Smoky Coat

All you laundry experts-

Matt (14) went camping 2 weeks ago with Boy Scouts. It was 15 F but so windy it was -10F. He thought the weather was fine. We can start another thread about if the kid is having mental issues. My real question is: how do we get the camp fire smoke smell out of his good ( read as expensive) ski coat? I can't use detergent because it will take the waterproof off. Did wash with a Febreeze additive, dried with 3 dryer sheets. Still smells like he's making S'mores.

Any ideas? I will pass along to the other 8 boys and 4 dads that thought that was a great time?

British product, NikWax, sold in U.S. through companies like R.E.I. You can wash the coat. Rinse it thoroughly. Then follow product directions - you wash it in the washer with this stuff afterwards. Water will bead on that coat like it absolutely hates water. Promise ya. :D Phone No. 800-563-3957 if you can't find it online.

We don't have REI in the middle of the US. Will look for it. Could get my bro in Oregon or Russell to send it to me. I will look into it. Thanks.

You could try to run it though another wash using baking soda--maybe turn off the washer and let it soak for a little while before continuing.

Duh! I was thinking of putting it in a plastic tub with baking soda. Wash it with soda! Duh!

I did kinda like the idea that to save a $100 coat, would need a $350 plane ticket to the REI by Jess.

It's in the machine with a bunch of baking soda. Not sure why I am bothering. Just remembered he is camping in a few weeks.

Now all you need to do is waterproof it again with Nikwax :)

      Symptoms after ingesting gluten

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum @Juliana82! Bleeding where? Thanks for the articles on seronegative celiac disease. As I recall, one of our moderators is seronegative and has been faithful to draw our attention to this phenomenon at different times. The heterozygous factor seronegative celiac disease is an important factoid I believe.

      Symptoms after ingesting gluten

      By Juliana82 · Posted

      Does anyone have bleeding after eating gluten? You can still have celiac disease with negative blood test results, although it's not very common:  Clinical and genetic profile of patients with seronegative coeliac disease: the natural history and response to gluten-free diet: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5606118/  Seronegative Celiac Disease - A Challenging Case: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9441776/  Enteropathies with villous atrophy but negative coeliac serology in adults: current issues: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34764141/

      GLUTEN FREE OCD MEDICATION

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      vitamin D levels in obsessive-compulsive disorder "The number of participants with vitamin D insufficient ... and vitamin D deficiency ... in the OCD group was statistically significantly higher than the control group... and also the number of participants whose vitamin D levels were in the normal range ... in the OCD group was statistically significantly lower than the control group." Low vitamin D iscommon in Celiac Disease patients. Also no lithium in drinking water (bottled water) or in areas with low ground water Lithium contributes to anxiety. Association between naturally occurring lithium in drinking water and suicide rates The EPA calculated a provisional oral reference dose (p-RfD) of 2 μg/kg-day using the Provisional Peer-Reviewed Toxicity Value   https://www.epa.gov/system/files/documents/2023-11/ucmr5-technical-fact-sheet-lithium-in-drinking-water.pdf Should we all take a bit of lithium?! Raising my vitamin D to 80 ng/ml and taking 5 mg a day of Lithium Orotate for a few month helped me.

      Toddler Diagnosis?

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      After 3 months without gluten he will have healed and his blood tests will be negative. That does not mean "not celiac, ok to eat wheat, rye and barley again.  It does mean the diet is working.  Many of those recently diagnosed with Celiac Disease are often deficient in vitamin D and other vitamins and minerals.  It's a side effect called Malabsorption.  Get his blood checked for 25(OH)D level to be sure.

      Celiac Maybe a Possibility?

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Yeah, but that's probably not where you want to eat, anyway.
