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!

      So far 3 months in - worsening symptoms. I have had the worst constipation in my life and I am primarily eating naturally gluten-free foods like potatoes, eggs, salad with homemade dressing, corn tortillas, etc. I hate gluten-free bread and pasta so I don't eat it. Occasionally I eat gluten-free almond flour crackers. As stated in the post, I don't have any vitamin deficiency. I was already tested.

      Talk to your  Talk to your provider about testing for vitamin and mineral deficiency.  celiac disease causes malabsorption and eventually malnutrition.  Especially vitamin D. Having the gallbladder removed seems to be a common step on the way to a Celiac Disease Diagnosis,  Gallbladder is a sympton of deficient Choline. Eggs and red meat are the primary source..Choline makes up a majority of the bile salts.  The bile gets thick, doesn't get enough into intestine to digest fats well.  Can eventually back up into gallbladder, cause gallstones.  Without bile, bowel movements can become hard. Try to avoid all processed foods while you are healing, The gluten-free foods are not fortified with vitamins and use various ingredients to mimic fat that bothers many Celiacs.  Choose vegatables with low omega 6.  Optimum omega 6 to omega 3 ratio is less than 3:1.  Wheat flour is 22:1.  Grass fed milk is 1:1.   Commercial Dairies milk is 5:1.  They feed wheat, rye and barley Gluten as part of the food mix.

      Your DGP-G is also high. The thing to do now would be to trial the gluten-free diet for a few months to see if there is improvement in symptoms.
