Bus Trip...need Help!

Hey guys...i'm new to this forum thing...but i'm in need of help and thought, hey! Why not! I'm 16 years old and just got diagnosed with celiac after thanksgiving. I've adjusted to the diet quite well (having never been much of a bread or pasta eater anyway)...but I've found myself stuck.

My church highschool youth group goes on a winter retreat every year up in the adorondak mountains in NY. It's a 6 hour busride...which is usually cool cuz we stop at a rest stop and all have burger king or dunkin donuts or w/e is there for lunch. You starting to see my problem? I'm going to bring various gluten free snacks w/ me on the bus (i just found out that all LAYS STAX products are gluten free AND made on gluten free equipment :D ) but my mom still wants me to pack a cold lunch. Any suggestions? I've got all my other meals planned out and ready to bring, but its just the bus lunches i'm havin trouble with.

Please respond soon!!!! I'm leaving this friday!!!

I have had to deal with this type of thing in the U.S. and on my study abroad in Europe. You could take a cold lunch but there is no need. I always take self-contained snacks and fruit. Make sure you have plenty for both ways and that you eat well during the trip, though.

I've had that problem on a week-long trip...I've found that ham or turkey cold cuts are okay (if they don't have modified food starch), and another choice is cooking something gluten-free beforehand and packing it for later.

      gluten-free and continued upper left side pain after drinking wine

      By Raquel2021 · Posted

      Yes stress can .make the pain worse. That being said it is taking years for my body to heal. I am not able to eat out as 98 % of restaurants do not know how to cook for celiacs.  I only eat out on special occasions. Any time I eat gluten I feel there is a tourch going through my digestive system specifically in the area you have mentioned.  Like where the deudenal is . I am very sensitive to cross contamination so any small amount of gluten makes me sick.

      Gluten free diet - are these symptoms normal?

      By trents · Posted

      @Ems10, celiac diagnosis normally involves two steps. The first one is serum antibody testing which you may have already have had done and are waiting on the results. The second step involves and endoscopy (aka, gastroscopy) with biopsy of the small bowel lining. This second step is typically ordered if one or more antibody tests were positive, is a confirmation of the serum antibody testing and is considered the gold standard diagnostic test for celiac disease. Now hear this, you should not be eating gluten free weeks or months in advance of either kind of testing. Prematurely going on a gluten free diet can and will sabotage the results of the endoscopy/biopsy should you get a referral to a GI doc who would want to do that. Eliminating gluten from the diet causes causes inflammation to subside which allows the small bowel ling to heal such that the damage they would be looking for is no longer there.

      Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS.

      It might make sense for you to find out if they've run a celiac disease test on you, and if not, consider planning for it.

      Thanks for your reply! I’m really not too sure, the doctor just took a few tubes of blood & that’s all I know 🥹
