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.

      Outgrow celiac?

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Testing can't alone be trusted.  Else why would it take so many years of testing and retesting and misdiagnosis to finally be told, yes you have Celiac Disease. As to what to eat, I like pre 1950 style food.  Before the advent of TV dinners.  Fresh food is better for you, and cooking from scratch is cheaper.  Watch Rachel Ray's 30 Minute Meals for how to cook.  Keep in mind that she is not gluten free, but her techniques are awesome.  Just use something else instead of wheat, barley, rye. Dr Fuhrman is a ex cardiologist.  His book Eat to Live and Dr Davis' book Wheatbelly were instrumental in my survival.

      Celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis has taken Me from Me

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      If you have DH you will likely also want to avoid iodine, which is common in seafoods and dairy products, as it can exacerbate symptoms in some people. This article may also be helpful as it offers various ways to relieve the itch--thanks for the tip about Dupixent, and I've added it to the article:

      I just want to clarify that what I posted is a category of research summaries we've done over the years, and nearly each one shows that there is definitely a connection to celiac disease and migraine headaches. The latest study said: "the study did indicate some potential causal associations between celiac disease and migraine with or without aura, as well as between migraine without aura and ulcerative colitis...this study did not find evidence of a shared genetic basis..." Anyway, there is definitely a connection, and you can go through more of the articles here if you're interested: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/celiac-disease-amp-related-diseases-and-disorders/migraine-headaches-and-celiac-disease/

      Celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis has taken Me from Me

      By SusanJ · Posted

      Two months ago, I started taking Dupixent for dermatitis herpetiformis and it has completely cleared it up. I can't believe it! I have had a terrible painful, intensely itchy rash for over a year despite going fully gluten-free. See if your doctor will prescribe Dupixent. It can be expensive but I am getting it free. When the dermatitis herpetiformis was bad I could not do anything. I just lay in bed covered in ice packs to ease the pain/itching and using way too Clobetasol. Dapsone is also very good for dermatitis herpetiformis (and it is generic). It helped me and the results were immediate but it gave me severe anemia so the Dupixent is better for me. Not sure if it works for everyone. I cannot help with the cause of your stress but from experience I am sure the severe stress is making the celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis worse. Very difficult for you with having children to care for and you being so sick. Would this man be willing to see a family therapist with you? He may be angry at you or imagine that your illness is a psychosomatic excuse not to take care of him. A therapist might help even if he won't go with you. Also do you have any family that you could move in with (with the kids) for a short time to get away? A break may be good for you both.

      @tiffanygosci, Thiamine deficiency is a thing in pregnancy for "normal" people, so it's exponentially more important for those with celiac disease and malabsorption issues. I studied nutrition before earning a degree in Microbiology because I was curious what the vitamins were doing inside the body.  See my blog.  Click on my name to go to my page, scroll to drop down menu "activities" and select blog.   So glad you're motivated to see the dietician!  We're always happy to help with questions.  Keep us posted on your progress!
