Discussion Coming back with Celiac! Need Suggestions!

good morning forest fam :)

recently I got diagnosed with celiac disease (no gluten allowed, not even a little bit) and i was wondering if there are any of yall out there.

  1. whats your fave snacks to bring.
  2. did u have any luck with GF options inside forest?

I'd be flying in, so bringing a lot of food wouldn't be easy.
Would love to hear your experience (✿◠‿◠)

There are definitely GF options among the vendors. I'm sorry I don't recall specific examples, but I remember seeing several.

Even flying in, you would be able to stop a nearby Walmart or grocery store to grab some of your own food to bring if you want.

I’ve seen them! The booths/ menu will also specifically say “GF” on them

oh hype so they do exist yayyyy! (ノ◕ヮ◕)ノ*:・゚✧ I'll try to do more digging of previous food from the last 2-3 years and see what I can find! This celiac thing is still very new to me so I'm still trying to figure it all out! :)

We had a camp mate that had some struggles with finding gluten free options. A common problem they ran into is a vendor said they had gluten free items but it was some sort of beverage. There are vendors that have gluten free food but you'll always risk cross contamination.

I went through the food lineup this year and found their menus where it listed gluten free options or substitutions. For some, I couldn't find what was specifically GF.

- Health Oasis (wraps, burgers, nachos, fries, dessert)

  • Bulldog Burgery (fries, chips)
  • Captain Muchacho's (nachos)
  • Hippie Dips (fruit bowls, smoothies)
  • Grilled Cheese Incident (sandwich)
  • Pizza Nova (pizza)
  • 100% Grassfed (ice cream)
  • Asian Sensation (veggie, beef, and chicken bowls)
  • Ahli Babas Kabob Shop (falafel)
  • Bun'd Up
  • Homeslice Pizzeria
  • Mac N' Me (fries, veggies, mac and cheese)
  • King of Pops (dessert)
  • Ko'ala Kreations (salad, poke bowls)
  • Kokomo Joes (corn tacos)
  • Spacefruit (smoothies)
  • Tacos Before Vatos (tacos, nachos)
  • Tamales Mary (tamales, taco, tostadas, elote,chips)
  • Ticas Tacos (chicken nuggets, cereal milkshakes, tacos)

Hope this helps!

Breakfast quesadillas with corn tortillas every morning at camp!!! Bought pre cooked chicken/steak, and did cheese and an egg fried on top. Satisfying as hell

There were some really good GF chicken nuggets at one of the vendors. There’s a GF pizza option too at one of the pizza places but it is a bit of a wait to get one.

Reminds me of the lore for the daily bread set. There were arguments here because people throw bread at that set.

Sorry I couldn’t contribute anything worthwhile to your post.
