gluten-free Healthy Snacks?

I will be spending a week in a poor west Virginia town with my church. We will be staying in cabins with a refridgerator. No microwave or stove.

The drive down will be two days there and two days back. So living four day off of fast food. I refuse to eat fast food. I'm also a vegetarian so that won't work anyway.

There's a local market in town so I'll be able to buy fresh fruit and some veggies once we get down there. But now I need healthy non perishable gluten free snacks.

I don't eat hardly anything so it doesn't need to be big. So far I have:

A super healthy protein bar (20 grams protein

Some cereal to munch on...either rice, honey chex, Mesa sunrise, or whole O's (what do you suggest)

Is it worth bringing a packet or two of oatmeal to eat cold? (no microwave/stove$

Any other suggestions? Healthy is key here

Larabars or nature valley almond crunch bars, raisins, squeeze packs of Justin's nut butters, homemade trail mix (chex, nuts, raisins, etc). That's all I can think of right now. Hope I helped a tiny bit! Good luck! :)

Salba Seeds & the new kid on the block Savi seeds... They both have a wealth of good things in them...How about dried fruit with out the chemicals of course....I love dates, mango apples & a nut butter...

I found a cookie called perfect fit at whole foods. It is a protein cookie, 150 calories, 4 g. of fiber, 10g. protein.. gluten-free, low sodium, no soy, wheat or egg, hormone free milk protein.. These are made by Boundless Nutrition.Haven't tried it yet but looks good...

try some gopicnic gluten free packs. You can get them at a decent price from amazon. They are non-perishable snack packs at around 400 calories. I always take them with me when I travel.

Peanut butter and rice cakes are also great.

      My only proof

      By Jmartes71 · Posted

      Hello still dancing around my celiac disease and not getting medically backed up considering Ive been glutenfree since 1994.All my ailments are the core issue of my ghost disease aka celiac disease. Im angery because the "celiac specialist " basically lightly dismissed me.Im extremely angery and fighting for a new primary care physician which is hard to do in Northern Cali.So currently without and looking.Im angery that its lightly taken when its extremely serious to the one who has it.My only evidence is a brochure back in the days when I got news letters when I lived at my parents.It was published in 1998.I was diagnosed before any foods eliminated from my diet. Angery doctors don't take seriously when Im clearly speaking.I did write to the medicine of congress and have case number.

      still struggling with cravings

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I totally get this. It's absolutely a grieving process, and it's okay to feel gutted about the loss of those simple joys, especially at 18. Your feelings are completely valid—it's not about being ungrateful for your amazing boyfriend, it's about mourning the life you thought you'd have. That "tortured by the smell" feeling is so real. It does get easier, I promise, but it's okay to sit in the sadness and just vent about how much it stings right now. Thanks for sharing that. Celiac.com has published a book on our site by Jean Duane PhD called Gluten-Centric Culture, which covers many of the social aspects of having celiac disease: This chapter in particular covers issues around eating with family and others - Gluten-Centric Culture: Chapter 5 - Grabbing A Bite Together:

      Oh my goodness medication causing pain !!!!

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Many of us with celiac find that the fillers in medications can cause a reaction, and sometimes our bodies just process things weirdly. That "rebound muscle pain" and "burning feet" you described sounds awful and is a huge red flag. It's frustrating enough managing the diet without medication causing setbacks. So sorry you're dealing with this, but you're definitely on the right track by connecting the dots. You can search this site for prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/

      Knowing what to do when feeling unwell.

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It's so tough when you're doing everything right and still get hit with it. I'm glad you're figuring out a system that works for you—the peppermint tea and rehydration powders are smart moves. It sounds like you've really learned to listen to your body, and that's half the battle. Sticking to simple, safe food at home is the best way to build yourself back up. It's great you can take the time to rest properly. Thanks for sharing what works; it's a big help to others figuring this out too. This article, and the comments below it, may be helpful:

      Celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis has taken Me from Me

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I am so sorry you're going through this. It's bad enough to fight for a diagnosis and manage this disease, but to have your partner use it as a weapon against you is truly devastating. What you're describing isn't just a lack of support; it's abuse, full stop. Controlling your food and money is cruel, and his pleasure in your misery is chilling. Please hear this: the kindness from that woman at the food pantry is what you deserve. It's a glimpse of the real world, where people care. You deserve to eat, to heal, and to have peace. His actions are the biggest barrier to your health right now, and you are not broken—you are surviving in an impossible situation. Don't give up on that lifeline you've found.
