Episode 71 – Celiac Disease, Food Storage and You Are What You Eat

Celiac Disease, Food Storage and You are what you eat.  I have celiac disease.  That makes it exceptionally difficult to store food, much less eat daily meals.  Gluten intolerance or celiac disease is a death sentence if you like to eat.  The real question is, do you eat for pleasure or do you eat to exist?  I’ve had to learn to eat to exist.  What does this have to do with modern survival living?  Everything.  We prevent disease and poor health by eating healthy.  This isn’t discussed much in survival circles.  Lots of blogs about it, but I don’t see nor hear too much of it on survival blogs or forums.  I have a lot of personal experience with this, because I have this limitation.  So you’ll get the practical usage stuff from me as usual.  Remember, I’m not a doctor, nutritionist or dietary expert.  But I am an every day person, learning to survive on a diet that’s very restrictive.  Tune in, even if you don’t have this problem, you may want to readjust some of your eating habits.

Highlights:

  • How gluten intolerance changes your food storage methods.
  • What is celiac disease?  I define it in laymans terms.
  • How does it affect eating in restaurants?
  • Short term SHTF and long term SHTF and how it affects your food storage with relation to gluten free, wheat free and barley free protein foods.
  • What about MRE’s?
  • Packing a bug out bag if you have celiac or gluten intolerance.
  • Does it help you lose weight?
  • Does it help you stay in shape?

Again, even if you don’t have this challenge (and probably most of you don’t) I bet you will gain some valuable insight as to what you should store and how to prepare healthy meals for you and your family.
