Hi again....thanks to those that answered my last question...amyleigh....you were a huge help.....thanks...

I have another question and I'm hoping someone has a direction for me to search...

I'm going backpacking and now that I'm gluten-free, my list of acceptable foods has quickly dropped to zero from what I can find. I am looking for freeze dried packets of food or what I really want are the Meals Ready to Eat (MRE's), just open and eat. No cooking or heating, just eat, but they are nutritious. I've hit the outdoor stores, looked a bit online, either loaded with wheat or barley....and oh yeah....I don't eat beef or pork....chicken is fine...so that is also narrowing the field....so if anyone has any advise...or maybe i should just do a fast...my fat belly could use a break....

thanks all..

Hi Tsunami, the gluten-free Open Original Shared Link come in MRE-style packages that might do the trick. Trader Joe's also has a few things like pre-cooked rice, tuna, etc. Thai Kitchen also has quite a few items that might work for a backpacking trip. There is always canned soup and vegetables.

there's not a wide range of stuff that you can just buy for a backpacking trip. you're going to have to make/get your own food. I take bars (lara bars, think bars, bumble bars, etc.), beef jerky, gluten-free crackers and/or pretzles, dried fruits, nuts, chocolate, and if I'm bringing my stove, I dehydrate my own stuff (like chili, or pasta, or rice dishes) and just pour in hot water and let it sit).

You can find small cans of tuna, salmon, sardines and chicken at Walmart. And some pouches too.

Thanks....I'm still in my searching phase for finding foods....struck out in Target....Walmar is great....costco has some....now gluten-free pretzels....I have to hunt for those.....and I did find a place that has gluten-free MRE's, so I'm less nervous...

I see the doc later this week.....should be interesting,....I have so many questions....and I will probably just overwhelm him with my stupidity....but oh well....

Thank you everyone....now....while im on my kayak...I will try to put all this out of my mind for a few days at least...

I have really been enjoying a couple different brands of prepackaged indian foods. They come in a vaccum sealed bag and best of all, no preservatives, most are vegetarian and many are gluten-free. You can plop a couple bags in a pot of boiling water to heat, or pour it in a pot (I use the microwave). I think that you could definately eat them without warming them up, it is fully cooked. Gateway of India was one brand, and the other was Taste of India (I think). They retail for about $2 ea. Hope this helps!

Justin's Nut Butters makes individual serving size packets of almond butter. AND, they are labeled Gluten Free right on the package! I love companies that do that!

Plus, these little things are delicious! Especailly spread on an apple. :) I take this snack with me on hikes all the time. :)

Kirkland Trail Mix available at Costco does not say "gluten free" on the label but has no gluten-containing ingredients. I have been eating it without any problems.

      Refractory or super sensitive?

      @glucel, I agree with @trents.  You can still do the AIP diet while taking aspirin.   I'm one of those very sensitive to pharmaceuticals and have gotten side affects from simple aspirin.  Cardiac conduction abnormalities and atrial arrhythmias associated with salicylate toxicity https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/3952006/ Another part of the problem is that those drugs, aspirin and warfarin, as well as others, can cause nutritional deficiencies.  Pharmaceuticals can affect the absorption and the excretion of essential vitamins, (especially the eight B vitamins) and minerals.   Potential Drug–Nutrient Interactions of 45 Vitamins, Minerals, Trace Elements, and Associated Dietary Compounds with Acetylsalicylic Acid and Warfarin—A Review of the Literature https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11013948/   Aspirin causes a higher rate of excretion of Thiamine Vitamin B1.  Thiamine deficiency can cause tachycardia, bradycardia, and other heart problems.  Other vitamins and minerals, like magnesium, are affected, too.  Thiamine needs magnesium to make life sustaining enzymes.  Without sufficient Thiamine and magnesium and other essential nutrients our health can deteriorate over time.  The clinical symptoms of Thiamine deficiency are subtle, can easily be contributed to other causes, and go undiagnosed because few doctors recognize Thiamine deficiency disorders. Thiamine deficiency disorders: a clinical perspective https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8451766/ Hiding in Plain Sight: Modern Thiamine Deficiency https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8533683/ Celiac Disease causes malabsorption of vitamins and minerals.  Supplementing with essential vitamins and minerals can boost absorption.   Our bodies cannot make vitamins and minerals.  We must get them from our diet.  The Gluten free diet can be low in Thiamine and the other B vitamins.  Gluten free processed foods are not required to be enriched nor fortified with vitamins and minerals like their gluten containing counterparts. You would be better off supplementing with essential vitamins and minerals than taking herbal remedies.  Turmeric is known to lower blood pressure.  If you already have low blood pressure, taking turmeric would lower it further. Curcumin/turmeric supplementation could improve blood pressure and endothelial function: A grade-assessed systematic review and dose-response meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38220376/ I've taken Benfotiamine for ten years without any side effects, just better health.

      Muscle atrophy in legs

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Polymyositis is a rare autoimmune disease that makes your immune system attack your muscles. Any autoimmune disease is associated with low vitamin D.   Even as a kid I had weak legs.  Now I feel the burn just walking to the mailbox. A case-control study found that patients with polymyositis (PM) had higher lactate levels at rest and after exercise, indicating impaired muscle oxidative efficiency. The study also found that an aerobic training program reduced lactate levels and improved muscle performance.

      Micronutrient Inadequacies in the US Population "A US national survey, NHANES 2007-2010, which surveyed 16,444 individuals four years and older, reported a high prevalence of inadequacies for multiple micronutrients (see Table 1). Specifically, 94.3% of the US population do not meet the daily requirement for vitamin D, 88.5% for vitamin E, 52.2% for magnesium, 44.1% for calcium, 43.0% for vitamin A, and 38.9% for vitamin C. For the nutrients in which a requirement has not been set, 100% of the population had intakes lower than the AI for potassium, 91.7% for choline, and 66.9% for vitamin K. The prevalence of inadequacies was low for all of the B vitamins and several minerals, including copper, iron, phosphorus, selenium, sodium, and zinc (see Table 1). Moreover, more than 97% of the population had excessive intakes of sodium, defined as daily intakes greater than the age-specific UL" My Supplements: Vitamin D 10,000 IU (250 mcg) DHEA 100 mg  (Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) levels in the body decrease steadily with age, reaching 10–20% of young adult levels by age 70. DHEA is a hormone produced by the adrenal glands that the body uses to create androgens and estrogens.) 500 mcg Iodine 10 drops of Liquid Iodine B1 Thiamin 250 mg B2 Riboflavin 100 mg B3 Nicotinic Acid 500 mg B5 Pantothenice Acid 500 mg Vitamin C 500 mg Selenium twice a week 200 mcg

      The paleo diet is based on the idea that the human body evolved to consume a balanced ratio of omega-6 and omega-3 fatty acids, and that the modern diet is out of balance. A healthy ratio of omega-6 to omega-3 is 1:1–4:1, while the modern diet is closer to 20:1–40:1. The paleo diet aims to restore this balance.

      Best thing you can do for them! First-degree family members (parents, siblings, children), who have the same genotype as the family member with celiac disease, have up to a 40% risk of developing celiac disease. Make sure you and they get enough vitamin D and iodine in their diet.   Iodine deficiency is a significant cause of mental developmental problems in children, including implications on reproductive functions and lowering of IQ levels in school-aged children. Vitamin D deficiency is common in the United States, affecting up to 42% of the population.
