I am going to be spending up to 2 weeks away from home in the middle of nowhere with my new job. I will sometimes be staying in large camps or hotel rooms. I would love any suggestions on safe canned food or any food I could bring with me. Thanks so much.

How about canned fruit, creamed rice, chickpeas etc. Canned tuna and salmon, baked beans, creamed corn. Corn crackers or rice crackers and maybe a few spreads. Just a few ideas.

Hope you have fun in the middle of nowhere.

Thanks, for the ideas!

I am also looking for specific brand names that you have tried and if you had good or bad expriences with them. For example, Heinz baked beans. Thanks.

I can't help you there unless you go via New Zealand to stock up on our food and then go to the middle of nowhere.

I'll try ----

B & M Baked Beans

Bushes Baked Beans

Underwood Deviled Ham Spread

Hormel Chilli

Hormel Canned Corn Beef

Dinty Moore Beef Stew

Dole Fruit Cups

Some Thai Instants Soups - add water and zap

Dorrito's - White Cheddar

Lay's Staxx

Jif Peanut Butter w/bananas.. yum

Smucker's Jellies

Jello

Most Canned Fruit

Hormel Pepperoni

Sweet Potatoes, Baking Potatoes - zap them babies

Newmans Salsas

Vienna Sausages (I think?)

Lot of Fresh Fruit

Idaho Potato Flakes

LeSuer Baby Peas

Delmonte Canned Corn

All V-8 Products, including Splash

This is from memory and recent consumption. I am sure that there are many many more. Canned veggies and fruits are less likely to contain gluten than other prepared foods, as you know.

Hope that helps. I am curious where you are going. PM me if you would like.

If you have time, you might want to order this:

Open Original Shared Link .com/Orgran-Spaghetti-Tom...e/dp/B000EHZZUE

and if you will have access to a stove or microwave...this:

Open Original Shared Link .com/Orgran-Pasta-Sauce-E...s/dp/B000H6QZG0

Not everyone likes the canned Orgran spaghetti, but I find it pretty good when hungry and stranded in the middle of nowhere (I've actually been known to open the can and just eat it cold :ph34r:) Orgran is an entirely gluten and dairy-free company.

I have also had good experiences with Health Valley On the Go Organic Soups (lentil and black bean flavors) Open Original Shared Link although I've never contacted the company and I don't know how safe they really are in terms of cc.

Other than that I rely on Crown Prince tuna, plain chickpeas, pinto beans, black beans, lentils, Corn Thins, peanut butter, Organic Food Bars, Cliff Nectar Bars, Alpsnack Bars and Go Raw products. It might help if you bring along a small bottle of olive oil and sea salt (or other seasonings you like). Sounds strange but it allows you to turn a plain can of beans into a "bean salad" if you're stranded and really desperate for something to eat.

When I go on tour (ballet company stays in hotels), I always pack my own food. Some of my favorites include:

Tasty Bite Madras Lentils (can boil or microwave)-yummy on rice and very filling

Annie Chun's Rice Express (fresh, already-steeamed rice bowls)

GoGo Rice Pre-Cooked Seasoned Rice Bowls, Hawaiian (high calorie for when you're really hungry)

Chicken-of-the-Sea Tuna or Salmon in those flat, mylar packages

Maranatha Peanut Butter

Plain Nuts

Bags of Orgran Muesli

Glutino Breakfast Bars

Dole Fruit Cups

Bumble Bars

LaraBars

Ditto on the Potatoes...I always pack them in my suitcase and get the weirdest looks :D

Annie's Natural Salad Dressings (the gluten-free ones of course)-come in individual serving packs

Plain popcorn and brown paper lunch bags + microwave = tasty treat when everyone else is eating gluten-filled junk (I have yet to start a fire by doing it this way)

Have fun!

Hi Carriefaith

It sounds like a fun job you have.

Dinty Moore beef stew..It is actually tasty

Hey, that sounds like my job from last summer. My new job for this summer is similar; lots of field work, hotels and camps. My life saver was staying at Super 8's because they have fridges and microwaves. I brought a cooler for the shorter trips and prepared a few suppers, like pasta salads.

Freeze dried gluten-free camping food is good because you just add water.

Thai Kitchen is great for the road.

Clover Leaf or Gold Seal canned fish. I buy the ones that are just fish, salt and water without any added preservatives.

Green Giant and Dole canned veggies and fruit.

Primo canned beans. These are fairly big cans though.

Many Safeway brand canned goods are safe. I just read the ingredients.

Sun-Rype juices are safe.

I'm pretty sure Dole 100% juices are safe.

Hormel Wieners and Beans

Canned, stewed tomatos

Pre-packaged items for lunches...like

Dole fruit cups

applesauce

fruit cocktail

banana chips

canned chicken (NOT chicken of the sea ala Jessica Simpson, actual canned chicken)

canned potatoes (the small white ones.......)

Minute Rice only need 1 cup of water, bowl, and microwave - and voila!

Wow! Thanks for all the replies! You guys are great!

Thanks so much for the tip! I will keep that in mind when we have to stay in hotels.

When I went on vacation, I took along corn tostada shels (packed in my luggage in a rigid plastic box) and cans of refried beans (check label to make sure it's gluten-free. Also took along Nile Spice cup of soups in black bean flavor, red beans -n- rice flavor, etc. I know the bean flavors were gluten-free, but as always, check in case of changes. Another option (although not low in salt) is Hormel chicken and rice, ham and potato, and Dinty Moore Stew in the plastic microwavable trays. Healthy Choice has several canned soups that are gluten-free. You can make chicken salad from canned chicken and small packages of relish and mayo that you can usually get a deli to sell to you. Might want to take some small cans of veggies. Take along Nut Thins or your favorite gluten-free cracker. Plain Fritos go well with the soups.

Apples travel well if you pack them carefully and apples and peanut butter make a great snack or quick meal. Jif has some new snack paks of peanut butter out that's really handy.

Thanks! Does anyone know which Healthy Choice soups are gluten-free?

I know the three we keep on hand are

Healthy Chioce Country Vegetable Soup

Healthy Chioce Chicken With Rice Soup

Healthy Chioce Split Pea & Ham Soup

My hubby likes the Healthy Choice Beef & Vegatable which wasn't gluten-free but they changed and now it is. He still checks the label each time.

Also, Progresso Lentil Soup is gluten-free (last time I checked)

Also, Amy's makes a bunch of gluten-free soups. I started to list them but it's easier to go to their list...

How could I have forgotten about the Tasty Bites Line? If you like curries, they are great for traveling. If you're going to have a fridge on the other end, add mozzarella to their Kashmir Spinach and it makes a great dip! (another one I've had to chase my co-workers away from)

      gluten-free Oatmeal

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Oats naturally contain a protein called avenin, which is similar to the gluten proteins found in wheat, barley, and rye. While avenin is generally considered safe for most people with celiac disease, some individuals, around 5-10% of celiacs, may also have sensitivity to avenin, leading to symptoms similar to gluten exposure. You may fall into this category, and eliminating them is the best way to figure this out. Some people substitute gluten-free quinoa flakes for oats if they want a hot cereal substitute. If you are interested in summaries of scientific publications on the topic of oats and celiac disease, we have an entire category dedicated to it which is here: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/oats-and-celiac-disease-are-they-gluten-free/

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Hi, @Ginger38, I've had shingles in the past.  I understand how miserable you're feeling.   Not only do i have the chickenpox virus lurking about, I also have the cold sore virus that occasionally flares with a huge cold sore on my lip when stressed or exposed to gluten.  The virus lives dormant in the nerves on the left side of my face.  It causes Bell's Palsy (resulting in drooling).  The cold sore virus is also in my eye.  My eye swells up and my vision is diminished permanently whenever I have a flare, so it's of the utmost importance to keep flares away and treat them immediately if they do happen so I don't lose any more vision.   I take the amino acid supplement L-Lysine.  Lysine messes with the replication of viruses, which helps the body fight them off.   I haven't had an outbreak for several years until this year when exceptionally stressed and contaminated, it flared up again. Lysine has been shown to be beneficial in suppression of viruses like the cold sore virus (a herpetic virus), the chickenpox virus (also a herpetic virus), as well as the HIV virus, and even the Covid virus.   I also take additional Thiamine in the form TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) because Thiamine has antiviral properties as well.   For pain, a combination of Thiamine (like TTFD or Benfotiamine or Thiamine Hydrochloride), with B12 Cobalamine, and Pyridoxine B6 have been shown to have analgesic properties which relieve pain and neuropathy.    The combination of Thiamine B1, Pyridoxine B6 and Cobalamine B12 really does work to relieve pain.  I take it for back pain from crushed vertebrae in my back.  This combination also works on other pain and neuropathy.   I usually buy a supplement that combines all three and also Riboflavin B2 called EXPLUS online.  However, it's made in Japan and the price with the tariffs added makes it really expensive now.  But the combination of Thiamine B1, Pyridoxine B6 and B12 Cobalamine (and Riboflavin B2) still work even if taken separately.   I can't take Tylenol or ibuprofen because of stomach upsets.  But I can take the vitamin combination without side effects.  However, you can take the three vitamins at the same time as other pain relievers for added benefit.  The vitamins help other pain relievers work better. I hope you will try it.  Hopeful you'll feel better quickly. Interesting Reading: Thiamine, cobalamin, locally injected alone or combination for herpetic itching: a single-center randomized controlled trial https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/23887347/ Mechanisms of action of vitamin B1 (thiamine), B6 (pyridoxine), and B12 (cobalamin) in pain: a narrative review https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35156556/ Analgesic and analgesia-potentiating action of B vitamins https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/12799982/ A Narrative Review of Alternative Symptomatic Treatments for Herpes Simplex Virus https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10301284/

      I think, after reading this, that you areso traumatized by not being able yo understand what your medical advisors have been  what medical conditions are that you would like to find a group of people who also feel traumatized who would agree with you and also support you. You are on a crusade much as the way the US Cabinet  official, the Health Director of our nation is in trying to change what he considers outdated and incorrect health advisories. He does not have the education, background or experience to be in the position he occupies and is not making beneficial decisions. That man suffered a terrible trauma early in his life when his father was assonated. We see now how he developed and worked himself into a powerful position.  Unless you are willing to take some advice or  are willing to use a few of the known methods of starting on a path to better health then not many of us on this Celiac Forum will be able to join you in a continuing series of complaints about medical advisors.    I am almost 90 years old. I am strictly gluten free. I use 2 herbs to help me stay as clear minded as possible. You are not wrong in complaining about medical practitioners. You might be more effective with a clearer mind, less anger and a more comfortable life if you would just try some of the suggestions offered by our fellow celiac volunteers.

      Thus has got to STOP , medical bit believing us! I literally went through 31 years thinking it was just a food allergy as its downplayed by medical if THEY weren't the ones who diagnosed us! Im positive for HLA-DQ2 which is first celiac patient per Iran and Turkey. Here in the States especially in Cali its why do you feel that way? Why do you think your celiac? Your not eating gluten so its something else.Medical caused me depression. I thought I was safe with my former pcp for 25 years considering i thought everything I went through and going through will be available when I get fired again for health. Health not write-ups my health always come back when you're better.Im not and being tossed away at no fault to my own other than shitty genes.I was denied disability because person said he didn't know how to classify me! I said Im celiac, i have ibs, hernia, sciatica, high blood pressure, in constant pain have skin and eye issues and menopause intensified everything. With that my celiac nightmare began to reprove my disregarded disease to a bunch of clowns who think they are my careteam when they said I didn't have...I feel Im still breathing so I can fight this so no body else has to deal with this nightmare. Starting over with " new care team" and waisting more time on why I think I am when diagnosed in 1994 before food eliminated from my diet. P.s everything i went through I did write to medical board, so pretty sure I will continue to have a hard time.
