Backpacker's Pantry Ok?

Hi all,

I am wondering if anyone has had any experience with Backpacker's Pantry non-gluten containing products. I am going to be part of a backpacking trip for work in Mexico and I have to give them a what-to-purchase list. We won't have any refrigeration so I am pretty limited in what I can bring. I know that Backpacker's Pantry has an allergen guide, but I'm worried about cross-contamination - has anyone had any luck, or been glutened by their products?

Thanks!

Katie

I haven't tried their stuff for backpacking, so I can't chime in on that.

One thing you can consider doing is making your own food - many things dehydrate and rehydrate well. (Chili is great for this!)

Great question! I need stuff like this too, as we go on hunting trips. This season will be the first year I go as a wheat allergy person.

I'm still digging around the internet for anawers to the Backpacker's pantry, nothing good yet.

I did find this though. Here's a link to a forum where they are discussing gluten-free MRE's (meals ready to eat), with a link to a company that offers allergen free MRE's. I'm still studying it myself, but here is the link for you to look at too.

      Persistent isolated high DGP-IGG in child despite gluten-free diet

      That's interesting - that's a lot of gluten! I'll be very curious to see how my son responds to the gluten. In some ways, I guess having a strong reaction would tell us something? It's tough navigating this as a parent and having it be not so clear cut ;\

      Jersey Mike’s option: Gluten-free bread

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @JamieAnn!  Glad you had a good experience at your local Jersey Mike's.  In the town I live in all we have is Subway and they stopped offering gluten free buns. So, I can't eat there anymore. Oh, more recently there has come to our town a Firehouse sub shop and, according to the Internet, they offer gluten free buns but I haven't tried them yet. For super sensitive celiacs, cross-contamination in handling at these sub shops may also be a problem.

      Jersey Mike’s option: Gluten-free bread

      By JamieAnn · Posted

      Today, in Uniontown, PA,  I ordered Jersey Mike’s Italian sub on gluten-free bread (paid extra for gluten-free) for my brother who hasn’t had a sub in yrs (neorological prob if consumes). He’s so happy! Their gluten-free bread is from a company that specializes in gluten-free products, some of which I’ve enjoyed before, so figured a sub would be good!

      Most recent gluten challenge guidelines call for the consumption of at least 10g of gluten (about the amount in about 4-6 slices of wheat-based bread) for at least 2 weeks.  When celiacs have been on gluten free diets for long periods of time, they often find that when they consume a good amount of gluten, they react much more strongly than they did before going gluten free. They have lost all tolerance to the poison they had when consuming wheat products regularly. That is certainly the case with me. A couple of years ago I accidentally consumed a wheat biscuit my wife had made thinking it was a gluten free one and it made me violently ill. So, I mention that as I don't know if your son has started the gluten challenge yet.
