Nadine and White Water Warehouse have brought their resources together and have created a fun and unique gluten free rafting trip!

Having a significant food allergy like gluten intolerance can make people wary about eating out or even taking a vacation. Assurances that the food will be gluten free do not always hold up and then the consequences dramatically impact the quality of the vacationer’s experience. Nadine and the gluten free chef accompanying her on this unique outdoor adventure, will make sure the foods that you are served are not only gluten free but delicious as well.

This is a vacation where you can have true peace of mind-no worries about the food being served you, just focus on the fun. Nadine is confident that this trip will address almost any food allergy because the food will be fresh, organic, and free of allergy causing substances. So the added benefit is that if you have food allergies other than gluten, this Oregon rafting trip will also be the perfect vacation.

Do you have questions about what this trip will be like? Check out the gluten-free frequently asked questions page: http://www.whitewaterwarehouse.com/special-adventures/gluten-free-trip-faq.aspx

The dates for this gluten free 2011 Oregon rafting and kayaking trip are Sunday, August 21 (starting about 9 a.m.) through Tuesday, August 23 (ending about 5 p.m.). The cost is $1140/adult and $1080/youth (17 years and younger) and is all-inclusive. This cost covers all meals from lunch the first day through lunch the last day, 2 nights lodging, guides, gear, government fees, shuttle back over the mountain at trip’s end, Nadine’s expertise (she will be on the trip with you), and the gluten free chef’s skills at each evening dinner and breakfast meal. Whitewater Warehouse will prepare delicious, gluten free lunches riverside each day.

Interested in joining Nadine on this unique trip? Just give the friendly folks at Whitewater Warehouse a call at 1-800-214-0579 today to reserve your space(s). A $300 per person deposit will secure your spot. Or email us at fun@whitewaterwarehouse.com

A Free Public Lecture by

Gretchen K. Vannice, M.S., R.D.

Is there something fishy about our diet and the brain? Can depression and
mood disorders be related to our diet? Research shows there is less
depression in countries that consume more omega3s.
Good fats make a difference and getting them is easier than you may think.

Learn the evidence behind omega3 fatty acids in depression and mood
disorders. Omega3 fatty acids: what they are, how to get enough of the right ones; learn dietary intake recommendations, based on your health status. This talk will review practical steps you can take and how to read labels. There will be time for questions and discussion. No registration necessary.

Gretchen Vannice, registered dietitian, is a Health Educator and Nutrition
Consultant specializing in omega3s. She has coordinated clinical research
trials in the US and Europe, is a public speaker, published author and
international trainer. Ms. Vannice is Chair of the International Science
committee for the Global Organization of EPA & DHA Omega3, an Executive board member of the Omega3 Learning Consortium and recently published an Editorial in the Journal of the American Dietetic Association

Date: Thursday April 7th 2011
Time: 7:00 – 8:30 pm
