gluten-free Foods And Backpacking

Hi again....thanks to those that answered my last question...amyleigh....you were a huge help.....thanks...

I have another question and I'm hoping someone has a direction for me to search...

I'm going backpacking and now that I'm gluten-free, my list of acceptable foods has quickly dropped to zero from what I can find. I am looking for freeze dried packets of food or what I really want are the Meals Ready to Eat (MRE's), just open and eat. No cooking or heating, just eat, but they are nutritious. I've hit the outdoor stores, looked a bit online, either loaded with wheat or barley....and oh yeah....I don't eat beef or pork....chicken is fine...so that is also narrowing the field....so if anyone has any advise...or maybe i should just do a fast...my fat belly could use a break....

thanks all..

Hi Tsunami, the gluten-free Open Original Shared Link come in MRE-style packages that might do the trick. Trader Joe's also has a few things like pre-cooked rice, tuna, etc. Thai Kitchen also has quite a few items that might work for a backpacking trip. There is always canned soup and vegetables.

there's not a wide range of stuff that you can just buy for a backpacking trip. you're going to have to make/get your own food. I take bars (lara bars, think bars, bumble bars, etc.), beef jerky, gluten-free crackers and/or pretzles, dried fruits, nuts, chocolate, and if I'm bringing my stove, I dehydrate my own stuff (like chili, or pasta, or rice dishes) and just pour in hot water and let it sit).

You can find small cans of tuna, salmon, sardines and chicken at Walmart. And some pouches too.

Thanks....I'm still in my searching phase for finding foods....struck out in Target....Walmar is great....costco has some....now gluten-free pretzels....I have to hunt for those.....and I did find a place that has gluten-free MRE's, so I'm less nervous...

I see the doc later this week.....should be interesting,....I have so many questions....and I will probably just overwhelm him with my stupidity....but oh well....

Thank you everyone....now....while im on my kayak...I will try to put all this out of my mind for a few days at least...

I have really been enjoying a couple different brands of prepackaged indian foods. They come in a vaccum sealed bag and best of all, no preservatives, most are vegetarian and many are gluten-free. You can plop a couple bags in a pot of boiling water to heat, or pour it in a pot (I use the microwave). I think that you could definately eat them without warming them up, it is fully cooked. Gateway of India was one brand, and the other was Taste of India (I think). They retail for about $2 ea. Hope this helps!

Justin's Nut Butters makes individual serving size packets of almond butter. AND, they are labeled Gluten Free right on the package! I love companies that do that!

Plus, these little things are delicious! Especailly spread on an apple. :) I take this snack with me on hikes all the time. :)

Kirkland Trail Mix available at Costco does not say "gluten free" on the label but has no gluten-containing ingredients. I have been eating it without any problems.

      Supplements for those Diagnosed with Celiac Disease

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @Scatterbrain, Thiamine Vitamin B1 and amino acid Taurine work together.  Our bodies can make Taurine from meats consumed.  Our bodies cannot make Thiamine and must consume thiamine from food.  Meat is the best source of B vitamins like Thiamine.   Vegetarians may not make sufficient taurine since they don't eat meat sources of taurine.  Seaweed is the best vegetarian source of taurine. Vegetarians may not consume sufficient Thiamine since few veggies are good sources.  Whole grains, legumes, and nuts and seeds contain thiamine.  Many of these sources can be hard to digest and absorb for people with Celiac disease.   You may find taking the forms of thiamine called Benfotiamine or TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) and a B Complex will give the benefits you're looking for better than taurine alone.

      @Jmartes71, I went to Doterra's site and had a look around.  The Doterra TerraZyme supplement really jumped out at me.  Since we, as Celiacs, often have digestive problems, I looked at the ingredients.  The majority of the enzymes in this supplement are made using black mold, Aspergillus!  Other enzymes are made by yeast Saccharomyces!  Considering the fact that Celiac often have permeable intestines (leaky gut syndrome), I would be very hesitant to take a product like this.  Although there may not be live black mold or yeast in the product, the enzymes may still cause an immune system response which would definitely cause inflammation throughout the body.   Skin, eyes, and intestines are all made from the same basic type of cells.  Your skin on the outside and eyes can reflect how irritated the intestines are on the inside.  Our skin, eyes, and intestines all need the same vitamins and nutrients to be healthy:  Vitamin A, Niacin B3 and Tryptophan, Riboflavin B2, Biotin B7, Vitamin C, and Omega Threes.  Remember that the eight B vitamins work together.  Just taking high doses of just one, vitamin like B12, can cause a deficiency in the others.  Taking high doses of B12 can mask a Folate B9 deficiency.  If you take B12, please take a B Complex, too.  Thiamine B1 can be taken in high doses safely without toxicity.  Thiamine is needed by itself to produce energy so every cell in the body can function, but Thiamine also works with the other B vitamins to make life sustaining enzymes and digestive enzymes.  Deficiencies in either Niacin, Vitamin C, or Thiamine can cause digestive problems resulting in Pellagra, Scurvy, and Gastrointestinal Beriberi.   If you change your diet, you will change your intestinal microbiome.  Following the Autoimmune Protocol Diet, a Paleo diet, will starve out SIBO bacteria.  Thiamine keeps bacteria in check so they don't get out of control as in SIBO.  Thiamine also keeps MOLDS and Yeasts from overgrowth.   Menopause symptoms and menstrual irregularities are symptomatic of low Vitamin D.   Doctors are not as knowledgeable about malnutrition as we need them to be.  A nutritionist or dietician would be more helpful.   Take control of your diet and nutrition.  Quit looking for a pill that's going to make you feel better overnight.  The Celiac journey is a marathon, not a sprint.   "Let food be your medicine, and let medicine be your food."

      Are Lindt chocolate balls gluten free?

      By RUKen · Posted

      The Lindt (Lindor) dairy-free oat milk truffles are definitely gluten-free, and (last time I checked) so are the white chocolate truffles and the mint chocolate truffles.

      I've used magnesium taurinate and magnesium taurate vitamins.  Didn't notice much of a difference when I used them.
