Hello,
I will be coming over to the States this summer for a climbing trip, flying in to Denver and spending time in Yellowstone, Grand Tetons etc. Can any one tell me where I will be able to buy gluten free food for camping? The last time I was over quite a few years ago the only place really was Trader Joe's but I was wondering if the larger mainstream chains like Walmart are carrying gluten free lines now. Thanks in advance.

If you have access to a Costco card they have a lot of products. The Kirkland brand trail mix with M&M's is awesome! It comes in a 4lb(1.84 kg) bag and is worthy. They have already peeled hard boiled eggs in a 24 pak. Perfect Bar is a bit pricey but really good. Good luck and have a great trip! As previously stated most stores are pretty equipped with gf these days.

Pamela's brand pancake mix has saved me. I buy giant bags of it. Way better than what most other brands are- bleached white pure sugary. Available at Whole Foods consistently, and randomly at local stores but not mainstream grocery stores or Costco.
That's the only bread-like thing I've tried to keep in my diet. Most other bread-like things that are labeled Gluten Free are just gross and not worth it. Better off exploring different foods than wanna-be breads.

Walmart actually carries a huge number of organic and gluten free products. Some of their own labels, many the same you get in the smaller markets. We don't have a WalMart where I live but I went in one once. It was a little over the top, ambience-wise but I was rather impressed with the huge selection of good foods they had if that was what you wanted. I did a pretty good stock up of healthy backpacking food.

Good luck! You'll have options...

Of the options, my favorite gluten-free beer is Glutenator. Comes in bomber size bottles.

Buy eggs, meat, vegetables, and rice from literally any grocery store in the country. BAM, gluten free camping food.
Edit: For backpacking, lentils + salami and a bag of spices, cooked up in a jetboil, sure is easy (and cheap).

heard a DR on NPR going off about how 99.97% of the people who say they have a gluten alergy are simply talked into it by advertiseing. DR was pissed because it mazrginaqlizes the folks who really do have a legit problem w/ gluten.

99.97% of the people who say they have a gluten alergy are simply talked into it by advertiseing Many of the people who say they have a "gluten allergy" are actually suffering from IBS that is exacerbated by something else (as yet unknown) in wheat, not gluten. It's been found by many studies (well conducted, double-blind, placebo-controlled studies!) that some non-celiac IBS patients are helped by taking gluten out of their diet, but the more common case is that removing wheat--not just the gluten in wheat--is what helps IBS patients. Just so y'all know, there is actually medical science looking at this.
Of course, knowing that, the gluten free craze is even MORE of a crock of sh!t, because a lot of the IBS patients who are affected by wheat are also affected by whatever crap gets put in the fake "gluten free" bread. Like I said upthread: buy some meat, vegetables, eggs, and rice, don't make a fuss, and you're good to go.

Looks like there are Trader Joe's in Denver, Boulder and Ft. Collins so if you're driving north to the Tetons from CO you can stop along the way as far north as Ft. Collins.
In Jackson Hole (Jackson, WY), (i.e. Tetons) there most probably is an upscale market or two that will carry gluten-free products. You'd just have to stock up for the days you're outside of "town".

Thanks to those of you who posted a serious and informative reply. To others, I wasn't looking for a diagnosis of my health problem, I've had that from the professionals who are qualified and actually know what they are talking about. If you want to carry on the thread in order to vaunt your ignorance please feel free but since I now have the information I required I will not be revisiting it. Again, thanks to the helpful.

Wow. Big words.
No, you definitely wouldn't shop at a Wal Mart.

Co-op.
Not that cheap but hippie capitalism at its best. Diets catered to youve never heard of.
Despite the reputation as junk food central, i found the US to be good food everywhere in abundance (similar region to where you mention).
