We'll be leaving Friday for a week at the beach!!!!! B)B)B)

Does anyone have any ideas of what I should pack, food wise? The island has grocery stores, but I have no idea if they have any gluten-free products. ;) I was thinking about making some cocoa pebble treats (like rice krispie treats) and some peanut butter cookies to have in the car for snacks. We'll be in the car for 2 days for the trip. :o I think I will buy some of my rice I love. But is there anything else I should be thinking of?

Your suggestions are greatly appreciated! :D

I would take some gluten-free bread in case you can't get any there.

Does it have to stay refrigerated? I don't know if we will have a cooler or not yet! Won't know until we get the car packed! I wasn't sure if it would go bad on the way.

I've let mine thaw out I eat the bread during the week. I think the bread should be fine for about 5 days after thawing, just make sure that the bread isn't in direct sunlight or in extrememly hot places.

Thanks! I will add to my list. We usually make sandwiches on the way instead of eating fast food junk!

I've heard of some people taking Energ bread on vacation because it doesn't need to be frozen. I'd just pack a big cooler with as much stuff as you can. Have fun!

If you have time to look for them, I love the Fruit Leather fruit-roll-up-like snacks! And EnerG crackers are the closest to saltines that I have been able to find. I love them with peanut butter! Maybe you could put p-nut butter on one, and smush another on top, and then you have it in a baggie for the trip! I also eat planters nuts (in the travel "tube", like a single serving tube) but I can't remember if you have a nut allergy also. But they are gluten-free. And glutino pretzels, if you can find them before friday, are SO good! Hope that helps! (Oh, and I don't know if the celiac.com jury is still out on m&m's, but I eat them as a quick snack if I am in the store and starving or something, so maybe a bag of those for the "good" treats! LOL)

I am going on a trip to China very soon and I can only have one carry-on and one suitcase. I will be gone for 21 days. I will be able to eat plain rice while out and about part of the time but I would like to bring gluten-free snacks and some options for when I get stuck. I need ideas. I'm a little stressed on the travel aspects of celiac disease and not being able to read labels and cross contamination issues w/ language barriers. Can anyone think of any backpacking food that is lightweight/high protein and doesn't take up too much room and would be allowed in international baggage? Thanks for any ideas.

Thai Kitchen soup bowls only require boiling water. We have a little car kettle that plugs into the lighter plug.

I would take lots and lots of EnerG Sesame pretzels!!! That is one of my favorite things for when I'm starving and just need something quick to tide me over until I can have a meal.

Let just wish you a safe trip first!! Now I can tell you how jealous I am that you are going to the beach :), I am trying to locate a decent priced beachhouse in Wildwood NJ at the moment....anyway

I would also pack some fruit and veggies that you can snack on. Glutino and Enjoy Life both make decent tasting snack, I actually keep the Enjoy Life ones in my desk at work. Those cocoa treats sound yummy by the way. Also if you have kids the NeoPet's cereal is gluten free and is a good snack.

The EnerG bread does travel nice, Tapioca for me personally came as close to white bread as I could get. I am still thinking of more ideas and when I get some I will log back on and help!

      I do not know this, but since they are labelled gluten-free, and are not really a product that could easily be contaminated when making them (there would be not flour in the air of such a facility, for example), I don't really see contamination as something to be concerned about for this type of product.

      Thank you so much @knitty kitty for this insightful information! I would have never considered fractionated coconut oil to be a potential source of GI upset. I will consider all the info you shared. Very interesting about the Thiamine deficiency.  I've tracked daily averages of my intake in a nutrition software. The only nutrient I can't consistently meet from my diet is vitamin D. Calcium is a hit and miss as I rely on vegetables, dark leafy greens as a major source, for my calcium intake. I'm able to meet it when I either eat or juice a bundle of kale or collard greens daily haha. My thiamine intake is roughly 120% of my needs, although I do recognize that I may not be absorbing all of these nutrients consistently with intermittent unintentional exposures to gluten.  My vitamin A intake is roughly 900% (~6400 mcg/d) of my needs as I eat a lot of sweet potato, although since it's plant-derived vitamin A (beta-carotene) apparently it's not likely to cause toxicity.  Thanks again!

      Hello, @Jane02,  I take Naturewise D 3.  It contains olive oil.   Some Vitamin D supplements, like D Drops, are made with fractionated coconut oil which can cause digestive upsets.  Fractionated coconut oil is not the same as coconut oil used for cooking.  Fractionated coconut oil has been treated for longer shelf life, so it won't go bad in the jar, and thus may be irritating to the digestive system. I avoid supplements made with soy because many people with Celiac Disease also react to soy.  Mixed tocopherols, an ingredient in Thornes Vitamin D, may be sourced from soy oil.  Kirkland's has soy on its ingredient list. I avoid things that might contain or be exposed to crustaceans, like Metagenics says on its label.  I have a crustacean/shellfish/fish allergy.  I like Life Extension Bioactive Complete B Complex.  I take additional Thiamine B 1 in the form Benfotiamine which helps the intestines heal, Life Extension MegaBenfotiamine. Thiamine is needed to activate Vitamin D.   Low thiamine can make one feel like they are getting glutened after a meal containing lots of simple carbohydrates like white rice, or processed gluten free foods like cookies and pasta.   It's rare to have a single vitamin deficiency.  The water soluble B Complex vitamins should be supplemented together with additional Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine and Thiamine TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) to correct subclinical deficiencies that don't show up on blood tests.  These are subclinical deficiencies within organs and tissues.  Blood is a transportation system.  The body will deplete tissues and organs in order to keep a supply of thiamine in the bloodstream going to the brain and heart.   If you're low in Vitamin D, you may well be low in other fat soluble vitamins like Vitamin A and Vitamin K. Have you seen a dietician?
