Kabowman and Jenvan, thanks for your replies. What is a "camping stove"? What brands are good? Does it use propane? How easy/hard is it to find propane canisters and what are the safety concerns? What is the brand name of the frig that plugs into the car? I'm hoping not to have too much to carry as sometimes I do travel alone.

I'm looking into assembling a "portable kitchen" for travelling and staying in lodgings that have electricity. What should be included? Which particular brands? 1. Camping-style cookware and tableware. 2. Toaster/convection oven with burners on top? (Or maybe just a one or two burner unit?). 3. Mini-frig? (Hmmm, this could be heavy.) How...

I ate in a Vegas casino offering a prime rib special where they brought me a salad with croutons. Before sending it back, I "marked" one of the lemon wedges with my fingernail, and sure enough, all they did was remove the croutons. I told the waitress I suspected the salad had not been redone but she reassured me (I did not tell her how I knew). I decided...

I received this email today: "On Cedar Point's web site they are now listing gluten free foods and desserts! However, they are not all available yet. I spoke with Gary Jones, Food Director and Instructor at C.P. and he informed me that he got clearance to provide all of the foods but then for some reason (probably finances) the company put the items on...

The "B12 Test" is Methamalonic Acid as VintageChick noted in this thread. It is NOT part of any of the standard blood test panels and so must be requested separately. It was my B12 deficiency that first got me on the research path that led to my celiac diagnosis. Even gluten-free I have trouble with B12 absorption (2.5 years gluten-free) so I continue...

My attitude towards food has changed. More and more I'm gravitating towards strictly meat, fish, vegetables and fruits and avoiding grains. I'm learning to make these food choices more enjoyable. I'm starting to look at eating as something that is enjoyable but NOT entertainment which is how it is often viewed in Western society. Unfortunately, most socializing...

I've been gluten free for 2 years now with many episodes of relapse (most recent 2 days ago from, I think, some ground beef from the market) that bring on the brain-fog for certain. Overall, my thinking can be very sharp if my diet is good in contrast to my months before diagnosis when I felt like my IQ dropped 30%. I also avoid a number of other foods...

Thank you for replying to my post. For those of you with osteoporosis, what treatment measures are you following now?

I have osteoporosis secondary to celiac disease and I know this is a common problem for us celiacs which is why I want to share this topic. My neighbor has taken Fosamax orally for 10 years and appears to have osteonecrosis of the jaw (bone death of the jaw) following dental surgery. Guess what--the lawyers are circling on this emerging finding. Is...

Two gallons of milk a week? Sounds like a red flag to me, if you're still exhausted. Some options: Use enterolab.com and get tested for dairy, yeast, and egg sensitivities. Use york.com and get tested for a variety of food reactions (tests different anti-body than enterolab). Join the Tuesday Club online (do a search) and try a Detection Diet...

Coconut oil is an easily absorbed fat that can help with weight gain and feeling full.

73. Take deep breaths, breathing in through your nose and blowing out gently and slowly through your mouth. Very soothing and eases pain. 74 Take Immodium if you absolutely cannot have any downtime. 75. Read a good book. 76. Listen to your favorite music. 78. Watch the news -- so many have it so much worse. 79. Indulge in your favorite...

Consider other food sensitivities. I didn't feel good until I used the Yorks Labs testing and eliminated soy, yeast, dairy, eggs, and a few other items. Good luck!

You may already know that the Bob's Red Mill web site has recipes. As a last resort, you can use the flour as filler for salmon, tuna, and hamburgers (buffalo burgers) and meatloaf. It won't go to waste that way!
