New gluten-free Ideas


Darese

Recommended Posts

We are planning a trip to visit my sister in Louisiana next month. Since we are driving, we'll be on the road for 2 days. Can anyone give me new ideas of safe meat to carry along for him. He doesn't complain, but if I were he, I'd be tired of salmon and tuna. Once we get there, I can fix anything, it's just keeping it fresh on the road that I need more ideas for.

Ener-G sells 2 slice packs of bread. Expensive, but they keep for a long time. You could get some of those and a small jar of nut butter or portion packs and also some jelly. You can get some gluten free portion packs here:

For my daughter I buy almond butter, jelly, Trix, chips, and salami. I send them often in her lunch to school.

She also likes Shelton's turkey sticks, cans of Vienna sausage, corn chips with canned refried beans and/or Nacho Chreese dip (a dairy free dip). You can get shelf stable (until opened) jars of hummus that can be eaten with raw veggies, gluten-free pretzels or breadsticks or rice crackers. There are assorted fruit products like dried fruits, Rollups, apple chips, etc. You can buy small packages of lunch meat and cheese and keep them in a cooler at least for the first day of the trip.

Dora Star cereal.

Kinninnick K-toos and their brand of animal crackers.

Fresh veggies and Fruit

Already cooked chicken nuggets Bell and Evan's if you have them near you, then just reheat. Could you make pasta dishes or soups and just reheat them too or are you looking at eating in the car?

Hot Dogs

Boars Head brand deli meats is gluten free so that could help with the sandwich variety.

Thanks alot for the tips. He currently eats alot of PJ on rice cakes which he enjoys but would probably enjoy Shelton's turkey sticks, cans of Vienna sausage, corn chips with canned refried beans and/or Nacho Chreese dip. ;)

Get yourself a travel fridge - it saved us on our long drive:

this is a relatively small one, or

A slightly larger one.

We were able to bring cheese, meat, yogurt, drinks, cut up fruits & veggies, dip, etc. Heck, since we travelled for Thanksgiving, I was even able to bring a pre-made gluten-free pie crust. It really made things a lot easier for us, and we were able to bring a wide range of food for all of us.

Great idea. Thanks. :D

      Symptoms that get worse if you don't supplement is a sign of malabsorption, possibly due to Celiac disease. Blood tests for nutritional deficiencies are not very accurate, and should be done when you have been off of supplements for eight to twelve weeks, otherwise the vitamin supplements you've taken will be measured.  The blood circulation system is a transportation system.  It transports the vitamins you've absorbed around the body, but blood tests don't give an accurate picture of the vitamin and mineral stores inside organs and tissues where they are actually used.  You can have "normal" blood levels but still have deficiencies.  This is because the brain demands stored nutrients be put into the blood stream to supply important organs, like the brain and heart, while other organs do without.   If you are taking Thiamine Mononitrate in your supplements, you are probably low in thiamine.  Thiamine Mononitrate is used in many supplements because it won't break down sitting on a shelf.  This also means Thiamine Mononitrate is difficult for the body to utilize.  Only thirty percent of Thiamine Mononitrate on the label is absorbed and even less is able to be utilized by the body.  A different form of Thiamine called Benfotiamine has been shown to promote intestinal healing.   Talk to your doctor about doing a genetic test to look for Celiac markers.   I'm concerned that if you do a gluten challenge (10 grams of gluten per day for a minimum off two weeks) in your weakened state, the nutritional deficiencies will become worse and possibly life threatening.

      Hello, good afternoon!   I apologize, I didn’t see a notification and I’m just reading this. Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts and the link. Yes you are absolutely right, even so trying to get a response from them has been extremely difficult. They don’t answer but I will your practice of “guilty until proven innocent.”   I like and have a sense of trust here in this website, everyone is honest and thoughts are raw. The mutual understanding is amazing!   thank you Scott!

      That and my nutritionist also said that drinking cider is one of the worst drink choices for me, given that I have candida overgrowth.  She said the combination of the alcohol and sugar would be very likely to worsen my candida problem.  She suggested that if I drink, I go for clear vodka, either neat or with a splash of cranberry.   So in summary, I am giving ciders a rest.  Whether it's a gluten risk or sugars and yeast overgrowth, its just not worth it.
