Camping Food

Here are a couple of recipes that make good camping food. My Boy Scout sons and Boy Scout dad like them. While they don't need to be gluten-free, they realized that these would work for mom or gluten-free Scouts.

Cobbler:

Disclaimer: They have not used the gluten-free Betty Crocker but someone told me they work well. I think you may need 2 gluten-free mixes (I don't have one to check the size)

Line a Dutch oven with several layers of foil. Our troop's Dutch ovens have never had food touch the surface as they are too lazy to wash them so use foil and more foil.

Put in 2 cans of pie filling. Sprinkle 1 cake mix (might need 2 gluten-free) on top. Cut up half a stick (1/4 cup) of butter or margarine and drop on top. Put on lid. Cook 30-45 minutes with hot coals on the bottom and the top).

OR:

Make cake mix according to directions (maybe 2 Betty Crocker gluten-free). Put the 2 cans pie filling in and then pour batter on top and just barely stir.. Bake 30-45 minutes with coals on top & bottom.

Good combos are : Cherry pie filling with chocolate cake. apple with spice cake (add cinnamon to powdered yellow mix.) Yellow cake with peach.

Hub wanted you to know about the best foil dinner any of the adults have ever had.

Chicken Fajita:

2 raw chicken tenders or chicken breast cut (1/4 to 1/2 lb.)

1 cup frozen pepper & onion mix (could do fresh but this is less CC potential)

1/2 cup quick/minute brown rice

3-4 tbsp salsa

Stir Fry:

Same as above but use stir fry frozen vegs and gluten-free (LaChoy) Soy sauce & chicken broth or water for 4 tablespoons

And of course the classic foil dinner:

1/4-1/2 lbs hamburger patty

1 cup froz or fresh veggies

1 cup thin sliced or small square cut potatoes

1/4 -1/2 cup gluten-free BBQ sauce, broth or salsa

Cook these foil packets on top of the coals for 20-30 minutes. Don't even need plates!

Have also known people who do these in the home oven or grill.

I like your classic dinner in foil. I have never done that with ground beef, though I have camped often. So with the addition of the other ingredients it would bake rather than steam. Great idea!

Banana boats - slice a banana lengthwise, place in tinfoil and place marshmallows and/or chocolate on top. Seal. Place on grill.

Smores - the usual only use gluten-free graham crackers.

      Progesterone pills - are they gluten free??

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Mettedkny! Your ttg-igg numbers are elevated but what about your ttg-iga numbers? Were your ttg-iga numbers elevated at your original diagnosis? The reason I ask is because elevated igg antibody test scores are more likely to be caused by something else besides a celiac reaction to gluten. The ttg-iga test is considered to be the centerpiece of celiac disease blood antibody testing. But some people are seronegative for the iga celiac tests, particularly if they are iga deficient. If they are iga deficient, the igg tests can be helpful. Have you ever had a "total iga" test run to check for iga deficiency?

      Progesterone pills - are they gluten free??

      By Mettedkny · Posted

      Not sure where to start - been diagnosed for 17 years, and for 16 years my bloodwork has been perfect. Last May I started on HRT (estrogen patch & progesterone pill) for post menopausal symptoms, and to help with mild osteoporosis. In June my Gliadin IgG numbers suddenly went up to 59 (from previously being below 5 for 16 years). Did a deep dive on the progesterone pill manufacturer (Aurobindo) to ensure that the medication IS gluten free - and was told multiple times that there is no gluten in the pills. The pill is the ONLY thing that has changed, and my son, who is also celiac has perfect numbers.  Scoured my life to try and find out where the gluten could be coming from and the only thing I found was a tea I drank that had "possible wheat straw" (had been drinking this tea for about 5 years with no issues - and was confirmed by the manufacturer that their tea is certified gluten-free despite the "straw") - cut the tea out thinking that it MUST be the tea. Repeated the blood test 3 months later and it dropped to 55 - not indicative that the gluten has been found and removed from my diet. Had bloodwork done again yesterday and it is now 95 😳 I am completely floored. WHERE is it coming from??? I am SO careful. Would NEVER cheat, don't eat out and like I said, my son has NO issues and his number is 3 (as of yesterday). Has anyone had a problem with progesterone pills? It is the only variable that I can think of, but how do I prove that it is the problem without discontinuing to take the HRT (which I really need for post menopausal symptoms, sleep, anxiety, brain fog and hot flashes).

      Gluten intolerance in toddler?

      That’s a good thought, I didn’t think of that aspect of waiting longer! Thanks

      Thanks for reporting back @Nicbent35! You seem to understand the options and the risks. So, it is a decision you will just have to make. But you don't have to make it right away. You might consider keeping her gluten-free for a while yet. I would give it six months before considering adding gluten back in. Make sure the improvement you are seeing is due to removing gluten and not something else that will pass such that you see a reversion to former behavior and symptoms.

      Difficulty with doctors

      By trents · Posted

      If you have been on a strict gluten-free diet for several years, it would be normal for testing to show no evidence of celiac disease. No gluten, no inflammation. No inflammation, no antibodies and healing of the small bowel lining would result.  Personally, I think the doc gave you bad advice and I feel confident that trialing a return to gluten consumption would not be the advice that the vast majority of GI docs would give you. If I were you, I would seek a second opinion before resuming gluten consumption.
