I Went Camping For The 2Nd Time Since Diagnosis

Well... my boyfriend is a HUGE 4x4 truck enthusiast. He has 2 rigs that are specifically for off roading purposes. Consequently we take these rigs to remote places and drive over lots of rocky terrain. He has rock crawler and a prerunner or something like that. It is very confusing keeping all the classes straight. It's his hobby that I support but not quite understand. He has a forum for his trucks. I have a forum for my bowel. LOL

Anyway... we went to the big King of the Hammers race in Johnson Valley last week. I prepared a TON of food to bring that would make me feel like we were at home and never deprived. I brought burgers, beef stir fry, southwestern chili, baked potatoes, pancakes, chicken tacos, rice pasta with sausage, took apart 2 rotisserie chickens and bagged it. Brownies. The menu was kinda insane! We were there for 3 nights and 4 days. We traveled about 10 hours to get there. I didn't have to take any special potty breaks this time - just the routine fueling and bathroom breaks. I am very proud of myself for that one! :)

 

I ended up bringing home half the food we brought because there was no way we could eat it all. I am glad to over prepare than under prepare. In all honesty I thought I was going to feed 2 of his friends on the trip. But the owner of the race team owns BBQ Island and of course made BBQ the entire time and fed his whole pit crew. So extra food for me this week!

For anyone that thinks it's impossible to camp or go to remote places... it's not! Go for it. They make portable toilets lined with bags if there are not any regular toilets offered at your location. We brought our toilet but the event was so huge that had porta-potties all over.

 

Sadly our race car didn't finish the race. Out of like 150+ cars only like 30 or so finished. Fastest car was like 8 hours and some change. Ultra 4 racing is tough!

 

It was quite the experience. If you're into the off road races.. that is a big one to go to!

Sounds like a great trip! (I'm hungry now, thanks) We decided on camping this year (June) as it was easier than finding somewhere to eat GF. Can't wait now :D (But we only have a tiny car so we won't be offroading ;))

Yay! I love camping!! I bring my labrador always. Honestly camping gluten free is not any harder than regular camping. Have fun planning the menu! hehe.. you could do some doughnuts or something in the car! ;)

      Gluten migranes at night

      The first symptoms I had of coeliac disease were migraines. I think your doctor needs to test you for coeliac disease. The fact you are having migraines at night is interesting, but I never used to drink enough and my headaches were worse when I woke up in the morning. Dehydration was also a big cause for me.

      Gluten migranes at night

      I'll ask the same question that knitty kitty asked? On what basis did your Dr arrive at the conclusion that you have gluten intolerance? But let's be clear about terminology because the terms "gluten intolerance" and "gluten sensitivity" are typically used interchangeably out there in the wild and both are used indiscriminately to speak of two different...

      Gluten migranes at night

      Interesting....my Dr says since migranes are my only symptom she says I have gluten intolerance. I have stopped eating gluten. However, it seems to sneak in from time to time. Example: I ate canned mushrooms! Never thought canned mushrooms could have gluten, but they did. I had a migrane for 3 nights straight. Or I eat out, I think I am getting gluten free...

      Gluten migranes at night

      What medicine did they give you for migraines? Does it help much? I also suffer from migraines and am on one med for prevention and another for relief after onset. Many times, my headaches start during the night when I'm sleeping but not always. Have you cut back on gluten consumption of late? As knitty kitty explained, you must have been eating generous...

      Gluten migranes at night

      How did your doctor arrive at the gluten intolerance diagnosis? You may want to consider finding a different doctor, one who is more familiar with Celiac disease. To be properly tested you will be asked to undergo a gluten challenge. I'm attaching an article below. Also consider getting a DNA test to look for the genes needed for Celiac disease...
