Why worry if your food might be set on a glutened plate, or if there is corn in your restaurant salt?

I had a "car oven". It plugged into the 12 volt outlet in the car. I was able to warm one or two servings in it. The cost was about 40 dollars. It lasted for a year or two before our rough treatment did it in. I found this oven would not heat frozen food or large amounts of food. But refrigerated to warm could be heated eventually or kept warm.

I have seen advertised a travelbuddy oven. They do have a website. They are said to be used by pizza delivery companies. It claimed to get hot enough to bake a pie. I sure would like to have that in my car. The cost is about 200 dollars. Think of all the glutenings it could prevent, and the convenience on a long car trip. :P

I got a portable microwave. You can carry it to an outlet in a rest area. I also have a cooler which plugs into the car. They are both handy on trips.

check at a Truck Stop for items that can be used to cook or heat food and for 12volt plug in coolers... or try a national truck stop chain website, like Flying J or Travel Centers of America. You can find info that way, or find an RV sales place, they sell such items also.

Oh, a toaster oven would work like that!

Summer is coming - I'll bet you could reheat frozen food in your car just fine by parking on the street with your windows closed for an hour! :P

      Diana, I replied “ready,” but I’m brand new to the site and don’t know if I replied via the correct place.  I would like to participate.

      Luke warm bath (deep) with a handful of Epsom salts, and bath for about 20 minutes.  Be careful getting out of the bathtub, the magnesium (Epsom salts) can make you feel a bit woozy.  I've suffered from costochondritis, might be what you have?  I find rest very helpful, and avoid any foods that bloat you as this can put added pressure on the ribcage.

      Are you saying that celiac causes you rib pain?  Or that your ribs are fragile due to being celiac?  Or that the vitamins you take act as an analgesic, and that OTC pain-relievers do not work for you?  I don't understand the connection.

      I am so discouraged!  I would rather not eat... or even eat junk (with the expected result)... than cook!  I have been gluten-free (hah) since 2016.  But my husband eats tons of bread, biscuits, cake, muffins... you name it.  Everything on the SCD that's illegal, he eats.  And buys it and brings it home, many times in trying to please me!  Please don't suggest we have a heart-to-heart talk;  been there, done that.  He truly is unable to change.  ONE reason is that culturally, we are opposites.  Another reason is that he is in his 80's and isn't about to do something he doesn't want to.  If I don't cook for him, his nutrition would be less than poor. My mental state is going from bad to worse.  He is also declining mentally (memory, reasoning) and physically, and that makes me want to cry all the time; that, or be angry. My celiac symptoms are not completely resolved, just somewhat better. I have just read the book re SCD, wish I could try that diet (cause it promises a cure) but the learning/implementing curve is more than I can handle if I have to cook the way they say is necessary. I live in an area with poor medical help; I tried the (only) dietitian listed in my area who is celiac knowledge certified, but she doesn't accept my insurance.  I'm on my own. I am hypothyroid, and on HRT.  Cannot tolerate Buspirone; anti-depressives are ineffective due to gene mutations (I've been tested). Can anyone help?  Or not....
