We're hoping to get to the local Renaissance Faire this weekend but we'd be spending quite a while there. What do you recommend we do for food? trail mixy type stuff isn't going to cut it..we'll be walking around a lot and probably will be dying for food. Real good food....any thoughts? Most gluten free stuff is frozen and i'm not eating much variety at the moment and re-introducing stuff one thing at a time.

Our's has turkey legs so my daughter and I get that. I think our meal last weekend was a huge turkey leg and dill pickles. But honestly that was the only thing there we felt like we could eat. I'd pack nuts and cut up veggies I guess? Oh...there are caramel apples, but we can't do dairy or corn syrup so those are off the table for us, but perhaps okay for you?

Typically what I do is eat a huge meal before I go. We're seeing a baseball game tonight and I just ate a huge dinner (at 4pm) so I can hopefully get through the game without too much hunger. I'll pack nuts and veggies. So, that's one thing I've learned to do over the past couple of years.

Oh, and back to the Ren Fest. At our's we can leave and reenter so perhaps food in a cooler left in the car, where you can leave the fair, have a safe meal (rice and beans, or soup in a thermos...gluten free sandwich) and then re-enter.

When I've gone in the past, I've eaten the fruit (served usually in half a cantaloupe) as well as the frozen desserts (again, fruit-based ones).

I used to go to King Richard's Faire on Cape Cod. I LOVED it! We went every year. The jousting matches were my favorite part. ("KILL, KILL, HATE, HATE, MURDER, MURDER, MUTILATE!!")

But they would not let anyone bring in food from outside at all. I don't know if they've changed their policy though. It's been years since I've been.

I throw in a tote bag things like tuna & crackers or cheese, nuts, fruit or even a sandwich. I have a small thermos (snack size) that is good for (very mild for me!) chili or other warm food. I also have a leter from my doctor that states I have celiac and must eat gluten-free in case I am ever stopped but have only needed it once.

      Build muscle back feeling weak?

      By Rogol72 · Posted

      I put on over 12kg by eating protein with every meal, 3 to 5 times a day. Eggs, Chicken, Tuna, Turkey etc. I stay away from too much red meat as it can be inflammatory. Scott is correct. I've come across a bunch of Coeliac PT's on Tiktok and Instagram. They all say the same thing, the key is getting enough protein and consistency.

      Build muscle back feeling weak?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It's great to hear that eliminating gluten has helped alleviate symptoms like eye burning, which is a significant and positive change. The first and most important step is to ensure you're consuming enough protein throughout the day to support muscle repair and growth, which can be challenging with a busy schedule. Since you're already physically active at work, adding focused strength training just 2-3 times per week can make a major difference. Bodyweight exercises like squats, push-ups (modified if needed), and lunges, or using resistance bands at home, are excellent, efficient places to start. Remember, consistency with these short sessions and prioritizing post-workout recovery, including good sleep and hydration, are just as crucial as the workouts themselves. It's a smart, gradual process at any age.

      suggest gluten free food

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Trader Joe's carries a good variety of affordable gluten-free foods like bagels, hamburger buns, pasta, etc. I like Franz Gluten Free bread, which is available at my local Costco. Food For Life and Little Northern Bakehouse (advertisers here) also make excellent gluten-free breads. Costco also sells gluten-free pizzas, crackers, gravy, etc.
