gluten-free Survival Kit For Vehicle


BlessedMommy

Recommended Posts

BlessedMommy Rising Star

I'm seriously thinking of making a gluten free survival kit to keep in my van. It would be just the thing for when I'm short on time when on the road or run into a situation where there's no gluten-free food available.

 

Has anybody done something like this?

 

Any thoughts or ideas on good non perishable gluten-free foods to keep on hand? I was thinking dried fruit, nuts, vegetarian jerky (there is a soy based vegetarian brand that's gluten-free), canned fruit, etc.

I keep options in my daily go bag and then extras in each of our vehicles stored in our emergency go bags that are stowed outta the way with the spare.

 

vacuum sealed nuts and those squeezable baby foods that we call "astronaut food" cuz we are not babies are in all my kits...extra gluten-free protein bars and homemade dried fruit & jerky (again vacuum sealed) in the emergency kits as there are a few of us that may need something in an emergency situation.

If I am going to need more than just the snacks I keep in my purse at all times, I focus on protein like nuts and jerky, they keep you filled up longer.  I like the squeezy fruit stuff, too.

I keep Lays potato chips, crackers, small can of Bush's baked beans, tuna, protein bars, juice, and an oatmeal breakfast by Vigilante Eats.  They are expensive, but very filling, and all you need to do is add water (either hot or cold) for a very filling meal.

I keep crackers and protein bars in my car. And it has definitely come in handy at times!

      Yes.  Now, if you hit your finger with a hammer once, wouldn't you do your best not to do it again?  You have identified a direct connection between gluten and pain.  Gluten is your hammer.  Now you have to decide if you need a medical diagnosis.  Some countries have aid benefits tgat you can get if you have the diagnosis, but you must continue eating a gluten-normal diet while pursuing the diagnosis. Otherwise the only reason to continue eating gluten is social. There are over 200 symptoms that could be a result of celiac disease.. Celiac Disease and Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity  both cause multiple vitamin and mineral deficiency.  Dealing with that should help your recovery, even while eating gluten.  Phosphatidyl Choline supplements can help your gut if digesting fats is a problem,  Consider that any medications you take could be causing some of the symptoms, aside from gluten.

      Welcome to the forum, @Ben98! If you have been consciously or unconsciously avoiding gluten because of the discomfort it produces then it is likely that your blood antibody testing for celiac disease has been rendered invalid. Valid testing requires regular consumption of generous amounts of gluten. The other strong possibility is that you have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) which shares many of the same symptoms with celiac disease but does not have the autoimmune component and thus does not damage the small bowel lining. It is 10x mor common than celiac disease. There is currently no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out. Some experts in the field believe it can be a precursor to the development of celiac disease. Having one or both of the primary genes for developing celiac disease does not imply that you will develop active celiac disease. It simply establishes the potential for it. About 40% of the population has the genetic potential but only about 1% develop active celiac disease.

      TTG blood test and total IGA tested on many occasions which have always remained normal, upper GI pain under my ribs since 2022. I had an endoscopy in 2023 which showed moderate gastritis. no biopsy’s were taken unfortunately. genetic test was positive for HLADQ2. extreme bloating after eating gluten, it’ll feel like I’ve got bricks in my stomach so uncomfortably full. the pain is like a dull ache under the upper left almost like a stitch feeling after a long walk. I am just wanting some advice has anyone here experienced gastritis with a gluten issue before? thank you

      "Conclusions: The urinary iodine level was significantly lower in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis, and iodine replacement may be important in preventing osteoporosis"  Body iodine status in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis Low iodine can cause thyroid problems, but Iodine deficiency will not show up in thyroid tests.  Iodine is important for healing, its job is to kill off defective and aging cells (Apoptosis). Skin, brain fog, nails, muscle tone all inproved when I started taking 600 mcg (RDA 150 - 1000 mcg) of Liquid Iodine drops. Some with dermatitis herpetiformis, Iodine exacerbates the rash.  I started at 1 drop (50 mcg) and worked up to 12 drops, but I don't have dermatitis herpetiformis.
