Camping And A Picnic

I have two separate events coming up soon. Next week-end I will be camping out for two nights for a large Scouting event. Husband and I will be cooking our own food at our site. It will probably be cooked on a Coleman Camping stove..the other is a picnic.

For the camp out the food will just be for me and hubby. Husband thinks it might be worth it to make the food at home and then just take it there in a cooler and then heat it up. That might work for something like chili.

If 'possible' for the picnic I'd like to share something that even gluten eating people can enjoy. Are there any good casseroles that anyone can recommend? I can tolerate cheese btw. I'd also like to take a desert.

I will google recipes on my own but just wanted to see if you all could share what works and what doesn't!

I'm still new to this!

OK. I'm back. The oldest managed to break a glass on his way out the door trying to take his Claritin.

The foil packets would work on a stove I think. They make great stuff in dutch ovens with hot charcoal. We have made some at home, they are yummy but wouldn't work for a gas stove.

You could do burgers, eggs, anything you can cook on a stove top. If they are cooking with coals, you could bring your own cast iron dutch oven. If you decide to do that, I have a great recipe for jambalya and green chili pork or chicken casserole.

What type of thing are you looking to take! I LOVE to cook, and would like to share a recipe...but are you thinking.....mac n cheese....pasta salad....cheesey potato bake...none of these are really hard...just a bit time consuming...taco salad...let me think about desserts...I tend to just do a really big fruit salad with kiwi, fresh pineapple, strawberries, papaya, mango, grapes etc OR gluten-free cupcakes...the betty crocker ones and pipe icing...or cookies. The 123 pantry (i think that's the brand name) of brownies are SO yummy and most of my gluten friends do not even know they are gluten-free.

Have fun!!!

camping:

most important ALUMINUM FOIL and cooking spray believe me anything can be done with it.

I freeze ahead pre marinaded chicken , steak or pork chops (THICK CHOPS or they will dry out)

bring onion , peppers, mushroom and some whole potatoes, corn on cob or frozen bags of veggies if you are keeping a cooler

steak with onion , peppers , maybe mushrooms wrap in foil put on coal/grill , wrap potato in foil poke a few holes throw on butter, wrap corn in foil and toss in fire as well

Chicken in soysauce and ginger, wrap in foil put on grill/charcoal , wrap in foil sliced potato in thick slices layer with onion , peppers and butter

Pork chops in ginger, soysauce and orange zest wrap in foil throw on charcoal/grill , quarter potatoes sprinkle with seasoning salt add onion wrap in foil and grill,

If you are willing you can bring rice and try to cook it over the fire , throw in some HERB-OX bouillon into the water for flavoring

You can cook Asparagus, green beans,broccoli, cauliflower, squash etc... in foil just spray first add a little water if possible for steaming and do not leave on for too long , check every few minutes or they will be mushy.

Two quick things I like gluten-free camping. Baked potato with any gluten-free thing you can thing ofon top bacon, veggies,herbs, butter, chili etc. Also fresh bananas grilled! Pull open one end only, split banana alittle add marshmellows and chocolate chips. Pull that end up wrap in foil and grill!

Dish to share? What types of cooking methods will you have at hand? Do you plan to make ahead or there?

For the picnic I'll make it ahead of time. For methods...just about anything but frying.

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By Xravith · Posted

      Yes, you are right. Indeed, I’ve been feeling anemic since the beginning of this week, and today I felt horrible during a lecture at the university, I was trembling a lot and felt all my body incredibly heavy, so I had to come back home. I’ll do a blood test tomorrow, but I’m just worried about the possibility of it coming back negative. I’ve been eating two cookies in the morning as my only source of gluten over the past two weeks—could that affect the final result?

      New (possible) celiac diagnosis

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Judy M! Yes, he definitely needs to continue eating gluten until the day of the endoscopy. Not sure why the GI doc advised otherwise but it was a bum steer.  Celiac disease has a genetic component but also an "epigenetic" component. Let me explain. There are two main genes that have been identified as providing the "potential" to develop "active" celiac disease. We know them as HLA-DQ 2.5 (aka, HLA-DQ 2) and HLA-DQ8. Without one or both of these genes it is highly unlikely that a person will develop celiac disease at some point in their life. About 40% of the general population carry one or both of these two genes but only about 1% of the population develops active celiac disease. Thus, possessing the genetic potential for celiac disease is far less than deterministic. Most who have the potential never develop the disease. In order for the potential to develop celiac disease to turn into active celiac disease, some triggering stress event or events must "turn on" the latent genes. This triggering stress event can be a viral infection, some other medical event, or even prolonged psychological/emotional trauma. This part of the equation is difficult to quantify but this is the epigenetic dimension of the disease. Epigenetics has to do with the influence that environmental factors and things not coded into the DNA itself have to do in "turning on" susceptible genes. And this is why celiac disease can develop at any stage of life. Celiac disease is an autoimmune condition (not a food allergy) that causes inflammation in the lining of the small bowel. The ingestion of gluten causes the body to attack the cells of this lining which, over time, damages and destroys them, impairing the body's ability to absorb nutrients since this is the part of the intestinal track responsible for nutrient absorption and also causing numerous other food sensitivities such as dairy/lactose intolerance. There is another gluten-related disorder known as NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity or just, "gluten sensitivity") that is not autoimmune in nature and which does not damage the small bowel lining. However, NCGS shares many of the same symptoms with celiac disease such as gas, bloating, and diarrhea. It is also much more common than celiac disease. There is no test for NCGS so, because they share common symptoms, celiac disease must first be ruled out through formal testing for celiac disease. This is where your husband is right now. It should also be said that some experts believe NCGS can transition into celiac disease. I hope this helps.

      New (possible) celiac diagnosis

      By Judy M · Posted

      My husband has had lactose intolerance for his entire life (he's 68 yo).  So, he's used to gastro issues. But for the past year he's been experiencing bouts of diarrhea that last for hours.  He finally went to his gastroenterologist ... several blood tests ruled out other maladies, but his celiac results are suspect.  He is scheduled for an endoscopy and colonoscopy in 2 weeks.  He was told to eat "gluten free" until the tests!!!  I, and he know nothing about this "diet" much less how to navigate his in daily life!! The more I read, the more my head is spinning.  So I guess I have 2 questions.  First, I read on this website that prior to testing, eat gluten so as not to compromise the testing!  Is that true? His primary care doctor told him to eat gluten free prior to testing!  I'm so confused.  Second, I read that celiac disease is genetic or caused by other ways such as surgery.  No family history but Gall bladder removal 7 years ago, maybe?  But how in God's name does something like this crop up and now is so awful he can't go a day without worrying.  He still works in Manhattan and considers himself lucky if he gets there without incident!  Advice from those who know would be appreciated!!!!!!!!!!!!

      Patiently Waiting to See Results

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      You've done an excellent job of meticulously tracking the rash's unpredictable behavior, from its symmetrical spread and stubborn scabbing to the potential triggers you've identified, like the asthma medication and dietary changes. It's particularly telling that the rash seems to flare with wheat consumption, even though your initial blood test was negative—as you've noted, being off wheat before a test can sometimes lead to a false negative, and your description of the other symptoms—joint pain, brain fog, stomach issues—is very compelling. The symmetry of the rash is a crucial detail that often points toward an internal cause, such as an autoimmune response or a systemic reaction, rather than just an external irritant like a plant or mites. I hope your doctor tomorrow takes the time to listen carefully to all of this evidence you've gathered and works with you to find some real answers and effective relief. Don't be discouraged if the rash fluctuates; your detailed history is the most valuable tool you have for getting an accurate diagnosis.

      Gluten free beer ?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      In this case the beer is excellent, but for those who are super sensitive it is likely better to go the full gluten-free beer route. Lakefront Brewery (another sponsor!) has good gluten-free beer made without any gluten ingredients.
