Pork Digestive Systems Of Pigs... Does It Remove Gluten?

If god is so flawless surely he wouldn't send Peter the vision that would so easily be misinterpreted? or perhaps God intended people to make up their own minds?

Or, perhaps he wanted us to reflect on the after-life. We could no more understand the here-after than a baby in the womb could understand what the world is like. Jesus was a teacher, there are probably many lessons in each passage. That's why two different people can read the same thing and have it speak to them in different ways.

I do not eat fried food anymore and I can't have most meats, yet I am happy for those of you who can.

In addition to gluten, I also cannot have sugar, alcohol or caffeine because of all my meds ... of course, what I'd like is a martini (chocolate or cosmo) or a carmel macchiato! Or ice cream ... yum ... or an iced sugar cookie.

I actually have a FREEZER full of pork! :lol::lol::lol: Hubby went to a meat show yesterday and the sales reps got to take home the meat that the meat processers entered into a contest. It's usually really good stuff. However, I'm trying to stay away from cured stuff for the same reason darlindeb stays away from fried food (that, too).

Why can't eating healthy taste as good as all the bad stuff? :P

We all come from diverse places spiritually. I believe it is a personal issue. And on this forum, I feel that it should remain personal. I, too, have very strong beliefs about religion, but this is not to place for it.

As history reveals, religion can light fires here on celiac.com. Why don't we put this one out. ;)

Can we roast marshmallows on it first?

I second the roasting marshmallows idea! I'll bring the sticks!

Only if we discuss if marshmellows are truly gluten free, analyze the ingredients, talk about the possibility of cross contamination at the marshmellow factory, call the company to confirm, check the food labeling laws, see if the utensils used were new and if gluten could hide in them, talk about wheat in charcoal briskets and debate the possibility of getting sick while grilling, have someone chime in to ask if the marshmellows are safe for other food intolerances (casein, soy, eggs, etc), .....

I'm sure I've forgotten something. But yes, when we are done with that, then I'm sure we could roast the marshmellows. :lol:

Then we can mourn the loss of "real" graham crackers for making s'mores and tell stories about the good old days when we were young and the world (and our bodies) had no problems whatsoever.

The next day we can follow up by asking each other if anyone had any problems and maybe it was cc and maybe it was a new intolerance for somebody, or maybe it was just the stomach flu.

Absolutely and Carla explains WHY so well..

Jesus was a teacher, there are probably many lessons in each passage. That's why two different people can read the same thing and have it speak to them in different ways.

Its one thing to discuss differences in intepretation, its quite another to insist your interpretation is the ONLY one and EVERYONE else must be wrong...

and its not only celiac.com... religion has been lighting fires since before Christianity... since it was first thought of... entirely because of the differences in interpretation of essentially the same good stuff ... and whenever someone claims their interpretation is the only one fires get lit!

The Gluten Free Gourmet Bakes Bread has an awesome "the real thing" graham cracker recipe! DOn't give up the dream of a yummy s'mores! Of course, that means you'll have to eat marshmallows....all that nasty whipped white sugar. Ugh. There may be good, organic chocolate, but there is NO SUCH THING as organic marshmallows! :lol:

HOLY MOLY (no pun intended)! When I responded to the original "Pork" item on this forum, I had no idea this would happen! I have been asked why I opened this can of worms...[am working on trying to respond to that 1:1, but haven't figured out how yet]. I didn't intend to get people all fired up. I was simply responding to something that piqued my interest and wanted to respond to, so I did--no impulsivity involved, just plain ole wanting to speak up.

Just to add a insy wincy bit of fuel to the fire: I don't know that this ISN'T the forum to discuss personal issues like faith or belief...I mean, if we're free here to discus the most disgusting of body functions, why not something beautiful like faith, as well? Belly of the whale, you know?

Happy Birthday, by the way :D

Thank you! Yay! I'm 40! I'm counting myself as an Official Grown Up now.

I woke up this morning to my daughter (13 years sweet) making me breakfast--gluten-free hot cereal w/ raisins and yogurt! Yum! She had to get up at 5:30 am to do that earlier than me! Such love! The 15 year old lug (man child) even managed to tell me Happy Birthday and give me a hug! Then at work there were balloons, flowers, and a shamrock teddy bear waiting for me on my desk! A great birthday so far!

Happy Birthday!

Religion is one of those hot button topics. Not everyone views it the same way or shares the same beliefs, so it can cause some unnecessarily heated discussion...and detract from the reason for this board.

It's a good thing, or we wouldn't have a fire for our marshmallows!! I wonder what religion the marshmallows are ... Laura, you left that one out!

Jestgar, it's not cc from the marshmallows, it's a "sugar hangover"!!!

Susan, Carla would like your homemade marshmallow recipe!! ;) (continuing in the tradition Jerry started on his thread).

Happy birthday, Lady!! Remember when 40 sounded OLD? Yikes.

Oh yes, Jeanna would like your marshmallow recipe as well.

Religion can light fires on any board. I should know, I've lit a few in my day. Fortunately for y'all I'm a whole lot more mellow these days :P

Susan will happily provide the marshmallow recipe when she finds the energy (and the recipe :ph34r: ). Perhaps tomorrow, Susan must eat and tidy up and amuse the dingos and then prepare for new Grey's Anatomy tonight. ;)

      Not necessarily. The "Gluten Free" label means not more than 20ppm of gluten in the product which is often not enough for super sensitive celiacs. You would need to be looking for "Certified Gluten Free" (GFCO endorsed) which means no more than 10ppm of gluten. Having said that, "Gluten Free" doesn't mean that there will necessarily be more gluten than "Certified Gluten" in any given batch run. It just means there could be.

      I think it is wise to seek a second opinion from a GI doc and to go on a gluten free diet in the meantime. The GI doc may look at all the evidence, including the biopsy report, and conclude you don't need anything else to reach a dx of celiac disease and so, there would be no need for a gluten challenge. But if the GI doc does want to do more testing, you can worry about the gluten challenge at that time. But between now and the time of the appointment, if your symptoms improve on a gluten free diet, that is more evidence. Just keep in mind that if a gluten challenge is called for, the bare minimum challenge length is two weeks of the daily consumption of at least 10g of gluten, which is about the amount found in 4-6 slices of wheat bread. But, I would count on giving it four weeks to be sure.

      Are Bobresmill gluten free oats ok for sensitive celiacs?
    • jenniber
      thank you both for the insights. i agree, im going to back off on dairy and try sucraid. thanks for the tip about protein powder, i will look for whey protein powder/drinks!   i don’t understand why my doctor refused to order it either. so i’ve decided i’m not going to her again, and i’m going to get a second opinion with a GI recommended to me by someone with celiac. unfortunately my first appointment isn’t until February 17th. do you think i should go gluten free now or wait until after i meet with the new doctor? i’m torn about what i should do, i dont know if she is going to want to repeat the endoscopy, and i know ill have to be eating gluten to have a positive biopsy. i could always do the gluten challenge on the other hand if she does want to repeat the biopsy.    thanks again, i appreciate the support here. i’ve learned a lot from these boards. i dont know anyone in real life with celiac.

      Let me suggest an adjustment to your terminology. "Celiac disease" and "gluten intolerance" are the same. The other gluten disorder you refer to is NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) which is often referred to as being "gluten sensitive". Having said that, the reality is there is still much inconsistency in how people use these terms. Since celiac disease does damage to the small bowel lining it often results in nutritional deficiencies such as anemia. NCGS does not damage the small bowel lining so your history of anemia may suggest you have celiac disease as opposed to NCGS. But either way, a gluten-free diet is in order. NCGS can cause bodily damage in other ways, particularly to neurological systems.
