I'm right with you on the inadequate supplies the first year expedition brought with them. No way they weren't doing some heavy rationing and food trading and hunting by the time they re-established contact with the SGC. No way.
I don't think anyone who relies on medication for chronic health issues would volunteer to go to Pegasus. I personally wouldn't want to be cut off from my supply of meds when there was no guarantee of ever getting them again. Basically I agree with everything em_kellesvig said above.
Rodney's allergy might have been a sticking point, but his benefits to the success of the expedition outweigh everything else. And they could've packed food supplies with his allergy in mind so it would be less of an issue.
When I think about that first year I also wonder about dental care, gyno care for the ladies (tampons!), birth control, even something simple like who is cutting everyone's hair. There are clothes that need to be mended. What are they plugging all their electronics into?

So many questions!
