Yep, snacks. I need some ideas. I have back to back classes on monday and wedesday and i know for a fact nothing that is sold in the school store/snack bar are gluten free. Soooo do you guys have some ideas for me? If it helps any i'll be living in the dorms again (the food staff already knows of my needs due to my excellent disability councler).

I was thinking:

apple with peanutbutter

cheese

rice balls? XD

I eat Nature Valley's Almond Crunch bars. They can hold me over an hour or two on days I don't have time to eat lunch. They are really yummy, too! Otherwise, Blue Diamond Nut Thins are also gluten-free, come in a variety of flavors and are horribly addictive. :D And Snickers bars!!!

Hummus cups from Costco or those shelf stable single serve hummus containters with baby carrots or rice crackes.

I feel so much better in general when I bring a snack to work to eat at about 11.

I try to have at least one protein and one veggie on the plate, and a fruit too if I can.

For proteins: almonds, cubed mozzarella cheese, peanut butter

For veggies: snap peas, carrots

For fruit: plum, pear, apple, banana

All of these things are really easy to pack up and you can mix and match based on what you have and what you feel like. You could also put a lean meat, like cubed turkey or chicken, in the protein column but then refrigeration is required and it's less convenient.

ZonePerfect bars (check labels, not all are gluten-free)

They have a lot of protein so they are filling.

snack bars, fruit, and nuts are all obvious choices. But if you can/want to do a little cooking, i recommend keeping a hearty salad in the fridge for quick meals or on the go snacks. Something like an egg salad or the Olivia Salad (i pasted the recipe below) is great for either a gluten free diet or high protein diet. To make a sandwich use gluten free bread obviously.

Ingredients:

2 Cups Chicken Meat (chopped)

1 Cup Potatoes (chopped)

1 Cup Eggs (chopped)

1 Cup Peas

1 1/2 Cup Pickled Persian Cucumbers (chopped)

1 1/2 Cups Mayonnaise

Kosher Salt

Black Pepper

Directions:

1. Boil a chicken, potatos, peas, and eggs all until cooked basically. Remove let cool.

2. Ounce cooled remove 2 cups of the chicken meat onto a cutting board. Chop the chicken, potatoes, eggs, and pickles add to bowl.

3. Add mayonnaise, peas, and season with salt/pepper. Mix, taste for seasoning again.

4. Chill in the fridge before serving.

Got access to a microwave? . . . popcorn

So many ideas :) thank you. Yes, i do have a microwave (its my own even :3) and a refrigerator with a seprate freezer. Both have been a lifesaver in the past.

Just ran across fruity pebbles and cocoa pebbles treats that are clearly marked gluten free. I tried a fruitty pebble treat and it was tolerable. Was never a big fan of the "pebbles" cereals though. I would imagine that this would be a great on the go snack idea for anyone.

Try Glutino Gluten Free Pretzel Twists. I live with it during busy days.

      So I recently had allergy testing for IGE antibodies in response to foods. My test results came back positive to corn, white potatoes, egg whites. Tomatoes, almonds and peanuts to name a few.  I have had obvious reactions to a few of these - particularly tomatoes and corn- both GI issues. I don’t really understand all this allergy versus celiac stuff. If the food allergies are mild do I have to avoid these foods entirely? I don’t know what I will eat if I can’t  have corn based gluten free products

      Geography makes a difference.  I'm in the West and Trader Joe's gluten-free bread tastes great and is a better price than most gluten-free breads sold elsewhere in my area.

      We have four children (7-14 yo), and our 7 year old was diagnosed with NCGS (though all Celiac labs were positive, her scope at 4 years old was negative so docs in the US won't call it celiac). We have started her on a Gluten Free diet after 3 years of major digestive issues and ruling out just about everything under the sun. Our home and kitchen and myself are all gluten-free. But I have not asked my husband/her dad or her other siblings to go completely gluten-free with us. They are at home, but not out of the home. This has led to situations when we are eating out where she has to consistently see others eating things she can't have and she has begun to say "Well, I can't have <fill in the blank>...stupid gluten."  How have you supported your gluten-free kiddos in the mental health space of this journey, especially young ones like her. I know it's hard for me as an adult sometimes to miss out, so I can't imagine being 7 and dealing with it! Any tips or ideas to help with this?

      By the time I was 5 I had my first auto0immune disorder, Migraine headaches, with auras to blind me, and vomiting, sensitivity to light and sound. I was 5 years old, and my stepfather would have pizza night, milling his own flour, making thick cheesy gluten pizza, that I would eat and the next day, I would have serious migraines, and my mother & stepfather did nothing about my medical problems. When I was 17 in my first year at college, I was diagnosed with my 2nd known auto-immune disorder, Meniere's disease. I was a elite athlete, a swimmer, and soccer player. And once again my parents didn't think anything of understanding why I had a disorder only older people get. Now after my mother passed from Alzheimer's disease she also suffered with living with gluten. She had a rash for 30 years that nobody could diagnose. She was itchy for 45 years total. My brother had a encapsulated virus explodes in his spleen and when this happened his entire intestines were covered with adhesions, scar tissue and he almost lost his life. He has 5 daughters, and when I finally was diagnosed after being pregnant and my body went into a cytokine storm, I lost my chance to have children, I ended up having Hashimoto's disease, Degenerative Disc disease, and my body started to shut down during my first trimester. I am 6ft tall and got down to 119lbs. My husband and I went to a special immunologist in Terrace, California. They took 17 vials of blood as we flew there for a day and returned home that evening. In 3 weeks, we had the answer, I have Celiac disease. Once this was known, only my father and husband made efforts to change their way of feeding me. At the family cabin, my stepfather & mother were more worried that I would ruin Thanksgiving Dinner. It wasn't until one of my cousins was diagnosed with Celiac disease. They finally looked into getting Gluten Free flour and taking measures to limit "gluten" in meals. He did nothing but ask for me to pay for my own food and wi-fi when I came to the cabin to stay after our house burned down. When he informed my mother, they proceeding to get into a physical fight and she ended up with a black eye. The is just more trauma for me. Sam had no interest in telling the truth about what he wanted. He lied to my mother that he had asked my husband if I could pay for "food" when he asked Geoffrey if I had money to pay for my wi-fi. My mother hates when he spends so much time on the computer so he lied and said I could pay for my own food. I will remind you I weighed 119lbs at this time. (At 6ft) that is a very sick looking person. Neither parent was worried about my weight, they just fought about how cheap my stepfather was. As my mother was diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease in 2014. He had her sign over the will to a trust and added his children. He had no testimonial capacity at the time, so she signed without proper papers. Making this Trust null and void. When I gave my brother my childhood home, my mother stated I would be getting an equal part of inheritance to the house on Race. It currently worth 2.0 million $. I got nothing, and my stepfather has since disowned me b/c of my claim and he knows that my mother would never have left it uneven between my biological brother and myself. She sat me and my husband down, as we lived at the Race Street house and treated and took care of it as our own. My brother took over b/c he was going through a horrific divorce and needed a home so he could get a better custody deal with his soon to be ex-wife who was a Assist DA for Denver. She used the girls against him, and he & I were the primary caregivers. We, Judd and I spent the most time with them pre the divorce. Once Judd moved into the house, he threw all of my mother, grandmother and my family heirlooms out to the Goodwill. Nobody told my mother about this as she was going through cancer treatment and had Alzheimer's disease in her mother and her sister. My stepfather and biological brother took advantage of this matter, as I called a "family council" that my brother just never could make it to at the last moment. All of the furnishing, kitchen ware, everything was in the house my brother just moved into. He had had 2 weddings, I chose to elope b/c my stepfather ruined my brother's first wedding by talking about his relationship with my brother in front of my dad and his entire family, insulting him and having my grandfather leave the ceremony. It was a disaster. My stepfather just plays dumb and blames my father for the slight. I was the only child not to have a wedding. So, my mother and stepfather never had to pay for a thing. My mother had had an agreement with my father he'd pay for college and all medical issues with their kids, myself and Judd. So truly my mother never had to pay for anything big for me in her entire life. I am looking for anyone that has had a similar story, where they grew up in a household that had a baker that regularly milled flour and ate gluten. What happened to you? DId you suffer from different auto-immune diseases b/c of living with a baker using "gluten" Please let me know. I have been looking into legal ways to get my stepfather to give me what my mother had promised, and he erased. Thank you for listening to my story. Jane Donnelly

      Possibly gluten withdrawal. Lot's of info on the internet about it. Somewhat controversial but apparently gluten plugs into the same neuro sensors as opiates do and some people get a similar type withdrawal as they do when quitting opiates. Another issue is that gluten-free facsimile flours are not fortified with vitamins and minerals as is wheat flour (in the U.S. at least) so when the switch is made to gluten-free facsimile foods, especially if a lot of processed gluten-free foods are being used as substitutes, vitamin and mineral deficiencies can result. There is also the possibility that she has picked up a virus or some but that is totally unrelated to going gluten-free.
