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.

      Two months. In extreme situations like this where it’s clearly a smoking gun? I’m in LA so went to a very big hospital for pcp and gi and nutritionist

      So far 3 months in - worsening symptoms. I have had the worst constipation in my life and I am primarily eating naturally gluten-free foods like potatoes, eggs, salad with homemade dressing, corn tortillas, etc. I hate gluten-free bread and pasta so I don't eat it. Occasionally I eat gluten-free almond flour crackers. As stated in the post, I don't have any vitamin deficiency. I was already tested.

      Talk to your  Talk to your provider about testing for vitamin and mineral deficiency.  celiac disease causes malabsorption and eventually malnutrition.  Especially vitamin D. Having the gallbladder removed seems to be a common step on the way to a Celiac Disease Diagnosis,  Gallbladder is a sympton of deficient Choline. Eggs and red meat are the primary source..Choline makes up a majority of the bile salts.  The bile gets thick, doesn't get enough into intestine to digest fats well.  Can eventually back up into gallbladder, cause gallstones.  Without bile, bowel movements can become hard. Try to avoid all processed foods while you are healing, The gluten-free foods are not fortified with vitamins and use various ingredients to mimic fat that bothers many Celiacs.  Choose vegatables with low omega 6.  Optimum omega 6 to omega 3 ratio is less than 3:1.  Wheat flour is 22:1.  Grass fed milk is 1:1.   Commercial Dairies milk is 5:1.  They feed wheat, rye and barley Gluten as part of the food mix.

      Your DGP-G is also high. The thing to do now would be to trial the gluten-free diet for a few months to see if there is improvement in symptoms.
