Suggestions For Gluten Free Camping


JennyC

Recommended Posts

Later in the month we are taking our first camping trip since my 3 year old son was diagnosed with celiac disease. We are going to the mountains for three days. I would like to know what your favorite gluten-free camp foods are (especially kid-friendly) and if anyone has any tips for making the trip go as smoothly as possible. ;) We have a large 4 burner camp stove, so that should increase our options. I guess my real problem is what to make for dinner and also snack ideas. My son eats like crazy right now, so this trip should be very interesting!

So far I have thought of:

home made gluten-free goodies

Glutino crackers and cheese

various chips

original flavors of jerky

cereal or gluten-free pancakes for breakfast

For lunch:

Amy's mac & cheese

hot dogs

quesadilla & 7 layer dip

For dinner:

steak & risotto

Chicken/steak kabobs(My son loves these!!!!)

Pudgie pies made with gluten free bread

Fruits

Generic Apprentice

camp fire stew..hamburger, sliced potatoes and carrots seasoned with salt, onion powder and garlic. wrap in tin foil and wet newspaper alternating layers about 4 layers (2 each) total then tuck into the coals and let cook for 2-3 hours. DELICOUS!

Last time I checked Dinty Moore beef stew is gluten free. Or you could make your own.

gluten-free pretzels

smores without the graham crackers if you can't find any gluten-free.

fresh fruit cut up.

fruit roll ups

Last year we had bean packets over the fire. Layer gluten-free beans (we used Bush's orignal), layer of cut up hot dog (hebrew national), then toppings of choice: pineapple, green onion, peppers, additonal barbeque sauce.

We have also done tacos. Make the meat and cut up the toppings ahead of time so you just warm up the meat and assemble.

Nuts and dried fruit, vegies and dip, fresh fruit (skip the bannana, I can not get them to travel well), lunch meat and cheese roll ups.

Have a great trip.

I LOVE camping!

Breakfasts: sausage, bacon, fried potatoes, pancakes, french toast, toast fried on the griddle, eggs, applesauce made from dried apple rings and maple syrup

Lunches: sandwiches made with gluten-free tortillas or bread, chips with bean dip, deli meat wrapped in lettuce leaves, all the normal "sides" - chips, carrot sticks, fruit, cookies

Dinners: hamburgers and hotdogs with baked beans, stew cooked over the fire with ground turkey (could use beef), carrots, potatoes, onions and seasoning (I pre-cook the meat and bring dried potatoes from a box of scalloped potato mix.); spaghetti, tacos, lentil soup (buy it dehydrated and then just add water and heat it over the fire)

For S'mores: bring chocolate chip cookies (I use homemade) and use these instead of graham crackers and chocolate. They're called "Cowboy S'mores" and everyone will love them.

Thanks everyone!

I love the idea of using chocolate chip cookies for smores!!! I bought some Jo-sef "graham crackers" but I'm sceptical because according to my son their "oreo" cookies were yucky. (I agree!)

My favorite camping dinner!!!

I make it easier though, by precooking everything before going-boil the veggies, fry up the meat-so that it only takes about 20 minutes to warm up :D

Sometimes I'll make these at home in the oven :P

corn tortillas right on the grill

red potatoes, butter/oil, onions in foil in coals or on grill

omlettes

apples and peanut butter

salmon burgers/hamburgers/garden burgers

Just went camping for the first time in thirty years. It was fun, except I couldn't sleep at all. Folks say that's the first night for you, and that I'll get used to it. Hope so, because we're leaving for 10 days camping in Montana in a week or so.

      Looking for help sourcing gluten-free products that do not contain potato or corn derived ingredients. I have other autoimmune conditions (Psoriatic Arthritis and Sjogrens) so I’m looking for prepared foods as I have fatigue and cannot devote a lot of time to baking my own treats.

      I am so sorry you're going through this. It's completely understandable to feel frustrated, stressed, and disregarded after such a long and difficult health journey. It's exhausting to constantly advocate for yourself, especially when you're dealing with so many symptoms and positive diagnoses like SIBO, while still feeling unwell. The fact that you have been diligently following the diet without relief is a clear sign that something else is going on, and your doctors should be investigating other causes or complications, not dismissing your very real suffering.

      It is just so sad that health care in the United States has come to this.  Health insurance should be available to everyone, not just the healthy or the rich.  My heart goes out to you.  I would not hesitate to have the test and pay for it myself.  My big concern would be how you could keep the results truly private.  I am sure that ultimately, you could not.  A.I. is getting more and more pervasive, and all data is available somewhere.  I don't know if you could give a fake name, or pay for your test with cash.  I certainly would not disclose any positive results on a private insurance application.  As I understand it, for an official diagnosis, an MD needs to review your labs and make the call.  If you end up in the ER, or some other situation, just request a gluten free diet, and say it is because you feel better when you don't eat gluten.      Hang in there, though.  Medicare is not that far away for you, and it will remove a lot of stress from your health care concerns.  You will even be able to "come out of the closet" about being Celiac!

      Yes, I've posted a few times about two companies: Request a Test and Ulta Labs. Also, pretty much we can all request any test we want (with the possible exception of the N protein Covid test and I'm sure a couple of others) with Lab Corp (or Pixel by Lab Corp) and Quest. I much prefer Lab Corp for their professionalism, ease of service and having it together administratively, at least in DC. And just so you know, Request a Test uses Lab Corp and Quest anyway, while Ulta Labs uses only Quest. Ulta Labs is cheaper than Request a Test, but I am tired of dealing with Quest, so I don't use them so much.

      PS - I think you meant this site, but I don't believe it has been updated in years: http://glutenfreedrugs.com/ so it is best to use: You can search this site for prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/
