What Kind Of Food

I'm going to a wedding in a couple of weeks. I've seen people mention that they bring their own food; what kind of things do you bring when you won't have access to a microwave or refrigerator?

Sorry for the clueless question, but we have a nice little break room at work so I can pack my gluten-free lunches and then heat them up.

When I go out for a dinner, I usually eat ahead of time and then take a snack to eat with the meal. Veggies, chips, snack bar, and I usually eat salad at the event too...depending on the event/location you decide how/what you want to take. To my boss's house for dinner, I wouldn't take a bag of chips, however, an family event that was not too dressy, anything goes. I have even made a small sandwhich to eat (you can cut it up on a plate so it doesn't look too tacky).

For the most part though, many, not all, know about my food issues and I am not affraid that I will offend someone. If they are offended that I won't eat their food to keep from getting sick then they aren't the type of people I need to hang out with...

I'm not worried about offending anyone; I'm worried about being out all day with nothing to eat! :)

Put a cooler in your car and keep a bag of snacks. If you can't get to the car between events, then carry a larger purse/bag to keep with you.

I have the same issues - I take tons of food with me everywhere we go, just in case we are out longer than expected. You should see me prepare for a couple of hours on the lake! you would think we were going for the weekend!!!

Fresh fruit/veggies that can stand a few hours not being in the fridge.

Rice cakes/baked goods/dried fruit for some carbs.

Food bar (like a Larabar) or nuts for fat/protein.

Have you considered other options besides 'brown bagging it' to the wedding? You didn't mention who it was that is getting married... but I know when my older cousin got married last summer, she gave my mom and I the number of the woman in charge of the reception, and my mom and I arranged for a dinner that we could both safely eat--- and neither of us had a reaction. You may feel more comfortable bringing your own food, but I just thought I'd throw that out there.

      Toddler Diagnosis?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Your son has two positive blood tests for celiac disease, plus a positive biopsy for it...why hasn't your doctor diagnosed him with celiac disease, which is the most likely diagnosis based on the test results you shared? The next step should be a gluten-free diet, which your doctor already recommended.

      I am glad to hear you are not taking acid blocking meds as they increase gut PH which inhibits mineral absorption which, in turn, often causes the body to rob it's own bones of the calcium it needs for various metabolic processes. I was asking about that because acid reflux is very common in the celiac community.

      I am not taking anything except for the multivitamins that I purchased from the supermarket.

      This is what my Cardiologist prescribed for my weight.  My husband is prescribed 10,000 units.  When I say prescribed I do not mean a prescription is needed, just that the 2 respective dosages are what he ordered according to our size/weight.  My cardiologist is accepted as one of Houston's leading cardiologists.
