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.

      The Happy Tart review

      We were flabergasted that the owner would not acknowledge a $50 e-gift card I purchased for my celiac wife. My wife tried to open it in the store and was informed there had been a system change and they could not find the record. No worries, she was told, just talk to management. Six months later, and numerous absurd back and forths, and the owner literally...

      Ibuprofen

      Yes, some people do get withdrawal from gluten but gluten withdrawal doesn't usually cause gut pain. Maybe more like general body aches and discomfort. We have articles on gluten withdrawal on this forum. You might do a search for them. Applesauce is very acidic and some brands have added vitamin C (ascorbic acid) which makes them more acidic. This can...

      Do you or anyone know alot about ibuprofen I wasn't sure if I was eating too much apple sauce. Something is making my pain so much worse I'm referring to the intense pins and needles in my feet and lower legs. Jaw actually has tardive dystonia and muscle spasms throughout my back Almost like an opposite effect that a pain reliever...

Six months later, and numerous absurd back and forths, and the owner literally informs me there have been "bad actors", so she can't make good on this lost gift card. In other words, she accused me of lying and committing fraud... over $50! Please be careful with your orders and purchases here.

      Yes, some people do get withdrawal from gluten but gluten withdrawal doesn't usually cause gut pain. Maybe more like general body aches and discomfort. We have articles on gluten withdrawal on this forum. You might do a search for them. Applesauce is very acidic and some brands have added vitamin C (ascorbic acid) which makes them more acidic. This can damage the stomach lining if you eat it too often. Especially if your stomach lining is already compromised. Ibuprofen inhibits the body's ability to rebuild the stomach's protective mucosal lining. That's why it can cause peptic ulcers. As strange as it may sound, low level irritation/inflammation stimulates the body to rebuild the stomach lining. There are two steps in this rebuilding process known as COX 1 and COX 2. Ibuprofen represses both COX 1 and COX 2. Celecoxcib, a prescription anti inflammatory, inhibits only COX 2, making it less likely to cause damage to the gut lining.

      Do you or anyone know alot about ibuprofen  I wasn't sure if I was eating too much apple sauce.   Something is making my pain so much worse  I'm referring to the intense pins and needles in my feet and lower legs.  Jaw actually has tardive dystonia and muscle spasms throughout my back Almost like an opposite effect that a pain reliever would do. I'm fairly new to this. Whatever is going on seems to be worsening  Do people get a withdrawal effect from gluten?  It's extremely painful 😖  I'll post that question or research on the site  Thank you everyone for responding
