[pct-l] gluten-free hike

[dicentra]

Well you already beat me to the mention of quinoa! I don't have a ton of experience with this, but I can offer a few ideas.

Do you have a dehydrator? I'm thinking rice blends, wild rice, millet, barley...?

There are lots of gluten free products available now. Breads, tortillas, crackers etc. You can also try making your own (with chickpea flour etc)

I'll think more on this and try and come up with some more/better suggestions.

Hello all!
I have a peculiar dilemma.  Recently diagnosed with Celiac's disease, I can
no longer eat anything with wheat - crackers, pasta, tortillas, a lot of
granola bars...  I'm hoping someone out there has experience with this and
can help me figure out how to substitute these parts of my diet.
I have discovered and fallen in love with quinoa already, but am so used to
the crackers/cheese/sausage or tortilla/PB & J style lunch that I'm having a
hard time.  Rice crackers are an option, but are expensive and you've got to
eat about 20 to get the same effect as 5 or 6 normal crackers.
Any tips?
Thanks a bunch!
Abi
