Gluten free emergency long life food

[brigala]

I haven't read all the replies yet, but I read enough to see that a lot of people aren't really understanding the extent of your restrictions. 

This isn't going to help with the short-term, but I would recommend you start socking away money when you can, and purchase a freeze dryer when you're able to do so. 

That way you can prepare the foods that work for you, and store them away for long-term emergency supplies. 

Everything you mentioned, from vegetables to goat's milk (except ghee), can be freeze dried and properly stored for years. 

The big down side is that freeze dryers are expensive. I got mine as a "scratch and dent" and still paid almost 2 grand for it. I rarely buy myself "luxury" items but really wanted this and saved up for quite a while to get it. Mostly, for me, it's a toy; but it also comes in really handy because I am free to do things like attend camp with my kids and easily bring and prepare my own food. And the food I've stashed away since I bought it last summer has been a great stress reliever now that we are trying to avoid going to the store.

I managed season sardines and dried apricots by mariani.

Looks like I was far from being overly worried, but it's easier to bully a sick older woman, who doesn't have much, I guess.

My living conditions are not anyone else's business. I cannot have a freezer. I just wanted to ask for brands other sensitive people manage to eat.

Same that and Thrive Markets are the only two I really never had issues with.

Wholesome brand sugar.

Season sardines, and wild planet canned fish. Tuna, white anchovy and sardine in water.

Epic pork rinds salt flavor

Bragg's nutritional yeast. 

Epic buffalo tallow fat

Origin 846 olive oil.

I've managed to add these.

Gin gins candy was pretty horrific reaction. Tasted amazing though. Terra chips were also no go.

Del Monte green beans are on the try it menu today. My state is on lockdown. Good job I stocked up.

And the DH is back with a vengeance, and my stomach is bad and I'm not able to stay awake. 

I think it's the vitamins. Who knows. But I have to eat something.

I think the important thing here is that people are vastly over reacting to the Corona virus. The flu has killed 20x more people in the last month as the Conrona virus. I don't see a situation where food shortage happen.  There may be some temporary changes to our lifestyles if your area sees a large number of cases. It may not be a good idea to have a couple of weeks of food on hand but many people have at least a week's worth in their home at any given time. It may be good to pick up some extract canned veggies and meats. The main reason would be that if we get dense outbreaks you may want to avoid going to the store for a couple weeks just to stay out of highly trafficked areas. 

It's really no more deadly than the flu but it will be like there being the flu x2. 

So, there's a strong chance that if it's not like the flu and it tends to go away when spring comes around that we could see essentially 2x number of sick people we currently see in flu season. Now just going on my own situation, my department at work has 20 people, 4 people have had the flu this year. Instead of 4 with flu might see 4 with the flu+ 4 with Corona. 

That's on the high end of the odds probably that we'd see 40% of people getting the flu or corona virus. Also take into account that the Corona virus can range from a runny nose to even more serious than the flu. In fact, more than 80% of people with Corona virus don't experience symptoms as bad as the flu.

The same people susceptible to the flu are susceptible to Corona virus and for most people you are likely to be less ill than if you were to get the flu. 

 

Post didn't age too well, did it, buddy!
