Hurricane Ike Is Coming!

glutenfreewithease Rookie

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.

      plant sources of calcium, such as spinach, have calcium bound to oxalates, which is not good. best source of calcium is unfortunately dairy, do you tolerate dairy? fermented dairy like kefir is good and or a little hard cheese. i do eat dairy, i can only take so much dietary restriction and gluten is hard enough! but i guess some people do have bad reactions to it, so different for everyone.

      i take b12, folate, b2, b6, glycine, Nac, zinc, vk2 mk4, magnesium, coq10, pqq, tmg, creatine, omega 3, molybdnem (sp) and just started vit d. quite a list i know.  I have high homocysteine (last checked it was 19, but is always high and i finally decided to do something about it) and very low vitamin d, 10. have been opposed to this supp in the past, but going to try it at 5k units a day. having a pth test on friday, which is suspect will be high. my homocysteine has come down to around 9 with 3 weeks of these supplements and expect it to go down further. i also started on estrogen/progesterone. I have osteoporosis too, so that is why the hormones.  anyway, i think all celiacs should have homocysteine checked and treated if needed (easy enough with b vit, tmg). homocysteine very bad thing to be high for a whole host of reasons. all the bad ones, heart attack , stroke, alzi, cancer..... one of the most annoying things about celiacs (and there are so many!) is the weight gain. i guess i stayed thin all those years being undiagnosed because i was under absorbing everything including calories. going gluten-free and the weight gain has been terrible, 30#, but i'm sure a lot more went into that (hip replacement - and years of hip pain leading to inactivity when i was previously very active, probably all related to celiacs, menopause) yada yada. i seemed to lose appetite control, like there was low glp, or leptin or whatever all those hormones are that tell you that you are full and to stop eating. my appetite is immense and i'm never full. i guess decades or more ( i think i have had celiacs since at least my teens - was hospitalized for abdominal pain and diarrhea for which spastic colon was eventually diagnosed and had many episodes of diarrhea/abdominal pain through my 20's. but that symptom seemed to go away and i related it to dairy much more so than gluten. Also my growth was stunted, i'm the only shorty in my family. anyway, decades of malabsorption and maldigestion led to constant hunger, at least thats my theory. then when i started absorbing normally, wham!! FAT!!!

      Great advise there I agree with the aniexty part, and the aura migraine has I suffer both, I've also read some great books that have helped I'm going too look the one you mentioned up too thankyou for that, I find a camomile tea just a small one and a gentle wind down before bed has helped me too, I suffer from restless leg syndrome and nerve pain hence I don't always sleep well at the best of times , racing mind catches up I have decorated my whole house in one night in my mind before 🤣 diet changes mindset really help , although I have to say it never just disappears, I find once I came to terms with who I am I managed a lot better  , a misconception is for many to change , that means to heal but that's not always the case , understanding and finding your coping mechanisms are vital tools , it's more productive to find that because there is no failure then no pressure to become something else , it's ok to be sad it's ok to not sleep , it's ok to worry , just try to see it has a journey not a task 🤗

      I agree there I've tryed this myself to prove I can't eat gluten or lactose and it sets me back for about a month till I have to go back to being very strict to settle again

      You may also need to supplement with B12 as this vitamin is also involved in iron assimilation and is often deficient in long-term undiagnosed celiac disease.
