Snack Recommendations- Gluten-Free, Dairy-Free, Corn-Free, Inflammatory Preservatives- Free Diet

This week, I want to share 5 recommendations for prepackaged snacks that I have found that fit within my gluten-free, corn-free, low-sugar (but some sugar), dairy-free, and inflammatory preservative- free diet. These recommendations come from snacks my mom helped me find and from Dr. Melvyn Grovit and Lenore Shapiro, who work with children and young adults (25 is still a young adult!) with IBD and nutrition. Just a note- this diet is more expensive than not cutting out all of these ingredients. I am very lucky I have the financial support to make all these changes and still find great food.

1: Feel Good Gyoza- chicken or vegetable

I spray these with extra-virgin olive oil, then put them in the air fryer for 5 minutes on each side. They come out super crispy, and I can then dip them in the sauce it comes with or use gluten-free soy sauce. I like these as a snack or for lunch, and have given them to friends. There is also a larger bag that can be used for wonton soup recipes. I get them at Whole Foods. It looks like you can also get them at Walmart when you Google them, but I haven't tried.

2: Tate's Gluten Free Lemon Cookies

When a main character gets broken up with in movies, they cry, eat ice cream, and watch movies. I had my main character moment with board games, friends, my parents, and these gluten-free Tate's lemon cookies. They are crispy, crunchy, lemony, and sugary in the best way. I still can't have chocolate due to my flare, but these lemon cookies are great. Bonus points because I love sweet lemon stuff. If you want to bring me food at a party that is sweet, bring these.

3: Suntropics CocoRolls- Coconut or Cinnamon

I love coconut, and these are another great sweet treat! I like to eat these because they are both sweet and crunchy. I really need my food to be crunchy; I am not a daily smoothie person. I am supposed to be drinking these weight-gaining protein shakes, but it is not going well. But I like crunchy, sweet snacks! These are a great alternative for someone who doesn't like lemon but still wants something sweet. The cinnamon flavor has less of a coconut taste than the original, but both are very coconut-forward.

4: Edward and Son's Brown Rice Snaps- vegetable and lightly salted

These crackers have both a nice flavor and a great texture. I eat them plain or with a nut butter for protein and flavor. When I want a salty snack, I grab these because they are easy to digest and are a good vessel for dips. As I dive deeper into this diet, I have been enjoying discovering dips and sauces I can still eat that are less inflammatory for my body. While nut butter is not really a dip, I can dip my cracker into it to get extra flavor.

5: Mexican Wedding Cookies

These cookies are amazing. They are sweet and sugary, but not too intense. They have multiple flavors, but these are my favorite. Because the cookies are small, I can fit them in my purse in case I need a snack while I am out running errands or with friends at places where it is hard to find food that fits my diet. Finding sweet, crunchy, chocolate-free snacks has been hard, so I am very happy I found these. Once I can start eating chocolate again, I will update again on sugary snacks that stay within my diet.
