I will be attending a camp for school that food is already provided for. I got a hold of the menu and will be bringing quite a bit of my own food. One thing I want is a good treat to have when all the other campers are munching on yummy food. I want to be sure I bring a good treat and not be disappointed when I open it up and it eat. Any good treat ideas (cookies for example) for me? :) Thanks.

Take the snacks you already enjoy. Will you access to a fridge & freezer? Most places will allow you to keep a few speciality foods . If I were a young person I would take chips & dip, pretzels, candy, twinkies ( homemade) , choc.chip cookies, ice cream sandwich all homemade of course. That is what our kids take for football camp.

I also check the menu for the week & pack, cereal, bread, muffins for breakfast. Lunch & supper I usually send deli meats , cheese, beef jerky. Supper is pizza, chicken nuggets , hot dogs, burgers. Many times they have salads & veggies plus fruit available.

You can order GoPicnic lunchables that are gluten-free from their site.

Protein bars, comfort bars or zing bars are the favs at our house.

Oberto beef jerky plain is gluten-free. They do have a few flavors as well but we just get plain.

Gary West Meats has snack meats gluten-free that are very tasty.

Just about anything from Pamela's Products is outstanding. Before giving up dairy, I loved the Dark Chocolate Chocolate Chunk cookies. Also their brownie mix is superlative. The very rare gluten-free products that you can share with non-celiacs and actually make them jealous.:)

      Disregarded

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I am so sorry you're going through this. It's completely understandable to feel frustrated, stressed, and disregarded after such a long and difficult health journey. It's exhausting to constantly advocate for yourself, especially when you're dealing with so many symptoms and positive diagnoses like SIBO, while still feeling unwell. The fact that you have been diligently following the diet without relief is a clear sign that something else is going on, and your doctors should be investigating other causes or complications, not dismissing your very real suffering.

      Paying for my own Celiac screening at WalkInLab so a positive result doesn’t become part of my medical history

      By Oldturdle · Posted

      It is just so sad that health care in the United States has come to this.  Health insurance should be available to everyone, not just the healthy or the rich.  My heart goes out to you.  I would not hesitate to have the test and pay for it myself.  My big concern would be how you could keep the results truly private.  I am sure that ultimately, you could not.  A.I. is getting more and more pervasive, and all data is available somewhere.  I don't know if you could give a fake name, or pay for your test with cash.  I certainly would not disclose any positive results on a private insurance application.  As I understand it, for an official diagnosis, an MD needs to review your labs and make the call.  If you end up in the ER, or some other situation, just request a gluten free diet, and say it is because you feel better when you don't eat gluten.      Hang in there, though.  Medicare is not that far away for you, and it will remove a lot of stress from your health care concerns.  You will even be able to "come out of the closet" about being Celiac!

      Yes, I've posted a few times about two companies: Request a Test and Ulta Labs. Also, pretty much we can all request any test we want (with the possible exception of the N protein Covid test and I'm sure a couple of others) with Lab Corp (or Pixel by Lab Corp) and Quest. I much prefer Lab Corp for their professionalism, ease of service and having it together administratively, at least in DC. And just so you know, Request a Test uses Lab Corp and Quest anyway, while Ulta Labs uses only Quest. Ulta Labs is cheaper than Request a Test, but I am tired of dealing with Quest, so I don't use them so much.

      Does Dailymed.nlm.nih.gov site have filters for gluten?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      PS - I think you meant this site, but I don't believe it has been updated in years: http://glutenfreedrugs.com/ so it is best to use: You can search this site for prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/

      A lot to think about here. Does anyone have any recommendations for third party laboratories that will do full panel celiac screens private pay in the U.S.?
