Take Away Snack Shopping for C 5/6 Day

avatar
(Edited)

( EN / DE ) To be prepared for today, yesterday I went to buy my favorite snack for this Friday.
Um für heute vorbereitet zu sein bin ich gestern losgezogen um meine bewährte Lieblings Jause (=Brotzeit auf gut alt Österreichisch) für diesen Freitag zu kaufen.


"Semmel"


"Kornspitz"


"Schinken"


"Banane"


Jaffa Cake

This snack isn't really what was recommended to me (low/no sugar and low/no meat) but it's something I totally enjoy eating on the go and for that I make sure to cut down on gluten and sugar especially the days before and after the chemo appointment.
Diese Jause entspricht nicht wirklich dem, was mir empohlen wurde (wenig/kein Zucker und wenig/kein Fleisch) aber es ist etwas, das ich unterwegs total gerne esse und dafür achte ich vor allem die Tage vor und nach dem Chemo Termin darauf, Gluten und Zucker zu reduzieren.

Another of the general dietary recommendations during this time was to switch to lactose-free products to make it easier for digestion to function well.
Now, however, I noticed again yesterday how poorly these products are labeled. Although the text "Lactose-free" is now mostly already written larger recognizable.
And I remembered photos I had taken in another supermarket chain a few weeks ago! This is SO brilliantly solved by Milfina, at first glance you can see the lactose-free products on the shelf:
Eine der allgemeinen Empfehlungen zur Ernährung in dieser Zeit war, auf laktosefreie Produkte umzustellen, um es der Verdauung leichter zu macht, gut zu funktionieren.
Nun fiel mir gestern allerdings wieder auf, wie schlecht diese Produkte gekennzeichnet sind. Obwohl der Text "Laktosefrei" jetzt zumeist schon grösser geschrieben erkennbar ist.
Und mir fielen Fotos ein, die ich in einer anderen Supermarkt Kette vor ein paar Wochen gemacht hatte! Das ist von Milfina SO genial gelöst, auf den ersten Blick erkennt man die laktosefreien Produkte im Regal:

Here you see, even if only one of the products is still there and hidden at the very back, you still recognize it at first sight!
Hier seht, sogar wenn nur noch eines der Produkte da ist und ganz hinten versteckt, erkennt man es dennoch auf den ersten Blick!

How is it in your country, are there so many lactose-free products to buy at all and if so, or is it more of a Middle European / Austrian thing going on?
Wie ist das in eurem Land, gibt es überhaupt und wenn ja, so viele laktosefreie Produkte zu kaufen, oder ist das eher so eine MItteleurpäische / Österreichische Geschichte, die da läuft?

In the morning, I have then topped the roll and the Kornzspitz, also still Roiboostee, water, banana and the Jaffa cookies packed. It is always quite different, but sometimes I get really hungry during therapy, so better have more with me.
In der Früh habe ich mir dann die Semmel und den Kornzspitz belegt, auch noch Roiboostee, Wasser, Banane und die Jaffa Kekse eingepackt. Es ist immer ganz unterschiedlich, aber manchmal bekomme ich während der Therapie so richtig Hunger, also lieber mehr mit haben.

That's it for now, it's been a long day and about the therapy itself, I'm fine, but there were some surprising changes today that I have to let sink in myself and rethink before I'll probably write about them.
Das wars erst mal soweit, es war ein langer Tag und zur Therapie selbst, es geht mir gut, es gab aber heute einige überraschende Änderungen, die ich erst mal selbst sacken lassen muss bevor ich wahrscheinlich darüber schreiben werde.

And I also bought "Gummibärli", but not for the chemo day, but for keeping me fit wirting my posts in the evening ;-) dont worry be happy :-) Yours, B

These prices are not nearly as high as here, I think, I must look into it, because here these items are more expensive... bananas were 1.29, now they've gone up to 1.99

This would be interesting although I wasnt a big friend of AI by now
Was thinking about where in Europe to buy Winter heating Wood.
You know theyt tell ud always the prices rise because of energy costs, so how can it be that that Austrian official Woods company has giant win increae?

In fact, this is not so good idea, because chatGPT has only indexed data up to 2021 ... it could probably write a program to do something like that, but to send it to my mail or website I'd probably need to ask some other AI ...

I once asked for books and the result wasnt that good. As everywhere on web they only show those books they want to promote
Wish Back the old web days where you simply got informations without marketing and censoring

Haribo bear sweets 🤩 I love those gummies, but I recognise that the rest of your shopping is healthier. 🙂

There's plenty of lactose free milk, margarine, yogurts, cream cheese and cream in my grocery store, not so much hard cheese though, that I've noticed. Though that might be because they hardly have any hard cheese at all, we have to go elsewhere for that. And I think I have read somewhere that aged hard cheese hardly contain any lactose anyway, so maybe they don't bother to label it as such? Gluten free stuff I'm not sure of, I haven't really looked. I mostly eat rice, sometimes potatoes or pasta, very rarely bread, so I don't have to worry too much about it. I seem to recall there being shelf upon shelf of gluten free breads, cookies, breakfast cereals and pasta in the larger grocery store.

We do have the yummy gummy bears though! 😋

Yes I also read that most cheese, especially the traditional ones with long riping time have almost no lactose.
I think the Label "lactosefree" can only be used for those who normally have it inside?
Also making yoghurt for your own and let it ripe 24h should bring it near to zero, this is written in GAPS diet books.

I never liked the glutenfree breads and cookies that much because the ingredients list sometimes is very strange.

Hehe the gummi bears are the all loved stars in this post it seems !LUV

You do have a lot of lactose free products. I have to go to a health food store to get some products. However I can find oatmilk in the supermarket but not a lot of variety.

It all looks yummy! I think that is a great idea to take some nice snacks so you don't get sick or nauseous while you are in for the treatment. They will all save well. It sounds like it went well today, but, now I will have to be on the lookout for your news.

I love those little gummi bears, I discovered them when I lived in Germany and then found out we had them in the US when I moved back. Not just any, both that brand! Is there really any other? It's funny because I brought bags and bags of them back, like a starving child. :)

As for the lactose-free products, it depends on the store. Some go as far as putting them all in one aisle and others just separate them from the regular products in the same area. They are well marked now, which is a bonus, but sometimes need to be identified easier. This is the same for gluten-free and all the others. I am glad you are able to locate some.

Having therapy days is much like going on a major trip with the essential preparations, isn't it? It is those simple, yet many tasks that make the day a little bit easier, if that can be possible. Just know I will be thinking of you and hoping that everything coming down the road will blossom into sunshine and rainbows. ❣️

Thank you for taking us with you, and allowing us to be part of your life. xoxo !LUV

#MarketFriday began as a way to reach out across the globe and learn about different cultures through their markets, especially local markets and farmers' markets, and eventually branched out and evolved over time from straight shopping to a cultural affair as it highlights how we differ and then again, how much we are alike. We have become a melting pot of culture, but it is still the Rituals, Festivals, food, architecture, and even your language/languages that separate us... Along with the fact that these things are normal for us. There are unwritten rules that rule our social behaviors. I see this as allowing for increased tolerance between cultures and nations, and opportunities to come together on an even playing ground. A strong culture can be beneficial to a country as it promotes unity, especially during a crisis, peaceful debate, and open dialogue. I have learned so much about all of you and it has been an amazing experience. I can only hope that learning about each other can help us work together for a peaceful world.

Thank you for being a part of #MarketFriday

There are healthy Gummi Bärli variations available, but they cannot comopare with the original brand.

Yea thats true, a little routine, kind of ritual packing a bag for those days (food, tea, water, book, something to write,...) Is indeed very helpful.

Thank you for the sunshine and rainbows ❤️❤️❤️
