Camping For 3 Days

We're going camping for 3 days. I rented a rustic cabin with a kitchen so I can cook. The problem is the fridge is one of those really, really small ones. I'm bringing a lot of stuff from home since my DD and I are avoiding quite a bunch of foods. Hubby can eat anything. So I'm just worrying that I'll be spending my entire time in the kitchen and that I'm just bringing my work there. I hope not.

I should have asked for tips for camping, tips on food and all that. I feel like I'm taking a ton of stuff, not just food but other things too.

What did you bring as far as food(for those who've gone camping while gluten-free/DF/SF)?

Thanks!

When I went camping, I kept it simple....I prepared a lot of stuff at home so that I could enjoy the trip, and just have to heat stuff up...Breakfast was bacon and eggs...made in my own pan and enough made for everyone ( I camped with 3 other non-food allergy friends)...For Lunch, I had made some Gluten free rolls and just had sandwiches, all the veggies were pre-cut and just needed to be piled on the bread. For dinners, I had pre-made a Gluten Free pasta salad that lasted me the entire trip with enough to share...I BBQ'd Chicken on a disposable grill and cooked baked potatoes in the camp fire...Also cooked some apples in the campfire for dessert...I had no kitchen..just a Coleman Stove and the campfire (oh, and my little disposable grill), but I had no problems and had a great time without spending the entire time cooking!! I also had popped some popcorn and gotten a bag of plain potato chips for snacking.....It took me some time at home to get ready for this, but I was really glad that I did because it meant spending more time with my friends and less time worrying about food!!

If your husband can eat anything than he can eat what you do. We recently went camping and I was fine. Hubby had his snacks and bread, had the same butter. Just a matter of being careful and watch for CC. I would say relax and enjoy.

I went camping this past weekend - I brought gluten free chips and crackers (and lactose free cheese) for munching; gluten free sausage and muffins to go with eggs for breakfast; veggies and chicken and ribs (on the grill) for lunch/dinners.

One of our quick favorites is: a can of black beans, a can of niblets corn, a chopped onion, tomato, cucumber, advocado & pepper. Mix all together in bowl with gluten-free catalina dressing and eat with gluten-free corn chips. You can modify or add more cans depending on your family and tastes. I have also browned some hamburger meat, and had it on the side. This throws together super fast and cleans up easy.

Baked potatoes in the fire pit are great too. I have added peppers, onions, and corn too. Just wrap in foil and remember to turn. If you need meat, you can roast sausages on a stick.

Have fun

Thanks everyone, it wasn't as bad as I thought, I still had to cook but it was alright. I kept it simple, well our meals at home are simple anyway.

Having a cabin with a kitchen definitely helped a lot.

      Question on if i can contact my gastro doctor whenever?

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      In the US you don't need a referal to see a specialist if you are self pay. PPO you can go directly to any specialist or doctor you prefer. HMO you’ll choose a primary doctor to manage all your care. Pricing of the insurance will vary, as will prescriptions coverage.

      Welcome to the forum, @lsky! In Canada I believe your healthcare system is totally socialized so I doubt if you have the option of making direct appointments with specialists. In the U.S. it is becoming more and more that way as most people here now are covered by some government managed healthcare network and almost all providers and specialists are part of those networks. Here and there you will find independent providers that take private pay only but it is the exception. Both in Canada and in the U.S. I believe there is a concerted effort to always keep the PCP in the loop.

      I have had celiac disease since i was 7 and i've recently had worsening symptoms, I live in canada and the doctors right now are horrible so my general doctor never puts in my referrals or she does it wrong and i have to wait months-years for an answer. I was wondering I already have a Gastroenterologist, could i just contact him and ask to book an upcoming appointment? i'm not sure if it's different in canada or not.

      Symptoms after ingesting gluten

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum @Juliana82! Bleeding where? Thanks for the articles on seronegative celiac disease. As I recall, one of our moderators is seronegative and has been faithful to draw our attention to this phenomenon at different times. The heterozygous factor seronegative celiac disease is an important factoid I believe.

      Toddler Diagnosis?

      By Wrensmith · Posted

      With such a weak positive, his got may or may not be cleared in three months. My daughter when diagnosed at the age of seven had a TTG score of 388. It was 18 months on a gluten-free diet before her levels returned to normal. it seems to me that when you started something that allows your son to gain weight, as he clearly needs to do, you may want to keep doing it.  Sometimes you just need to figure out the science of it as you go along. Have you been tested?  That’s how I found out I had celiac disease, was after my daughter was diagnosed, and the recommendation given to me was that all of her first-degree relations should be tested as well. I came back with a weak positive when I was on a largely, though not entirely, gluten-free diet (cooking for my newly diagnosed child). good luck with everything.
