I have reactive hypoglycemia and my nutrionist said to eat every 2-3 hours and make sure I have at least 7g of protein with each meal. Here are a few obstacles I have though. I'm lactose intolerant, so I can't eat dairy or whey protein (I've tried the lactaid pills and they don't work well). Cheese doesn't bother me as much, but milk, yogurt, ice cream and cottage cheese do a number on my stomach. Second problem is I'm hypothyroid with Hashimoto's, so I need to avoid soy.

I mainly need ideas for portable snacks I can put in my purse or eat at work. I panic if I don't have food with me at all times. Right now I'm down to almonds, hard boiled eggs and string cheese. I've also been drinking the Boost Glucose control drinks. I'm also trying to avoid peanuts and peanut butter because they're also bad for the thyroid and I feel bad after eating them. I'm on a budget too, so I can't really afford the more expensive nut butters.
