Trail foods for coeliac sufferers (ie, no wheat or oats)

Northwind

This is a bit of a pain... I was diagnosed with coeliac disease a while back, so I'm on a complete exclusion of wheat and oats. (I might be allowed oats later, but not for a year or so if ever).So, obviously most of the popular trail foods, flapjacks, energy bars etc, are out the window. Oh, and I absolutely hate all nuts, I know that's being awkward but they're horrible

So, any suggestions for alternatives? Bananas, obviously (even got me a Bananaguard!) but they're quite bulky. I've found a tesco's Free From breakfast bar which is just fruit and... whatever it is they make gluten free bread out of, sawdust I think. Not too bad... Anyone else out there in the same boat who can suggest something better?

Dried apricots?

Jelly babies for instant energy. Dried fruits another good option.

Rice cakes? Soy products?

dried banana pieces have lots of carbs

I think I'd choose a non-dried banana over a dried one most of the time Thanks for the suggestions folks, I've not eaten apricots for years, that's a good one. Pure sugar is easy enough, it's the slightly slower stuff that's a wee bit troublesome.

Should have bought more than one Bananaguard :roll:

Hi Northwind - I have a similar problem. Pure sugar is ok but can produce a very fast high then low. I generally find Sainsbury's and Waitrose good for gluten free stuff but it comes at a price. Me I generally stick to fruit, chooclate and crisps obviously check they gluten and wheat free as I'm sure you know wheat is in alot of things.
