Gluten Free Backpacking Meals

My daughter and I will be going to the BSA High Adventure Philmont Ranch this summer in New Mexico.  We will be on the trail for 9 days and need to provide our own substitutes for gluten free meals.  I have never tried to back gluten free for this long of a period.  I am interested in learning what others do in this case.  We will be on a Cavalcade or horseback.  The Philmont staff will deliver anything we bring with us in the periodic restocks they give us for meals during the trek.  Our trip is in 2 months.  Thank you so much in advance,

This is all new to me, also, but I hope I can help a little bit.  I'll be traveling soon within the US, but I want to avoid restaurants and getting sick.  While at Target today, I made two great discoveries - Justin's individual servings of almond and peanut butter and GoPicnic meals.  Each meal contains about 350 calories.  They are similar to a Lunchable. I bought three different ones to try.  The Justin's almond butter/maple syrup was very good and cost $1.19 each.  The GoPicnics are 2 for $7.  Both products had great reviews on Amazon.com.

There are some gluten-free freeze dried backpacker meals. The kind you add hot water to. If they are bringing it to you every day, you could do things like canned tuna, instant rice, etc.

I just thought of something else.  If you like oatmeal, try Vigilante Eats chocolate oatmeal in a cup.  Add l/2 c. water and it's ready.  I ordered a box from Amazon.  The reviews are mixed, but I really like it.

Beef  jerky, crackers,  seeds & nuts  , there are  many gluten-free  freezer dried  meals   from  various  vendors...  Dried  fruit,   protein bars all make  good  snacks  or light  lunches.... we  really  like  many of the  freeze dried  breakfast  , & dinner  meals....If  there  is a  ranch hand  cooking  meals  perhaps  they  can  do  meats  plain for you?  bacon, eggs  safe...

Regular peanut butter (check to make sure it's gluten free - many but not all brands are), gluten-free pasta (sam mills is cheap, and the string pasta is incredibly space efficient), maybe some premade sandwhiches or just bread.

 

Backpacking shouldn't be too much harder than usual, I've done several week long trips.

      Unusual bright yellow but odourless discharge

      Yes, I, too, have osteoporosis from years of malabsorption, too.  Thiamine and magnesium are what keep the calcium in place in the bones.  If one is low in magnesium, boron, selenium, zinc, copper, and other trace minerals, ones bone heath can suffer.  We need more than just calcium and Vitamin D for strong bones.  Riboflavin B 2, Folate B 9 and Pyridoxine B 6 also contribute to bone formation and strength.   Have you had your thyroid checked?  The thyroid is important to bone health as well.  The thyroid uses lots of thiamine, so a poorly functioning thyroid will affect bone heath.

      That sounds so very likely in my case! I will absolutely ask my doctor on my next bone check coming up in March... Thanks a lot!

      Calcium levels as measured in the blood can be quite deceiving as the body will rob calcium from the bones to meet demands for it by other bodily functions. Also, supplementing with calcium can be counterproductive as it tends to raise gut pH and decrease absorption. More often than not, the problem is poor absorption to begin with rather than deficiency of intake amounts in the diet. Calcium needs an acidic environment to be absorbed. This is why so many people on PPIs develop osteoporosis. The PPIs raise gut pH. And some people have high gut PH for other reasons. Low pH equates to a more acidic environment whereas high pH equates to a more basic (less acidic) environment.

      Kind thanks for all this valuable information! Since my Folate was/is low and also my Calcium, there IS a chance I am low in B vitamins... My doctor only measured the first two, oh and Zinc as I has twisted her arm and guess what, that was mega low too. So who knows, until I get myself tested properly, what else I am deficient in... I did a hair mineral test recently and it said to avoid All sources of Calcium. But this is confusing for me as my Ca is so low and I have osteoporosis because of this. It is my Adjusted Ca that is on the higher side and shouldn't be. So am not sure why the mineral test showed high Ca (well, it was medium in the test but relative to my lowish Magnesium, also via hair sample, it was high I was told). But anyway, thanks again for the VitB download, I will look into this most certainly!

      Allergy medication: cetirizine by the HealthA2Z is it gluten free?

      By ElisaAllergiesgluten · Posted

      Hello good afternoon, I was wondering if anyone has ever brought their anti-allergy pills? I have been wanting to use their Cetirizine HCI 10mg. They are called HealthA2Z and distributed by Allegiant Health.I’m also Asthmatic and these allergies are terrible for me but I also want to be sure they don’t have any sort of gluten compound.    I have tried calling them but to no avail. Has anyone ever used them? If so, did you had any problems or no problems at all?    thank you
