    I've not really had any issue with it - no one saying I'm a freak or that I can have just a crumb. Of course, there is *nothing* apologetic in my tone, very "the sky is blue" matter of fact tone. Some people have heard of it, some people haven't - everything on the spectrum. I think it varies significantly by geographic location and sub-culture you're...

    I've had two - the scratches on the back didn't hurt, though some of them tickled *a lot*, and you can't move, so I wouldn't describe it as pleasant! (it was in the lower area, and I had a *lot* of scratches.) they followed up with subdermal testing, however, which was not painless (it's a shot of the allergen under the dermis), so it's worth asking the...

    you can do a search for past posts about this topic, to get other suggestions. where in Seattle are you staying? (I don't want to recommend something in Bothell if you're staying downtown without a car. )

    pretty much only when I took risks - ate at a restaurant (trying to eat gluten free), or missed something on an ingredient label. but I think the "don't worry about crumbs" advice is silly. why ignore contamination (he's describing "factory cross contamination", where the "factory" is your kitchen) when you can avoid it?

    I think boiling or not boiling before hand will depend on the lasagna you're making. I generally am making a not-terribly saucy, vegetarian, cheese-less lasagna, so I don't have a whole lot to continue cooking the noodles, and they don't stay in *that* long. If you're doing something heartier, and it's going to be in the oven a while, they may well have...

    it's absolutely worth trying all the supplements, but if the RLS is affecting your sleep, don't wait until you've given each of those two to four weeks to kick in. I was on (still am) all of those supplements (in plenty large doses - yes I did the research, and the testing), even before I developed RLS, and man, I wouldn't wish that nervous system freak...

    on yogurt, on cold cereal, on salads, in rice/quinoa/millet recipes, in muffins, breads.

    for the lasagna noodles, to make lasagnaI always do a full rolling boil for ~12 min (or a bit under whatever is not the energy saver method), then drain them, rinse them in cold water, and try to separate them a bit. then make my lasagna. it's worked every time. I dislike the "let pasta sit to finish cooking" methods because the "stirring" action...

    just be upfront about it. say, "based on additional research on the median price of jobs of this type in this area, I believe we should start salary negotiations in this range". it's not like HR doesn't do *exactly* the same thing, only with the hopes of you putting out a lower number first. (if you're asked, 'why the change in story?', say "I did more...

    hemp oil, tea oil (not tea tree oil, tea oil - from republic of tea), and hazlenut oil have all been staples in my pantry, and look like they might be alright? (tea oil also has a much higher smoke pint than EVOO, which will give it a spot in pan frying and whatnot - pricey, but it has it's uses.) I also use fish oil for omega-3's.

    what are you worried about reacting to in corn? gluten? the only glutens that celiacs react to are found in wheat, barley, rye, and some celiacs react to the gluten in oats. the gluten (plant protein, so I'm using the term generically here) in corn is very different from those, and doesn't cause a reaction in celiacs. the same is true for rice, millet...

    what part of an almond contains fructose?
  13. tarnalberry
    many different corn chips. (technically, they don't have fructose, but a more complex carbohydrate.) if it has to be packaged, how about one of the things I had on my hike today - almonds. (really, though, what's the purpose of looking for the prepackaged foods for? time? don't like cooking? there are ways around these issues without having to...

    the ingredients in a pure dark chocolate are cocoa, cocoa butter, sugar, and vanilla and soy lecithin are optional. that's all you *need* to make a pure dark chocolate bar. quite honestly, though, after touring more than one chocolate factory, even an artisanal one, the chances of finding a chocolate bar that's made on lines dedicated to not having...

    they've had that warning on there for a long time - four or five years at least. unfortunately, sometimes it gets cut off in the printing, but it's been there.

    I'm assuming that you've tried high quality chocolates? you can get gluten free chocolate, dairy free chocolate, and soy free chocolate (and chocolate that's a combination of all of the above). pure cocoa power, even, is generally fine and can be used to make hot chocolate, brownies, chocolate pies, or a number of other things. but I'm assuming from...
  17. tarnalberry
    the chocolate making process (from beans) involves roasting and conching - something I've not seen done in small kitchens... you might want to find a local chocolatier and see if he/she is willing to help give you any one-on-one guidance.

    there's a whole thread, started recently, discussing places to eat in seattle. (it's the Washington thread)

    I like the stuff at Flying Apron in Fremont. (The packaged stuff in the store isn't as good, imho. But the fresh stuff, including just going their for lunch, is good.) There's Open Original Shared Link in the u-district (the soy cheese isn't very good, but the rest of it's fine ). There's Open Original Shared Link between Fremont and the U-District...

    I'm in Newcastle, just south of Bellevue.

    I, my very picky and not-gluten-free husband, my family and my picky and not-picky not-gluten free friends all enjoy the pancake mix. It's what I always use for pancakes or waffles.

    ugh, that's no fun. did you guys not have water treatment?

    the avenin protein in oats is somewhat similar to gliadin in wheat. approximately 10% of celiacs will react to it.

    If it's hypoglycemia - it's a condition known as reactive hypoglycemia. if you were to continuously test your blood sugar, you'd find that it would dip at a certain point, maybe to a low-normal, but to a point where *your* body thinks is low. (reactive hypoglycemia has a characteristic curve to blood sugar after a glucose challenge.) it's not that you...

    there's not a wide range of stuff that you can just buy for a backpacking trip. you're going to have to make/get your own food. I take bars (lara bars, think bars, bumble bars, etc.), beef jerky, gluten-free crackers and/or pretzles, dried fruits, nuts, chocolate, and if I'm bringing my stove, I dehydrate my own stuff (like chili, or pasta, or rice dishes...
