<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> Thanks for all the ideas. The first place anyone should look is the wonderful summary that Jeff Golden has on file from May 97. Get it through the WWW site directly or request : GET CELIAC TMPFILE4 from LISTSERV. I suggest a search of the site, there are a few other good suggestions in the archives. I do have a few things to add that came up and personal comments. 1. Instant potatoes. Most have mono- and di- glycerides that may cause problems. I found Bob's Red Mill potato flakes are just that, nothing else. 2. Tamarind Foods (www.tamtree.com) has Indian food in a pack, shelf stable and quick cooking, gluten free and vegan. Worth a look, price even reasonable. 3. Jerky - look carefully at the labels. There is a wide variety of stuff added to them. Depending on what else you might be sensitive too, you may have to make your own. 4. Instant powdered milk replacer. I would have to take Darifree or MooMilk, a soy free version. Jeff Golden's summary is thorough, touching on many points of packability, odor, convenience, bulk, etc. Other places to look would be under the emergency file. BHill
