A mere decade ago, celiac disease -- an autoimmune disorder that makes it impossible for an individual to consume gluten, which is found in wheat -- was only just beginning to be understood. In fact, it wasn't even recognized as a disease at all. The ...

Unless they tell us what is in the actual text of the proposed gluten free labeling regulations "under review," it is like endorsing a pig in a poke.  It could be even worse than what we have now if it allows things like unlabeled oats or unlabeled codex wheat starch to be called "gluten free."   Furthermore, this HuffPo blog piece by Rep. Lowrey (NY) and Dr. Fassano (Boston) STILL does not mention the wayward stepchildren of celiac, the millions of merely gluten intolerant people.  At least some of the gluten intolerant are extremely sensitive to gluten and have to eat at least as carefully as a celiac or become sick, if you added THEIR numbers into the number of people who are diagnosed with celiac (from what I have seen, there seems to be quite a tug of war over this, with many different lobbyist factions DESPERATE to downplay the numbers) you can explain the startling growth of the gluten free foods market.

 

What shocked me about this blog piece was that it seems to want to cut down on the gluten free foods total that are available.  No, you healthy researcher/medical/political people still don't "get it," we want lots of gluten free (and other allergen free food for other people) widely available and safely made and labeled, because people ARE eating it, and most celiacs are still NOT diagnosed, and a lot of gluten intolerants are still stumbling around trying to figure it out, so it's still going to be a growth market.  
It's not FIBRO and it's not IBS and it's NOT AIYH.   It's gluten.

      I'm pretty sure that in stores, you can find plenty of gluten-free options. But they are usually a bit more expensive.

      Hello @BunnyBrown and welcome to the forum. I cannot say that I have had the procedure you describe, but recently I did have general surgery and was routinely intubated.  That pain was what troubled me most after the operation, far more than the operation site.  It took a few days to really settle down, I was quite badly bruised. It was taking so long I was a bit concerned so asked the question on another forum. A few patients came back to me and said they had suffered the same.  I imagine in my own case possibly the throat got bashed about a bit,  maybe they had difficult inserting the tube?  I've suffered with a painful throat post-endoscopy too, but never as long as the intubation pain.   I hope you will be feeling better very soon.   PS BTW - love the name!  I saw this today in an Easter display in a shop and your name reminded me of it.🙂

      This wonderful, Anne. I think you have a point about why people disappear off forums.  I found the first few years post diagnosis a real struggle and frankly wondered if I would ever feel better (not to dishearten people, but just to say it can take a while longer for some folk to heal).  However, once my antibodies were back within normal range it really has made a big difference to my health.  I've chosen to stick around because I'm a Mod, otherwise I might have been one of those that disappeared, too!

      Just a quick question, can the host live in any state in the USA?
