Well, I am heading to a concert on the 23rd with a friend from college. I am going to have to eat, and I am going to have to function throughout the night. I was thinking a loaf of udi's and some pb/jelly in my car, some larabars, and a stop at Whole Foods for coffee and breakfast. I am wicked excited about going although super nervous about the food situation!!!

Suggestions??

It's so great to feel like a 23 year old again!!!

I hate to sound like a broken record, as I have posted this before, but a lifesaver for us has been ZonePerfect bars. Not all of their flavors are gluten-free, but several are, including Double Dark Chocolate, Chocolate Caramel Cluster, Chocolate Almond Raisin, Chocolate Peanut Butter, and Fudge Graham (despite the name). These are a high-protein bar so they are pretty satisfying. You can get them for about $1 each.

the last concert I went to I brought those rice crackers/Glutino pretzels and some cheddar cheese. I had some shrimp cocktail too. Good luck!

I always take Larabars everywhere. I research the area I'll be traveling to and find restaurants with gluten free menues. I play it super safe and don't eat anything unproven before the concert, pack pepto and advil just in case. Then depending on how late it is after I find a safe meal.

Something I didn't think of at my last concert...beer. Unsure what type of concert you attend but I go to metal shows and I got beer thrown all over me in the mosh pit.

Having beer dumped on me is a nightmare of mine! O_o I have a lot of meetings for work in bars so it is a definite hazard! O_o

I make up some gluten-free pasta salad when going to a concert. then eat it afterwords. It is hearty and sustains me and I don't have to worry. :)

Just got a visual of someone in full Haz Mat gear in the mosh pit. :P

I've been to 3 concerts in the last 2 months (Paul Mccartney- something to cross off m bucket list) Roger Waters performing The Wall and an Australian Pink Floyd Cover Group. I brought my own food but still seriously CC'd by all of the spilled beer around me. Bottom line is that the concerts were worth every bit of suffering i felt over the next few days. So... bring your own food, realize you might have day or two that you don't feel well but above all ENJOY!!!!!!!!!!!!!

P.S. going to see U2 in the summer and regardless of any CC I can't wait to go!!!! Please let us all know how it went!

      Celiac and allergic to common subs and adds in prepared foods

      By DAR girl · Posted

      Looking for help sourcing gluten-free products that do not contain potato or corn derived ingredients. I have other autoimmune conditions (Psoriatic Arthritis and Sjogrens) so I’m looking for prepared foods as I have fatigue and cannot devote a lot of time to baking my own treats.

      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/
