Going To An Overnight Conference

Hi there. On September 29th and 30th I am going to a conference in another city and am really worried about meals. We are all going on a bus. Friday night we have to bring along a bagged supper to eat on the bus. (Yikes!) I am not too worried about breakfast Saturday morning since we have a small fridge in our hotel and I will just have a bowl of cereal and almond milk. I will have to bring along Saturday's lunch since we will not be going back to hotel between lectures which are in a different location (no fridge, no microwave). Everyone else will be purchasing lunches from vendors. Then on our way back Saturday night we will be stopping somewhere for supper (groan!!). Can anyone please provide me with some recipes for stuff I can eat on the bus and Saturday lunch which does not need toasting (that eliminates most gluten free bread, bagels etc) or microwaving (which is what I usually do for lunch) or refrigeration. I am gluten intolerant, casein intolerant, sensitive to onions, peppers, and eggs. I have been on this diet for about 12 weeks and am definitely still in the healing stage. I would really appreciate any help I can get here so I am not eating Lara bars and carrot sticks all weekend. Thanks!!

Apples, oranges, and bananas would all be good. You can also buy serving sized fruits/applesauce/and that are prepackaged. The last time I checked the original OBERTO jerky, it didn't have any gluten containing ingredients, and that would give you some protein (check you package, just in case, though). You could also do Peanut Butter and celery (though the celery keeps best refrigerated). You could mix peanut butter and honey (together in one jar) and then take rice cakes or crackers and make "cracker sandwiches". Regular potato chips ought to be okay (most of the flavored ones have casien). It might be a boring food weekend, but at least you'll be safe! And perhaps you can convince them to stop at a restaurant that just "happens" to have a gluten-free menu on the way home (outback steakhouse, Chili's, and PF Changs are three of the more commonly found ones). Good luck!

Rice cakes or crackers and corn tortilla's make great bread substitutes. I survived on corn tortilla's when I worked out of town. Since you can't have cheese, you could put peanut butter, hummus, avacado, veggies, and/or meats on the tortilla's. You could bring a lunch bag with one of those ice packs. Put the whole thing in you hotel fridge overnight and it should keep your lunch cool for the next day. You could also make a pasta salad before you leave and keep it in a small cooler and you would have supper for the next day.

      Lubriderm-gluten-free?

      By Mswena · Posted

      So eight days in a row of gluten on top of gluten on top of gluten, I just had to resort to the EpiPen. I wish I could post a picture because you wouldn’t believe how enormous my gut is! It makes my head look like a pinhead.Ahhhgggsahhhhh!!!! I have discovered that I have to read the ingredients when I use a product up that I’ve been able to use without getting a reaction, because they can change the ingredients and bam my toothpaste now has gluten!!! my doctor told me gluten free means it has 20 ppm which someone with a severe a celiac as I’ve got that thing there kills me. I try to find certified gluten-free in everything. I can’t eat any oats unless it’s Bob’s red mill certified gluten-free. Good luck everybody this autoimmune disease is wicked wicked

      Lubriderm-gluten-free?

      By Mswena · Posted

      I have been using a little bit of Lubriderm when I wash my hands because it’s the lotion offered at a place I frequent once a week. Assuming it was gluten-free I bought a bottle. I couldn’t figure out why I was getting gluten EVERY night. I use a little of the lotion in the morning on my neck, with no reaction, but at night, I use it on my arms and legs and face and get gluten gut pretty bad. After eight nights of having to have diphenhydramine injections for severe gluten, I googled “is Lubriderm gluten-free” and it led me to this forum. I am going to go back to olive oil as I have been gut sick sooooooo bad with a huge gut and pain eight days in a row now. Sick of feeling sick.

      Latent celiac, need to go gluten free, advice on kitchen "reset?"

      These look great!  I follow several people who frequently post gluten-free recipes online (plus they sell their cookbooks). "Gluten Free on a Shoestring" and "Erin's Meaningful Eats>"

      Latent celiac, need to go gluten free, advice on kitchen "reset?"

      By ShariW · Posted

      When I had to go gluten-free, the rest of my family still ate gluten. They still eat regular bread products and crackers, but there are no other gluten-containing foods in the house. I bought a separate toaster that is only used for gluten-free products, and thoroughly cleaned all cookware, dishes and surfaces. We do have to be very careful with cross-contact, for instance when someone else is making a sandwich with wheat bread. Then I went through my cupboards and pantry, I set aside everything else with gluten and gave it away - flour and baking mixes, pasta, etc. So when I cook any recipe that calls for flour (perhaps for thickening) or bread crumbs like Panko, I only use gluten-free. My cupboard now holds gluten-free baking flour, tapioca flour, rice flour, almond flour, gluten-free oats, gluten-free grits, gluten-free cornmeal, and a few gluten-free baking mixes for occasional use. On the odd occasion when we have pasta, it is gluten-free - nobody notices the difference in the "new" lasagna. I have found several good recipes that are gluten-free and everyone loves them. A family favorite is the Tarta de Santiago, a naturally gluten-free treat made with almond flour.
