    Thanks to happygirl for pasting in half of my response already! Whoohoo! Less work for me! My opinion as a celiac shopper - I avoid oats. If you told me they were certified gluten free oats, I might reconsider (had I yet tested out gluten-free oats ). So, you absolutely would lose my sale by including oats without them being specifically gluten...

    Not yeast free hear, but I am gluten and dairy free. Can't really help on the cheese front - I don't bother with it. (Oh goodness yes I miss it, but goat/sheep/buffalo also don't agree with me, even though I *DO* like goat cheese. It's an acquired taste. ) Some dairy subs are best made yourself - check out some raw cookbooks for the sorts of things...

    It's hard to say it's still DH, without the biopsy, since DH requires IgA deposits in the skin. Do they generally take a couple of months to clear up (or do you eliminate iodine from your diet already when you get them)? My understanding is that the duration of them (even on a gluten free diet) is another hallmark sign. (It may seem odd to be questioning...

    Rice is gluten free - so it's not a gluten problem. But anything with a protein can cause an allergic reaction or intolerance, and rice is no exception. Open Original Shared Link Open Original Shared Link

    I know this doesn't help now, but keep looking for chains. Even when the snow lets up, even if you think you're in the clear - get chains, and keep them in the car. (We got stuck during the '06 storm and had to walk the last mile home after parking at the bottom of the hill because we had just gotten chains - *and then left them in the garage*!) They don...

    I continue to play in the snow. First, I tried to Open Original Shared Link, and Open Original Shared Link, but it wasn't designed well, so it kept Open Original Shared Link. Then the dog continues to Open Original Shared Link, Open Original Shared Link, Open Original Shared Link, and Open Original Shared Link the cul-de-sac. We also went snowshoeing...

    peanut/almond butter on gluten free bread (lots of nut butter!) avocado mixed with a can of tuna served on a corn tortilla (or eaten with chips) coconut milk based ice cream coconut milk based curries flax crackers gluten free granola (like the one from trader joes) hot cereal with chopped nuts and flax meal

    Baked Apples (aka, Apple Pie Filling) you can use almost any recipe for it, just don't bake in a pie crust and use cornstarch as the thickener

    I'd probably just double the recipe. Leftover stuffing is always good. (When cooking for 6-9 people, I do double the recipe.) Good luck! Risotto's pretty easy, just add the liquid slowly and don't go away from it too long.

    This porter thing... Fancy!

    I have a recipe with the same name, but I'll bet other people do too. If you could put a link to the recipe (or if you know who's it is), that might help. A rough estimate I use is that for every 1/4 cup of rice, it'll serve 1 person. That's pretty rough, since it's not really taking into account the other ingredients, but that's what 0th order estimates...

    Also, if you're "forced into a confession" (I love the expression; feels true sometimes, doesn't it? ), if you can ask the person you passed the food onto how the item was, find out! then you can say something like "Well, I couldn't eat it, because wheat makes me sick. So I thought my mom might like something that looked so tasty. And she told me it was...

    I'm on the eastside of Seattle, and we've got about 9.5". It's still snowing. It'll keep snowing tonight too. I'm looking at over a grand of repairs to my car thanks to ice on the roadway and cars stopped there (when I couldn't stop behind them due to the ice) and can't get out skiing on the slopes, but other than that, it's been fun. I skiied up my...

    Have you ever put lotion on your hands, and then five minutes later, nicked your finger, gotten jam on it, or for some other reason licked your finger? There's a source of ingestion. Have you ever washed your face, while you had a stuffy nose, and opened your mouth a bit to breath, and gotten a bubble or too of soapy water in your mouth? Ingestion. ...

    If I'm making gravy, I always just use the juice from the item I cooked - cooked a chicken? take the drippings/juice out of the bottom and add a cornstarch slurry. If you didn't have an item like that, you can make and freeze your own stock ahead of time, or just use buillion.
  16. tarnalberry
    is it usually the same type of juice? you might allergic.

    I'm surprised by the sandwiches, but I guess it's non-technical, so that helps. Honestly, food gets heavy over long backpacking trips. On my five day trip last year, it was about six pounds. (A pound a day is a good estimate, really.) What that means, however, is that your pack is all the lighter at the end of the trip when you're more tired. But it...

    If they're going to refuse something, they confiscate it. And generally throw it away. (I've had a number of oranges thrown away because of this when driving back home from Whistler. ) Things like bananas are ok, though.

    there's nothing that you'll be able to use for a week and not have to use again - the skin is dynamic. especially if you're in a cold climate, the indoor humidity in heated buildings is so low that it just sucks the moisture right out of your skin. so you have to keep using moisturizer of some kind. getting more healthy fats in the diet can help - fish...

    I generally just call and say, "I need to make an appointment to see the doctor." You know you need to go in, so leaving a message just is asking for a delay. And if you're confident it wasn't a case of contamination, and there are just as many non-digestive symptoms, then I wouldn't start with a GI, but your regular doc. Don't expect a call back within...

    now's the time to eat as smart as possible. I know it's hard - I had to eat on a max of $20/week the summer I worked on campus after freshman year (no meal plan or dining hall during the summer). (That was 10 years ago, it'd have to be a bit more than $20/week now, I'd think.) Cheap, but nutritionally dense foods are the way to go - only buy what's on...

    I also go and just don't eat if there isn't anything obvious that's safe. (I'll eat ahead of time, though.) If YOU are HIGHLY CONFIDENT about the choices you make regarding the food you put in your system (and aren't a blushing wallflower about it), they will pick up those signals and won't try to bully you about it. It might not be what you're used to...

    With such a young, smart dog, you may well find that it's more about training you, and the family, than the dog, strictly speaking! hehehe. My husband and I "conference" on our training consistency and technique (within the bounds of what we know) all the time. (With a family, I find this is a good idea - you can see what works for other people, where...

    Good training is vital! We did a bunch of reading ahead of time, and have been doing additional reading and learning from both a mailing list from my breeder and the training class. I'm newish at this stuff, but let me pass on the basics that are useful to get started on immediately: Pack hierarchy - now is the time to establish, and maintain, that...

    I highly recommend bell training, once he's housebroken. (BTW, if you're not crate training, I highly recommend it, and it will also help with the housebreaking. Puppy pads... eh, I don't think they're a great thing when trying to housebreak a dog who can be trained well.) We put bells on the doorknobs and rang them (and gave him the opportunity...
