Hi all -

I am a big baseball fan and go to a lot of games. In the good old days, I would bring sandwiches and chips for dinner instead of buying the ridiculosly over priced ballpark food. Last year, I made salads, but felt like such a princess with the plate or whatever in my lap eating with a fork. I am usually good at subsituting but I am stummped can't think of anything! I have a tiny cooler so can keep something cool, but not hot, really. And I also discoved that there isn't exactly an abundance of gluten-free food in ballparks even I did want to empty my wallet. Help?

Thanks!

Cracker Jack's are gluten-free! I keep them around for snacking all the time. Appropriate choice, I would think. :)

Well, I know that Minute Maid Park in Houston won't let you bring your own food or drink in.... but I don't know about other parks. I know at Minute Maid, on the club level, there is a salad bar, and a saute/stir fry station where they would probably be happy to wash the saute pan and utensils before your additions. Other than that, I am stumped. I guess I need to eat in advance at this weekend's game I am attending. I may be eating a salad and cracker jacks!

You can get a really big fanny pack (my kids call mine the Fanny Pack 3000) to smuggle in food if necessary, and I have a letter from my doctor on a prescription slip stating that I need a special diet, just in case the food nazis give me a hard time at a place like that. EMS carries some good size packs. Mine has enough pockets for a little can of tuna, a few snack bars, a bag of baby carrots, plastic cutlery, gluten-free crackers - everything but the drink, with a pocket left over for the wallet, cellphone, etc. I don't even trust the popcorn at a ballpark, so I bring in all my own food. I have noticed, however, that a Kraft cheese stick will melt a little if you keep it in your fanny pack on a 90 degree day :P , so your little cooler might be a good idea if allowed....

I bring a thermos of refried beans, very high calorie, and good tasting.

Hey thanks - real gooc ideas - especially the thermos one, even for a Giants fan :D

Petco park in San Diego allows all food in a small bag or cooler (they make you cut up fruit so you can't throw it). They even allow small un-opened water bottles.

Thanks for the idea's, maybe not as hearty as a Subway sandwich, but works for me!

I like to make Pamela's Amazing Bread into rolls. I take a roast and put into the crockpot the night before on low. I slice the roast really thin and put it on the rolls. You could also use gluten-free sandwich meats etc. You could even get Kinnikinnick bread to make these.

I usually pop our own popcorn because of dairy and put it in a zip lock bag.

You could take gluten-free hot dogs or corn dogs in a warming thermos. I haven't tried these but some people like Ian's Allergen Free Chicken Nuggets. You could heat these in the morning and put them in your cooler. You could bring gluten-free mustard or a dipping sauce if you want.

Tonight I made fajitas with gluten-free Corn Tortillias, stir fried beef, onions, and peppers. These would be good wrapped up in foil and put in a cooler.

Larabars or other gluten-free snack bars.

Nuts are always a great snack if you're not allergic.

For my daughter's snacks at ball games I make a tuna dip. I combine a can of tuna, not drained, and 8 OZ of cream cheese and some seasoned salt. Use Fritos scoops to dip with. This is her substitute for a sandwich.

Last year i generally brought trail mix to the games (and a lot of it!!) Nuts are filling and satiating and VERY easy to bring along. Also, most of the soft serve at ballparks ive been to is gluten-free, so thats a nice snack alternative. Last night i went to a game and got peanuts...mmm....Also you could bring along carrots or berries or something healthy like that, yogurt, string cheese, Clif Nectar bars, rice cakes w/ peanut butter...i tend to bring several smaller foods rather than one big one (like sandwiches)

I always load up on sunflower seeds. I can go through a bag of David's in a ballgame if I'm not careful.

I also like peanuts.

      Bitters for digestion?

      This sounds to me like histamine intolerance. Some foods have more or less histamine. processed or aged meats, fermented food like yoghurt or kimchi and bread (yeast), spinach, eggplant and mushroom are high in histamine. Other foods like tomatoes are histamine liberators, they encourage your mast cells to release histamine, which can also trigger the reactions...

      Why Bananas No Longer Cure Celiac Disease

      I missed this article when it was first put up. It is interesting to read, as my old neighbour who sadly passed away a few years ago was a trainee midwife during WWII. Bananas disappeared from the shops in Britain during the war, but she told me that those that did get to the UK were kept back for infants with coeliac disease. I didn't realise that...

      @GeoPeanut, milk is one of the better sources of iodine. Iodine is known to exacerbate dermatitis herpetiformis. Many people find that a low iodine diet helps them avoid dermatitis herpetiformis outbreaks. So, maybe the fact that you have limited your dairy intake of late is helping with that.

      Hi, I'm new here. Sorry for your troubles.herenis a thought to mull over. I recently was diagnosed with celiac disease, and hashimoto's and dermatitis herpetiformis after getting covid 19. I eat butter, and 1/2 cup of Nancy's yogurt daily. I stopped all other dairy and dermatitis herpetiformis is gone! I also make grass fed beef bone broth to help with...

      Celiac or Addison's complications? Can someone share their experience?

      Welcome to the forum, @KRipple! Sorry to hear of all your husband's health problems. I can only imagine how anxious this makes you as when our spouse suffers we hurt right along with them. Can you post the results from the Celiac blood testing for us to look at? We would need the names of the tests run, the numeric results and (this is important...

      This sounds to me like histamine intolerance. Some foods have more or less histamine. processed or aged meats, fermented food like yoghurt or kimchi and bread (yeast), spinach, eggplant and mushroom are high in histamine. Other foods like tomatoes are histamine liberators, they encourage your mast cells to release histamine, which can also trigger the reactions you describe, flu like symptoms, joint pain, urinary tract irritation, rash, stomach upset, nausea, diarrhoea & fatigue. I had liver pain like you describe, as part of the intolerance is usually a sluggish liver that makes processing all the histamine difficult. There are multiple possible root causes of histamine intolerance, usually it’s a symptom of something else. In my case, leaky gut (damaged gut wall)caused by undiagnosed celiac, but for others it’s leaky gut caused by other things like dysbiosis. Some people also experience histamine intolerance due to mould exposure or low levels of DAO (the enzyme that breaks down histamine in the gut). I’d try a low histamine diet & if that doesn’t improve symptoms fully, try low oxalate too. As others have suggested, supplements like vitamin d, b, l-glutamine to support a healthy gut & a good liver support supplement too. If you’re in a histamine flare take vitamin c to bowel tolerance & your symptoms will calm down (avoid if you find you have oxalate intolerance though). Best of luck

      Welcome to the forum, @KRipple! Sorry to hear of all your husband's health problems. I can only imagine how anxious this makes you as when our spouse suffers we hurt right along with them. Can you post the results from the Celiac blood testing for us to look at? We would need the names of the tests run, the numeric results and (this is important) the reference ranges for each test used to establish high/low/negative/positive. Different labs use different rating scales so this is why I ask for this. There aren't industry standards. Has your husband seen any improvement from eliminating gluten from his diet? If your husband had any positive results from his celiac blood antibody testing, this is likely what triggered the consult with a  GI doc for an endoscopy. During the endoscopy, the GI doc will likely biopsy the lining of the small bowel lining to check for the damage caused by celiac disease. This would be for confirmation of the results of the blood tests and is considered the gold standard of celiac disease diagnosis. But here is some difficult information I have for you. If your husband has been gluten free already for months leading up to the endoscopy/biopsy, it will likely invalidate the biopsy and result in a false negative. Starting the gluten free diet now will allow the lining of the small bowel to begin healing and if enough healing takes place before the biopsy happens, there will be no damage to see. How far out is the endoscopy scheduled for? There still may be time for your husband to go back on gluten, what we call a "gluten challenge" to ensure valid test results.

      Are they close to a drug that will help celiacs with cross contamination

      By kate g · Posted

      Ive read articles that there is stage 2 research being conducted for drugs that will limit damage to celiacs through cross contamination- how close are they to this will there be enough funding to create a mainstream drug?
