    You take *no* list as gospel, but rather understand the concepts that put things on the list (or have them removed) so that you understand what makes something gluten free or not. For instance, the oats question isnt answered by something being on the gluten-free list or not, you need to know about the chance of cross reactivity amongst celiacs and contamination...

    Gluten can't be "killed", as it's a protein. The portion of the protein that causes the celiac reaction is actually a small subset of the gluten protein, and it is very stable. Heat and denaturing chemicals don't have big influences on them. (That's one of the key 'features' about gluten.) Even 600F heat isn't enough to destabilize the sequence of amino...

    the reason I asked about the soy milk was that virtually all of them have at least soy lecithin. I take it pacific doesn't have any then? that's good to know!

    Oranges have never bothered me, and I eat them constantly. But some people are allergic, and some people just can't tolerate foods that acidic. He should listen to his body.

    all terrain I can get at whole foods (used to be able to get it at rei, I think it's hit or miss there). uv natural would probably have to be ordered online, but then you could probably get it from anywhere.

    I'll get back to you this evening. What I really want to recommend is Open Original Shared Link (you wouldn't go down to the lake itself) but the fed site lists it as an avalanche hotspot. That may or may not be useful information if you're just heading up to the lunch rock, however, which has *fabulous* views. I would rate it as a moderately challenging...

    when you say "soy or gluten warnings", what do you mean? the ghirardelli cocoa powder doesn't have soy as an ingredient, but is produced in a factory that uses soy, so they'll have a trace warning (but only on Open Original Shared Link), but it's not one I'd think twice about being worried over, unless you've got a horrendously severe anaphylactic allergy...
  8. tarnalberry
    all terrain is pretty good. uv natural, if you can find it, is also up your alley, but not a lot cheaper.

    unsweetened cocoa powder doesn't have soy (soy lecithin is used for making solid chocolate to emulsify the 'liquid'). there are dark chocolates available, also, that don't have chocolate - theo, michael cluizel, chocolate bonnat, to name a few.

    what about nut flours, seed flours, coconut flour, potato flour, and so on? or buckwheat flour, which isn't technically a grain?

    I suggest Thai Ginger, just off I-90, on the way back from hiking in the alpine lakes wilderness. So, how long of a hike do you want, and how much elevation gain? There's a lot of snow left in the area, so if you're not going to have crampons and/or snowshoes, you're going to have to pick carefully. Let me know what kind of distance/elevation you're looking...

    actually, your computer should recognize it without installing the software that came with it (part of the amusing thing that is usb). the fact that your camera *also* was not recognized suggests that it is a problem with the usb port, not the ipod. if you have, or know anyone who has, a usb drive (thumb drive, whatever you call it), try that as well. ...

    I have a post with a whole bunch of recipes Open Original Shared Link that includes a number of quick ones. Keeping leftovers around is a good thing!
  14. tarnalberry
    Nope. Inquisitiveness is a good trait, IMHO, and that he asked the question shows that he remembered something!
  15. tarnalberry
    Yep. I don't avoid all sugar, just make sure that my diet is regularly balanced. Then I can afford a cookie here and there.

    You don't buy it - you just participate. "Advanced memeber" is just a label denoting the number of posts - same thing with the little blue boxes under your name next to the posts.

    Happy Birthday!!!

    There are over 200 symptoms - some contradictory. You can have constipation or diarrhea (or alternate) or you can be overweight or thin (or in between) or you can experience lots of intestinal symptoms, just neurologic symptoms, no symptoms, or something in between... The list goes on. This is why celiac is partially a diagnosis of exclusion (it's not...

    Chocolate? (*reference my sig below* ) but cookbooks are good, or a collection of printouts from online recipe sources, or other things that will make her life in the kitchen easier (like a cuisinart, if she doesn't have one).
  20. tarnalberry
    yes, damaged intestines can cause malabsorption of medication as well as food. celiac can cause depression all on its own as well, so that's a complicating factor. besides pharmacological methods (even the homeophathic ones), a well balanced diet (not too high on the carbohydrates, but seriously balanced), exercise, plenty of sunlight, and a regular sleep...

    what mamma goose said - there are some hand-me-downs that celiacs really just can't use.
  22. tarnalberry
    yep, the on-call docs (particularly something like surgery) are separate. ER's are extremely pricey. I doubt you can contest the need to pay the doctor, but perhaps insurance will be covering some of it or there can be some price negotiation? never hurts to ask.
  23. tarnalberry
    the first few months (3-4), yes, you'll actively miss them. after that, you'll be nostalgic about them. but you can have waffles and there's no reason not to get yourself a waffle maker and start making them.
  24. tarnalberry
    Given how long it's been, it's definitely worth going in on Monday. I wouldn't worry about desperately finding someone on Sunday, but there's going to be a doc around somewhere early in the week; schedule something.

    heat is good for soreness *after* the initial inflammation has calmed down. if you heat it sooner, you can make the inflammation worse, which can cause additional damage with can take additional time to heal. ice to get the inflammation down first - for a few days, and heat for soreness after the primary inflammation is calmed down. if it's still not...
