Came through Hurricane Ida after 10 days with no power, which is no joke! We are all okay though, after going to random places with ac including a friend's house after she got back power.

But - relevant - It's a good thing I had stocked up on a lot of gluten free meals (I'm a bit of a prepper) because every place we went that was giving people food after the storm - hot food, MRE's, anything, it was all: pasta, sandwiches, cookies. I had to wait until we returned to my 90 degree house to eat anything at all.

Exactly one time someone made a batch of super healthy low salt, gluten free, vegetarian food some place (rice and beans).

Just things to consider if you live in any kind of disaster zone, get some gluten-free ready to eat meals because otherwise you're going to starve!

Hi ButWhatCanIEat,

I am glad to hear that you are ok. Hurricanes are no joke! I was just thinking about it the other day. It would be hard to find something to eat in your situation! Thanks for the advice.

This is excellent advice! I too have been under mandatory evacuation several times in the last 5 years due to the wild fires here in Santa Rosa, CA. Our family has been stuck in our house for a week or more each time, unable to leave or go shopping, get deliveries, etc., so we have some idea of how important this is. 

We also keep a good amount of canned and dry foods on hand that will last us for weeks, just in case. We also have a generator, battery backups, etc.

      celiac, chocolate and alcohol

      By barb simkin · Posted

      I did nor read the chocolate pkg as it was of fered to me and I ate 2 pcs. I do know that only very dark chocolate and and a very few others are gluten free. Most alcohols contain gluten. I have several yrs of not knowing my celiac condition as docs would not do the test. After looking on the internet about my sufferings I insisted on the gene trsting which showed positive for gluten insensitivity and a biopsy on my next colonoscopy that also showed positive which could not help the damage done to my small bowel. So I very rarely have a glass of wine

      @barb simkin, are you sure the chocolate products are gluten-free and not "manufactured on equipment that also handles wheat products and tree nuts", i.e., cross-contamination? And what kind of alcoholic beverages are we talking about? Most beers are made from gluten-containing grains. Just checking.

      I have had a reaction to chocolate within 2 hours, severe abrupt dieherra.  With alcohol it can extend up to 12 hrs before the first reaction, but not as severe as chocolate.  I am also allergic to all fish and carry an epihpen.

      Neuropathy still after 4 months gluten-free.. help

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Welcome to the forum @oyea, have you ever been screened for celiac disease? You symptoms sound like they could be celiac disease related.

      Since chocolate has a laxative/stimulant effect on the digestive system, similar to coffee, some people do report IBS-like symptoms when they eat it, however, as long as the chocolate is gluten-free, the cause of such symptoms would be unrelated to celiac disease.
