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.

      Knowing what to do when feeling unwell.

      I was diagnosed with coeliac disease a couple of years ago [ish]. I love my food and a variety of food, so it's been hard, as it is with everyone. I try and ensure everything I eat doesn't contain gluten, but occasionally I think something must have got through that has gluten in. Mainly I know because I have to dash to the loo, but recently I have noticed...

      The Happy Tart review

      Thanks. Since the back and forth and promises of review and general stalling went on for more than six months, the credit company will no longer investigate. They have a cutoff of maybe six months.

      The Happy Tart review

      Is this the same restaurant? https://www.facebook.com/TheHappyTartFallsChurch/ Is it too late to take this up with your credit card company? Normally you have a few months to do a chargeback with them. It seems very odd that they are taking this approach with someone who is likely to be a regular customer--not a good business-minded way of handling...

      Stomach burning and neuropathy

      Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The...

      Knowing what to do when feeling unwell.

      By Me,Sue · Posted

      I was diagnosed with coeliac disease a couple of years ago [ish]. I love my food and a variety of food, so it's been hard, as it is with everyone. I try and ensure everything I eat doesn't contain gluten, but occasionally I think something must have got through that has gluten in. Mainly I know because I have to dash to the loo, but recently I have noticed that I feel nauseous after possibly being glutened. I think the thing that I have got better at is knowing what to do when I feel wiped out after a gluten 'episode'. I drink loads of water, and have just started drinking peppermint tea. I also have rehydration powders to drink. I don't feel like eating much, but eventually feel like I need to eat. Gluten free flapjacks, or gluten free cereal, or a small gluten free kids meal are my go to. I am retired, so luckily I can rest, sometimes even going to bed when nothing else works. So I feel that I am getting better at knowing how to try and get back on track. I am also trying to stick to a simpler menu and eat mostly at home so that I can be more confident about what I am eating. THANKS TO THOSE WHO REPLIED ABOUT THE NAUSEA .

      Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The good news is that after your gut heals (for most people who are 100% gluten-free this will take several months to two years) you may be able to slowly add some these items back into your diet after the damaged villi heal. This article may be helpful: The most common nutrient deficiencies associated with celiac disease that may lead to testing for the condition include iron, vitamin D, folate (vitamin B9), vitamin B12, calcium, zinc, and magnesium.  Unfortunately many doctors, including my own doctor at the time, don't do extensive follow up testing for a broad range of nutrient deficiencies, nor recommend that those just diagnosed with celiac disease take a broad spectrum vitamin/mineral supplement, which would greatly benefit most, if not all, newly diagnosed celiacs. Because of this it took me decades to overcome a few long-standing issues I had that were associated with gluten ataxia, for example numbness and tingling in my feet, and muscle knots--especially in my shoulders an neck. Only long term extensive supplementation has helped me to resolve these issues.
