Gluten Free On The Go? No Rehet, Walk N Eat

Hi all. This is my first post here and I'm hoping you can help me. I have an 8 year old daughter who was diagnosed as non celiac gluten intolerant a year ago. She luckily has no other limitations to her diet and feels much better living gluten-free. We are going on a camping trip in a few days and will be visiting a local amusement park on the last day of our trip. I need a meal we can make in the morning and pack to eat while walking around the park. Eating there makes me a bit uneasy, but I can't reheat anything, and there aren't many places to sit with more than just a bench. I also don't have access to a whole lot of specialty gluten-free ingredients here like wraps or a decent bread. Any ideas on a brown bag type lunch option?

Nuts, crackers, fruit, seed trail mixes, Skittles, string cheese ( depends on how long and how hot - cheese is usually fine for a few hours out of the cooler), packets of PB, Gopicnic boxes.

Have you checked that they will let you bring food in? Some places are pretty bad about that. Some places have lockers at the front of the park and you can leave a small cooler or insulated lunch bag in them.

Even if you don't get one of these, look at what is in them for some ideas.

Freeze some grapes and use the grapes as your "ice", bring in some lunch meat, fresh veges and a dip, any sweet treat she likes, etc.  Get a well insulated cooler bag and keep in a locker or something out of the sun until it's time to eat.

You can also call park services and see if they have gluten-free options.

      Type 1 diabetes (4year old) and positieve ttg

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @marinke! "Type 1a diabetes (DM1) is associated with an increased risk of celiac disease (celiac disease) (1)." from: https://diabetesjournals.org/care/article/35/10/2083/38503/IgA-Anti-transglutaminase-Autoantibodies-at-Type-1 "The prevalence of celiac disease (celiac disease) in children with type 1 diabetes (T1D) is 5.1%, and it is often asymptomatic (1)." from: https://diabetesjournals.org/care/article/48/2/e13/157637/Diagnostic-Outcomes-of-Elevated-Transglutaminase So, this is 5x the rate found in the general population.

      Long term recovery

      By Mari · Posted

      Hi James47, You are less than 2 years into your recovery from Celiacs.  Tell us more about the problems you are having. Do you just want to get rid of belly fat or are you still having symptoms like gas and bloating.    For symptoms you may need to change your diet and take various supplements that you cannot adsorb from the foods you eat because of the damage caused by the autoimmune reaction in your small intestine.

      Type 1 diabetes (4year old) and positieve ttg

      By marinke · Posted

      My daughter (4 years old) has type 1 diabetes since she was 1. Therefore, every year a screening is done. We live in the Netherlands. Every year the screening was fine. This year here ttg is positive, 14, >7 is positive. IGA was in range. Could the diabetes cause this positive result? Or the fact that she was sick the weeks before the brood test?

      Shortness Of Breath (the "sighs")?

      @DayaInTheSun what were the shortness of breath symptoms for you ? And did they come on all of a sudden or was it a gradual increase in said symptoms?

      Shortness Of Breath (the "sighs")?

      By DayaInTheSun · Posted

      I had shortness of breath so much so I went to a lung doctor. I told him I get short of breath wirh certain foods, he said “Food doesn’t affect hour breathing.” I told him maybe it was an allergy  he cut me off then said “Food allergies don’t cause shortness of breathe.” I beg to differ as soon as I figured out what foods were causing my shortness of breath it went away. I also never saw him again as he was rude, condescending? And refuse to listen to me kept dismissing my problems as “you’re young.” I cut out Soy, dairy, sesame, eggs, and of course gluten. I stopped being short of breath, going on a two years now. No thanks to the doctor I saw. Figured it out on my own.
