No. :angry:

Well, not on the West Coast anyway. April and May have been the wettest and coldest on record. It's miserable out there. I bought a new COAT today.

Here on the prairies it is finally getting green. Most trees are now leafed out. But our lawn is brownish as it is so very dry. My gardening zone is Zone 1a - an average of just 87 frost-free days per year. Yuck if you are a gardener like me! So, coming here from lush green Croatia to the odd tree here and there this week has not been pleasant. We're still getting frost at nights so most have not planted gardens yet. I plan to tomorrow.

i would eat some gluten for a million dollars. i dont know if i would eat it for a CHANCE for a million dollars. but if it was a done deal- yes. would be worth the pain. i mean- i just got glutened on sunday from PF changs- 2 nights in a row i was on a heating pad and pillows compressing my whole trunk (front side)... groaning and wishing i could have an epidural for the pain- and i didnt get crap. no money :blink:

oh and the lara bars would hurt too... same as gluten.

Wait Wait Wait!

You are all breaking the imaginary rules of my hypothetical situation. You don't have Lara Bars and you can't use your children as bait. :P

You are not prepared! You have nothing except the standard emergency kit in the cruise ship life raft which contains 3 days of drinking water, high calorie/high protein bread, some fire starting stuff, flares and a first aid kit.

There. Now what? Huh?

Can I use your children as bait? :)

Will my hub and boys be there? Can I keep my earrings and the clothes we were wearing when the ship went down?

Edit: I missed this part. We get a fire starting kit? And it's not my son M? This is fab!

I finally got around to checking and yes, we can get some in Canada! I just checked the website and am astonished at all the yummy-looking flavours available. Key lime pie? Chocolate chip cookie dough? Where have I been? :lol:

I was really sad when I found out I couldn't have Clif bars anymore. But, if I wasn't out looking for an alternative, I never would have tried Larabars!

My gent's big into backpacking and wilderness survival. Food is actually the last thing you worry about. You try to find/make drinkable water, shelter, and fire first. Number 1 cause of death in the wilderness: exposure. Most people can go a long while without food. :)

I came to this discussion very late -- I think I would do as the Donner Party did, only draw straws to see who would be bait and food :P Eat most of the short straw, reserving the rest for bait, and keep using bait for bait until you couldn't stand the thought of another bloody fish..... Ok, OK, I know these are your kids, but in the animal world sometimes the males eat the young, so we are animals..... :ph34r:

Totally agree! Good ideas!!

And given my experiences the past few years, I can attest to the fact that you can indeed go a long time without food,(ugh) but without hydration...YIKES!!! Ditzy head anyone??? :lol::blink:

Or worse - an island in northern Alberta in January??!!

I would love to be stranded on an isolated island with my husband, away from the maddng crowds.

But to reiterate what I said earlier, I would eat gluten if my life depended on it.

There. Now what? Huh?

Most important is finding drinking water and shelter

I don't have gluten issues but if I did, I wouldn't eat it. I keep looking for survival type food and it all seems to have gluten!

dont let my experience for sure ruin your plans. my friend & i went to PF Changs TWICE in one week- 1st on a wednesday- and we ordered Singapore Street Noodles & Beef Fried Rice (off the gluten-free menu)... and it was FABULOUS !!!! SO DELISH, no problem whatsoever. we went back Sunday for the same items... plus, she had a scoop of vanilla ice cream (i did not). afterwards, we both felt more full than before.. but not sick... during the night i had pretty bad intestinal cramps that kept waking me up (but i ALSO have gluten like reactions to corn starch, potato starch, excess fructose, excess carbs... so i really wasnt too suspicious yet- she woke up nauseaus and had a rash over her chest. at this point- i thought i overdosed the starch and she got glutened from the ice cream. but my pain was RELENTLESS for a good 2-3 days... ???? but yet my forearms never itched like they do when i have trace amounts of gluten ????? so i HONESTLY am not sure i was glutened, but am suspicious, and will go talk to their manager. i wondered too if there's more Damian Cardone people in kitchens across the country??

Lara Bars bother me cause of the Dates.. too much fructose.

yikes...let's hope there aren't any more Damiens!! :unsure:

Fructose causes what kind of reaction, may I ask? I'm trying to figure out why I am bloated still...I feel much better and it's not gluten doing it...but...I have a bit of a pouch going down there (I had been stick- thin preDX...

edited...scratch that... I read about fructose malabsorption...I don't think that's it..!maybe I am just gaining weight :D

My son, M, wants to know when we are going to this island? He is looking forward to it. Sounds relaxing. He & his dad are spending a week in northern Minnisota/Canada canoeing and camping. They may not even see anyone but their little group of 9 for the whole time. They must catch fish or they will be hungry because they can't carry much food.

      Aaaackkk!!! Stop with the Omeprazole! It's not good, especially if taken for a long period of time!!! Gerd and Acid Reflux are actually caused by too little digestive enzymes resulting from nutritional deficiencies in Thiamine B1 and Niacin B3 that are needed to make digestive enzymes. Omeprazole is a proton pump inhibitor that has been shown...

      Osteoporosis: Does the body start rebuilding bones after starting a gluten-free diet?

      By Bogger · Posted

      Thanks for your reply I’m a nearly 69yr old female. My only medications are Fosamax and Lamotrigine for seizures. Thank you for that drugs.com link! There are soooo many common side effects for Reclast and almost nothing for Fosamax. Since it’s working well and I haven’t had any side effects from Fosamax (stomach bleeding, pain or upset) my doctor recommends it first over Reclast. Reclast is introduced into a vein thus bypassing the stomach which avoids all those stomach issues. But, once it’s in me, it’s there for a year or so. Any complications can’t be undone. With Reclast, I’m concerned about not being able to treat dental issues, several weeks of bone pain and the chance, although rare, of kidney damage. Plus all those other dozens of common side effects. It’s a very effective drug but looks pretty complicated to deal with. Hopefully I’m not just being a big chicken. In 2018 I fell and broke my ankle in two places. It took three screws to put it back together which is normal for that surgery. There was no mention of any difficulty or signs of bone loss. Thanks to my dog, I fell about a month ago onto a concrete floor with thin carpet. I landed on my left hip, then my spine, one vertebrae at a time, then clunked my head on the door frame. Twisted my wrist too. It was all in slow motion waiting to feel a crack that didn’t happen. Went to the ER tho. Amazingly, I didn’t even see any bruises. Thanks again for that link. I need to read through it some more. My doctor’s appt is next week when I’ll make the big decision.

      Aaaackkk!!!  Stop with the Omeprazole!  It's not good, especially if taken for a long period of time!!!   Gerd and Acid Reflux are actually caused by too little digestive enzymes resulting from nutritional deficiencies in Thiamine B1 and Niacin B3 that are needed to make digestive enzymes.   Omeprazole is a proton pump inhibitor that has been shown to cause continuing villi damage to the small intestines!        Factors associated with villus atrophy in    symptomatic coeliac disease patients on a gluten-free diet https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28220520/ Proton Pump inhibitors reduce digestive enzymes which results in poorly digested food.  If the food is not broken down by the digestive enzymes, then the nutrients cannot be released from the food and cannot be absorbed by the villi.  Damaged villi cannot absorb nutrients from food.  PPIs block Thiamine B1 transporters, so that thiamine cannot be absorbed.  PPIs reduce the production of the intrinsic factor required for Cobalamine B12 absorption.  The absorption of other vitamins and minerals are affected as well.    The Effects of Proton Pump Inhibitors in Acid Hypersecretion-Induced Vitamin B12 Deficiency: A Systematic Review (2022) https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36545170/ Proton Pump Inhibitors like Omeprazole should be used only on a short term basis, like two weeks.  Continued use can cause nutritional deficiencies because PPIs prevent the absorption of vitamins and minerals.      Profound Hypomagnesemia Due to Proton Pump Inhibitor Use-Associated Wernicke’s Encephalopathy: A Case Report on Excitotoxicity https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC12618944/    Proton pump inhibitors and risk of vitamin and mineral deficiency: evidence and clinical implications https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4110863/ Vitamin and mineral deficiencies contribute to health problems like Non Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease and Chronic Renal Failure and Osteoporosis.    Association between dietary intakes of B vitamins and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease in postmenopausal women: a cross-sectional study https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10621796/    The association between proton pump inhibitors and hyperparathyroidism: a potential mechanism for increased fracture-results of a large observational cohort study https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37530847/ Regular Proton-Pump Inhibitor Intake is Associated with Deterioration of Peripheral Bone Mineral Density, Microarchitecture, and Strength in Older Patients as Assessed by High-Resolution Peripheral Quantitative Computed Tomography (HR-pQCT) https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC12546302/ Vitamins and minerals are essential to our health and can prevent disease.
