I LOVE IT!!! Now I just need to find it in the states. I'd have to remember not to take it on a plane though, how embarassing does THAT look on an airport scanner :ph34r:

I will add one here; want a quick shine on our shoes?? Take the INSIDE of the banana skin, and rub directly on the shoe...polish with dry cloth. Amazing fruit!

Great shine but I have fruit flies buzzing around my feet now. Any suggestions for controlling them?

Yes, me too! LOVE my bananas, I'm a two-a-dayer, but our kitchen is inundated with fruit flies! How do you get rid of these things?

I bought 4 tonight and I'm somewhat on the rotation diet. One tonight-2 in smoothie tomorrow and 1 for snack tomorrow. I think that works. LL

:) Thanks so much for the information-I had no idea. I have a love/hate relationship with them. I choke them down because of the D, but I like the flavor in smoothies. It is strange that it causes so many to have looser bowels-wonder what that is all about. My son is also allergic to them --that is interesting about avocados and latex. There was another thread some time ago, where we were discussing the common links between one food allergy to another. Zack hasn't had guacamole because he would never try it because he said it looks too gross, but now I am glad he hasn't. Thanks for that information too. See how much pain and suffering you all spare us with your experiences!!!btw-penguin you are too funny. I am so glad you are on this forum. :) Edit--I once bought some bananas that had a baby tarantula on them. Gotta watch out for those nasty buggers.

This really is interesting stuff. My son has a mild oral allergy to carrots & apples. He can eat them, but they sometimes make his mouth & throat tingle. He also suffers from hay fever, & I'm sure there is a connection with the pollen proteins.

      Sainsbury's Free From White Sliced Bread - Now Egg Free - Completely Ruined It

      In the U.S., most regular wheat breads are required to be enriched with certain B-vitamins and iron, but gluten-free breads are not required to be. Since many gluten-free products are not enriched, we usually encourage people with celiac disease to consider a multivitamin. In the early 1900s, refined white flour replaced whole grains, and people began...

      Sainsbury's Free From White Sliced Bread - Now Egg Free - Completely Ruined It

      Thanks for this Russ, and good to see that it is fortified. I spend too much time looking for M&S gluten-free Iced Spiced Buns to have ever noticed this! That's interesting, Scott. Have manufacturers ever said why that should be the case?

      Sainsbury's Free From White Sliced Bread - Now Egg Free - Completely Ruined It

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      In the U.S., most regular wheat breads are required to be enriched with certain B-vitamins and iron, but gluten-free breads are not required to be. Since many gluten-free products are not enriched, we usually encourage people with celiac disease to consider a multivitamin.  In the early 1900s, refined white flour replaced whole grains, and people began developing serious vitamin-deficiency diseases: Beriberi → caused by a lack of thiamin (vitamin B1) Pellagra → caused by a lack of niacin (vitamin B3) Anemia → linked to low iron and lack of folate By the 1930s–40s, these problems were common in the U.S., especially in poorer regions. Public-health officials responded by requiring wheat flour and the breads made from it to be “enriched” with thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, and iron. Folic acid was added later (1998) to prevent neural-tube birth defects. Why gluten-free bread isn’t required to be enriched? The U.S. enrichment standards were written specifically for wheat flour. Gluten-free breads use rice, tapioca, corn, sorghum, etc.—so they fall outside that rule—but they probably should be for the same reason wheat products are.

      Keep in mind that there are drawbacks to a formal diagnosis, for example more expensive life and private health insurance, as well as possibly needing to disclose it on job applications. Normally I am in favor of the formal diagnosis process, but if you've already figured out that you can't tolerate gluten and will likely stay gluten-free anyway, I wanted to at least mention the possible negative sides of having a formal diagnosis. While I understand wanting a formal diagnosis, it sounds like she will likely remain gluten-free either way, even if she should test negative for celiac disease (Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If her symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet, it would likely signal NCGS).

All serological markers continue to increase, and the doc who did the scope said there villous atrophy visible on the scope — but we just got the biopsy pathology report back, and all it says is, “Duodenal mucosa with patchy increased intraepithelial lymphocytes, preserved villous architecture, and patchy foveolar metaplasia,” which we are told is still inconclusive…  We will have her go gluten free again anyway, but how soon would you all test again, if at all? How valuable is an official dx in a situation like this?
