Hi, I'm Amanda and wonder if you have any suggestions for Gluten Free and Dairy Free lunches. I'm getting bored with my options. Thanks!

Amanda :D

Wow, what a good question. My husband is gluten free & I can't eat dairy. Hopefully there are more people in the same situation as us.

Leftovers! That's mostly what I do, but it varies.

Usually, the leftovers I take are soup, stir-fry, stew, chili, or casseroles.

Fresh things I've made include:

tuna tacos

pb&j sandwhich

rice cakes w/ peanut butter

bean salads

hummus

shrimp salad

One of those items is usually accompanied by:

raw veggies

fresh fruit

nuts

Hey, how old are you? :) My suggestions would vary based on what your resources are. If you have access to a microwave, a whole host of options are available--heating up leftovers, mac and cheese, the Mrs. Leepers meals are awesome and if you make it in the morning or the night before, you just need to bring it in a microwavable container and heat up. They have chicken alfredo, beef lasagna, etc. Also Amy's meals--some are gluten-free, some aren't, though, so be careful. Without access to a microwave your options are pretty limited--sandwiches, fruit, yogurt, etc., but if that's all you have to work with, I'm sure I'll be able to come up with a lot more. :huh:

Well, when I "go out" for lunch it means I go to the grocery store nearest to work, grab some fruit, some gluten-free sliced chicken, some Lays Stax, some cheese, maybe a Snickers bar and a diet Coke. Then I sit and eat it in the car.

Yep, that is how I "eat lunch out."

Otherwise, leftovers.

I'm living off of Amy's rice bowls right now. Those and the enchilada bowl. I have a mini-fridge and a microwave at work though. The bowls don't have to be in a freezer for those four or five hours before I nuke em, the mini-fridge works fine. Of course, if this is what you're getting sick of, ignore me.

      Be sure to be eating gluten daily until all of your celiac disease tests are completed (at least 2 slices worth of wheat bread per day for at least 6-8 weeks before any blood tests, and 2 weeks before an endoscopy).

      @maylynn, No, I took over the counter thiamine supplements, thiamine hydrochloride, Benfotiamine, and TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide).  My doctors were not very knowledgeable about nutrition and vitamins, and they missed my symptoms being connected to vitamin deficiencies.  I studied nutrition before earning a degree in Microbiology because I wanted to know what vitamins were doing inside the body.  My doctors just prescribed pharmaceuticals to cover the symptoms of poor health due to malabsorption of nutrients. We need more thiamine when we're physically ill, physically active, emotionally stressed and work outside in hot weather.  Thiamine works in concert with the other B vitamins, so all should be supplemented together.  Vitamin D needs to be activated by thiamine.  Vitamin D helps regulate the immune system.   Don't take Thiamine Mononitrate because it is not bioavailable.  The body has difficulty absorbing and utilizing it.   Do keep us posted on your progress!

      @knitty kitty Did they give you medication for the Thiamine? I have never heard of that and have never related to symptoms more. My energy is always SO low. Zero drive to get anything done or work out. I used to love being on the go and being active. I am heading to the doctor next week so I will make sure to bring this up! Thank you so much!

      @trents I have had another scope done since being diagnosed. The only thing they told me at that time was my body seems to be healing very well and to continue what I was doing. At that time, I had only been diagnosed 2 years so it may be a possibility that it was healing then but not now maybe. I think you're right that it's about time one was done! I will be bringing that up to my doctor at my apt. next week. Thank you for the suggestions with food. I have tried diary so far. Seems to not be the issue (luckily!). Will have to try the others!

      Thank you so much for the advice, Scott. I am going back to the doctors next week to get more blood work done. The only thing they recommended me to take so far has been two shots of liquid iron in the morning to keep my iron levels high. What supplements or vitamins have worked for you? I never physically feel my celiac symptoms, unless I got cross contamination which I feel has only happened a handful of times in the last four years. When I eat it feels so different than my celiac. Which makes me wonder if it is another food like you suggested. Has anyone ever had issues with meat? I feel like I can snack and snack until it is a full meal, usually including meat. Could that be an allergy or just my gut not digesting well from the celiac? These are all things I am wanting to bring up to my doctor next week but hearing from other people with the same disease beforehand makes me feel less crazy about all of my stomach issues! Thank you again! I will check out the article.
