Recently, I was diagnosed with Celiac Disease (can't have any food with gluten in it) which meant a radical change in diet.  For the most part, it's been a smooth transition to a gluten-free diet since I was a simple eater to begin with.

While doing local rides isn't a big issue for food purposes, I can see where longer rides (bikepacking) might be an issue.

The Bonk Breaker bars (energy and protein) along with Kind Healthy Grain and Van's Natural Foods snack bars are all gluten-free so they would be lightweight to carry in quantity.  There's options for gluten-free cement, er, oatmeal as well.  Apples and banana's are good too but the banana's can end up being badly bruised after jostled around in a backpack.

A major issue with a gluten-free diet is not enough fiber.

Anyone else in the same boat and have some suggestions?

Thanks

Dried bananas are becoming more common these days - and I don't mean those silly banana chips.  I mean plain old dried bananas with nothing added.  Chewy and delicious.  Check your local natural food store.
