Gfp-what Is Going On?

Hey, has any of you fellow posters noticed that gfp is so mellow lately? and nice? What is going on? Quite frankly, Steve, I am disappointed in the posts I read, lol. I noticed that you have changed and I cannot in good conscience, think of you as the resident bad boy anymore. Hmmm, it could be many reasons (and yes, I smell a conspiracy somewhere in there). Here are my theories: 1. You are in love. 2. You have found the holy grail of gluten-free bread 3. You have a new puppy 4. You pulled that splinter out 4. You have been listening to not only the great B.B. King, but also Clapton blues OR, DARE I SAY, 5. You have found God

(PLEASE KNOW THIS IS A FUN THREAD PEOPLE, FOR PITY'S SAKE :D )

You know it is funny that you should mention gfp as I was talking about him to Lynne a couple of days ago. I personally think that he has always been a nice person, but that he sometimes posts in an abrupt manner, so that we have to really think, and not take things at face value. I noticed a few times that after he came on real strong and people started to think and reply, he then would tone it down. I think he had achieved his purpose for that particular thread. It took me a couple of threads to notice this. :)

maybe he has brain fog from inhaling the smoke for his recent kitchen fire :blink: and then his girlfriend saw the kitchen :o ......... he is too busy googling TSP.. :)

I enjoy reading his posts too..

Robbin, Maybe gfp is taking his time in trying to figure out for us all whether grain alcohol is all right for coeliac sufferers.

For me, I have the answer, if I stick to wine there are no problems.

But that is not really the answer, as I have still got half a bottle of gin, and the hubby wants to use it as gear box oil! What am I to do? Nobody else will drink it. Any takers, surely it could go to a better home that the gear box!

Cath

I enjoy his posts as well. They get me thinking.

Steve where are you? You must defend your bad boy image... I don't know... this "nice" you is so...so...I think you are sweeping me off my feet.

He's busy cleaning out his kitchen after a little grease fire this morning. He'll be back soon enough.

You know, I have often wondered whether he is French or North American living in France. His English is perfect.

I think that I shall ask him. What do ya think Steve?

He's actually English living in France with an American girlfriend.

Yea, he's been able to remove his signature reminding us he's nice!! My theory is that he was being nice all along and didn't realize how abrupt he came across at times ... once he was told that it sounded that way, he was probably surprised and spent even more time composing his posts than he did before. Or, maybe it's cause his picture is there now! :)

Oh, you posted the same time I did! You just love a bunch of women talking about how nice you are, don't you????!!!

Steve, I don't know you that well so I'm not here to comment on your state of mind, but I just wanted to say that this OT post is much more refreshing than recent OT debates/bashing/defending/etc.....

The other posts, I'm not touching. Making good-natured fun of a friend? Now I'm all FOR that! :D

I remember Steve from his first "stint" on the board! I always got the feeling that he was a very sensitive, kind person inside.

I was glad to see him back, and I hope he dosen't get a swelled head beacuse he now has a thread dedicated to him! :lol:

Yep, Steve is a good man, even if I don't always appreciate his point of view! Still, it's possible to agree to disagree and be friends, anyway. We have a lot in common.

:blink: Am I the only person here that never thought he as a "bad" man? Some of his posts in a certin black listed thread sounded angry and hurt, but not like he himself was bad. And realy for the most part his replys while blunt/gruf always sounded to me like he was tyring to help, and trying to comminicate his ideas in a way that would be heard. I might disagree with his views, we certinly come from hugely different envirments, but I do not ever recall thinking he was a "bad person", at least not worse then the average person. :)

the "bad boy" term was used in the humorous sense- for those that know Steve - it looks like he loves to get teased a bit. None of the posts implied he was bad man...

although his girlfriend may think differently after the "oil fire" comes to light (couldn't resist the pun :lol: )

Say Steve, if she reacts - with a few expletives - would she say them in English, American or French? :lol::lol::lol:

..and we all feel for ya - having to clean up after a grease fire - not fun - so you can come here when you take breaks from scrubbing... and know that a bunch of women love ya even if you set fires

Hmmmmm...... I think that Steve has always posted very insightful, thought-provoking responses. He isn't "long-winded" like me :ph34r::lol: , but he gets to the heart of the issue and provides accurate, pertinant information.

Personally, there has been a thread in which I knew my "mouth" would get me in trouble should I choose to post there. I read Steve's post, which I thought was ABSOLUTELY correct, and PM'd him, telling him so. Just figured that I needed to stay away from trouble, but I wanted him to know that I wholeheartedly supported him. I just wish I had the guts to take a stand and defend it as he does.

IMHO, my interaction with him, even when we didn't agree, has been intellectually challenging . . . . (didn't know we were intellectuals, did ya?)

Don't know about the haircut issue, but I think his picture is "quite lovely", and I think he had better take a couple of cooking classes, given this morning's happenings!

Sorry, Steve, had to bust your chops!!!!!!!!! :lol::lol::lol:

No, if anyone really thought that, none of us would be posting on this thread! He does make himself quite fun to pick on! And, if I'm having brain fog, I have trouble discussing things with him!! He definately brings in an intellectual angle.

And, Lynn, you are not serious about him not being long winded, are you? :) He's very, um, thorough.

Thorough, well-read and always an interseting read...even if his new hair is a touch...mullettish...Hey, to each his own, right? :):):)

I've always enjoyed Steve's posts. He always brings in a lot of knowledge and I usually don't respond to his posts as I've nothing to add. One thread got particularly knowledge filled and I had to drop out of reading it.....didn't have the time to keep up with it. I think it was the autoimmune one.

Steve, keep up the good work.......please, no more fires though....I don't like those. Make sure to take a break now and then. That is a job I wouldn't look forward to....I'd probably spend much more time on here and wait for my husband to get home and help. :P

I had read a haircut thread within the last few months. Wasn't that the one with Ian posting? I guess I don't remember gfp being on that one.

No, no, no, we all directed him on his haircut ... the only problem is that pic was taken right afterward ... he just needs to mess it up a bit and post a new picture (it's the bangs ... way too perfect) ... Vincent is the one with the national award winning mullet!!!

I actually might need to start a thread on hair ... what color? It's been this light all summer, thinking of going more natural (dark blonde) with a few highlights ... don't know if I can start a thread on it though ...

Go ahead and start a hair thread! You know I'm always up for some hair talk :D

Yea--Steve's haircut was a fun thread! Where else but here can you get hair tips from all over the world!!

I still think his hair is "quite lovely", also. I do think a hair thread isn't a bad idea for some fun, though! I'm thinking of "low-lighting" mine a little . . . . it is getting to be fall around here, so there's no "we drive a convertible" excuse for my hair being THIS light! (Actually, it's the "I'm so gray I can't stand it" excuse, but, at 44, there's NO WAY I'm going to let the REAL hair show!)

Oddly, I was at the beauty supply place, getting the stuff for my hair. These two little girls were arguing over which color THEY would have . . . one chose Bright Blue, one chose Purple. I told them that my neice wanted me to have Hot Pink, but that old ladies shouldn't have hot pink hair. The one little girl said, "You're not old." I looked at her and smiled. Then she said, "You don't have gray hair." I looked at her mother and said, "That she can see, anyway!" It was bust-a-gut funny!!! My neice still wants me to do hot pink streaks . . . . with my luck, even the "wash-away" ones would stay about oh, six months. Talk about an old woman trying to look young . . . . . ICK.

OOPS -- didn't mean to hijack Steve's thread. Steve: If you're eavesdropping, "Hey, Cutie!!"

      Hi Jmartes, It sure is difficult to get useful advice from medical providers. Almost 20 years ago a Dr suggested that I might have Celiacs and I took a Celiac Panel blood test. No gluten challenge diet. On that test the tTG was in normal range but an alpha antibody was very high. I went online and read about celiac disease and saw how I could investigate...

      Airborne Gluten?

      I can't prove it, but I truly believe I have been glutened by airborne particles. I used to take care of shelter cats once per week at a pet store, and no matter how careful I was, I would get glutened each time even if I wore a mask and gloves and washed up well after I was done. I believe the problem was that because I'm short, I couldn't do the the tasks...

      Hi Jmartes, It sure is difficult to get useful advice from medical providers. Almost 20 years  ago a Dr suggested that I might have Celiacs and I took a Celiac Panel blood test. No gluten challenge diet. On that test the tTG was in normal range but an alpha antibody was very high. I went online and read about celiac disease and saw how I could investigate this low tTG and still have celiac disease. Normal tTG can happen when a person had been reacting for many years. Another way is that the person has not been eating enough gluten to raise the antibody level. Another reason is that the tTG does not show up on a blood but may show up on a fecal test. Almost all Celiacs inherit at least one of the 2 main Celiac genes. I had genetic tests for the Celiac genes at Enterolab.com. I inherited one main Celiac gene from one parent and the report said that the DQ gene I inherited from my other parent, DQ6, could cause a person to have more problems or symptoms with that combination. One of my grandmother's had fairly typical symptoms of Celiacs but the other grandmother had severe food intolerances. I seem to show some problems inherited from both grandmothers. Human physiology is very complex and researchers are just beginning to understand how different body systems interact.  If you have taken an autosomal DNA test you can download your raw data file and upload it to Prometheuw.com for a small fee and search for Celiac Disease. If you don't find any Cekiac genes or information about Celiac disease  you may not have autoimmune gluten intolerance because more than 99% of Celiacs have one or both of these genes.  PLEASE ASK QUESTIONS IF YOU WANT TO KNOW EHAT i HAVE DONE TO HELP WITH SYMPTOMS.

I used to take care of shelter cats once per week at a pet store, and no matter how careful I was, I would get glutened each time even if I wore a mask and gloves and washed up well after I was done. I believe the problem was that because I'm short, I couldn't do the the tasks without getting my head and shoulders inside their cages, and so the particles from their food would be all over my hair and top of my shirt. Then I had to drive home, so even if I didn't get glutened right then, the particles would be in my car just waiting for me to get in the car so they could get blown into my face again. I gave up that volunteer gig and stopped getting glutened so often and at such regular intervals.

      Airborne Gluten?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Hello, @annamarie6655, Yes, there's many of us who react to airborne gluten!   Yes, animal feed, whether for chickens or cats or dogs, can release airborne gluten.  I can get glutened from the bakery section at the grocery store.   The nose and mouth drain into the digestive system and can trigger systemic reactions.   I find the histamine release in response to airborne gluten will stuff up my sinuses and bother my eyes.  High histamine levels do cause anxiety and migraines.  The muscle spasms can be caused by high histamine, too.  The digestive system may not manifest symptoms without a higher level of gluten exposure.   Our bodies make an enzyme, DAO (diamine oxidase), to break down histamine.   Pyridoxine B 6, Cobalamine B12, Vitamin C, copper, zinc, and iron are needed to make DAO.  DAO supplements are available over the counter.  Taking a B Complex supplement and additional Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine or TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) helps reduce the amount of histamine being released.  Mast cells without sufficient Thiamine have an itchy trigger finger and release histamine at the slightest provocation.  Thiamine helps mast cells refrain from releasing their histamine.    I find taking additional TTFD thiamine helps immensely with neurological symptoms as TTFD can easily cross the blood brain barrier without a carrier.  High histamine in the brain can cause the muscle spasms, anxiety and migraines.  Vitamin C really helps with clearing histamine, too.   The Digiorno pizza mystery reaction could have been caused by a reaction to the cheese.  Some people develop lactose intolerance.  Others react to Casein, the protein in dairy, the same as if to gluten because Casein resembles the molecular structure of gluten.  An enzyme used in some dairy products, microbial transglutaminase, causes a gluten reaction because it is the same as the tissue transglutaminase our bodies make except microbes make it.  Those tTg IgA blood tests to diagnose celiac disease measure tissue transglutaminase our bodies release as part of the autoimmune response to gluten.   You're doing great!  A Sherlock Holmes award to you for figuring out the connection between airborne gluten and animal feed!!!
