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.

      Fermented foods, Kefir, Kombucha?

      I have read fermented foods like sauerkraut, pickles, Kefir, Kombucha are great for gut health besides probiotics. However I have searched and read about ones that were tested (Kefir, Kombucha) and there is no clear one that is very helpful. Has anyone take Kefir, Kombucha and noticed a difference in gut health? I read one is lactose free but when tested...

      Thanks again for the detailed explanation. Just to clarify, I actually did have my initial tests done while I was still consuming gluten.

      Blood tests for thiamine are unreliable. The nutrients from your food get absorbed into the bloodstream and travel around the body. So, a steak dinner can falsely raise thiamine blood levels in the following days. Besides, thiamine is utilized inside cells where stores of thiamine are impossible to measure. A better test to ask for is the Erythrocyte...

      Neither of them were anemic 6 months after the Celiac diagnosis. His other vitamin levels (d, B12) were never low. My daughters levels were normal after the first 6 months. Is the thiamine test just called thiamine?

      Yes, I do think they need a Thiamine supplement at least. Especially since they eat red meat only occasionally. Most fruits and vegetables are not good sources of Thiamine. Legumes (beans) do contain thiamine. Fruits and veggies do have some of the other B vitamins, but thiamine B 1 and Cobalamine B12 are mostly found in meats. Meat, especially organ...

I read one is lactose free but when tested was high in lactose so I would probably try a non dairy one. Thanks

      Thanks again for the detailed explanation. Just to clarify, I actually did have my initial tests done while I was still consuming gluten. I stopped eating gluten only after those tests were completed, and it has now been about 70 days since I went gluten-free. I understand the limitations around diagnosing NCGS and the importance of antibody testing and biopsy for celiac disease. Unfortunately, where I live, access to comprehensive testing (including total IgA and endoscopy with biopsy) is limited, which makes things more complicated. Your explanation about small-bowel damage, nutrient absorption, and iron-deficiency anemia still aligns closely with my history, and it’s been very helpful in understanding what may be going on. I don't wanna get Endoscopy and I can't start eating Gluten again because it's hurt really with severe diarrhea.  I appreciate you taking the time to share such detailed and informative guidance. Thank you so much for this detailed and thoughtful response. I really appreciate you pointing out the relationship between anemia and antibody patterns, and how the high DGP IgG still supports celiac disease in my case. A gluten challenge isn’t something I feel safe attempting due to how severe my reactions were, so your suggestion about genetic testing makes a lot of sense. I’ll look into whether HLA testing is available where I live and discuss it with my doctor. I also appreciate you mentioning gastrointestinal beriberi and thiamine deficiency. This isn’t something any of my doctors have discussed with me, and given my symptoms and nutritional history, it’s definitely worth raising with them. I’ll also ask about correcting deficiencies more comprehensively, including B vitamins alongside iron. Thanks again for sharing your knowledge and taking the time to help. I’ll update the forum as I make progress.

      Blood tests for thiamine are unreliable.  The nutrients from your food get absorbed into the bloodstream and travel around the body.  So, a steak dinner can falsely raise thiamine blood levels in the following days.  Besides, thiamine is utilized inside cells where stores of thiamine are impossible to measure. A better test to ask for is the Erythrocyte Transketolace Activity test.  But even that test has been questioned as to accuracy.  It is expensive and takes time to do.   Because of the discrepancies with thiamine tests and urgency with correcting thiamine deficiency, the World Health Organization recommends giving thiamine for several weeks and looking for health improvement.  Thiamine is water soluble, safe and nontoxic even in high doses.   Many doctors are not given sufficient education in nutrition and deficiency symptoms, and may not be familiar with how often they occur in Celiac disease.  B12 and Vitamin D can be stored for as long as a year in the liver, so not having deficiencies in these two vitamins is not a good indicator of the status of the other seven water soluble B vitamins.  It is possible to have deficiency symptoms BEFORE there's changes in the blood levels.   Ask your doctor about Benfotiamine, a form of thiamine that is better absorbed than Thiamine Mononitrate.  Thiamine Mononitrate is used in many vitamins because it is shelf-stable, a form of thiamine that won't break down sitting around on a store shelf.  This form is difficult for the body to turn into a usable form.  Only thirty percent is absorbed in the intestine, and less is actually used.   Thiamine interacts with all of the other B vitamins, so they should all be supplemented together.  Magnesium is needed to make life sustaining enzymes with thiamine, so a magnesium supplement should be added if magnesium levels are low.   Thiamine is water soluble, safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  There's no harm in trying.

Most fruits and vegetables are not good sources of Thiamine.  Legumes (beans) do contain thiamine.  Fruits and veggies do have some of the other B vitamins, but thiamine B 1 and  Cobalamine B12 are mostly found in meats.  Meat, especially organ meats like liver, are the best sources of Thiamine, B12, and the six other B vitamins and important minerals like iron.   Thiamine has antibacterial and antiviral properties.  Thiamine is important to our immune systems.  We need more thiamine when we're physically ill or injured, when we're under stress emotionally, and when we exercise, especially outside in hot weather.  We need thiamine and other B vitamins like Niacin B 3 to keep our gastrointestinal tract healthy.  We can't store thiamine for very long.  We can get low in thiamine within three days.  Symptoms can appear suddenly when a high carbohydrate diet is consumed.  (Rice and beans are high in carbohydrates.)  A twenty percent increase in dietary thiamine causes an eighty percent increase in brain function, so symptoms can wax and wane depending on what one eats.  The earliest symptoms like fatigue and anxiety are easily contributed to other things or life events and dismissed.   Correcting nutritional deficiencies needs to be done quickly, especially in children, so their growth isn't stunted.  Nutritional deficiencies can affect intelligence.  Vitamin D deficiency can cause short stature and poor bone formation.   Is your son taking anything for the anemia?  Is the anemia caused by B12 or iron deficiency?
