Hey guys! Need some quick help!

I have Hurricane Ike :huh: barreling toward us and I need some easy non-perishable gluten free ideas for my two girls, 11 & 14 and if anyone is allergic to soy like me I'd appreciate any ideas for gluten free, dairy free and soy free!

Any help and ides would be appreciated. I have bought some Bush's beans, however I've never eaten them before so I'm a bit paranoid about putting something new in my mouth during a time like this..............Any suggestions would be more that appreciated!

Marsha :blink:

When we didnt know what Hanna was gonna do and the one before that one we did a little shopping.

I bought canned tuna. Plantain chips and fruit that doesnt go bad fast. And my beloved Almonds by "Back To Nature". I was delighted when I called them and they were very up on Celiac and said all of their products are gluten free. Hemp milk. Apple sauce and canned fruits. This was enough for me to feel secure for up to 2 weeks.

Good choices are apples and peanut butter or almond butter. Tuna and corn chips. Trail mix. Canned refried beans, salsa and corn chips. Could get corn tortillas too (they dont have to be refridgerated).

Apple sauce and almonds. gluten-free cereal with the small individual rice/almond/hazelnut milks.

Get some plastic plates, silverware and cups.

Buy ice and put in coolers.

Dont open the fridge or freezer if you lose power. Things will stay good for a few days if you dont open them. Hopefully power wouldnt be out long.

If so....make sure you have lots of charcoal for the grill, so you can grill what you can.

Thanks for the reply Shay! My brother lives in New Hampshire and gave him a hard time about Hannah. He has a neice named Hannah! Told him she reached out and gave him a big hug! LOL

I do have tuna for the girls, again I get paranoid because I'm allergic to it and my lungs close up pretty quick so I just hesitate to even have it in the house...........I'll be glad when I can get passed the emotional aspects of all this.....

I just got in today from Canada some kinninnick or however you spell it bread and I'm pleased! I bought me some peanut butter to snack with the bread. We do have a gas grill to use. I'm just not a fan of alot of boxed sugary treats. I purchased some fruit, but my girls may not want to eat it. (Guess they will not have a choice) I read that the Libby's vienna sausges are gluten free, however this isn't something I would feed them before their celiac diagnosis......so now what.........

Considered canned chicken. I don't believe it contains soy, but double check. I can't handle the mercury in tuna so I keep a dozen cans of chicken in my emergency box instead of tuna.

Hormel chilli is gluten-free as well. And they have those easy open indivudal containers. Buy a couple blue ice blocks if you can. They stay cold longer than ice, don't melt all over the place, and can be refrozen if you get somewhere where you can pop them in a freezer for a couple hours.

Swanson canned broth is gluten-free. You can always throw some canned chicken and some rice noodles in to it for a quick soup.

How about things like carrot or celery sticks? Whatever you do, don't forget a can opener and serving spoons. How about raisens or cranraisens, do the kids like them? SPAM? I know, I know, but it's canned, easy to open, and it can be sliced for sandwiches, or thrown in soup or even, heavens, BBQ's with BBQ sauce on it. Don't forget condiments as well. It's amazing how much better life is with salt and pepper and a little ketchup. If you can keep them somewhat cold and have the time, boil a dozen eggs; they're pure protein and easy to handle.

Good luck. Let us know how you're doing.

Dinty Moore beef stew comes in pop top cans and is gluten free. Also Lara Bars are good. :)

I keep jugs of assorted sizes of water in the freezer. You can refreeze them or drink them when they thaw. Or use them to wash with. Our power goes off many times a year.

Thanks Violet! The ketchup advice made me laugh! It is true. Heinz ketchup was one of the first gluten free finds for my girls-on their own! I do like the egg idea! I will do this. I eat them in my salads and my 14 year old will at them too! It's the 11 year old that all she wants is scrambled eggs and sausage. I appreciate all the information and will keep in touch!

Keep an eye out. I'm in Houston, so if you watch the weather channell they are in Galveston, Texas 45 minutes away.

      @Jane02, I hear you about the kale and collard greens. I don't do dairy and must eat green leafies, too, to get sufficient calcium. I must be very careful because some calcium supplements are made from ground up crustacean shells. When I was deficient in Vitamin D, I took high doses of Vitamin D to correct the deficiency quickly.

      I do not know this, but since they are labelled gluten-free, and are not really a product that could easily be contaminated when making them (there would be not flour in the air of such a facility, for example), I don't really see contamination as something to be concerned about for this type of product.

      @Jane02, I hear you about the kale and collard greens.  I don't do dairy and must eat green leafies, too, to get sufficient calcium.  I must be very careful because some calcium supplements are made from ground up crustacean shells.  When I was deficient in Vitamin D, I took high doses of Vitamin D to correct the deficiency quickly.  This is safe and nontoxic.  Vitamin D level should be above 70 nmol/L.  Lifeguards and indigenous Pacific Islanders typically have levels between 80-100 nmol/L.   Levels lower than this are based on amount needed to prevent disease like rickets and osteomalacia. We need more thiamine when we're physically ill, emotionally and mentally stressed, and if we exercise like an athlete or laborer.  We need more thiamine if we eat a diet high in simple carbohydrates.  For every 500 kcal of carbohydrates, we need 500-1000 mg more of thiamine to process the carbs into energy.  If there's insufficient thiamine the carbs get stored as fat.  Again, recommended levels set for thiamine are based on minimum amounts needed to prevent disease.  This is often not adequate for optimum health, nor sufficient for people with absorption problems such as Celiac disease.  Gluten free processed foods are not enriched with vitamins like their gluten containing counterparts.  Adding a B Complex and additional thiamine improves health for Celiacs.  Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  Thiamine helps the mitochondria in cells to function.  Thiamine interacts with each of the other B vitamins.  They are all water soluble and easily excreted if not needed. Interesting Reading: Clinical trial: B vitamins improve health in patients with coeliac disease living on a gluten-free diet https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19154566/ Safety and effectiveness of vitamin D mega-dose: A systematic review https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34857184/ High dose dietary vitamin D allocates surplus calories to muscle and growth instead of fat via modulation of myostatin and leptin signaling https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38766160/ Safety of High-Dose Vitamin D Supplementation: Secondary Analysis of a Randomized Controlled Trial https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31746327/ Vitamins and Celiac Disease: Beyond Vitamin D https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11857425/ Investigating the therapeutic potential of tryptophan and vitamin A in modulating immune responses in celiac disease: an experimental study https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40178602/ Investigating the Impact of Vitamin A and Amino Acids on Immune Responses in Celiac Disease Patients https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10814138/

      Thank you so much @knitty kitty for this insightful information! I would have never considered fractionated coconut oil to be a potential source of GI upset. I will consider all the info you shared. Very interesting about the Thiamine deficiency.  I've tracked daily averages of my intake in a nutrition software. The only nutrient I can't consistently meet from my diet is vitamin D. Calcium is a hit and miss as I rely on vegetables, dark leafy greens as a major source, for my calcium intake. I'm able to meet it when I either eat or juice a bundle of kale or collard greens daily haha. My thiamine intake is roughly 120% of my needs, although I do recognize that I may not be absorbing all of these nutrients consistently with intermittent unintentional exposures to gluten.  My vitamin A intake is roughly 900% (~6400 mcg/d) of my needs as I eat a lot of sweet potato, although since it's plant-derived vitamin A (beta-carotene) apparently it's not likely to cause toxicity.  Thanks again!

      Hello, @Jane02,  I take Naturewise D 3.  It contains olive oil.   Some Vitamin D supplements, like D Drops, are made with fractionated coconut oil which can cause digestive upsets.  Fractionated coconut oil is not the same as coconut oil used for cooking.  Fractionated coconut oil has been treated for longer shelf life, so it won't go bad in the jar, and thus may be irritating to the digestive system. I avoid supplements made with soy because many people with Celiac Disease also react to soy.  Mixed tocopherols, an ingredient in Thornes Vitamin D, may be sourced from soy oil.  Kirkland's has soy on its ingredient list. I avoid things that might contain or be exposed to crustaceans, like Metagenics says on its label.  I have a crustacean/shellfish/fish allergy.  I like Life Extension Bioactive Complete B Complex.  I take additional Thiamine B 1 in the form Benfotiamine which helps the intestines heal, Life Extension MegaBenfotiamine. Thiamine is needed to activate Vitamin D.   Low thiamine can make one feel like they are getting glutened after a meal containing lots of simple carbohydrates like white rice, or processed gluten free foods like cookies and pasta.   It's rare to have a single vitamin deficiency.  The water soluble B Complex vitamins should be supplemented together with additional Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine and Thiamine TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) to correct subclinical deficiencies that don't show up on blood tests.  These are subclinical deficiencies within organs and tissues.  Blood is a transportation system.  The body will deplete tissues and organs in order to keep a supply of thiamine in the bloodstream going to the brain and heart.   If you're low in Vitamin D, you may well be low in other fat soluble vitamins like Vitamin A and Vitamin K. Have you seen a dietician?
