Emergency Survival Food - ingredients?
-
Thank you both. I've done a bit more research (and of course, my facebook feed is now fit for survivalist). Thinking to stock in some backpackers food and maybe a couple of the big cans of vegetables that some of the emergency food sites have. That should all be good at least a couple of years and I can eat them as they near expiration. Water is a good point...

Ok, I'm going to start to answer my own question - it looks like to get meals that are free of these ingredients, you need to go to backpackers/hikers freeze dried food. Which is a lot more expensive and has a shorter shelf life (the longest I've found so far is 5 years). But I could see getting my own tight seal bucket and storing up a supply of these if...

gluten-free PASTA
Nikki2777 replied to Lockgirl's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
My go to dried pastas are Ancient Harvest, Le Veneziane and Bionature. All good, but probably Ancient Harvest is my favorite. Holds its shape and doesn't get mushy, has a little flavor. -
I get EOS. They have lots of varieties and all gluten free.

The recent hurricanes in the Southeast and other natural and man-made disasters have got me thinking. Food pantries and charities that try to provide food for people affected by these disasters can't possibly be relied on to get us safe things to eat. So what do we do? I went online and started looking at the ingredients in those survivalist type emergency...

I don't know, as I haven't tried it yet and didn't get in touch with the company. May do that this week.

Gluten after all?
Nikki2777 replied to Femke's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
I'm so sorry you're going through this. It does sound like you've been through a lot and likely do have some sort of gluten sensitivity. Unfortunately, the mind-body connection is also having a field day with you and hopefully you're coupling your physical recovery with trauma work. At the risk of sounding simplistic, could you also be sensitive to sesame... -
Hi - I bought this on a whim, as it didn't have any gluten ingredients as far as I can tell. I'm not too concerned about shared facilities, as I feel like big companies such as this must clean their equipment well between runs, but before I take the plunge, does anyone know for sure? The only thing that concerns me is that they do have other meals labeled...

Thank you!

Hi - I know this is a longshot, but on a whim and in a rush the other day I bought this lipstick. I do use several drugstore brands safely, but I liked the color. I don't see anything on their own website about gluten, but SkinSafe (?) - a site I'm new to - says it's "free of gluten". Anyone safely use this? Thanks!

Eating breakfast in diners
-
Yes, it's sad - unless it's a place known to do well by Celiacs (there are a few where I live), I won't get eggs at a diner, other than soft-boiled in the shell (and most diners won't do that.) As I'm not getting eggs, I don't get bacon either, but I imagine the issue would be similar. It's a real shame, and one of the things I miss most.

First Thanksgiving Gluten Free
-
I've searched and haven't been able to find this exact answer - is there a chance that Brewer's Yeast or yeast extract from barley could be in Natural Flavors in the US without being explicitly called out in the ingredients? I've recently bought something with Natural Flavors and thought it would be safe based on what I'd thought I'd read, but some are saying...

First Thanksgiving Gluten Free
Nikki2777 replied to Jane07's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Trader Joe's has gluten-free cornbread mix, stuffing, gravy and pie shells at this time of year. Whole Foods and Williams Sonoma has a lot of these, too. They definitely help! -
Feel like celiac is back
Nikki2777 replied to Sabaarya's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
I think the problem is a misunderstanding of the word 'healed' here - there is no cure for Celiac. Healed only means that the villi have gotten back into the shape that they are supposed to be. But they are not the cause of the Celiac, just a symptom. The cause is the auto-immune disorder. So, even with 'healed' villi, you still have Celiac and any gluten... -

Thank you, Scott! This looks really helpful.
