I go backpacking almost every weekend and I have a hard time finding things to eat too. However, REI has a brand that is great. MaryJanesFarm is all organic foods, and the majority of them are gluten free. They are packaged in a facility that processes wheat, but I have not had any problems. Most of them are 1 and a half servings, but I split them up and make 2 or even 3 meals out of each package. The best one that I have had is the Bare Burrito. This makes 2 good sized servings. My only suggestion is to add a little spice (if you like spicier foods).
They also sell Honey Stinger bars and gels, and Nectar Cacao brand bars. They are delicious and are made in wheat and gluten free facilities.
One last suggestion for you is to buy a bag of Gluten free oats (oatmeal) from Whole Foods or wherever you get them from, and separate it into little bags. The oats take about 10-15 minutes to cook, but it is filling and you can put in nuts or dried fruit to spice it up.
