Work-Friendly Snacks?

hello all!

I am a teacher and will be going back to work tomorrow. However, this will be my first time working while gluten-free (and being treated for thyroid and adrenal problems). I need to eat something every 2-3 hours and would like to keep easy stuff in my desk to snack on (easy enough that I can snack in the 2 minutes between classes (for example, an orange would not be good).

Can anyone suggest any pre-packaged food that would be good for this? Or anything that is EASY to make, that could be made the weekend prior? I am having a hard time planning all of this out.

Any ideas would be SOOO appreciated!!!

Do you have any other restrictions beside gluten? And is your school a nut free zone?

Nuts are good snack unless you have nut-allergic kids in class obviously.

Lara Bars are good (also have nuts though)

Enjoy Life bars (free of all 8 allergens if you need it)

gluten-free pretzels

Dried fruit (raisins, apricots, craisins, banana chips, apple chips, etc)

Lays Stax

Popcorn

corn chips

jerky

Keep a little lunch bag with an ice pack and you can keep some things that need to be kept somewhat cold like:

Baby Carrots or other raw veggies and hummus

celery with cream cheese or peanut butter

presliced apples just put lemon juice on it to keep them from going bad) and caramel

pudding cups

jello

cheese cubes

hard boiled egg

lunch meat

Ha, I am not sure yet about my other restrictions... still working on that one. But at this point I am trying to stay away from eggs, soy, and possibly meat. Also sugar (or at least lots of it, or refined sugar).

My school is not a nut-free zone, but I will possibly have students with nut allergies and will have to look into that first.

Thanks for the ideas!!

The KIND bars are really good and healthy. You can find them at Amazon. Greek yogurt is one of my favorites too.

Just be sure to check the labels. Last I checked Hormel brand pepperoni is gluten-free and Old Wisconsin beef sticks are gluten-free (both say gluten-free on the packages).

This is copied and pasted from my blog, and the formatting lost the links and went weird, but there are a few new ideas:

Nonperishable:

1. Nuts

2. Dried fruit or fruit bars

3. Whole grain crackers or brown rice cakes

4. Hot or cold whole grain cereal, like oatmeal

5. Packets of dried or canned fish (sardines, anyone?)

6. Popcorn, the plainer the better

7. Spoonful of peanut butter

      Headaches / Migraines and Hypoglycaemia

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @Sarah Grace,  Thank you for the update!  It's so good to hear from you!  I'm glad Thiamine, B Complex and magnesium have helped you.  Yes, it's important to take all three together.    I had to quit eating cheese and nuts a long time ago because they triggered migraines in me, too.  They are high in tyrosine, an amino acid, found also in fermented foods like sauerkraut and red wine.   I found taking Tryptophan very helpful with migraines.  Tryptophan is a precursor of serotonin and people with migraines are often low in serotonin.  (Don't take tryptophan if you're taking an SSRI.)     This recent study shows tryptophan really helps. The association between dietary tryptophan intake and migraine https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31254181/   For immediate respite from a migraine, try smiling REALLY BIG, mouth closed, tongue pressed against roof of mouth, and crinkle up your eyes like you just heard or saw the funniest thing...  This causes an endorphin release in the brain.  Usually it's the funny event, then the endorphin release and then the smile.  Smiling first makes the endorphin center think it missed something and it catches up quickly by releasing endorphins after the big crinkle eyed smile.  Must make crinkly eyes with smile or it won't work.  If you do this too frequently within a short time frame (several hours), you can deplete your endorphins, but you'll make more in a couple of hours, so no worries. Get your thyroid checked, too.  Migraines are also seen in low thyroid function (Hashimoto's or hypothyroidism).  Celiac and thyroid problems go hand in hand.   Vitamin D helps, too.  Low Vitamin D is found in migraine.   I'm so glad you're doing better.

      Its been a complete nightmare dealing with all these health issues one thing after another and being told many different things.I am looking for a new primary care physician considering when I told my past doctor of 25 years I was diagnosed before any foods eliminated from my diet and now this year at age 54 no longer able to push considering Im always exhausted, leg pain , stomach,skin and eye issues,high blood pressure to name a few all worsen because I was a  school bus driver and few years until my immune system went to hell and was fired because of it.Im still struggling now, Im sibo positive and been told im not celiac and that I am.I have a hernia and dealing with menopause. Its exhausting and is causing depression because of non medical help. Today I saw another gastrointestinalist and he said everything im feeling doesn't add up to celiac disease since my ITg levels are normal so celiac disease is under control and it's something else. I for got I had Barrett's esophagus diagnosed in 2007 because recent doctors down played it just like my celiac disease. Im currently looking for a pcp in my area because it is affecting me personally and professionally. Im told since celiac looks under control it's IBS and I need to see a therapist to control it. Gastrointestinalist around here think only food consumption and if ITG looks normal its bit celiac disease it's something else. Is this right? This is what im being told. I want medical help but told its IBS.Im feel lost by " medical team "

      My migraines generally have their onset during the early morning hours as well. Presently, I am under siege with them, having headaches all but two days so far this month. I have looked at all the things reported to be common triggers (foods, sleep patterns, weather patterns, stress, etc.). Every time I think I start to see a pattern it proves not to pan out in the long run. I'm not sure it's any one thing but may, instead, be a combination of things that coalesce at certain times. It's very frustrating. The medication (sumatriptan or "Imatrix") is effective and is the only thing that will quell the pain. NSAIDs, Tylenol, even hydrocodone doesn't touch it. But they only give you 9 does of sumatriptan a month. And it doesn't help that medical science doesn't really know what causes migraines. They know some things about it but the root cause is still a mystery.
