Looking For A Safe Power Bar

So here is my situation. I'm not just celiac, but also affected by rice in many forms. Sometimes pure rice is fine, but often rice flour is a problem. For instance rice puffs like Pirate's Booty make me react. Beers from rice also make me react. Also - nuts make me react. Peanuts and Pistacio's have both caused me to have symptoms recently.

Late afternoon I need something before going to the gym.

Today I stood in the aisle with nutritional bars and read the labels on everything and didn't see anything that would work.

Am I doomed to have to bring some chicken or something to eat an hour or so before going to the gym or is there a power bar that is gluten, rice and nut free?

Any ideas or suggestions?

Maybe I'll need to go liquid? I've never done liquids... Maybe I should just start with a chocolate milk and see how that works?

Had to respond because I laughed out loud -- I have so many intolerances that on long bike rides I do bring a chicken thigh in my jersey -- I've gotten some strange looks.

Gu packs are gluten free and give a great boost. Pretty sure they are rice free, but you'd need to check.

Good Luck!

PS Chocolate Milk is a great to help muscle recover after exercise, not sure if it is great before exercise.

Lisa,

Yes - it is funny.... Sitting at my desk and pulling out a chicken breast before going to the gym... People are like...... Um, dude, lunch was a couple hours ago.

I'm going to try choco milk today, and then move into protein drinks next week after studying over the weekend.

I'm a lover of Lara Bars, but it seems I can't find one without nuts. I'll check the website and see if maybe my store just didn't have ones that would work for me.

Just an idea. Could you find a recipe that might work...make your own...wrap individually...and freeze them?

I've been planning to look into this option because the offspring works out every day... He hated the Larabars I bought for him to try... In fact, he said, (and I quote) "You don't really love, do you? Are you trying to kill me?". Not a better moment... sigh

Hardboiled eggs?

. . . and if you want to make people stare, dye them like Easter eggs and people will think they're left over from Easter . . . :lol:

Do tree nuts cause the same problems for you as peanuts?

Janet!

Great suggestion. I need to try hard boiled eggs.

Thanks for that one

Lisa, I don't know if I will try to make my own - but I can say I've had a couple of Lara bars that made me question my judgement...

Ron...

I know you said you probably wouldn't make your own, but I found these and thought you might be interested... they look good and super easy...

I am really intrigued by the "formula" one...

Thanks Lisa,

I might actually give one of those a try.

I will make another post about a product we could all use. I was a skeptic, but bought one, did a batch, and PERFECT!!!! The Cuisineart Egg Cooker. A super easy way to make PERFECT hard, medium, or soft boiled eggs. I did a batch this morning and just had two. They peel super easy, and are perfectly cooked. $30, cooks 7 at a time in about 10 minutes - no mess, easy clean, I could not be more satisfied.

Now, I really would love one of those! The kid loves hard-boiled eggs... Where did you get it?

Lisa,

They are probably cheaper on Amazon - but $29.99 at Bed Bath and Beyond.

      KAN-101 Treatment for Coeliac Disease

      By Russ H · Posted

      This treatment looks promising. Its aim is to provoke immune tolerance of gluten, possibly curing the disease. It passed the phase 2 trial with flying colours, and I came across a post on Reddit by one of the study volunteers. Apparently, the results were good enough that the company is applying for fast track approval.  Anokion Announces Positive Symptom Data from its Phase 2 Trial Evaluating KAN-101 for the Treatment of Celiac Disease https://www.reddit.com/r/Celiac/comments/1krx2wh/kan_101_trial_put_on_hold/

      Gluten related ??

      By Colleen H · Posted

      Hi everyone  This has been a crazy year so far... How many people actually get entire sensory overload from gluten or something similar ?  My jaw is going nuts ..and that nerve is affecting my upper back and so on ...  Bones even hurt.  Brain fog. Etc  I had eggs seemed fine.   Then my aid cooked a chicken stir fry in the microwave because my food order shorted a couple key items .   I was so hungry but I noticed light breading and some ingredients with SOY !!! Why are we suffering with soy ? This triggered a sensitivity to bananas and gluten-free yogurt it seems like it's a cycle that it goes on.  The tiniest amount of something gets me I'm guessing the tiny bit of breading that I took one tiny nibble of ...yikes ..im cringing from it .. Feels like my stomach is going to explode yet still very hungry 😔  How long does this last?! Thank you so much

      Celiac getting dentures

      By gfmom06 · Posted

      I have had orthodontic work done. The 3M invisalign material was no problem. BUT my retainers are another matter. They seemed okay for a few months. Now, however, they cause a burning sensation on my tongue, gums and insides of my lips. The burning sensation is now spreading to my throat. I notice it when I breathe. This is annoying and interferes with my enjoyment of eating. I am visiting with my provider tomorrow. We'll see where this goes from here.
