I think a lot depends on her sensitivity level. Can she eat foods tested to 20ppm? or 10 or 5? Then start with the certification agency and check out their list of foods.
The next issue is - any...

Well, I am not sure what you mean by healthy, but Oddbird is eating very little junk food because he is eating gluten and dairy free. No pizza, beer, or ice cream; but he does eat bacon & eggs and...

I've already posted notes about fats and protein sources. The rest of the nearly half a million...
I went back thru the foods and tried to get the items with the highest # of calories per ounce. Anything close to 100 calories per ounce is great. bacon bits do really well.

sbhikes, I tried them, but it has been a while. I don't think I was crazy about them, but then again, I make my own. We buy beef tallow from them, and mix it with biltong. Biltong is dried beef from...

Fat has 9 calories in a gram so that's where to start. Here's the list of foods with the...
I love ghee. I also enjoy it in my morning coffee. It gives a rich flavor, and adds fat.
