I may have jury duty this week, crossing fingers I won't be called. I know the jury room has a fridge, but I don't want my open food containers around all those people. Especially if I'm out of the jury room. For some reason that bothers me. So, some ideas on what to take that I can keep in my pocetbook? For some reason I'm drawing a blank because I need to be gluten-free, corn free, nut free and soy free. I've thought of some kettle chips and fruit. I also don't eat preservatives when I can help it. I've done jello okay in the past. The cocoa pebble bars bother me that I once kept in my pocketbook. Thanks

Raisins, apples, maybe some sunflower seed butter to go on the apples. I keep a lot more in my purse, but I don't need to be nut free. That's hard!

They have cute little lunch bags that look like a purse with a small gel pack inside to keep things fresh.or carry a bigger purse & make your own lunch bag inside the purse. Cheese , crackers, jerky, protein bars( comfort bars are wondeful!!!. fruit packs,veggie sticks , pretzels...I need protein sochipswould not carry me through the day... Wouldn't tthey give a break for lunch if you were there all day? I also have put a salad in a bag.....

They will give me a lunch break, but it's such a hassle to go back to the car and go home. It would take about 30 minutes to do that. Thanks for the suggestions, I have two more days to think on it.

What about Enjoy Life bars? They are free of the top 8 allergens and I don't think they have corn either. They also make a nut free trail mix: Open Original Shared Link

I have not seen their trail mix in my area but it seems like you could easily make your own mix from the same things they use--Dried pineapple, crasins, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, raisins, etc. I would add shredded coconut and maybe some mini chocolate chips too (Enjoy Life makes them soy and dairy free) if it's not going to be hot.

I had jury duty last month. I brought some water, fruit, homemade trail mix, a hard boiled egg, and some gluten-free pasta in a tupperware-type container. It lasted me all day and thankfully after that my jury service was done! :D

      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/
