Note that you will not have to bring an entire meal, as there will be things served that clearly do not contain gluten = fruits, vegetables, meats, cheese, nuts are good possibilities. You will only have to reject a portion of what is served. An apple is a good meal supplement. AA serves enough food on most flights that you may not even feel the need for any of your own food.
Use FEBO for seat selection to make sure you get your choice of meal in case something like pasta is on the menu. If a FEBO-advantaged seat is not available, check the menus when they hand them out to see if one meal is a big problem, if so, advise the FA of your situation before they start taking orders and they will likely keep one of the meal you can eat for you.
