Gluten-Free Delivery Service

Hi and thank you in advance for reading my post. I work in collegiate athletics coaching and a member of my team has Celiac disease. We will travel extensively this Spring (by plane on a few occasions and coach bus otherwise) and cater all of our meals. I know she's very sensitive to any gluten and so while I trust my ability to make good decisions about what food ends up on her plate, I'm concerned that 1) I can't control whether a company cross-contaminates anyway and 2) that even if they don't, if I can consistently provide her with well-balanced meals instead of always ordering her salad while the rest of the team is eating pasta.

One thought I had was to use a delivery service of pre-prepared gluten-free meals. When we fly places, it can be delivered directly to the hotel and when we bus we'll be able to have it shipped to our office and put on ice on our bus trips until used. The two places online I've found are the following:

Is anyone familiar with these services and/or have you used another service that you think could meet our need? I really appreciate the insight. Thank you in advance for your time and response.

I haven't heard of either one, so thanks for posting!

I assume your student is knowledgeable about how to screen her food, and can tell you any addition sensitivities she has.

I think it's fabulous you're helping her find good, safe food on the road.

Try www.savorymoment.com. They are a local (Seattle) company that ships all over. I've shopped there many, many times and I like their food. I've never used their delivery service but I know someone who did while they were vacationing at the beach.

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      One doctor suggested it, but then seemed irritated when I asked follow-up questions. Oh well—

      @GlorietaKaro, your respiratory reactions to gluten make me wonder if there might also be an allergic (anaphylaxis) component at work here.
    • GlorietaKaro
      Thanks to both of you for your responses!  Sadly, even after several years of very strict gluten avoidance, I remember the symptoms well enough that I am too frightened to risk a gluten challenge— heartbeat and breathing problems are scary— Scott, thank you for the specific information— I will call around in the new year to see if I can find anyone. In the meantime, I will carry on has I have been— it’s working! Thanks also for the validation— sometimes I just feel crushed by disbelief. Not enough to make me eat gluten though—

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @GlorietaKaro! As Scott indicated, without formal testing for celiac disease, which would require you to have been consuming generous amounts of gluten daily for weeks, it would be not be possible to distinguish whether you have celiac disease or NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity). Their symptoms overlap. The difference being that celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder that damages the lining of the small bowel. We actually no more about celiac disease than we do about NCGS, the mechanism of the latter being more difficult to classify. There are specific antibody tests for celiac disease diagnosis and there is also the endoscopy/biopsy of the small bowel lining. Currently, there are no tests to diagnose NCGS. Celiac disease must first ruled out. Researchers are working on developing testing methods to diagnose celiac disease that do not require a "gluten challenge" which is just out of the question for so many because it poses serious, even life-threatening, health risks. But we aren't there yet.

      That’s really frustrating, I’m sorry you went through that. High fiber can definitely cause sudden stomach issues, especially if your body isn’t used to it yet, but accidental gluten exposure can feel similar. Keeping a simple food/symptom journal and introducing new foods one at a time can really help you spot patterns. You’re already doing the right things with cleaning and separating baking—also watch shared toasters, cutting boards, and labels like “may contain.”
