Anyone have ideas about eating in Yellowstone/Grand Tetons? We're travelling there for a week, and I'm trying to plan my meals. We will have a cooler and hot pot, but no stove top or grill or microwave. Thanks for any suggestions.

Are you camping or staying in a hotel?  If camping, start looking for a propane small camping stove.  You can find them at garage sales or they should be on sale at Walmart.  A stove top can make it easier and you need no electricity.  If staying in motels, ask for a microwave.  But your hot pot  (I am assuming it is like my Instant pot) is so versatile.  You can make just about anything!  Prepare lots of soups and stews in advance.  Freeze and then reheat in the pot.  I would not leave it unattended in a motel (they might frown on it too).  I take my hot pot in the RV.  Usually, because I am on vacation, I prep as much as possible in advance (frozen bags of cooked chicken, pork, ground beef, besides chili and stews), so that I get a break from cooking.  Have it frozen as it will keep longer in the cooler.  Pack your cooler according to use (like I am not going to have chili until mid week so I am going to bury it deep).  Save foods like canned tuna, salmon, pasta, spaghetti sauce, rice for the very end as they require no refrigeration.   

Look at camping websites for  valuable and common sense tips.  

You will have so much fun!

This is good stuff. I was going to post to get idea's on how to deal with road trips. My wife and I want to travel out west (Yellow Stone or Grand Canyon) but eating is always a concern. I am not a fan of any restaurants but I will take me wife to eat anywhere she likes. I need idea's on to store food or prepare food for the trip. We like to rent cabins but sometimes we stay at Hotels. Just curious on how folks deal with this. I assume, like cyclinglady says, to prepare a lot of food in advance. I do enjoy grilling and cooking so I have no concern about that. I just wonder how it will work out on the road...Man things really change with celiac disease.

I have just come off two weeks of traveling - had to fly to nj for a wedding, had to drive to fl for the birth of a grandkid :) - flying is more of a pain than driving is lolz - I had to check a bag bc I was bringing sandwiches/food and you can't go through security with it.  after I checked it, we just 'foraged' after going through security.  I was surprised at how many snickity snacks you can get that are safe!

when we are driving, I just take an extra suitcase with things I think i'll need depending on where we are going.  I usually make a rough 'meal plan' - including places to stop that have a good rating on find me gluten free.  I take a cooler, I make a few sammiches, etc - I have an insulated backpack I keep snacks in for the car, we usually hit the grocery store when we get to wherever.... once I got used to plan a, plan b, breakfast, lunch and dinner (and being ok with compromising like that time after my father in law's funeral when everybody decided to go for Chinese, mleh, I just heated up the cheesesteak I brought)  I used to bring EVERYTHING lolz, but i'm getting it down to a science.  after awhile you stop freaking out and it's like an adventure :D

      My bone structure is disintegrating and I’m having to have my teeth removed

      There’s a Cosco in Auckland in New Zealand. It’s a bit away from where I live but it’s worth the travel for me. Very appreciative of your advice.

      Celiac Maybe a Possibility?

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      It seems you have proven that you cannot eat gluten.  You've done what your doctors have not been able to do in 40 years. That's your low vitamin D, a common symptom with Celiac Disease.  Zinc is also a common defiency.  Its an antiviral.  that's why zinc gluconate lozenges work against airborne viruses.  Vitamin D and the Immune System+ Toe cramps, I find 250 mg of Thiamine helps.   When I started GFD I counted 19 symptoms going back to childhood that improved with Gluten Free Diet and vitamin D. I still take 10,000 IU a day to maintain 80 ng/ml and get it tested 4 times a year. Highest was 93 ng/ml and that was at end of summer.  Any excess is stored in fat or excreted through bile.   The western diet is deficient in many nutrients including choline and iodine.  Thats why processed foods are fortified.  Celiac Disease causes malabsorption of vitamins and minerals from the small intestine damage.  GFD stops the damage, but you will still have symptoms of deficiency until you get your vitamins repleted to normal.  Try to reduce your omega 6:3 ratio.  The Standard American Diet is 14:1 or greater.  Healthy is 3:1.  Wheat flour is 22:1.  Potatoes are 3:1 while sweet potatoes are 14:1.  So those sweet potatos that everyone says is better than Russet: they are increasing your inflammation levels.

      Weird Symptoms

      My mother also has celiac disease, and one of her symptoms for many years before her diagnosis was TMJ. I believe it took her many years on a gluten-free diet before this issue went away.

      Weird Symptoms

      By Jeff Platt · Posted

      Ear pain and ringing your entire life may or may not be TMJ related but could be something else. A good TMJ exam would be helpful to rule that out as a potential cause from a dentist who treats that. I have teens as well as adults of all ages who suffer from TMJ issues so it’s not a certain age when it shows up.

      Weird Symptoms

      By cristiana · Posted

      Not sure if related to coeliac disease but my ear ringing  has stepped up a notch since diagnosis.  Even since a child silence really hurts my ears - there is always a really loud noise if there is no other noise in a quiet room - but my brain has learned to filter it out.  Since diagnosis in my forties I also get a metallic ringing in my ears, sometimes just one, sometimes both.  But it comes and goes.   My sister also suffers now, we are both in our fifties, but she is not a coeliac, so for all I know it could just be an age thing.  I do get occasional stabbing pain in my ears but that has been all my life, and I do appear to be vulnerable to outer ear infections too.  So not a particularly helpful reply here, but I suppose what I am trying to say is it might be related but then again it could just be one of those things.   I think in the UK where I live doctors like you to report if you get tinnitus in just the one ear.  I reported mine but no cause was found.  Most of the time it is nothing but sometimes it can have a cause that can be treated, so perhaps worth reporting to your GP.
