Camping This Weekend - What Will I Eat?

Hallooooooooooooo friends,

I need some quick help and ideas and don't have time to search the forum.

I have not been camping in nearly two years. :( I need some great ideas about what to eat. We'll have a grill and possibly barbecue (both will be fully sterilized), and a burner or two, so cooking's not a problem. Two or three ice chests, so space isn't a problem ( I camp rather luxuriously in my latter years :lol:)

We'll be bringing steaks for sure, and I"ll make gluten-free pancakes in the morning, maybe - but does seem like a lot of work for someone who doesn't always sleep that well in two-man tent w/ one adult and two large canines......

any great ideas?

Thanks!! ;)

We just came back from our 1st gluten-free camping trip and it was a GREAT success!! I made cereal bars ahead of time with nuts, choco-chips, dried fruit and stored in in ziplock bags, a huge bag of trail mix filled with all of our favorite stuff, for dinners we had chicken, steak, tilapia fillets, hamburgers, roasted all natural hot dogs (is that an oxymoron??) For breakfasts we had pancakes, french toast, bacon and eggs, hashbrowns/sausage/egg scramble, lots of fresh fruit and veggies, cheese and crackers, rice cakes, PB, yogurt and cereal, gluten-free cookies--shall I go on :) I had really been concerned about it and really not excited, but now that it's done, I can't wait to do it again!! Have a great time!

Hot dogs on a stick!

I made mac and cheese camping once. I took the cheese mix out of Kraft mac&cheese and brought gluten-free pasta.

I like to make up homemade sausage ahead of time, freeze it, make chebe into rolls and have sausage and egg rolls. I usally cook enough potatoes in foil over coals for dinner (olivie oil, onion, salt, garlic, etc.) to have a few leftover in the morning to re-heat over the campfire (or in a skillet if it is too hot).

Lunch is cold with a chicken prepared ahead of time, that I make into chicken salad which I eat out of a container.

I bring lots of containers for leftovers too.

Dinners are always easy...plain meat, meat balls, chili, spaghetti, etc.

Tsu-zhan,

Gotta say I'm surprised this causes even the slightest consternation for you.

I'd have guessed you've gotten so used to gluten-free at home, it'd make for an easy transfer to a camping menu.

:) After 2 yrs, you must be SO excited to get out there again! :)

My only input is that I'd skip the pancakes and go w/ eggs. Whether w/ bacon or scrambled w/ peppers & onions & cheese, or whatever - it just *smells* better and that's a great way to start a day out in the wilds. ;)

Have a dingo-riffic time!!!! :lol:

:o Wowzer!! I want you to be my chef for this camping trip! That sounds fantastic! Obviously you're a mommy because you're WAY more organized than I am..... :lol:

:huh: um, you lost me at homemade sausage.....:lol: I'm very impressed!

Tom - - what kind of bacon?? I never buy bacon....doesn't it all have MSG and/or soy sauce in it? I do miss it...

I am feeding two of us, you know.....so a bit more difficult. My friend wants to eat fully gluten-free - he's bringing steaks, chicken, whatever - -I'm bringing salad etc.........that's why it's a little harder, maybe?

oh, and the fact that I"m a SERIOUSLY disorganized person makes it a little challenging...... :ph34r:

Pepto, PB&J and Pecan crackers (travel staples) & a knife to spread things.

Seriously - camping is when my guts do the best - if it's truly camping and not eating on the road (restaurants). I've been doing the gluten-free camping for 7+ years, including multiple 3+ weeks unsupported.

(hint) - Put the Tamari Sauce in the camping vehicle now. Make some Coconut/Pineapple rice ahead for breakfast (1 Can coconut milk, 1 can pineapple chunks, about 1/4 cup more water, 1 cup rice, a little salt). It almost always comes out gluey, but it's really good. It can be heated, fried, included as a side dish, and easy to eat.

I find breakfast and lunch being the hardest meals for me. I never leave home without my grocery bag full of goodies.

Anything on the BBQ taste great, better when camping. Smoked salmon?, cheese-not me :(, Fruit/vegies, gluten-free crackers, WINE, coffee/tea, gluten-free bread - pan fried toast, Taters - not me, chips & salsa - not me, LOTS of WATER. Corn tortilla's fired in a little butter with cinnamon sugar, or maple syrup w/fruit inside), yogurt -not me, & last but not least more wine.

Have fun, Bob

OMG Susie you have been *seriously* missing out!!

Not that I can currently have it, but 3 of 4 of my fav stores have natural bacon varieties (yes often not just one) in the butcher's case.

Unfortunately that 4th one, which I'm not sure *doesnt* have it, is Trader Joe's. :(

But they might have some.

No preservatives, no nothin. Just pig, the wood used in smoking and sometimes brown sugar or similar.

I've even seen it at some big chains, also in the butcher case. You do NOT have to avoid GOOD bacon! Yay :)

I am feeding two of us, you know.....so a bit more difficult. My friend wants to eat fully gluten-free -

I couldn't imagine it any other way. :)

( :wub: ) lmao

:lol: :lol: :lol:

Bob - my kinda camping! ;) Definitely wine. And morning coffee.

Tom - - OMG - - yes I have been seriously missing the bacon. Are you saying TJ's does NOT have a gluten-free bacon????? I think I"ve checked....but not recently.......

Ah yeah I :lol: considered using enough :lol: words to be perfectly clear :lol: but :lol: decided to aim for :lol: 42%. :P (HA!) :lol:

I don't know whether TJ's has it or not. It wouldn't be where the rest of the national brand bacon is. If they have it, it'd be packaged in a styrofoam tray & cellophane, like some of the other meat.

And it'd be near there too.

BUT!! Even if *they* don't have it, don't lose heart. I've seen it at several big chain groc stores, too, like I said, in the butcher case. So u get to say "3/4 of a pound of the thick-cut mesquite & a 1/4 pound of the applewood smoked please" to the nice man in the white coat. :)

(How *did* butchers ever get to dress like doctors?)

Maybe a good start is to 'let your fingers do the walking' w/ some calling around.

And how about calling a real butcher shop as a last resort, if there's one in town.

Ahhhhhhh seeing all the stars . . . . .

Strumming a guitar around the campfire . . . .

No 100 degree days!!!!!!

(Damn they really need an emoticon for envy!!)

P.S. Don't forget to have a nice BLT w/in 3 days of returning! ;) <drool>

Susie, Check out Welshire Farms Bacon. It's so good....and labled gluten-free.

I get it at Whole Foods--I'm sure you could find it at Trader Joe's.

:wacko: Ok "Seuss-zey of the pot/kettle vernacular", the ones I'm talking about are called Natural Bacon (or AllNatural), and I think I've always seen the VERY short ingred list (VERY VERY SHORT) on the same tag that has the price. It's not cheap bacon.

It'll only be pork, salt, wood for smoking, and maybe brown sugar or whatever.

And it's soooooooo much better than any big brand. :o

I've seen it at WhFds, Sprouts, Sunflower Markets, & big-chain Albertson's.

Just call your safeway-type stores and ask about all-natural bacon. mmmmm :)

(Pageloads sure are slow today for me. Email's quick :P )

I'm pretty sure TJ's has pre-cooked, nitrite-free, gluten-free bacon (okay you'd have to check on the gluten-free part). Might be good for camping?...I dunno, I don't usually eat bacon...nor do I often camp B) (So why am I posting here? :lol:) I thought most bacon was gluten-free though, except for McDonald's and one other really uncommon brand?

I don't know...anyway...have fun this weekend :D

      Newly diagnosed mam to coeliac 11 year old

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the celic.com community @Dizzyma! I'm assuming you are in the U.K. since you speak of your daughter's celiac disease blood tests as "her bloods".  Has her physician officially diagnosed her has having celiac disease on the results of her blood tests alone? Normally, if the ttg-iga blood test results are positive, a follow-up endoscopy with biopsy of the small bowel lining to check for damage would be ordered to confirm the results of "the bloods". However if the ttg-iga test score is 10x normal or greater, some physicians, particularly in the U.K., will dispense with the endoscopy/biopsy. If there is to be an endoscopy/biopsy, your daughter should not yet begin the gluten free diet as doing so would allow healing of the small bowel lining to commence which may result in a biopsy finding having results that conflict with the blood work. Do you know if an endoscopy/biopsy is planned? Celiac disease can have onset at any stage of life, from infancy to old age. It has a genetic base but the genes remain dormant until and unless triggered by some stress event. The stress event can be many things but it is often a viral infection. About 40% of the general population have the genetic potential to develop celiac disease but only about 1% actually develop celiac disease. So, for most, the genes remain dormant.  Celiac disease is by nature an autoimmune disorder. That is to say, gluten ingestion triggers an immune response that causes the body to attack its own tissues. In this case, the attack happens in he lining of the small bowel, at least classically, though we now know there are other body systems that can sometimes be affected. So, for a person with celiac disease, when they ingest gluten, the body sends attacking cells to battle the gluten which causes inflammation as the gluten is being absorbed into the cells that make up the lining of the small bowel. This causes damage to the cells and over time, wears them down. This lining is composed of billions of tiny finger-like projections and which creates a tremendous surface area for absorbing nutrients from the food we eat. This area of the intestinal track is where all of our nutrition is absorbed. As these finger-like projections get worn down by the constant inflammation from continued gluten consumption before diagnosis (or after diagnosis in the case of those who are noncompliant) the efficiency of nutrient absorption from what we eat can be drastically reduced. This is why iron deficiency anemia and other nutrient deficiency related medical problems are so common in the celiac population. So, to answer your question about the wisdom of allowing your daughter to consume gluten on a limited basis to retain some tolerance to it, that would not be a sound approach because it would prevent healing of the lining of her small bowel. It would keep the fires of inflammation smoldering. The only wise course is strict adherence to a gluten free diet, once all tests to confirm celiac disease are complete.

      Newly diagnosed mam to coeliac 11 year old

      By Dizzyma · Posted

      Hi all, I have so many questions and feel like google is giving me very different information. Hoping I may get some more definite answers here. ok, my daughter has been diagnosed as a coeliac as her bloods show anti TTG antibodies are over 128. We have started her  on a full gluten free diet. my concerns are that she wasn’t actually physically sick on her regular diet, she had tummy issues and skin sores. My fear is that she will build up a complete intolerance to gluten and become physically sick if she has gluten. Is there anything to be said for keeping a small bit of gluten in the diet to stop her from developing a total intolerance?  also, she would be an anxious type of person, is it possible that stress is the reason she has become coeliac? I read that diagnosis later in childhood could be following a sickness or stress. How can she have been fine for the first 10 years and then become coeliac? sorry, I’m just very confused and really want to do right by her. I know a coeliac and she has a terrible time after she gets gluttened so just want to make sure going down a total gluten free road is the right choice. thank you for any help or advise xx

      Severe severe mouth pain

      By Russ H · Posted

      Hi Charlie, You sound like you have been having a rough time of it. Coeliac disease can cause a multitude of skin, mouth and throat problems. Mouth ulcers and enamel defects are well known but other oral conditions are also more common in people with coeliac disease: burning tongue, inflamed and swollen tongue, difficulty swallowing, redness and crusting in the mouth corners, and dry mouth to name but some. The link below is for paediatric dentistry but it applies to adults too.  Have you had follow up for you coeliac disease to check that your anti-tTG2 antibodies levels have come down? Are you certain that you not being exposed to significant amounts of gluten? Are you taking a PPI for your Barrett's oesophagus? Signs of changes to the tongue can be caused by nutritional deficiencies, particularly iron, B12 and B9 (folate) deficiency. I would make sure to take a good quality multivitamin every day and make sure to take it with vitamin C containing food - orange juice, broccoli, cabbage etc.  Sebaceous hyperplasia is common in older men and I can't find a link to coeliac disease.   Russ.   Oral Manifestations in Pediatric Patients with Coeliac Disease – A Review Article
