Smoky Coat

All you laundry experts-

Matt (14) went camping 2 weeks ago with Boy Scouts. It was 15 F but so windy it was -10F. He thought the weather was fine. We can start another thread about if the kid is having mental issues. My real question is: how do we get the camp fire smoke smell out of his good ( read as expensive) ski coat? I can't use detergent because it will take the waterproof off. Did wash with a Febreeze additive, dried with 3 dryer sheets. Still smells like he's making S'mores.

Any ideas? I will pass along to the other 8 boys and 4 dads that thought that was a great time?

British product, NikWax, sold in U.S. through companies like R.E.I. You can wash the coat. Rinse it thoroughly. Then follow product directions - you wash it in the washer with this stuff afterwards. Water will bead on that coat like it absolutely hates water. Promise ya. :D Phone No. 800-563-3957 if you can't find it online.

We don't have REI in the middle of the US. Will look for it. Could get my bro in Oregon or Russell to send it to me. I will look into it. Thanks.

You could try to run it though another wash using baking soda--maybe turn off the washer and let it soak for a little while before continuing.

Duh! I was thinking of putting it in a plastic tub with baking soda. Wash it with soda! Duh!

I did kinda like the idea that to save a $100 coat, would need a $350 plane ticket to the REI by Jess.

It's in the machine with a bunch of baking soda. Not sure why I am bothering. Just remembered he is camping in a few weeks.

A soak with baking soda and a wash with baking soda, 2 dryer sheets and an overnight outside....no more smoke smell!

Now all you need to do is waterproof it again with Nikwax :)

They don't sell it around here. I will have to break down and order some.

      I'm sure it's chemically perfect. Most of them taste lousy!

      Oral thrush question

      By Rejoicephd · Posted

      Hi @JulieRe.  I just found your post.  It seems that I am also experiencing thrush, and my doctor believes that I have fungal overgrowth in my gut, which is most likely candida.  I'm seeing my GI doctor next week, so I'm hoping she can diagnose and confirm this and then give me an antifungal treatment.  In the meantime, I have been working with a functional medicine doctor, doing a candida cleanse and taking vitamins. It's already helping to make me feel better (with some ups and downs, of course), so I do think the yeast is definitely a problem for me on top of my celiac disease and I'm hoping my GI doctor can look into this a bit further.  So, how about you?  Did the candida come back, or is it still gone following your fluconazole treatment?  Also, was it awful to take fluconazole?  I understand that taking an antifungal can cause a reaction that sometimes makes people feel sick while they're taking it.  I hope you're doing better still !

      Advice while waiting for testing

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I'm so sorry you're going through this—the "gluten challenge" is notoriously brutal, and it's awful to deliberately make yourself sick when you've already found the answer. For the joint pain, many people find that over-the-counter anti-inflammatories like ibuprofen can help take the edge off, and using heating pads or warm baths can provide some direct relief for the aches. For the digestive misery, stick to simple, easy-to-digest foods (like plain rice, bananas, and bone broth) and drink plenty of water and electrolytes to stay hydrated. It feels like the longest month ever, but you are doing the right thing to get a clear diagnosis, which can be crucial for your long-term health and getting the proper care. Hang in there; you can get through this! This article, and the comments below it, may be helpful:

      Gluten free beer ?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Daura Damm (a sponsor here) uses AN-PEP enzymes and filtering in their brewing process to reduce/remove gluten, and it actually tests below 10ppm (I've see a document where they claim 5ppm).

      How Come Gluten Didnt Bother Me In Italy

      By trents · Posted

      This topic has come up before on this forum and has been researched. No GMO wheat, barley and rye are commercially available in the USA. Any modifications are from hybridization, not laboratory genetic modification. Better toleration of wheat, barley and rye products in other countries is thought to be due to use of heirloom varieties of these cereal grains as opposed to the hybrids used in the USA which contain much larger amounts of gluten.
