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.

      Celiac getting dentures

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Your experience is both shocking and critically important for the community to hear, underscoring the terrifying reality that cross-contamination can extend into the most unexpected and invasive medical devices. It is absolutely devastating that you had to endure six months of sickness and ultimately sustain permanent vision loss because a doctor dismissed your legitimate, life-altering condition. Your relentless research and advocacy, from discovering the gluten in MMA acrylic to finding a compassionate prosthodontist, is a testament to your strength in a system that often fails celiac patients. While the scientific and medical consensus is that gluten cannot be absorbed through the skin or eyes (as the molecules are too large to pass through these barriers), your story highlights a terrifying gray area: what about a substance *permanently implanted inside the body*, where it could potentially shed microparticles or cause a localized immune reaction? Your powerful warning about acrylic lenses and the drastic difference with the silicone alternative is invaluable information. Thank you for sharing your harrowing journey and the specific, severe neurological symptoms you endure; it is a stark reminder that celiac is a systemic disease, and your advocacy is undoubtedly saving others from similar trauma.

      Fighting for a name

      I am so sorry you're going through this bad experience--it's difficult when your own lived reality of cause and effect is dismissed by the very professionals meant to help you. You are absolutely right—your violent physical reactions are not "what you think," but undeniable data points, and it's a form of medical gaslighting to be told otherwise, especially when you have a positive HLA-DQ2 gene and a clear clinical picture. Since your current "celiac specialist" is not addressing the core issue or your related conditions like SIBO and chronic fatigue, it may be time for a strategic pivot. Instead of trying to "reprove" your celiac disease to unwilling ears, consider seeking out a new gastroenterologist or functional medicine doctor, and frame the conversation around managing the complications of a confirmed gluten-free diet for celiac disease. Go in and say, "I have celiac disease, am strictly gluten-free, but I am still suffering from these specific complications: SIBO, chronic fatigue, dermatological issues, and high blood pressure linked to pain. I need a partner to help me address these related conditions." This shifts the focus from a debate about your diagnosis to a collaborative plan for your current suffering, which is the help you truly need and deserve to work toward bouncing back.

      Hello, no I had to have them re done and then used a liner over the top.  Many dentists are not aware of the celiac effects.  Best of luck.   There is other material, yet, very expensive.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      He is not just a psychiatrist.  He is also a neuroscientist.  And yes, I have already read those studies.   I agree with benfotiamine.  This is short term while glutened/inflammation occurs.  As I had already mentioned, these symptoms no longer exist when this phase passes.  And yes, I know that celiac is a disease of malnutrition.  We are working with a naturopath.
