Gluten free disaster kit recommendations


sddave

Recommended Posts

I live in earthquake CA.    After recently being diagnosed and seeing Harvey I was wondering what are good gluten free disaster kits or options.  I'm looking for meals that will fill me up like a regular (or close to) meals and will last for at least two weeks.

I see some on Amazon.   But wondering if there are more lower cost options out there from other places (like REI, etc.).   I don't live in a house where I can stockpile and takes up a lot of space.   So I'm looking for products where I can add water (freeze dried).    Maybe put in a backpack.

Meal Replacement Shakes in powdered form, Non Dairy Vegan Protein Bars, Mountain House makes Breakfast gluten-free options of Freeze Dried Eggs, Sealed Nut Butters in jars, Dried Veggie chips, Canned Progresso soups with gluten-free options, Canned tuna/salmon/meats, Bags of dried seeds/nuts.  NON dairy bars and shakes tend to have a longer shelf life depending on the fats used in them, storing them in a fridge or freezer extends it to years. Same with Nuts and seeds store them vacuum sealed in a freezer for long term, or keep a large stock and use them on rotation so you always have a few months supply of fresh  (I do this) I also keep stocks of like Miracle Noddle MRE soup and noodle kits not a lot of calories but good comfort food. NOTE, seeds and nuts keep longer raw, I normally buy raw and roast them few lbs at a time as I need them, not like they have to be roasted. But this way you do not have to worry about them going rancid as fast.

Long term Emergency intended options from mountain house and Augason Farms, Click the Gluten Free check box but all the plain meats are, the plain eggs, and they have some gluten-free entrees

^has some GREAT options for EVERYTHING......I am going to get some of the veggies lol simplify soup making. Hindsight stick with Augason Farms over Mtn House, they claim they do testing for the gluten-free catagory. But Mtn House has some more options, bit of a trade.

Freeze Dried Meals are the best option. They can be stored for a long time and some of them are gluten-free. You can prepare them by just adding hot water. Available on Amazon and all big stores.

      The forms that vitamin and mineral supplements come in can be important. Bioavailability (i.e., how well they are absorbed) is often sacrificed for the sake of cost and shelf life. The vitamin or mineral you are targeting is always chemically combined with other elements to make them into a dispensable form (such as a powder, liquid or a pill) and to give them some chemical stability for shelf life.

      Thank you so much! I will look for that.

      @llisa, back then when you tried magnesium and it upset your tummy, I'm guessing you were using the most common form of magnesium found on store shelves, namely, magnesium oxide. It has a reputation for having a laxative effect. It is not very well absorbed and so draws a lot of water into the colon, just like the laxative known as milk of magnesia. I'm guessing if you would switch to the "glycinate" form of magnesium you would not have this problem. Magnesium glycinate is absorbed much better. If you can't find magnesium glycinate at your local stores, you can order gluten free brands of it off of Amazon.

      I've tried magnesium before. Twice in 2 years. It really upset my stomach. And that was before this celiac disease diagnosis. (Finally, after 2 years of trying to find out what was wrong with me.) I have no idea how sensitive I am. When my stomach was upset, I'd go to my comfort foods: cream of wheat, cheese and crackers, scrambled eggs and toast...so, making myself worse by trying to feel better.  Just got results of biopsy yesterday, so today is first day of trying no gluten and reading that it can be hiding in vitamins and meds. So, I welcome ALL advice and personal experiences. No advice is too basic. I know nothing. Thank you!

      Have you considered also supplementing with magnesium and zinc? We usually recommend these two as well. D3, Calcium and Magnesium all important for bone and nerve health.
