oops, sorry. My bad. :blink: I read too fast and missed rice on your list to avoid.

I'll keep looking out for stuff.

My daughter is on all top 8 allergen free + gluten free (we don't risk oats) and no peas either. (To manage the recent diagnoses of Eosinophilic Esophagitis age 6 on top of the Celiac diagnoses at 17 months)

It's hard to eliminate so much, but it is possible.

I have seen carob chips as a replacement for chocolate. I don't know of any specific brands to reccomend, yet.

mommida Enthusiast

At least two of the chebe mixes contain dairy.

raisin Enthusiast

I'm not a fan of chocolate, so that's fine. In fact, I'm probably not allergic, just won't eat it to be on the safe side. :P

I will also be careful with those mixes, thanks for the heads up!

I also avoid all 8 allergens. :P But have some hope for fish/shellfish in the future, and eggs are only a minor allergen for me.

brigala Explorer

Most (but not all) carob chips I've been able to find are "grain sweetened" and include barley.

I was allergic to chocolate as a child, and although I can eat chocolate now I still think of carob as a comfort food. I'm always on the lookout for gluten-free carob. :)

I can't eat the Enjoy Life products, either. They contain dates, which I'm allergic to. They were my first nasty reminder that I always had to read the label, and that "dates" were the new thing I had to watch out for now that I was eating gluten-free. Imagine my surprise when I bit into my first "allergy free" cookie and had an allergic reaction to it. I'd actually forgotten I was allergic to dates because, really, who eats dates anyway? LOL! But they're in a lot of gluten-free food.

Raisin -- what about meat jerky? Tillamook Country Smoker makes some varieties of jerky that are gluten-free -- the ones without soy sauce, mostly.

Can you eat Quinoa?

raisin Enthusiast

I sometimes eat "Buffalo Guys" brand buffalo jerky - But Tillamook Country Smoker doesn't seem to be dedicated gluten-free, and I'm very sensitive to CC. I am unsure about quinoa (have yet to actually try it) but I think buckwheat is okay?

I just got a big cup of V8, after reading the ingredients, and finding out it is dedicated gluten-free. :D I am intolerant of potatoes, not allergic, so other nightshades (tomatoes) are fine. Feels good to expand my diet, even a little.

Ah... the frustrating "very sensitive" -- how frustrating! I have quite a few other food issues (not quite as many as you) but at least I am not in the super-sensitive category. That would limit things quite a bit further!

Old Wisconsin meat snacks are marked Gluten-Free right on the package, but they do contain MSG, which it seems a lot of Celiacs have trouble with. I don't do well with MSG but I don't react to the Old Wisconsin things, so I don't think the quantity is very high.

What about fresh fruits? They come pre-packaged right from the tree. ;) Are there any you can eat? I can do apples, bananas, oranges, grapefruits, grapes, and berries, but I have to be careful with quantities, and I try not to eat the same fruit more than twice in one day or two days in a row. It's hard for me not to focus on the list of fruits and veggies I *can't* eat (it's so much longer than the list I *can* eat!) but really when I look at the list it isn't all that bad -- especially since there's a whole category (berries) I don't have trouble with.

I eat a lot of apples, grapes, and rasp/black-berries, some tomato, watermelon, pomegranate, and nectarine, and can tolerate sweet oranges, but don't go near citrus, pineapple, straw/blue-berry, banana, kiwis, dates, coconut, or peaches. Fruits I haven't really tried (but now think of) are.. Starfruit, avocado, honeydew, cantaloupe, horned melon, plums, cranberries, prunes, and pretty much any other fruits. - Long list now that I say it! Thank you for the suggestion. c:

it seems like my stomach is sensitive to everything, though, it's driving me crazy. I think I still have an unidentified allergy. I am hoping I have H. Pylori, because if that's what causes my chronic dyspepsia, I will be able to eat many more foods.

      It's possible he's in the early stages of celiac disease, and it has been caught before villi damage. The blood test results so far do indicate possible celiac disease, as well as his strong family history of celiac disease. If his symptoms get better on a gluten-free diet this would be another strong indication. Personally I think it's definitely better to proceed on the safe side and go gluten-free, rather than to risk severe villi damage and all that comes with it.

      For some context: I have type 1 diabetes (T1D) (since 11 years) and celiac disease(since 4 years) For about a year now, I’ve been experiencing permanent floating and undigested stools. I’ve had a pancreas elastase test done. The first result was extremely low at 44, but a second test came back at 236. My doctor said that since one result is normal, it rules out pancreatic insufficiency because, according to them, elastase levels would always stay low if that were the issue. However, could the 236 have been a false result? My doctor also thinks I don’t have pancreatic insufficiency because I’m able to gain weight. I also get hgh injections as my bone age is younger than my real age, this also contributes to weight gain, so I dont know if weight gain can rule out malabsorption. But maybe if I had real malabsorption I wouldnt gain any weight even with hgh? For celiac, I’m on a gluten-free diet, but there might b small cross-contamination from things like pepper labeled as “may contain gluten.” or sausages which dont have gluten ingredient but say may contain. My doctor said that small amounts like this wouldn’t harm me and even mentioned that an occasional small exposure to gluten may not do much damage (which seems questionable since I thought even tiny amounts could be harmful). She also said that when Im older (Im m17) I could try eating small amounts of gluten and do antibody blood tests to see if I can tolerate small amounts or not. For reference, I’m asymptomatic when it comes to celiac, so I have no idea if I’ve been “glutened” or not. My first concerning celiac blood test was semi high IgA, then 3 months later we did a check up and my IgA was high so it was confirmed celiac. Since than I’ve had celiac antibody tests done yearly to see how my diet is going, and they’ve been negative, but I’ve heard those aren’t always reliable. I’ve never had a follow-up endoscopy to confirm healing. I also always kept eating „may contain gluten“ food. (I live in Germany so I dont know if „may contain gluten“ is as risky as in the usa but I suppose both are as risky) These stool issues started around the same time I was doing excessive heavy lifting at the gym. Could stress or lifting have triggered this, or is that less likely since the symptoms persist even after I stopped lifting? Occasionally, I’ll feel very mild stomach discomfort, but it’s rare and not severe. My doctor (also a dietist) said floating, undigested stools could still be “normal,” but that doesn’t seem realistic to me. Could this be impacting my vitamin or protein absorption? I also did a fructose intolerance breath test and had a high baseline of 20 ppm, but it never increased—only decreased over time. I fasted for 12 hours and didn’t eat fructose beforehand, but my stomach didn’t feel completely empty during the test. Could this mean the test was inaccurate? For lactose intolerance, I did the breath test but only fasted 10 hours and had eaten lactose prior because I wasn’t aware of the proper diet restrictions. My results were: 14, 12, 15, 25, 35, 40, 40 ppm—which would be considered positive. But given that I didn’t fast long enough or follow the right diet, could this result be unreliable? Has anyone else dealt with similar symptoms? What ended up being the cause for you? And sorry for the long text!

      The Docs' and NP haven't committed to Celiac determination yet but say go gluten-free diet because...  And I have with improved physical results - feeling better; overall functions better, and more energy.  Still 10 pounds down in weight but I still have BMI of ~23.  It's been just over a month now gluten-free diet.  I'm fortunate I get along with diary/milk well and most other foods. I wanted ask about this site's sponsor, gliadin X.  If this is legit, seems like a good product to keep on hand. Though it says it's only a safety for incidental gluten contact - not a substitue for gluten-free diet. What's your input on this? This may be sensitive subject since they're a sponsor. I've used resources here and other sites for information, gluten-free food/product lists. So thank you for all that support. That's it for now - Stay warm...  -2F this morning in Colorado!

      I did suffer with gastric symptoms before diagnosis, but got all sorts of weird and wacky symptoms after going gluten free.   Things got much better once my antibodies fell to normal levels, but it took years (please don't panic, many people's go to normal levels relatively quickly when following a gluten-free diet). Causes of the symptoms you mention that I also experienced were iron supplements, a temporary dairy intolerance (this is common in coeliacs and should pass when your gut heals properly), and eating oats, as mentioned above.  Other symptoms I got were musculoskeletal pain after diagnosis, but again, once my coeliac blood tests were normal, I had no more pain. I did notice patterns emerging in foods that I reacted to and learned to steer clear of them, then gradually reintroduced them when my gut healed, such as soya, pure oats and dairy products.    You might like to keep a food diary.

      Well the conflicting results continue as the biopsy has come back negative. 😵‍💫 Waiting to discuss further but I really don’t know what to think now? Eight biopsy’s were taken from duodenum which surely should be sufficient if it was coeliac?
