cool

Thanks for the ideas, I have no problem cooking and am quite an accomplished Gluten free cook, I am realising that I may have to start cooking everything from scratch but do not want to as I have far more enticing things to do that spend 3 or more hours a day cooking as I eat alot of food, usually 5 or six meals a day of decent proportion. If it honestly comes down to it I will just drastically reduce my food intake to make up for lost time.

<3ppm!! that is excellent, last time I checked it was 20ppm, also I am aware that the FDA states that they approve the 'gluten free' label provided it is not misleading or false (paraphrasing but pretty close),and that most companies strive to be responsible, but I still believe there should be a legal definition as we have here. Also I know that when my body has been attacked recently (auto immune response or just bad chemical reaction) my body will have trouble tolerating many foods (especially processed foods and complex sugars). I just have mass trouble processing or expressing my thoughts properly at the best of times (made even worse by gluten allergy but that's another issue altogether).

I know this is not nice but just leave some decoy muffins or something (gluten free or not) in there but remember to lace them with a decent amount of laxatives. This effectively stopped the food stealing problem I had at my workplace within a matter of days and has only resurfaced once for a VERY brief time.

Thank you all for the replies, posting this really did ease my frustration ,

Eatmeat4good, I am guessing you live in America where there is no legal definition of gluten free. I am lucky in Australia in the way that to have those two magic words on the labeling it must contain "less than 20 parts per milliion" gluten (which still affects me a fair bit). America and all other countries needs this and something very much needs to be done.

Thanks for the link Ravenwoodglass, appreciated, but you are 100% correct as at the present time I seem to be developing more allergies/intolerances every month and have trouble knowing which of the foods I'm eating is making me sick, I usually have to test everything individually at least twice to know what's affecting me. This is the reason I am not doing the things I love right now. I pray it will be okay somewhere in the future. The latest intolerance's include fish and once again lactose.

GlutenDude you are so right about the fact people have far worse things than what I am experiencing, thanks for putting that back in perspective for me.


thank you all
