Anyone on this board limited by the same restrictions? Any good gluten free/easy to make/light weight meal ideas? How about gluten free freeze dried or dehydrated meals? I know alpine air has a few gluten free meal offerings, anyone have experience with these? |

As you undoubtedly know, there are many grains such as rice and quinoa that are gluten free. These can be used as the base for dinners and even breakfast. Corn meal (polenta) and grits. You can also get gluten free oats. Cereal is an easy gluten free breakfast. Nuts, GORP, or gluten free food bars for lunch and snacks. As I'm sure you know by now, all meats, poultry, fish, fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds, beans, lentils, and many grains are naturally gluten free. If you want to mix up your own, you'll just need to read the labels carefully on things like foil-packed meats and fish, and processed foods. There are many things you can eat. I don't think it will be a big problem. Good luck. |

Here is the line up for our trip: Wild rice soup with vegetables and TVP GF mac and cheese w/ salami Falafel w/ rice pilaf Chickpea curry stew with sweet potatoes Fried rice w/ vegetables/chicken Mung Dal (lentil or mung bean dish) with corn tortillas instead of naan bread We have started making our own ramen broth and use the lotus foods noodles. They are delicious and when you build your own broth it is fabulous. BTW, Bragg Liquid Aminos are a GF alternative to soysauce...available at most co-op food stores. |

I do not know of a good and quick lunch though. I think the glycemic index of most gluten free snacklike things might be high. Maybe dried fruit, beef jerky, and wax wrapped dry cheese. Edit: the mash potato packets, and dehydrated hashbrowns are also gluten free. |

NotLight: " Oh - my - gosh NotLight! Thank you for posting this! I'm so excited to try this. Having some rice tonight and hoping like heck I can tolerate it well. The rice pasta and rice ramen looks AMAZING! Lotus Foods ps. everyone (me) should just try the search bar more often. I'm finding all sorts of great information from years past! |

Tried this Rice Ramen Soup and it was pretty good. Single serve packets like regular ramen, but a bit less salt. Cooks in a couple minutes. |

straighthairedcurly: "BTW, Bragg Liquid Aminos are a GF alternative to soysauce...available at most co-op food stores. I've found that I prefer the San-J Tamari soy sauce, which is a pure soy product, unadulterated by wheat. As a bonus it tastes much better than the other soy sauces and is readily available at supermarkets here. |

MN_Lindsey: "NotLight: " My son is GF, and so I've learned to adapt a lot of our meals. There are tons of options, we don't miss anything. Lotus makes a great rice noodle and ramen. I think my favorite gf backwoods meal is to make pad thai! I think the mountain house or whatever pad thai meal is gf, but one can easily make one to bring along on the cheap. We like THAI brand rice noodles. I'll post a link of a great website below as well, thruEAT has some awesome recipes, and you can sub gf noodles for any that involve pasta just sub gf pasta...I've found the corn-based ones work best. Don't precook and then dehydrate, just cook in the woods. Sub corn tortillas for wheat. His creamy basil chipotle penne is to die for. Rice crackers for regular. OH, and Pringles are GF! Shephards Pie! Chicken Thai Curry! Endless options. thruEAT Link |
